The emergence of interstellar molecular complexity explained by interacting networks
Miguel Garcia-Sanchez, Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Fernando Puente-Sanchez +1
Recent years have witnessed the detection of an increasing number of complex organic molecules in interstellar space, some of them being of prebiotic interest. Disentangling the or…
Hot methanol in the [BHB2007] 11 protobinary system: hot corino versus shock origin? : FAUST V
C. Vastel, F. Alves, C. Ceccarelli +63
Methanol is a ubiquitous species commonly found in the molecular interstellar medium. It is also a crucial seed species for the building-up of the chemical complexity in star formi…
Chemical and Physical Characterization of the Isolated Protostellar Source CB68: FAUST. IV
Muneaki Imai, Yoko Oya, Brian Svoboda +1
Chemical diversity of low-mass protostellar sources has so far been recognized, and environmental effects are invoked as its origin. In this context, observations of isolated proto…
Molecular precursors of the RNA-world in space: new nitriles in the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud
Víctor M. Rivilla, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Jesus Martín-Pintado +10
Nitriles play a key role as molecular precursors in prebiotic experiments based on the RNA-world scenario for the origin of life. These chemical compounds could have been partially…
Precursors of the RNA-world in space: Detection of ()-1,2-ethenediol in the interstellar medium, a key intermediate in sugar formation
Víctor M. Rivilla, Laura Colzi, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +20
We present the first detection of ()-1,2-ethenediol, (CHOH), the enol form of glycolaldehyde, in the interstellar medium towards the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud located in…
Toward the limits of complexity of interstellar chemistry: Rotational spectroscopy and astronomical search for n- and i-butanal
M. Sanz-Novo, A. Belloche, V. M. Rivilla +11
In recent times, large organic molecules of exceptional complexity have been found in diverse regions of the interstellar medium. In this context, we aim to provide accurate freque…
