Hard X-ray irradiation of cosmic silicate analogs: structural evolution and astrophysical implications
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: Context. Protoplanetary disks, interstellar clouds, and active galactic nuclei contain X-ray-dominated regions. X-rays interact with the dust and gas present in such environments. While a few laboratory X-ray irradiation experiments have been performed on ices, X-ray irradiation experiments on bare cosmic dust analogs have been scarce up to now.
