The GUAPOS project: G31.41+0.31 Unbiased ALMA sPectral Observational Survey. IV. Phosphorus-bearing molecules and their relation with shock tracers

F. Fontani, C. Mininni, M. T. Beltrán +6

The astrochemistry of the important biogenic element phosphorus (P) is still poorly understood, but observational evidence indicates that P-bearing molecules are likely associated…

Volume density structure of the NGC253 CMZ through ALCHEMI excitation analysis

Kunihiko Tanaka, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Serena Viti +21

We present a spatially-resolved excitation analysis for the central molecular zone (CMZ) of the starburst galaxy NGC 253 using the data from the ALMA Large program ALCHEMI, whereby…

CHEMOUT: CHEMical complexity in star-forming regions of the OUTer Galaxy III. Nitrogen isotopic ratios in the outer Galaxy

L. Colzi, D. Romano, F. Fontani +6

Nitrogen isotopic ratios are a key tool for tracing Galactic stellar nucleosynthesis. We present the first study of the N/N abundance ratio in the outer regions of th…

Precursors of the RNA-world in space: Detection of ()-1,2-ethenediol in the interstellar medium, a key intermediate in sugar formation

Víctor M. Rivilla, Laura Colzi, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +20

We present the first detection of ()-1,2-ethenediol, (CHOH), the enol form of glycolaldehyde, in the interstellar medium towards the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud located in…

CHEMOUT: CHEMical complexity in star-forming regions of the OUTer Galaxy. I. Organic molecules and tracers of star-formation activity

F. Fontani, L. Colzi, L. Bizzocchi +8

The outer Galaxy is an environment with metallicity lower than the Solar one. Because of this, the formation and survival of molecules in star-forming regions located in the inner…

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…
