Laboratory Synthesis of Molecular Hydrogen on Surfaces of Astrophysical Interest
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on the first results of experiments to measure the recombination rate of hydrogen on surfaces of astrophysical interest. Our measurements give lower values for the recombination efficiency (sticking probability S x probability of recombination upon H-H encounter γ) than model-based estimates. We propose that our results can be reconciled with average estimates of the recombination rate (1/2nHngvHASγ) from astronomical observations, if the actual surface of an average grain is rougher, and its area bigger, than the one considered in models. Subject headings: dust— ISM; abundances — ISM; molecules — molecular processes

Gas temperature dependent sticking of hydrogen on cold amorphous water ice surfaces of interstellar interest.
Using the King and Wells method, we present experimental data on the dependence of the sticking of molecular hydrogen and deuterium on the beam temperature onto nonporous amorphous solid water ice surfaces of interstellar interest. A statistical model that explains the isotopic effect and the beam temperature behavior of our data is proposed. This model gives an understanding of the discrepancy...

متن کاملOptimization of Preparation Factors for Cerium Oxide Synthesis as a Support for CO PrOx Catalyst
Nanocrystalline ceria has been considered as support for carbon monoxide preferentially oxidation. In this study ceria was prepared by precipitation method and the effects of preparation conditions, such as pH of solution (8-10), aging time (1-12 hr), drying temperature (80-120 °C), calcination time (2-6 hr) and temperature (400-600 °C) were investigated on ceria synthesized powders properties....
متن کاملEfficiency of Molecular Hydrogen Formation on Silicates
We report on laboratory measurements of molecular hydrogen formation and recombination on an olivine slab as a function of surface temperature under conditions relevant to those encountered in the interstellar medium. On the basis of our experimental evidence, we recognize that there are two main regimes of H coverage that are of astrophysical importance; for each of them we provide an expressi...
متن کاملThe stopping of low energy ions in reactions of astrophysical interest
The velocity dependence of the stopping power of swift protons and deuterons in low energy collisions with hydrogen and helium gas targets is investigated with the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger coupled-channels equations using molecular orbital wavefunctions. At low projectile energies the stopping is mainly due to nuclear stopping, charge exchange of the electron, and ex...
