Sensitivity Analysis of Aromatic Chemistry to Gas-Phase Kinetics in a Dark Molecular Cloud Model

Alex N. Byrne, Ci Xue, Troy Van Voorhis +1

The increasingly large number of complex organic molecules detected in the interstellar medium necessitates robust kinetic models that can be relied upon for investigating the invo…

Detections of interstellar 2-cyanopyrene and 4-cyanopyrene in TMC-1

Gabi Wenzel, Thomas H. Speak, P. Bryan Changala +19

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most ubiquitous compounds in the universe, accounting for up to ~25% of all interstellar carbon. Since most unsubstituted PAHs…

Discovery of interstellar 1-cyanopyrene: a four-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in TMC-1

Gabi Wenzel, Ilsa R. Cooke, P. Bryan Changala +22

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are expected to be the most abundant class of organic molecules in space. Their interstellar lifecycle is not well understood, and progress…

High Spectral Resolution Observations of Propynal (HCCCHO) towards TMC-1 from the GOTHAM Large Program on the Green Bank Telescope

Anthony J. Remijan, Zachary T. P. Fried, Ilsa R. Cooke +7

We used new high spectral resolution observations of propynal (HCCCHO) towards TMC-1 and in the laboratory to update the spectral line catalog available for transitions of HCCCHO -…

Maser Activity of Organic Molecules toward Sgr B2(N)

Ci Xue, Anthony Remijan, Alexandre Faure +5

At centimeter wavelengths, single-dish observations have suggested that the Sagittarius (Sgr) B2 molecular cloud at the Galactic Center hosts weak maser emission from several organ…
