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 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…
