The Distribution of Interstellar Molecules in Dust Clouds as Derived from Laboratory Experiments
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
Irradiation of adsorbed simple gases leads to the formation of rather complex molecules. On the basis of the wavelength dependence and the cross sections for formation and desorption an average molecule density can be estimated. The wavelength dependence further shows that molecules can be formed in denser regions where they are protected from dissociating radiation. A simple model is proposed which shows the molecule distribution as a function of dust density.
