Detection of the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Phenalene (CH) in the Very Low Luminosity Object (VeLLO) MC27/L1521F
Gabi Wenzel, Thomas H. Speak, Ci Xue +12
To date, 14 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ranging in size from two to seven (including five- and six-membered) carbon rings have been detected in the starless dense core…
The Molecular Inventory of TMC-1 with GOTHAM Observations
Ci Xue, Alex N. Byrne, Larry Morgan +14
Spectral line surveys of the Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 (TMC-1) have led to the detection of more than 100 new molecular species, making it the most prolific source of interstellar m…
Discovery of the 7-ring PAH Cyanocoronene (CHCN) in GOTHAM Observations of TMC-1
Gabi Wenzel, Siyuan Gong, Ci Xue +18
We present the synthesis and laboratory rotational spectroscopy of the 7-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) cyanocoronene (CHCN) using a laser-ablation assist…
The Missing Link of Sulfur Chemistry in TMC-1: The Detection of c-C3H2S from the GOTHAM Survey
Anthony J. Remijan, P. Bryan Changala, Ci Xue +13
We present the spectroscopic characterization of cyclopropenethione (c-C3H2S) in the laboratory and detect it in space using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) Observations of TMC-1: H…
