Precursors of fatty alcohols in the ISM: Discovery of n-propanol
Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Lucas F. Rodriguez-Almeida, Jesus Martin-Pintado +12
Theories on the origins of life propose that early cell membranes were synthesized from amphiphilic molecules simpler than phospholipids such as fatty alcohols. The discovery in th…
The trans/cis ratio of formic, HCOOH, and thioformic, HC(O)SH, acids in the Interstellar Medium
J. García de la Concepción, L. Colzi, I. Jiménez-Serra +6
We studied theoretically the cis-trans isomerization reactions of two astrophysically relevant acids, formic acid (HCOOH) and thioformic acid (HC(O)SH), where the latter has recent…
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…
First detection of the pre-biotic molecule glycolonitrile (HOCH2CN) in the interstellar medium
S. Zeng, D. Quénard, I. Jiménez-Serra +4
Theories of a pre-RNA world suggest that glycolonitrile (HOCHCN) is a key species in the process of ribonucleotide assembly, which is considered as a molecular precursor of nuc…
Feedback and feeding in the context of galaxy evolution with SPICA: direct characterization of molecular outflows and inflows
E. González-Alfonso, L. Armus, F. J. Carrera +28
A far-infrared observatory such as the {\it SPace Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics} ({\it SPICA}), with its unprecedented spectroscopic sensitivity, would unveil t…
