Interferometric observations of large biologically interesting interstellar and cometary molecules.
Interferometric observations of high-mass regions in interstellar molecular clouds have revealed hot molecular cores that have substantial column densities of large, partly hydrogen-saturated molecules. Many of these molecules are of interest to biology and thus are labeled "biomolecules." Because the clouds containing these molecules provide the material for star formation, they may provide in...
متن کاملBiomolecules in the Interstellar Medium and in Comets
We review recent studies of organic molecule formation in dense molecular clouds and in comets. We summarise the known organic inventories of molecular clouds and recent comets, particularly Hale-Bopp. The principal chemical formation pathways involving gas phase reactions, as well as formation by catalytic reactions on grain surfaces or through dust fragmentation, are identified for both dense...
متن کاملNew insight into the formation of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) in interstellar and cometary ice analogs
Aims. We investigate the purely thermal formation of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT, C6H12N4) in interstellar ice analogs from nonphotolysed ice and compare our results with those for the formation from photolysed ice. Methods. We use Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy to follow residue formation from VUV irradiation of H2CO:NH3 ice mixture in different concentration ratios. We also report th...
متن کاملLaboratory Studies on the Irradiation of Methane in Interstellar, Cometary, and Solar System Ices
Pure methane ices (CH4) were irradiated at 10 K with energetic electrons to mimic the energy transfer processes that occur in the track of the trajectories of MeV cosmic-ray particles. The experiments were monitored via an FTIR spectrometer (solid state) and a quadrupole mass spectrometer (gas phase). Combined with electronic structure calculations, this paper focuses on the identification of C...
متن کاملLaboratory experimental simulations: Chemical evolution of the organic matter from interstellar and cometary ice analogs
This contribution addresses the different approaches that are developed in our laboratory to study the chemical evolution of organic matter in stellar or interplanetary environments. In the first approach, starting from interstellar or cometary ice analogs subjected to different energy processes (thermal, photochemical), we aim to explain the mechanism of formation of key molecules (RING projec...
