Chiral molecule formation in interstellar ice analogs: alpha-aminoethanol NH 2 CH(CH 3 )OH
Aims. Aminoalcohol molecules such as alpha-aminoethanol NH2CH(CH3)OH may be aminoacid precursors. We attempt to characterize and detect this kind of molecules which is important to establish a possible link between interstellar molecules and life as we know it on Earth. Methods. We use Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to study the formation of alphaaminoethan...
متن کاملThe Formation of Acetic Acid (ch3cooh) in Interstellar Ice Analogs
Binary ice mixtures of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) ices were irradiated at 12 K with energetic electrons to mimic the energy transfer processes that occur in the track of the trajectories of MeV cosmic-ray particles. The formation of trans-acetic acid (CH3COOH) was established through the appearance of new bands in the infrared spectrum at 1780, 1195, 1160, 1051, and 957 cm ; two di...
متن کاملA quantitative analysis of OCN− formation in interstellar ice analogs
The 4.62μm absorption band, observed along the line-of-sight towards various young stellar objects, is generally used as a qualitative indicator for energetic processing of interstellar ice mantles. This interpretation is based on the excellent fit with OCN−, which is readily formed by ultraviolet (UV) or ion-irradiation of ices containing H2O, CO and NH3. However, the assignment requires both ...
متن کاملMechanisms of Amino Acid Formation in Interstellar Ice Analogs
Amino acids have been identified in carbonaceous chondrites, but their origin is yet unknown. Previous work has shown that a variety of amino acids can be formed via ultraviolet photolysis of interstellar ice analogs. Two possible mechanisms of formation of these amino acids have been proposed: a Strecker-type synthesis or a radical-radical mechanism. In this work, we have used isotopic labelin...
