Silicon monosulfide is an important silicon bearing molecule detected in circumstellar envelopes and star forming regions. Its formation and destruction routes are not well understood, partially due to the lack of a detailed knowledge on the involved reactions and their rate coefficients. In this work we have calculated and modeled the potential energy surface (PES) of the HSiS system employing highly accurate multireference electronic structure methods. After obtaining an accurate analytic representation of the PES, which includes long-range energy terms in a realistic way via the DMBE method, we have calculated rate coefficients for the Si+SH$rightarrow$SiS+H reaction over the temperature range of 25-1000K. This reaction is predicted to be fast, with a rate coefficient of $sim 1times 10^{-10}rm cm^3, s^{-1}$ at 200K, which substantially increases for lower temperatures (the temperature dependence can be described by a modified Arrhenius equation with $alpha=0.770times 10^{-10}rm cm^3,s^{-1}$, $beta=-0.756$ and $gamma=9.873, rm K$). An astrochemical gas-grain model of a shock region similar to L1157-B1 shows that the inclusion of the Si+SH reaction increases the SiS gas-phase abundance relative to ce{H2} from $5times 10^{-10}$ to $1.4times 10^{-8}$, which perfectly matches the observed abundance of $sim 2times 10^{-8}$.
The rate constants for the formation, destruction, and collisional excitation of SH$^+$ are calculated from quantum mechanical approaches using two new SH$_2^+$ potential energy surfaces (PESs) of $^4A$ and $^2A$ electronic symmetry. The PESs were de
We present experimental data on H2 formation processes on gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) cations. This process was studied by exposing coronene radical cations, confined in a radio-frequency ion trap, to gas phase H atoms. Sequential
Cyanogen (NCCN) is the simplest member of the dicyanopolyynes group, and has been proposed as a major source of the CN radical observed in cometary atmospheres. Although not detected through its rotational spectrum in the cold interstellar medium, th
Predictions of astrochemical models depend strongly on the reaction rate coefficients used in the simulations. We reviewed a number of key reactions for the chemistry of nitrogen-bearing species in the dense interstellar medium and proposed new react
[Abridged] Fullerenes have been recently detected in various circumstellar and interstellar environments, raising the question of their formation pathway. It has been proposed that they can form by the photo-chemical processing of large polycyclic ar
