First detection of C2H+ in the interstellar medium
Arshia M. Jacob, Karl M. Menten, Sandra Brünken +10
Despite the detection of nearly 350 molecules in the interstellar medium, almost half of which are carbon chains, the pathways that build molecular complexity remain poorly underst…
Cosmic Rulers: Masers as Tools for Probing Structure in the Galaxy and Beyond, from AU to kpc
Kazi L. J. Rygl, Anna Bartkiewicz, Olga Bayandina +9
Maser emission provides an unique window into astronomical sources across vast spatial scales - from tens to hundreds of astronomical units around protostars and evolved stars up t…
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…
Spectroscopic surveys with the SKA probing the ionized and molecular Milky Way
A. Karska, J. R. Dawson, A. M. Jacob +12
Radio spectroscopic surveys provide us with a comprehensive picture of the Milky Way across many physical and chemical regimes. Spectral lines primarily probe the multi-phase gaseo…
Measuring Magnetic Field Strengths in Galactic Star-forming Regions via the Zeeman Effect with the SKA
Tyler L. Bourke, Tao-Chung Ching, Laura Fissel +14
Magnetic fields thread the interstellar medium from the largest to the smallest scales and play an important role in molecular cloud evolution and star formation. Quantifying this…
Molecular cloud dispersal traced by the ionized carbon 158 micron line
L. Bonne, N. Schneider, S. Dannhauer +14
Feedback from massive stars in the form of radiation and winds impacts the associated host molecular cloud. Feedback can disperse cloud material and lead to the destruction of the…
