Astrophysical ices are exposed to different radiation fields including photons, electrons and
ions. The latter stem from interstellar cosmic rays (CR), the solar and stellar winds, shock …

Context. Under cold conditions in dense cores, gas-phase molecules and atoms are
depleted from the gas-phase to the surface of interstellar grains. Considering the time scales …

This review concentrates on the specific properties and characteristics of damage structures
generated with high-energy ions in the electronic energy loss regime. Irradiation …

Recent advances in modular nuclear reactors could facilitate the use of irradiation to
produce fuels and chemicals using anthropogenic CO2. One of the challenges in CO2 …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most abundant ices in the Solar System. It has been
detected in giant planet atmospheres and on their moons, on and around comets, and even …

The astrochemistry of CO 2 ice analogues has been a topic of intensive investigation due to
the prevalence of CO 2 throughout the interstellar medium and the Solar System, as well as …

Context. The occurrence of complex organic molecules (COMs) in the gas phase at low
temperature in the dense phases of the interstellar medium suggests that a non-thermal …

Aims. Interstellar grain mantles present in dense interstellar clouds are in constant exchange
with the gas phase via accretion and desorption mechanisms such as UV, X-ray …

Chemical reactions and desorption processes are being triggered by incoming ionizing
radiation over astrophysical ices in cold space environments. The quantification of these …

The ubiquity of sulfur ions within the Jovian magnetosphere has led to suggestions that the
implantation of these ions into the surface of Europa may lead to the formation of SO2 …
