Machine Learning of Interstellar Chemical Inventories

Kin Long Kelvin Lee, Jacqueline Patterson, Andrew M. Burkhardt +3

The characterization of interstellar chemical inventories provides valuable insight into the chemical and physical processes in astrophysical sources. The discovery of new interste…

Detection of Two Interstellar Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons via Spectral Matched Filtering

Brett A. McGuire, Ryan A. Loomis, Andrew M. Burkhardt +12

Ubiquitous unidentified infrared emission bands are seen in many astronomical sources. Although these bands are widely, if not unanimously, attributed to the collective emission fr…

Rotational spectra of vibrationally excited AlO and TiO in oxygen rich stars

T. Danilovich, C. A. Gottlieb, L. Decin +6

Rotational transitions in vibrationally excited AlO and TiO -- two possible precursors of dust -- were observed in the 300 GHz range (1 mm wavelength) towards the oxygen rich AGB s…

Ubiquitous Aromatic Carbon Chemistry at the Earliest Stages of Star Formation

Andrew M. Burkhardt, Ryan A. Loomis, Christopher N. Shingledecker +4

Benzonitrile (-CHCN), a polar proxy for benzene (-CH}), has the potential to serve as a highly convenient radio probe for aromatic chemistry, provided this ri…

Interstellar Detection of the Highly Polar Five-Membered Ring Cyanocyclopentadiene

Michael C. McCarthy, Kin Long Kelvin Lee, Ryan A. Loomis +10

Much like six-membered rings, five-membered rings are ubiquitous in organic chemistry, frequently serving as the building blocks for larger molecules, including many of biochemical…

An Investigation of Spectral Line Stacking Techniques and Application to the Detection of HCN

Ryan A. Loomis, Andrew M. Burkhardt, Christopher N. Shingledecker +10

As the inventory of interstellar molecules continues to grow, the gulf between small species, whose individual rotational lines can be observed with radio telescopes, and large one…
