Guiding the search for Si2Hx species in the Circumstellar Envelope of IRC+10216
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silicon-bearing species Si2Hx (x = 1–6) are probable candidates in the circumstellar envelope of IRC+10216. We have observed several fundamentals of new silicon-containing radicals Si2H3 and Si2H5 in addition to the well-known Si2H4 and Si2H6 species from infrared spectroscopy in low temperature silane matrices at 10 K. Several infrared bands identify the Si2Hx species and can be used to search for these molecules in the circumstellar envelope of IRC+10216. These infrared bands are confirmed by ab initio quantum chemical calculation as well as via corresponding infrared spectra detected for the deuterated species Si2Dx.

متن کاملLABORATORY STUDIES ON THE INFRARED ABSORPTIONS OF HYDROGENATED CARBON-SILICON CLUSTERS: DIRECTING THE IDENTIFICATION OF ORGANOMETALLIC SiCHx SPECIES TOWARD IRC +10216
Silicon-bearing species of the molecular formula SiCHx (x 1⁄4 1 6) are plausible candidates for organometallic molecules that might be present in the circumstellar envelope of IRC +10216. Combining matrix-isolation laboratory experiments with computed vibrational spectra of these molecules, we have observed several fundamentals of the new silicon-containing radicals SiCH3 and SiCH5, in addition...
متن کاملModelling enhanced density shells in the circumstellar envelope of IRC + 10216
The circumstellar envelopes of very evolved, late-type asymptotic giant branch stars exhibit complex molecular structure. The most striking of these objects is the carbon star IRC +10216 (CW Leo), where over 50 molecular species, including carbon chains with up to nine carbon atoms, have been detected. The envelope of IRC +10216 is now known to contain dust shells of enhanced density which are ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the chemical complexity in Circumstellar Envelopes of C-Rich AGB stars: The case of IRC +10216
The circumstellar envelopes of carbon-rich AGB stars show a chemical complexity that is exemplified by the prototypical object IRC +10216, in which about 60 different molecules have been detected to date. Most of these species are carbon chains of the type CnH, CnH2, CnN, HCnN. We present the detection of new species (CH2CHCN, CH2CN, H2CS, CH3CCH and C3O) achieved thanks to the systematic obser...
متن کاملImproved isotopic ratio determinations in IRC+10216, the progenitor mass and the s process
We present an improved determination of the chlorine isotopic ratio in the circumstellar envelope IRC+10216. This determination is the first clear evidence that in this circumstellar envelope elements heavier than the CNO do show deviations from the solar isotopic ratios, thus allowing a detailed comparison with quantitative model predictions. We have compared these data, together with other me...
