Production of Hydronium Ion (H3O)+ and Protonated Water Clusters (H2O)nH+ after Energetic Ion Bombardment of Water Ice in Astrophysical Environments

TL;DR: Results show a progressive yield decrease with increasing temperature of all of the detected species, related to the structure of the ice: the ionic sputtering yield for crystalline ice is much lower than for an amorphous ice, and the yields decrease by about one order of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of complex organic molecules in molecular clouds: acetaldehyde, vinyl alcohol, ketene, and ethanol via the "energetic" processing of C$_2$H$_2$ ice

TL;DR: In this article, the H$^+$ radiolysis of interstellar C$2$H$_2$O ice analogs at 17 K was investigated with laboratory measurements focusing on the energetic counterpart, induced by cosmic rays penetrating the H2O-rich ice mantle.
