Infrared Spectra of Solid-State Ethanolamine: Laboratory Data in Support of JWST Observations

T. Suhasaria, S. M. Wee, R. Basalgète +4

Ethanolamine (NHCHCHOH, EA) has been identified in the gas phase of the ISM within molecular clouds. Although EA has not been directly observed in the molecular ice pha…

JOYS+: link between ice and gas of complex organic molecules. Comparing JWST and ALMA data of two low-mass protostars

Y. Chen, W. R. M. Rocha, E. F. van Dishoeck +16

A rich inventory of complex organic molecules (COMs) has been observed in high abundances in the gas phase toward Class 0 protostars. These molecules are suggested to be formed in…

Linking ice and gas in the Lambda Orionis Barnard 35A cloud

G. Perotti, J. K. Jørgensen, H. J. Fraser +5

Dust grains play an important role in the synthesis of molecules in the interstellar medium, from the simplest species to complex organic molecules. How some of these solid-state m…
