The interstellar medium is characterized by a rich and diverse chemistry. Many of its
complex organic molecules are proposed to form through radical chemistry in icy grain …

The cross-disciplinary field of astrochemistry exists to understand the formation, destruction,
and survival of molecules in astrophysical environments. Molecules in space are …

The evolution of star-forming regions and their thermal balance are strongly influenced by
their chemical composition, which, in turn, is determined by the physicochemical processes …

Binding energies (BEs) are one of the most important parameters for astrochemical
modeling determining, because they govern whether a species stays in the gas phase or is …

Dust grains play a central role in the physics and chemistry of cosmic environments. They
influence the optical and thermal properties of the medium due to their interaction with stellar …

Complex organic molecules are widely observed in star-forming regions, although their
formation mechanisms are not well understood. Solid-state chemistry is thought to play an …

Context. Interstellar grains are known to be important actors in the formation of interstellar
molecules such as H 2, water, ammonia, and methanol. It has been suggested that the so …

Context. Physisorbed atoms on the surface of interstellar dust grains play a central role in
solid state astrochemistry. Their surface reactivity is one source of the observed molecular …

The mobility of atoms, molecules, and radicals in icy grain mantles regulates ice
restructuring, desorption, and chemistry in astrophysical environments. Interstellar ices are …

Water (H2O) ice is a ubiquitous component of the universe, having been detected in a
variety of interstellar and Solar System environments where radiation plays an important role …
