Thiols in the ISM: first detection of HC(O)SH and confirmation of CHSH
Lucas F. Rodríguez-Almeida, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Víctor M. Rivilla +8
The chemical compounds carrying the thiol group (-SH) have been considered essential in recent prebiotic studies regarding the polymerization of amino acids. We have searched for t…
The origin of the E/Z isomer ratio of imines in the interstellar medium
Juan García de la Concepción, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, José Carlos Corchado +2
Recent astronomical observations of both isomers E and Z of imines such as cyanomethanimine, ethanimine and 2-propyn-1-imine, have revealed that the abundances in the ISM of these…
A proto-pseudobulge in ESO 320-G030 fed by a massive molecular inflow driven by a nuclear bar
Eduardo González-Alfonso, Miguel Pereira-Santaella, Jacqueline Fischer +10
Galaxies with nuclear bars are believed to efficiently drive gas inward, generating a nuclear starburst and possibly an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We confirm this scenario for…
Prebiotic precursors of the primordial RNA world in space: Detection of NHOH
Víctor M. Rivilla, Jesús Martín-Pintado, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +6
One of the proposed scenarios for the origin of life is the primordial RNA world, which considers that RNA molecules were likely responsible for the storage of genetic information…
Propargylimine in the laboratory and in space: millimetre-wave spectroscopy and first detection in the ISM
Luca Bizzocchi, Domenico Prudenzano, Victor M. Rivilla +10
Small imines containing up to three carbon atoms are present in the interstellar medium. As alkynyl compounds are abundant in this medium, propargylimine thus represents a promisin…
On the effects of UV photons/X-rays on the chemistry of the Sgr B2 cloud
J. Armijos-Abendaño, J. Martín-Pintado, E. López +7
The lines of HOC, HCO and CO are considered good tracers of photon-dominated regions (PDRs) and X-ray dominated regions. We study these tracers towards regions of the Sgr B…
