Structure and kinematics of shocked gas in Sgr B2: further evidence of a cloud-cloud collision from SiO emission maps
Jairo Armijos-Abendaño, Wladimir Banda-Barragán, Jesús Martín-Pintado +3
We present SiO J=2-1 maps of the Sgr B2 molecular cloud, which show shocked gas with a turbulent substructure comprising at least three cavities at velocities of [10,40] km s$^{-1}…
Imagery and UV Spectroscopy of the LMC Supernova Remnant N103B Using HST
William P. Blair, Parviz Ghavamian, John C. Raymond +6
We present HST/WFC3 multiband imagery of N103B, the remnant of a Type Ia supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud, as well as HST/COS ultraviolet spectroscopy of the brightest radia…
Prebiotic precursors of the primordial RNA world in space: Detection of NHOH
Víctor M. Rivilla, Jesús Martín-Pintado, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +6
One of the proposed scenarios for the origin of life is the primordial RNA world, which considers that RNA molecules were likely responsible for the storage of genetic information…
Propargylimine in the laboratory and in space: millimetre-wave spectroscopy and first detection in the ISM
Luca Bizzocchi, Domenico Prudenzano, Victor M. Rivilla +10
Small imines containing up to three carbon atoms are present in the interstellar medium. As alkynyl compounds are abundant in this medium, propargylimine thus represents a promisin…
The Diffuse Ultraviolet Background Close to the Galactic Plane
Jayant Murthy, R. C. Henry, James Overduin
We have used Voyager and Galex observations to map the diffuse Galactic light near the Galactic equator. We find that most of the observations are relatively faint with surface bri…
