The thermal desorption of ammonia (NH$_3$) from single crystal forsterite (010) has been investigated using temperature-programmed desorption. The effect of defects on the desorption process has been probed by the use of a rough cut forsterite surface prepared from the cleaved forsterite sample. Several approaches have been used to extract the desorption energy and pre-exponential factor describing the desorption kinetics. In the sub-monolayer coverage regime, the NH$_3$ desorption shows a broad distribution of desorption energies, indicating the presence of different adsorption sites, which results in an apparent coverage-dependent desorption energy. This distribution is sensitive to the surface roughness with the cut forsterite surface displaying a significantly broader distribution of desorption energies compared to the cleaved forsterite surface. The cut forsterite surface exhibits sites with desorption energies up to 62.5 kJ mol$^{-1} $ in comparison to a desorption energy of up to 58.0 kJ mol$^{-1} $ for the cleaved surface. Multilayer desorption is independent of the nature of the forsterite surface used, with a desorption energy of ($25.8pm0.9$) kJ mol$^{-1} $. On astrophysically relevant heating time-scales, the presence of a coverage dependent desorption energy distribution results in a lengthening of the NH$_3$ desorption time-scale by $5.9times 10^4$ yr compared to that expected for a single desorption energy. In addition, the presence of a larger number of high-energy adsorption sites on the rougher cut forsterite surface leads to a further lengthening of ca. 7000 yr.

We present temperature programmed desorption (TPD) measurements of CO, CH$_4$, O$_2$ and CO$_2$ from the forsterite(010) surface in the sub-monolayer and multilayer coverage regimes. In the case of CO, CH$_4$ and O$_2$, multilayer growth begins prior
to saturation of the monolayer peak, resulting in two clearly distinguishable desorption peaks. On the other hand a single peak for CO$_2$ is observed which shifts from high temperature at low coverage to low temperature at high coverages, sharpening upon multilayer formation. The leading edges are aligned for all the molecules in the multilayer coverage regime indicating zero order desorption. We have extracted multilayer desorption energies for these molecules using an Arrhenius analysis. For sub-monolayer coverages, we observe an extended desorption tail to higher temperature. Inversion analysis has been used to extract the coverage dependent desorption energies in the sub-monolayer coverage regime, from which we obtain the desorption energy distribution. We found that owing to the presence of multiple adsorption energy sites on the crystalline surface the typical desorption energies of these small molecules are significantly larger than obtained in previous measurements for several other substrates. Therefore molecules bound to crystalline silicate surfaces may remain locked in the solid state for a longer period of time before desorption into the gas phase.
The desorption characteristics of molecules on interstellar dust grains are important for modelling the behaviour of molecules in icy mantles and, critically, in describing the solid-gas interface. In this study, a series of laboratory experiments ex
ploring the desorption of three small molecules from three astrophysically relevant surfaces are presented. The desorption of CO, O2 and CO2 at both sub-monolayer and multilayer coverages was investigated from non-porous water, crystalline water and silicate surfaces. Experimental data was modelled using the Polanyi-Wigner equation to produce a mathematical description of the desorption of each molecular species from each type of surface, uniquely describing both the monolayer and multilayer desorption in a single combined model. The implications of desorption behaviour over astrophysically relevant timescales are discussed.
In this article we present the detection of the 69 {mu}m band of the crystalline olivine forsterite within the MESS key program of Herschel. We determine the temperature of the forsterite grains by fitting the 69 {mu}m band.
Forsterite is one of the crystalline dust species that is often observed in protoplanetary disks and solar system comets. Being absent in the interstellar medium, it must be produced during the disk lifetime. It can therefore serve as a tracer of dus
t processing and disk evolution, which can lead to a better understanding of the physical processes occurring in the disk, and possibly planet formation. However, the connection of these processes with the overall disk crystallinity remains unclear. We aim to characterize the forsterite abundance and spatial distribution in the disk of the Herbig Be star HD 100546, to investigate if a connection exists with the large disk gap. We use a 2D radiative transfer code, MCMax, to model the circumstellar dust around HD 100546. We use VISIR Q-band imaging to probe the outer disk geometry and mid-infrared features to model the spatial distribution of forsterite. The temperature-dependent shape of the 69 micron feature observed with Herschel PACS is used as a critical tool to constrain this distribution. We find a crystalline mass fraction of 40 - 60 %, located close to the disk wall between 13 and 20 AU, and possibly farther out at the disk surface. The forsterite is in thermal contact with the other dust species. We put an upper limit on the iron content of forsterite of 0.3 %. Optical depth effects play a key role in explaining the observed forsterite features, hiding warm forsterite from view at short wavelengths. The disk wall acts as a showcase: it displays a localized high abundance of forsterite, which gives rise to a high observed crystallinity, while the overall mass fraction of forsterite is a factor of ten lower.
Protoplanetary disks are dust- and gas-rich structures surrounding protostars. Depending on the distance from the protostar, this dust is thermally processed to different degrees and accreted to form bodies of varying chemical compositions. The primo
rdial accretion processes occurring in the early protoplanetary disk such as chondrule formation and metal segregation are not well understood. One way to constrain them is to study the morphology and composition of forsteritic grains from the matrix of carbonaceous chondrites. Here, we present high-resolution ptychographic X-ray nanotomography and multimodal chemical micro-tomography (X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence) to reveal the early history of forsteritic grains extracted from the matrix of the Murchison CM2.5 chondrite. The 3D electron density maps revealed, at unprecedented resolution (64~nm), spherical inclusions containing Fe-Ni, very little silica-rich glass and void caps (i.e., volumes where the electron density is consistent with conditions close to vacuum) trapped in forsterite. The presence of the voids along with the overall composition, petrological textures, and shrinkage calculations is consistent with the grains experiencing one or more heating events with peak temperatures close to the melting point of forsterite ($sim$2100~K) and subsequently cooled and contracted, in agreement with chondrule-forming conditions.
