1 Testing grain-surface chemistry in massive hot-core regions and the laboratory (A&A, 465, 913 and A&A submitted) Suzanne Bisschop Jes Jørgensen, Ewine van Dishoeck, Evelyn de Wachter, Guido Fuchs, Harold Linnartz 17-08-07

2 Origin of complex molecules in star- forming regions  Wealth of complex organic molecules detected in protostellar hot core regions (both high- and low- mass!)  Origin unclear:  Grain-surface chemistry  High temperature gas phase chemistry  Aim: test grain surface chemistry proposed by Tielens & Charnley through combined observations and lab experiments Based on Tielens and Charnley 1997 ---:detected in gas phase ––:detected in solid state

3 Observed JCMT spectra and correlations Observed abundance relations and excitation temperatures used to classify molecules N(X)/bf CH 3 OH H 2 CO CH 3 OCHO CH 3 OCH 3 C 2 H 5 OH HNCONH 2 CHO Expected to form from CH 3 CHO, but precursor detected only in cold gas Bisschop et al., A&A, 465, 913 Some model relations confirmed, some not Empirical correlations

4 Testing the CH 3 CHO + H  C 2 H 5 OH reaction in the laboratory CH 3 CHO ices are bombarded at 10 -10 mbar with H-atoms (flux: ~8x10 13 atoms s -1 ) Yields of ~20% C 2 H 5 OH are detected with a QMS mass spectrometer! But CH 4, H 2 CO and CH 3 OH are formed as well => fragmentation Bisschop et al., submitted to A&A

5 Conclusions ● Experiments show that formation of C 2 H 5 OH from CH 3 CHO in the ice is possible ● Remaining question: why is no CH 3 CHO observed in hot cores? – It is fully hydrogenated in the ice before desorption – It is destroyed in the ice by thermal/energetic processing Molecular line observations + laboratory experiments of interstellar ice analogues  toward understanding chemical processes in star forming regions Based on Tielens and Charnley 1997 ---:detected in gas phase ––:detected in solid state Confirmed!
