Synthesis of organo-phosphorous species in space: the reaction of P with CH
Matteo Michielan, Jorge Alonso de la Fuente, Roland Thissen +8
Despite its low cosmic abundance, phosphorus is a bioessential element whose prebiotic availability and incorporation into biomolecules remain open questions. Only a few phosphorou…
Formation of adducts of CH with Na, Mg and Al metal cations by radiative association
Niyazi Bulut, Octavio Roncero, Maria Mallo +6
The Mg-bearing cations MgCH, MgCH, MgCN, and MgCN have been recently observed in the carbon-rich envelope IRC\,+10216. These species are thought to…
Thioacetaldehyde (CH3CHS) on interstellar ices: a key molecule to unravel two chemical dichotomies in the ISM
María Mallo, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Marcelino Agúndez +6
Thioacetaldehyde (CH3CHS), recently detected in TMC-1, has an abundance approximately 36 times lower than its oxygen analog, acetaldehyde (CH3CHO). This makes the CH3CHS/CH3CHO pai…
Collisional excitation of cyclopentadiene by helium. A complete set of rate coefficients and astrophysical applications
Sándor Demes, François Lique, Marcelino Agúndez +1
Complex organic molecules, including large cyclic species, are prevalent in interstellar space and play a key role in various astrochemical processes. Cyclopentadiene (c-C5H6) is a…
Dust Seeding Molecules in a Massive Protostar -- Detection of TiO in Orion Source I
Ziwei E. Zhang, Nami Sakai, Marcelino Agundez +16
We report the first detection of TiO in star-forming regions based on Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of Orion Source I, a well-characterized massive prot…
Laboratory spectroscopy, theoretical characterization, and astronomical search for syn-propenethial (CH2CHCHS)
Germán Molpeceres, Carlos Cabezas, Marcelino Agúndez +5
We report the laboratory characterization of the higher-energy isomer of propenethial, syn-CH2CHCHS. While the lower-energy isomer, anti-CH2CHCHS, was detected in the interstellar…
