Predicting observable infrared signatures of nanosilicates in the diffuse interstellar medium

Faraday Discuss., 2023, 245,609-619
DOI: 10.1039/D3FD00055A, Paper

Streamers feeding the SVS13-A protobinary system: astrochemistry reveals accretion shocks?

Faraday Discuss., 2023, 245,164-180
DOI: 10.1039/D3FD00018D, Paper
Eleonora Bianchi, Ana López-Sepulcre, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Claudio Codella, Linda Podio, Mathilde Bouvier, Joan Enrique-Romero, Rafael Bachiller, Bertrand Lefloch
We analyse deuterated water (HDO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) at high-angular resolution in the binary system SVS13-A. We propose that molecular emission is produced by an accretion shock at the interface between the accretion streamer and the disk.
