Molecular tracers of radiative feedback in Orion (OMC-1). Widespread CH+ (J=1-0), CO (10-9), HCN (6-5), and HCO+ (6-5) emission
Javier R. Goicoechea, Miriam G. Santa-Maria, Emeric Bron +4
Young massive stars regulate the physical conditions, ionization, and fate of their natal molecular cloud. It is important to find tracers that help quantifying the stellar feedbac…
Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS) I. The prototypical dark cloud TMC 1
A. Fuente, D. Navarro, P. Caselli +30
GEMS is an IRAM 30m Large Program whose aim is determining the elemental depletions and the ionization fraction in a set of prototypical star-forming regions. This paper presents t…
Discovery of interstellar isocyanogen (CNCN): further evidence that dicyanopolyynes are abundant in space
M. Agundez, N. Marcelino, J. Cernicharo
It is thought that dicyanopolyynes could be potentially abundant interstellar molecules, although their lack of dipole moment makes it impossible to detect them through radioastron…
Discovery of the elusive radical NCO and confirmation of H2NCO+ in space
N. Marcelino, M. Agundez, J. Cernicharo +2
The isocyanate radical (NCO) is the simplest molecule containing the backbone of the peptide bond, C(=O)-N. This bond has a prebiotic interest since is the one linking two amino ac…
Astrochemical evolution along star formation: Overview of the IRAM Large Program ASAI
B. Lefloch, R. Bachiller, C. Ceccarelli +27
Evidence is mounting that the small bodies of our Solar System, such as comets and asteroids, have at least partially inherited their chemical composition from the first phases of…
Detection of interstellar HCS and its metastable isomer HSC: new pieces in the puzzle of sulfur chemistry
M. Agundez, N. Marcelino, J. Cernicharo +1
We present the first identification in interstellar space of the thioformyl radical (HCS) and its metastable isomer HSC. These species were detected toward the molecular cloud L483…
