Complex organic molecules in protostellar environments in the SKA era
C. Codella, L. Podio, F. Fontani +10
Molecular complexity builds up at each step of the Sun-like star formation process, starting from simple molecules and ending up in large polyatomic species. Complex organic molecu…
Astrochemistry at work in the L1157-B1 shock: acetaldehyde formation
C. Codella, F. Fontani, C. Ceccarelli +5
The formation of complex organic molecules (COMs) in protostellar environments is a hotly debated topic. In particular, the relative importance of the gas phase processes as compar…
Deuteration and evolution in the massive star formation process: the role of surface chemistry
F. Fontani, G. Busquet, Aina Palau +5
An ever growing number of observational and theoretical evidence suggests that the deuterated fraction (column density ratio between a species containing D and its hydrogenated cou…
ATLASGAL-selected massive clumps in the inner Galaxy: I. CO depletion and isotopic ratios
A. Giannetti, F. Wyrowski, J. Brand +8
In the low-mass regime, it is found that the gas-phase abundances of C-bearing molecules in cold starless cores rapidly decrease with increasing density, as the molecules form mant…
A high resolution study of complex organic molecules in hot cores
Hannah Calcutt, Serena Viti, Claudio Codella +3
We present the results of a line identification analysis using data from the IRAM Plateau de Bure Inferferometer, focusing on six massive star-forming hot cores: G31.41+0.31, G29.9…
The dynamical properties of dense filaments in the infrared dark cloud G035.39-00.33
Jonathan D. Henshaw, Paola Caselli, Francesco Fontani +2
Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are unique laboratories to study the initial conditions of high-mass star and star cluster formation. We present high-sensitivity and high-angular reso…
