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…

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.…

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…

The first detection of SiC in the interstellar medium

S. Massalkhi, I. Jiménez-Serra, J. Martín-Pintado +7

We report the first detection of SiC in the interstellar medium. The molecule was identified through six rotational transitions toward G\,+0.6930.027, a molecular cloud loca…

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…
