FINER: development of the wideband millimeter-wave receiver system and preparations for first light on the Large Millimeter Telescope
Akio Taniguchi, Yoichi Tamura, Takeshi Sakai +38
The recent discovery of an excess of luminous galaxies in the early Universe necessitates sensitive and wideband millimeter spectroscopy to understand their rapid growth. To addres…
Digging into the Interior of Hot Cores with ALMA (DIHCA). VI. The Formation of Low-mass Multiple Systems in High-mass Cluster-forming Regions
Qiuyi Luo, Patricio Sanhueza, Stella S. R. Offner +14
Most stars form in multiple systems, with profound implications in numerous astronomical phenomena intrinsically linked to multiplicity. However, our knowledge about the process on…
A gas-phase "top-down" chemical link between aldehydes and alcohols
Christopher N. Shingledecker, Germán Molpeceres, A. Mackenzie Flowers +3
Alcohols and aldehydes represent two key classes of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs). This work seeks to better understand their possible chemical connections, with a…
The LMT 2 millimeter receiver system (B4R). II. Science demonstration observations toward Orion-KL/OMC-1
Teppei Yonetsu, Ryohei Kawabe, Yuki Yoshimura +26
We present the results of mapping and single-point spectral scans toward Orion-KL/OMC-1 performed as science demonstrations of a 2 mm SIS receiver, the Band 4 Receiver (B4R), insta…
The LMT 2 Millimeter Receiver System (B4R). I. Overview and Results of Science Demonstration
Ryohei Kawabe, Takeshi Sakai, Kunihiko Tanaka +30
We report on the results of the on-sky test and science demonstration conducted with the 2 mm receiver system, B4R, on the 50 m Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), located at an alti…
The SOMA MM Survey. I. An Astrochemical Census of Massive Protostars
D. Gigli, P. Gorai, C. Y. Law +9
During massive star formation, dense gas undergoes chemical evolution, producing both simple and complex organic molecules (COMs) characteristic of hot molecular cores. How this ev…
