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…
Aromatic rings in the Central Molecular Zone: Benzonitrile
V. M. Rivilla, D. San Andrés, M. Sanz-Novo +12
In recent years, several aromatic molecules (benzene-based rings) have been detected in the cold molecular cloud TMC-1, with its CN-derivative, benzonitrile (c-CHCN), also…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- XIX. The origin of SiO emission
Rong Liu, Tie Liu, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +23
The production of silicon monoxide (SiO) can be considered as a fingerprint of shock interaction. In this work, we use high-sensitivity observations of the SiO (2-1) and HCO…
Discovery of MgS and NaS in the Interstellar Medium and tentative detection of CaO
M. Rey-Montejo, I. Jimenez-Serra, J. Martin-Pintado +12
We report the first detection of the metal-bearing molecules sodium sulfide (NaS) and magnesium sulfide (MgS) and the tentative detection of calcium monoxide (CaO) in the interstel…
First detection in space of the high-energy isomer of cyanomethanimine: H2CNCN
David San Andrés, Víctor M. Rivilla, Laura Colzi +14
We report the first detection in the interstellar medium of -cyanomethanimine (HCNCN), the stable dimer of HCN of highest energy, and the most complex organic molecule ident…
Discovery of thionylimide, HNSO, in space: the first N-, S- and O-bearing interstellar molecule
Miguel Sanz-Novo, Víctor M. Rivilla, Holger S. P. Müller +12
We present the first detection in space of thionylimide (HNSO) toward the Galactic Center molecular cloud G+0.693-0.027, thanks to the superb sensitivity of an ultradeep molecular…
Interstellar detection of O-protonated carbonyl sulfide, HOCS+
Miguel Sanz-Novo, Víctor M. Rivilla, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +12
We present the first detection in space of O-protonated carbonyl sulfide (\ch{HOCS+}), in the midst of an ultradeep molecular line survey toward the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud.…
Modeling of the high-velocity jet powered by the massive star MWC 349A
Antonio Martínez-Henares, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Jesús Martín-Pintado +6
MWC 349A is a massive star with a well-known circumstellar disk rotating following a Keplerian law, and an ionized wind launched from the disk surface. Recent ALMA observations car…
First glycine isomer detected in the interstellar medium: glycolamide (NHC(O)CHOH)
Víctor M. Rivilla, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +13
We report the first detection in the interstellar medium of a CHON isomer: -glycolamide (NHC(O)CHOH). The exquisite sensitivity at sub-mK levels of an ultr…
Detection of a High-velocity Jet from MWC 349A Traced by Hydrogen Recombination Line Emission
Sirina Prasad, Qizhou Zhang, James Moran +5
MWC 349A is one of the rare stars known to have hydrogen radio recombination line (RRL) masers. The bright maser emission makes it possible to study the dynamics of the system at m…
Discovery of the elusive carbonic acid (HOCOOH) in space
Miguel Sanz-Novo, Víctor M. Rivilla, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +12
After a quarter century since the detection of the last interstellar carboxylic acid, acetic acid (CHCOOH), we report the discovery of a new one, the cis-trans form of carbonic…
Precursors of the RNA-world in space: Detection of ()-1,2-ethenediol in the interstellar medium, a key intermediate in sugar formation
Víctor M. Rivilla, Laura Colzi, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +20
We present the first detection of ()-1,2-ethenediol, (CHOH), the enol form of glycolaldehyde, in the interstellar medium towards the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud located in…
