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…
Tracing Interstellar Heating: An ALCHEMI Measurement of the HCN Isomers in NGC 253
Erica Behrens, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Jonathan Holdship +17
We analyze HCN and HNC emission in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 to investigate its effectiveness in tracing heating processes associated with star formation. This study uses…
ALCHEMI finds a "shocking" carbon footprint in the starburst galaxy NGC~253
Nanase Harada, Sergio Martin, Jeff Mangum +15
Centers of starburst galaxies may be characterized by a specific gas and ice chemistry due to their gas dynamics and the presence of various ice desorption mechanisms. This may res…
Molecular precursors of the RNA-world in space: new nitriles in the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud
Víctor M. Rivilla, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Jesus Martín-Pintado +10
Nitriles play a key role as molecular precursors in prebiotic experiments based on the RNA-world scenario for the origin of life. These chemical compounds could have been partially…
CHEMOUT: CHEMical complexity in star-forming regions of the OUTer Galaxy. II. Methanol formation at low metallicity
F. Fontani, A. Schmiedeke, A. Sanchez-Monge +8
The outer Galaxy is an environment with metallicity lower than the Solar one and, because of this, the formation and survival of molecules in star-forming regions located in the in…
Energizing Star Formation: The Cosmic Ray Ionization Rate in NGC 253 Derived From ALCHEMI Measurements of HO and SO
Jonathan Holdship, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Serena Viti +16
The cosmic ray ionization rate (CRIR) is a key parameter in understanding the physical and chemical processes in the interstellar medium. Cosmic rays are a significant source of en…
