Photodissociation of interstellar N2⋆
Context. Molecular nitrogen is one of the key species in the chemistry of interstellar clouds and protoplanetary disks, but its photodissociation under interstellar conditions has never been properly studied. The partitioning of nitrogen between N and N2 controls the formation of more complex prebiotic nitrogen-containing species. Aims. The aim of this work is to gain a better understanding of ...
متن کاملIsotope selective photodissociation of N2 by the interstellar radiation field and cosmic rays
Context. Photodissociation of N2 and 14N15N occurs in interstellar clouds, circumstellar envelopes, protoplanetary discs, and other environments due to ultraviolet radiation originating from stellar sources and the presence of cosmic rays. This source of N atoms initiates the formation of more complex N-bearing species and may influence their isotopic composition. Aims. We study the photodissoc...
متن کاملCompetition between Co and N2 Desorption from Interstellar Ices
Millimeter observations of preand protostellar cores show that the abundances of the gas-phase tracer molecules, CO and N2H , anticorrelate with each other and often exhibit “holes” where the density is greatest. These results are reasonably reproduced by astrochemical models, provided that the ratio between the binding energies of N2 and CO, , is taken to be between 0.5 and 0.75. This Letter i...
متن کاملProduction of H+3 via photodissociation of organic molecules in interstellar clouds
We present experimental results obtained from photoionization and photodissociation processes of abundant interstellar CH3-X type organic molecules like methanol (CH3OH), methylamine (CH3NH2) and acetonitrile (CH3CN) as alternative route for the production of H+3 in interstellar and star forming environments. The measurements were taken at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), empl...
متن کاملEvolution of interstellar dust with Herschel. First results in the photodissociation regions of NGC 7023*
Context. In photodissociation regions (PDRs), the physical conditions and the excitation evolve on short spatial scales as a function of depth within the cloud, providing a unique opportunity to study how the dust and gas populations evolve with the excitation and physical conditions. The mapping of the PDRs in NGC 7023 performed during the science demonstration phase of Herschel is part of the...
