Mechanisms of SiO oxidation: Implications for dust formation
Reactions of SiO molecules have been postulated to initiate efficient formation of silicate dust particles in outflows around dying (AGB) stars. Both OH radicals and H2O molecules can be present in these environments and their reactions with SiO and the smallest SiO cluster, Si2O2, affect the effici...
