Chemical Complexity in the Early Stages of Star Formation in the SKAO Era
Eleonora Bianchi, Mathilde Bouvier, Claudio Codella +44
About 350 molecules have been identified in the interstellar medium (ISM), including complex molecules relevant to prebiotic chemistry. A remarkable level of molecular diversity ha…
A Tale of Two Sightlines: Comparison of Hydrocarbon Dust Absorption Bands toward Cygnus OB2-12 and the Galactic Center
Yvonne J. Pendleton, T. R. Geballe, Laurie E. U. Chu +14
Infrared spectra of hydrocarbon dust absorption bands toward the bright hypergiant Cygnus OB2-12 are compared to published spectra of the Quintuplet Cluster, a sightline to the Gal…
The edge-on disk Tau042021: icy grains at high altitudes and a wind containing astronomical PAHs
E. Dartois, J. A. Noble, M. K. McClure +9
Spectra of the nearly edge-on protoplanetary disks observed with the JWST have shown ice absorption bands of varying optical depths and peculiar profiles, challenging radiative tra…
Production of linear alkanes via the solid-state hydrogenation of interstellar polyynes
G. Fedoseev, X. Li, G. A. Baratta +2
Highly unsaturated carbon chains, including polyynes, have been detected in many astronomical regions and planetary systems. With the success of the QUIJOTE survey of the TMC-1, th…
Ice inventory towards the protostar Ced 110 IRS4 observed with the James Webb Space Telescope. Results from the ERS Ice Age program
W. R. M. Rocha, M. K. McClure, J. A. Sturm +37
This work focuses on the ice features toward the binary protostellar system Ced 110 IRS 4A and 4B, and observed with JWST as part of the Early Release Science Ice Age collaboration…
