Abstract

The first set of theoretical cross sections for propylene oxide (CH3CHCH2O) colliding with cold He atoms has been obtained at the full quantum level using a high-accuracy potential energy surface. By scaling the collision reduced mass, rotational rate coefficients for collisions with para-H2 are deduced in the temperature range 5-30 K. These collisional coefficients are combined with radiative data in a non-LTE radiative transfer model in order to reproduce observations of propylene oxide made towards the Sagittarius B2(N) molecular cloud with the Green Bank and Parkes radio telescopes. The three detected absorption lines are found to probe the cold (~ 10 K) and translucent (nH ~ 2000 cm-3) gas in the outer edges of the extended Sgr B2(N) envelope. The derived column density for propylene oxide is Ntot ~ 3e12 cm-2, corresponding to a fractional abundance relative to total hydrogen of ~ 2.5e-11. The present results are expected to help our understanding of the chemistry of propylene oxide, including a potential enantiomeric excess, in the cold interstellar medium., Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ (2021/12/14)

Abstract

The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC) Consortium is a worldwide consortium which federates atomic and molecular databases through an e-science infrastructure and an organisation to support this activity. About 90% of the inter-connected databases handle data that are used for the interpretation of astronomical spectra and for modelling in many fields of astrophysics. Recently the VAMDC Consortium has connected databases from the radiation damage and the plasma communities, as well as promoting the publication of data from Indian institutes. This paper describes how the VAMDC Consortium is organised for the optimal distribution of atomic and molecular data for scientific research. It is noted that the VAMDC Consortium strongly advocates that authors of research papers using data cite the original experimental and theoretical papers as well as the relevant databases.

4. Comparative Theoretical Study of H2Eley–Rideal Recombination Dynamics on W(100) and W(110)

Abstract

Quasiclassical molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the Eley–Rideal recombination of H2on two crystallographic planes of tungsten. Potential energy surfaces, based on density functional theory, are used to describe the H+H/W(100, 110) interactions. The calculations are carried out within the single adsorbate limit under normal incidence of the impinging H atoms. The influence of the crystallographic anisotropy on reaction cross sections and energy distribution of the formed molecules is analyzed in detail. Despite some discrepancies in the dynamics of recombination between W(100) and W(110) surfaces, translational, rotational, and vibrational energies of the formed molecules do not depend significantly on surface symmetry. Vibrational distribution of formed H2molecules are found in good agreement with experiments.
