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…

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…

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…

Volume density structure of the NGC253 CMZ through ALCHEMI excitation analysis

Kunihiko Tanaka, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Serena Viti +21

We present a spatially-resolved excitation analysis for the central molecular zone (CMZ) of the starburst galaxy NGC 253 using the data from the ALMA Large program ALCHEMI, whereby…

The first ground-based detection of the 752 GHz water line in local ultra-luminous infrared galaxies using APEX-SEPIA

Daysi Quinatoa, Chentao Yang, Edo Ibar +10

We report the first ground-based detection of the water line p-H2O (211-202) at 752.033 GHz in three z < 0.08 ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs): IRAS 06035-7102, IRAS 17207…

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…

Sub-arcsecond imaging of the water emission in Arp 220

S. König, S. Martín, S. Muller +14

Extragalactic observations of water emission can provide valuable insights into the excitation of the interstellar medium. In addition, extragalactic megamasers are powerful probes…

3 mm spectral line survey of two lines of sight toward two typical cloud complexes in the Galactic Center

J. Armijos-Abendaño, J. Martín-Pintado, M. A. Requena-Torres +2

We present the results of two Mopra 3-mm spectral line surveys of the Lines of Sight (LOS) toward the Galactic Center (GC) molecular complexes Sgr B2 (LOS+0.693) and Sgr A (LOS-0.1…

Surviving the hole I: Spatially resolved chemistry around Sgr A*

S. Martín, J. Martín-Pintado, M. Montero-Castaño +2

The interstellar region within the few central parsecs around the super-massive black hole, Sgr A* at the very Galactic center is composed by a number of overlapping molecular stru…
