Gas-phase formation routes of dimethyl sulfide in the interstellar medium

Gabriella Di Genova, Nadia Balucani, Luca Mancini +3

Context: Dimethyl sulfide (DMS; CHSCH) is an organosulfur compound that has been suggested as a potential biosignature in exoplanetary atmospheres. In addition to its tenta…

Revised gas-phase formation network of methyl cyanide: the origin of methyl cyanide and methanol abundance correlation in hot corinos

Lisa Giani, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Luca Mancini +4

Methyl cyanide (CHCN) is one of the most abundant and widely spread interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs). Several studies found that, in hot corinos, methyl cyanide a…

History of the solar-type protostar IRAS16293-2422 as told by the cyanopolyynes

A. A. Jaber, C. Ceccarelli, C. Kahane +9

Cyanopolyynes are chains of carbon atoms with an atom of hydrogen and a CN group on either side. They are detected almost everywhere in the ISM, as well as in comets. In the past,…
