Chemistry here and there: Comparison between the CMZ of the Milky Way and NGC 253
Sergio Martín, Álvaro López-Gallifa, David San Andrés +2
For decades, chemical studies in external galaxies have been limited by sensitivity, resolution, bandwidth or a combination of them. A decade of ALMA operations, made the detailed…
Detection of a four-carbon sugar in interstellar space
Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Juan Garcia de la Concepcion, Herma M. Cuppen +19
Sugars are essential biomolecules, serving as metabolic fuels, nucleic acid backbone components, and structural or energy-storage polymers. A central question in origin-of-life res…
A detection of sulfur-bearing cyclic hydrocarbons in space
Mitsunori Araki, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Christian P. Endres +13
Molecules harbouring sulfur are thought to have played a key role in the biological processes of life on Earth, and thus, they are of much interest when found in space. Here we rep…
On the abiotic origin of dimethyl sulfide: discovery of DMS in the Interstellar Medium
Miguel Sanz-Novo, VÃctor M. Rivilla, Christian P. Endres +14
Following the discovery of dimethyl sulfide (CHSCH, DMS) signatures in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, we report the first detection of this organosulfur species in the in…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- XIX. The origin of SiO emission
Rong Liu, Tie Liu, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +23
The production of silicon monoxide (SiO) can be considered as a fingerprint of shock interaction. In this work, we use high-sensitivity observations of the SiO (2-1) and HCO…
