Missing flux in VLBI observations of SiO maser at 7mm in IRC+10011

J. -F. Desmurs, J. Alcolea, V. Bujarrabal +2

VLBI observations of SiO masers recover at most 40-50% of the total flux obtained by single dish observations at any spectral channel. Some previous studies seems to indicate that,…

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…
