The Missing Giant: Do FAST Spectroscopic Observations Reveal a Scarcity of Large Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Astronomical Environments?

Yi Shao, Yong Zhang, Xu-Jia Ouyang +1

The search for large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with over 100 carbon atoms is crucial to resolving the origin of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands. These band…

FAST search for circumstellar atomic hydrogen. III. Planetary nebulae at Galactic latitudes |b|>10degree

Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Albert Zijlstra +4

The detection of circumstellar atomic hydrogen (\ion{H}{1}) via the 21\,cm line remains a persistent challenge in planetary nebula (PN) studies, primarily due to contamination from…

A molecule-rich torus-like structure in the 21 m source IRAS 23304+6147

Hao-Min Sun, Yong Zhang, Xu-Jia Ouyang +4

A long-standing enigma in observational astronomy is the identification of the so-called 21 m feature in a subset of envelopes of post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars.…

FAST detection of OH emission in the carbon-rich planetary nebula NGC 7027

Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Chuan-Peng Zhang +8

We present the first detection of the ground-state OH emission line at 1612 MHz toward the prototypical carbon-rich planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7027, utilizing the newly installed ul…

Distribution Properties of the 6.7 GHz Methanol Masers and Their Surrounding Gases in the Milky Way

Tian Yang, Xi Chen, Yan-Kun Zhang +4

An updated catalog consisting of 1092 6.7-GHz methanol maser sources was reported in this work. Additionally, the NH3 (1, 1), NH3 (2, 2), and NH3 (3, 3) transitions were observed t…
