Résumé scientifique
The evolution of star-forming regions and their thermal balance are strongly influenced by their chemical composition, that, in turn, is determined by the physico-chemical processes that govern the transition between the gas phase and the solid state, specifically icy dust grains (e.g., particles adsorption and desorption). Gas-grain and grain-gas transitions as well as formation and sublimation of interstellar ices are thus essential elements of understanding astrophysical observations of cold environments (e.g., pre-stellar cores) where unexpected amounts of a large variety of chemical species have been observed in the gas phase. Adsorbed atoms and molecules also undergo chemical reactions which are not efficient in the gas phase. Therefore, the parameterization of the physical properties of atoms and molecules interacting with dust grain particles is clearly a key aspect to interpret astronomical observations and to build realistic and predictive astrochemical models. In this consensus evaluation, we focus on parameters controlling the thermal desorption of ices and how these determine pathways towards molecular complexity and define the location of snowlines, which ultimately influence the planet formation process. We review different crucial aspects of desorption parameters both from a theoretical and experimental point of view. We critically assess the desorption parameters commonly used in the astrochemical community for astrophysical relevant species and provide tables with recommended values. In addition, we show that a non-trivial determination of the pre-exponential factor nu using the Transition State Theory can affect the binding energy value. Finally, we conclude this work by discussing the limitations of theoretical and experimental approaches currently used to determine the desorption properties with suggestions for future improvements.

Modelling dust processing and the evolution of grain sizes in the ISM using the method of momentsLars Mattsson · 2016 · Astrophysique des galaxies · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
Interstellar dust grains do not have a single well-defined origin. Stars are demonstrably dust producers, but also efficient destroyers of cosmic dust. Dust destruction in the ISM is believed to be the result of SN shocks hitting the ambient ISM gas (and dust) and lead to an increased rate of ion sputtering, which reduces the dust mass. Grains located in cold molecular clouds can on the other hand grow by condensation, thus providing a replenishment mechanism or even a dominant channel of dust formation. In dense environments grains may coagulate and form large composite grains and aggregates and if grains collide with large enough energies they may be shattered, forming a range of smaller d…

Surface astrochemistry: a computational chemistry perspectiveH. M. Cuppen, A. Fredon, T. Lamberts et al. · 2022 · Astrochemistry VII -- Through the Cosmos from Galaxies to Planets", proceedings of the IAU Symposium No. 332, 2017, Puer · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
Molecules in space are synthesized via a large variety of gas-phase reactions, and reactions on dust-grain surfaces, where the surface acts as a catalyst. Especially, saturated, hydrogen-rich molecules are formed through surface chemistry. Astrochemical models have developed over the decades to understand the molecular processes in the interstellar medium, taking into account grain surface chemistry. However, essential input information for gas-grain models, such as binding energies of molecules to the surface, have been derived experimentally only for a handful of species, leaving hundreds of species with highly uncertain estimates. Moreover, some fundamental processes are not well enough c…

Observational Constraints on the Physical Properties of Interstellar Dust in the Post-Planck EraBrandon S. Hensley, B. T. Draine · 2020 · 2021 ApJ, 906, 73 · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
We present a synthesis of the astronomical observations constraining the wavelength-dependent extinction, emission, and polarization from interstellar dust from UV to microwave wavelengths on diffuse Galactic sightlines. Representative solid phase abundances for those sightlines are also derived. Given the sensitive new observations of polarized dust emission provided by the Planck satellite, we place particular emphasis on dust polarimetry, including continuum polarized extinction, polarization in the carbonaceous and silicate spectroscopic features, the wavelength-dependent polarization fraction of the dust emission, and the connection between optical polarized extinction and far-infrared …

Dust evolution in the transition towards the denser ISM: impact on dust temperature, opacity, and spectral indexMelanie Köhler, Nathalie Ysard, Anthony P. Jones · 2015 · Astrophysique des galaxies · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
Variations in the observed dust emission and extinction indicate a systematic evolution of grain properties in the transition from the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) to denser molecular clouds. The differences in the dust spectral energy distribution (SED) observed from the diffuse ISM to denser regions, namely an increase in the spectral index at long wavelengths, an increase in the FIR opacity, and a decrease in temperature, are usually assumed to be the result of changes in dust properties. We investigate if evolutionary processes, such as coagulation and accretion, are able to change the dust properties of grains in a way that is consistent with observations. We use a core-mantle grai…

Implications of evaporative cooling by H$_2$ for 1I/`OumuamuaThiem Hoang, Abraham Loeb · 2023 · Astrophysique des galaxies · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
The first interstellar object observed in our solar system, 1I/`Oumuamua, exhibited several peculiar properties, including extreme elongation and non-gravitational acceleration. \cite{Bergner.2023} proposed that evaporation of trapped H$_2$ created by cosmic rays (CRs) can explain the non-gravitational acceleration. However, their calculation of surface temperature ignored the crucial cooling effect of evaporating H$_2$. By taking into account the cooling by H$_2$ evaporation, we show that the surface temperature of H$_2$-water ice is lower than the temperature obtained by Bergner and Seligman (2023) by a factor of 9. As a result, the thermal speed of outgassing H$_2$ is decreased by a facto…

Understanding the temperatures of H3+ and H2 in diffuse interstellar sightlinesJacques Le Bourlot, Evelyne Roueff, Franck Le Petit et al. · 2023 · Astrophysique des galaxies · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
The triatomic hydrogen ion H3+ is one of the most important species for the gas phase chemistry of the interstellar medium. Observations of H3+ are used to constrain important physical and chemical parameters of interstellar environments. However, the temperatures inferred from the two lowest rotational states of H3+ in diffuse lines of sight - typically the only ones observable - appear consistently lower than the temperatures derived from H2 observations in the same sightlines. All previous attempts at modelling the temperatures of H3+ in the diffuse interstellar medium failed to reproduce the observational results. Here we present new studies, comparing an independent master equation for …

Probing the Conditions for the Hı-to-H$_{2}$ Transition in the Interstellar MediumGyueun Park, Min-Young Lee, Shmuel Bialy et al. · 2023 · Astrophysique des galaxies · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
In this paper, we investigate the conditions for the HI-to-H$_{2}$ transition in the solar neighborhood by analyzing HI emission and absorption measurements toward 58 Galactic lines of sight (LOSs) along with $^{12}$CO(1$-$0) (CO) and dust data. Based on the accurate column densities of the cold and warm neutral medium (CNM and WNM), we first perform a decomposition of gas into atomic and molecular phases and show that the observed LOSs are mostly HI-dominated. In addition, we find that the CO-dark H$_{2}$, not the optically thick HI, is a major ingredient of the dark gas in the solar neighborhood. To examine the conditions for the formation of CO-bright molecular gas, we analyze the kinemat…

Energy transfer and restructuring in amorphous solid water upon consecutive irradiationHerma M. Cuppen, Jennifer A. Noble, Stephane Coussan et al. · 2022 · Astrophysique des galaxies · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
Interstellar and cometary ices play an important role in the formation of planetary systems around young stars. Their main constituent is amorphous solid water (ASW). Although ASW is widely studied, vibrational energy dissipation and structural changes due to vibrational excitation are less well understood. The hydrogen-bonding network is likely a crucial component in this. Here we present experimental results on hydrogen-bonding changes in ASW induced by the intense, nearly monochromatic mid-IR free-electron laser (FEL) radiation of the FELIX-2 beamline at the HFML-FELIX facility at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Structural changes in ASW are monitored by reflection-ab…
