Deuterium fractionation as a multi-phase component tracer in the Galactic Centre
L. Colzi, J. Martín-Pintado, V. M. Rivilla +6
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) contains most of the mass of our Galaxy but its star formation rate is one order of magnitude lower than in the Galactic disc. This is likely relat…
Probing the chemical complexity of amines in the ISM: detection of vinylamine (CHNH) and tentative detection of ethylamine (CHNH)
Shaoshan Zeng, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Víctor M. Rivilla +8
Amines, in particular primary amines (R-NH) are closely related to the primordial synthesis of amino acids since they share the same structural backbone. However, only limited…
First detection of CHNCO in the ISM and search of other isocyanates towards the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud
L. F. Rodríguez Almeida, V. M. Rivilla, I. Jiménez-Serra +9
Little is known about the chemistry of isocyanates (compounds with the functional group R-N=C=O) in the interstellar medium, as only four of them have been detected so far: isocyan…
Detection of the cyanomidyl radical (HNCN): a new interstellar species with the NCN backbone
V. M. Rivilla, I. Jiménez-Serra, J. García de la Concepción +9
We report here the first detection in the interstellar medium of the cyanomidyl radical (HNCN). Using the Yebes 40m and the IRAM 30m telescopes, we have targeted the doublets of th…
Discovery in space of ethanolamine, the simplest phospholipid head group
Víctor M. Rivilla, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Jesús Martín-Pintado +9
Cell membranes are a key element of life because they keep the genetic material and metabolic machinery together. All present cell membranes are made of phospholipids, yet the natu…
Thiols in the ISM: first detection of HC(O)SH and confirmation of CHSH
Lucas F. Rodríguez-Almeida, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Víctor M. Rivilla +8
The chemical compounds carrying the thiol group (-SH) have been considered essential in recent prebiotic studies regarding the polymerization of amino acids. We have searched for t…
