Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2023 Molecular clouds (MCs) in space are the birthplace of various molecular species. Chemical reactions occurring on the cryogenic surfaces of cosmic icy dust grains have been considered to play important roles in the formation of these species. Radical reactions are crucial because they often have low barriers and thus proceed even at low temperatures ...

Atomistic Modeling of Methyl Formate and Glycolaldehyde Formation on Interstellar Dirty Ice Mantles via a "Radical + Ice" Mechanism. [PDF]
ChempluschemThe presence of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) has been baffling astrochemists for a long time. Methyl formate and glycolaldehyde are widely detected but their abundances mismatch kinetic astrochemical model predictions. Here, the formation of these two COMs is characterized onto a mixed ice surface, highlighting the importance of ...

Processing of Interstellar Dust Grains in Galaxies Revealed by AKARI [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractWith AKARI, we have performed a systematic study of interstellar dust grains in various environments of galaxies. In many cases, the IR emission of dust is an important tool to trace star-forming activities in galaxies. However it is much more than just star-formation tracers. AKARI has revealed the detailed properties of dust grains in regions

Shock Processing of Interstellar Dust and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Supernova Remnant N132D [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 We observed the oxygen-rich Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) supernova remnant N132D (SNR 0525-69.6), using all instruments onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope, IRS, IRAC, and MIPS (Infrared Spectrograph, Infrared Array Camera, Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer). The 5-40 micron IRS spectra toward the southeastern shell of the remnant show a steeply

Consequences of the Solar System passage through dense interstellar clouds [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2003 Several consequences of the passage of the solar system through dense interstellar molecular clouds are discussed. These clouds, dense (more than 100 cm-3), cold (10–50 K) and extended (larger than 1 pc), are characterized by a gas-to-dust mass ...

INVESTIGATION OF CARBONACEOUS INTERSTELLAR DUST ANALOGUES BY INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY: EFFECTS OF ENERGETIC PROCESSING [PDF]
Proceedings of the 70th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, 2015 70 ISMS, Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, June 22-26, 2015; http://isms.illinois.edu/2015/ Carbonaceous compounds, both solids and gas-phase molecules, are found in very diverse astronomical mediaa. A significant amount of the elemental carbon is found in small dust grains. This carbonaceous dust, mostly formed in the last stages of evolution of C-

Unusual Chemical Processes in Interstellar Chemistry: Past and Present
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The chemistry that occurs in interstellar clouds consists of both gas-phase processes and reactions on the surfaces of dust grains, the latter particularly on and in water-dominated ice mantles in cold clouds.
