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…
Descendant of the X-ogen carrier and a "mass of 69": Infrared action spectroscopic detection of HCO and HCS
S. Thorwirth, M. E. Harding, O. Asvany +6
The carbon chain ions HCO and HCS - longer variants of the famous "X-ogen" line carrier HCO - have been observed for the first time using two cryogenic 22-pole…
Molecule Identification with Rotational Spectroscopy and Probabilistic Deep Learning
Michael C. McCarthy, Kin Long Kelvin Lee
A proof-of-concept framework for identifying molecules of unknown elemental composition and structure using experimental rotational data and probabilistic deep learning is presente…
