Water formation by reaction of H2 and O on silicate surfaces as a first step towards generation of interstellar ice mantles is possible thanks to the activation of H2 due to interacting with Fe2+ ions and accelerated by quantum tunnelling effects Water is the most...

Sulphur depletion is a long-standing problem in the astrochemical community and computational studies can help in discovering the behaviour of S-bearing species. The first step is understanding what happens to gas phase species when they adsorb on the grains, a...

This is a combined experimental and computational work focused on measuring and calculating binding energies of acetaldehyde, clarify how to reconcile theoretical BEs and experimental TPD data and finally to give astrochemical implications based on the previous...

Theoretical calculations shed light on the adsorption of some of the most common interstellar complex organic molecules on a crystalline water ice surface, underlining the contribution of dispersive forces in accurately describing the interactions in the adsorbate/ice...

The formation of interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) has bee investigated adoting radical-radical coupling reactions on amorphous water ice, finding that many of these reactions do have an energy barrier due to the interaction of the radicals with the water...

We have analyzed the superbolides recorded by the US Government satellite sensors. We found that ∼1/4 of the large fireballs detected from the space could be associated with near-Earth objects or meteoroid streams. The suspected interstellar rocky messenger exhibits a...
