The chemical and physical effects induced by fast heavy ion irradiation on frozen pure
methanol (CH3OH) at 15 K were studied. These energetic ions can simulate the energy …

We studied the effects produced by the interaction of heavy ion cosmic rays with interstellar
and cometary organic molecules in the solid phase. Formic acid (HCOOH) ice at 15 K was …

We investigate the effects produced mainly by broadband soft X-rays up to 2 keV (plus fast
(∼ keV) photoelectrons and low-energy (∼ eV) induced secondary electrons) in the ice …

Despite the extensive search for glycine (NH2CH2COOH) and other amino acids in
molecular clouds associated with star-forming regions, only upper limits have been derived …

The effect of X-ray irradiation on the isolated formic acid molecules (HCOOH) in solid noble
gas matrices (Xe, Kr, Ar, and Ne) at very low temperatures (6 K) was first studied by FTIR …

The abundances of molecules and ions depend on the mechanisms of their formation and
destruction that can occur both in the gas phase and in the condensed phase on grain …

We report the results of an experimental study of electron ionization of large helium
nanodroplets doped with formic acid (FA). Several homologous series of cluster anions are …

Abstract Poly (methylmetacrilate)-maghemite (PMMA-gamma-Fe 2 O 3) hybrid material was
studied by the electron stimulated ion desorption (ESID) techniques coupled with time-of …

This review reports the Brazilian history in astrobiology, as well as the first delineation of a
vision of the future development of the field in the country, exploring its abundant …

High-resolution mass spectra of helium droplets doped with C 60 and formic acid (FA) are
ionized by electrons. Positive ion mass spectra reveal cluster ions [(C 60) p FA n]+ together …
