Observations of DNC and DCO toward the -shaped Filament and Starless Cores in the Orion Molecular Clouds
Ken'ichi Tatematsu, Atsushi Nishimura, Hideo Ogawa +25
Although the deuterium fraction is known to be a powerful evolutionary tracer, its variation within individual molecular cloud cores is still poorly understood. The northern …
Q/W-band Observations toward Starless Cores in Orion (QWOSCO) I. Overview, Isotopologues, Isomers, and Complex Organics
Shih-Ying Hsu, Xunchuan Liu, Sheng-Yuan Liu +12
Molecular inventories in starless cores are powerful tools for probing the physical and chemical structures at the earliest stages of star formation. Wide-band spectral scans are i…
ALMASOP: Inner-Envelope Structures of Protostars Driving Nascent Jets
Somnath Dutta, Chin-Fei Lee, Naomi Hirano +15
Protostellar jets provide valuable insight into the evolutionary stage and formation history of star-forming cores in their earliest phases. We investigated the inner envelope stru…
Unveiling Central ortho-H2D+ Depletion at Sub-kau Scales in Prestellar Core G205.46-14.56M3: The First Interferometric Evidence and Implications for Deuterium Chemistry
Sheng-Jun Lin, Sheng-Yuan Liu, Dipen Sahu +8
Prestellar cores represent the initial conditions of star formation, but heavy molecules such as CO are strongly depleted in their cold, dense interiors, limiting the ability to pr…
ALMASOP. A Rotating Feature Rich in Complex Organic Molecules in a Protostellar Core
Shih-Ying Hsu, Chin-Fei Lee, Doug Johnstone +25
Interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) in solar-like young stellar objects (YSOs), particularly within protostellar disks, are of significant interest due to their potential…
