Detection of a four-carbon sugar in interstellar space
Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Juan Garcia de la Concepcion, Herma M. Cuppen +19
Sugars are essential biomolecules, serving as metabolic fuels, nucleic acid backbone components, and structural or energy-storage polymers. A central question in origin-of-life res…
Expanding the CHO Isomeric Interstellar Inventory: Discovery of Lactaldehyde and Methoxyacetaldehyde in G+0.693-0.027
M. Sanz-Novo, V. M. Rivilla, I. Jiménez-Serra +17
The tentative detection of 3-hydroxypropanal (HO(CH)C(O)H) toward the Galactic center molecular cloud G+0.693-0.027 prompts a systematic survey in this source aimed at dete…
The Emergence of Prebiotic Chemistry in the ISM
Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Giuliana Cosentino, Francisco Montenegro-Montes +22
Contrary to popular belief, the interstellar medium (ISM) is not empty; it is filled with atoms, dust particles, and molecules. Some of these molecules may have been the very build…
Laboratory rotational spectroscopy and interstellar search for the protein precursor 4-oxobutanenitrile (HCOCHCHCN)
V. M. Rivilla, E. R. Alonso, W. Song +6
Understanding the presence and distribution of prebiotic precursors in the interstellar medium (ISM) is key to tracing the chemical origins of life. Among them, 4-oxobutanenitrile…
CAB: Towards the RNA-world in the interstellar medium -- detection of urea, and search of 2-amino-oxazole and simple sugars
Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Jesus Martin-Pintado, Victor M. Rivilla +8
In the past decade, Astrochemistry has witnessed an impressive increase in the number of detections of complex organic molecules. Some of these species are of prebiotic interest su…
