A Model for the Onset of Self-gravitation and Star Formation in Molecular Gas Governed by Galactic Forces: I. Cloud-scale Gas Motions

Sharon E. Meidt, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +10

Modern extragalactic molecular gas surveys now reach the scales of star-forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs, 20-50 pc). Systematic variations in GMC properties with galaxy environ…

Nitrogen oxide in protostellar envelopes and shocks: the ASAI survey

C. Codella, S. Viti, B. Lefloch +8

The high-sensitivity of the IRAM 30-m ASAI unbiased spectral survey in the mm-window allows us to detect NO emission towards both the Class I object SVS13-A and the protostellar ou…

First detection of interstellar S2H

Asunción Fuente, Javier R. Goicoechea, Jerome Pety +11

We present the first detection of gas phase S2H in the Horsehead, a moderately UV-irradiated nebula. This confirms the presence of doubly sulfuretted species in the interstellar me…

Laboratory measurements and astronomical search for cyanomethanimine

Mattia Melosso, Alessio Melli, Cristina Puzzarini +9

C-cyanomethanimine (HNCHCN), existing in the two and isomeric forms, is a key prebiotic molecule, but, so far, only the isomer has been detected toward the massive star…

Far-infrared observations of a massive cluster forming in the Monoceros R2 filament hub

T. S. M. Rayner, M. J. Griffin, N. Schneider +29

We present far-infrared observations of Monoceros R2 (a giant molecular cloud at approximately 830 pc distance, containing several sites of active star formation), as observed at 7…

High spectral resolution observations of HNC3 and HCCNC in the L1544 prestellar core

C. Vastel, K. Kawaguchi, D. Quénard +4

HCCNC and HNC3 are less commonly found isomers of cyanoacetylene, HC3N, a molecule that is widely found in diverse astronomical sources. We want to know if HNC3 is present in sourc…
