The environments forming stellar and planetary systems
Michael Kuffmeier, Jaime E. Pineda, Peter Schilke +29
How does a star's birth environment set the mass, angular momentum and chemical complexity delivered to its planet-forming disk, and thereby whether it builds planets, brown dwarfs…
Chemical Demographics of Star-forming Regions
Maria N. Drozdovskaya, Timea Csengeri, Maria Teresa Beltrán +35
Our understanding of complex organic chemistry during the formation of stars and planets is shaped by a handful of cherry-picked sources with bright molecular emission lines. This…
Chemistry on solar system scales
Catherine Walsh, Maria Drozdovskaya, Dmitry Semenov +33
The initial chemical composition of planets, primitive bodies in our solar system, and exoplanets is ultimately set by their nascent protoplanetary disks. Yet observing key carbon-…
Star Formation across the Galaxy
Alvaro Sanchez-Monge, Henrik Beuther, Maryvonne Gerin +41
Star formation is both a multi-scale and highly dynamic process. It is regulated by the combination of gravity, turbulence, feedback and magnetic fields, which connect more than si…
Frontiers of chemical complexity in the interstellar medium: unveiling the cosmic origins of life
Víctor M. Rivilla, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Maite Beltrán +33
The interstellar medium (ISM) contains a rich molecular inventory that provides a unique window into the chemistry operating during star and planet formation and its connection to…
From local chemistry to galactic evolution: unlocking the power of interstellar isotopes with ALMA2040
Laura Colzi, Hayley A. Bunn, Víctor M. Rivilla +29
Molecular isotopic ratios provide a unique window into the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium, linking stellar nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution to the phy…
Molecular atlas of nearby galaxies through sensitive high-resolution multi-band molecular line surveys
Mathilde Bouvier, Erica Behrens, Laura Colzi +21
Star formation and associated feedback processes play a key role in galaxy evolution. Astrochemistry is a powerful tool for characterising the physical conditions of dense star-for…
Tracking the flow of interstellar gas across scales: from galaxies to star clusters
Ana Duarte-Cabral, Maxime Valeille-Manet, Mathilde Bouvier +30
While the baryon cycle of the interstellar medium - and its ability to form stars - plays a key role in galaxy evolution, unravelling the physical processes driving its evolution r…
Unveiling star formation at sub-solar metallicity with ALMA2040
Francesco Fontani, Frédérique Motte, Maria T. Beltrán +9
A fundamental question in astrophysics is whether the processes governing star formation are universal or depend on the physical conditions of their local galactic environment. The…
Thioacetaldehyde (CH3CHS) on interstellar ices: a key molecule to unravel two chemical dichotomies in the ISM
María Mallo, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Marcelino Agúndez +6
Thioacetaldehyde (CH3CHS), recently detected in TMC-1, has an abundance approximately 36 times lower than its oxygen analog, acetaldehyde (CH3CHO). This makes the CH3CHS/CH3CHO pai…
ACES VIII: A Survey of Compact, High-Velocity Features Observed in CS(2-1)
Dani R. Lipman, Jakub Poznanski, Savannah R. Gramze +46
The extreme kinematics of the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) are influenced by processes such as dynamical shearing, cloud collisions, and stellar feedback. These events…
ACES VII. Compact Continuum Source Catalog of the Central Molecular Zone
Jennifer Wallace, Cara Battersby, Nazar Budaiev +58
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) resides in the inner few hundred parsecs of our Galaxy, and despite being the largest reservoir of dense molecular gas in the Milky Way, it has a r…
Phosphorus abundances and multi-element co-enrichment in nearby FGK stars
Dario Esposito, Giovanni Covone, Donato Giovannelli +9
The distribution of bio-essential elements is key to assessing the chemical fertility of galactic environments. We analyse phosphorus abundances for 233 nearby FGK stars from the H…
Electron temperature and emission measure of HII regions in the central molecular zone (CMZ) from H40 αrecombination line and continuum emissions by ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey - ACES -
Yoshiaki Sofue, Steven N. Longmore, Daniel Walker +40
Star formation activity in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) directly manifests itself as radio continuum free-free emission (Bremsstrahlung) and radio recombination line emission f…
Chemistry here and there: Comparison between the CMZ of the Milky Way and NGC 253
Sergio Martín, Álvaro López-Gallifa, David San Andrés +2
For decades, chemical studies in external galaxies have been limited by sensitivity, resolution, bandwidth or a combination of them. A decade of ALMA operations, made the detailed…
Chemical modelling of interstellar MgS
M. Rey-Montejo, I. Jimenez-Serra, T. Millar +8
The detection of magnesium sulphide (MgS) and sodium sulphide (NaS) towards the Galactic Center molecular cloud G+0.693 constitutes the first detection of metal sulphides in the in…
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…
Interstellar stereoisomerism
Víctor M. Rivilla, Miguel Sanz-Novo, David San Andrés
The increasing detection of new molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM) shows that stereoisomerism is a fundamental contributor to interstellar molecular complexity. This work p…
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…
Vibrationally excited HC3N emission in NGC1068: Tracing the recent star formation in the starburst ring
Fernando Rico-Villas, Jesús Martín-Pintado, Eduardo González-Alfonso +5
Using ALMA data, we have studied the HCN and continuum emission in the starburst ring (SB ring) and the circumnuclear disc (CND) of the SB/AGN composite galaxy NGC 1068. We hav…
