Phosphorus-bearing molecules in the Galactic Center
V. M. Rivilla, I. Jiménez-Serra, S. Zeng +10
Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential elements for life due to its central role in biochemical processes. Recent searches have shown that P-bearing molecules (in particular PN and…
First measurement of the 14N/15N ratio in the analogue of the Sun progenitor OMC-2 FIR4
Claudine Kahane, Ali Jaber Al-Edhari, Cecilia Ceccarelli +3
We present a complete census of the 14N/15N isotopic ratio in the most abundant N-bearing molecules towards the cold envelope of the protocluster OMC-2 FIR4, the best known Sun pro…
Widespread SiO and CH3OH emission in Filamentary Infrared Dark Clouds
G. Cosentino, I. Jimenez-Serra, J. D. Henshaw +6
Infrared-Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense regions of high (optical and infrared) extinction, believed to be the birthplace of high-mass stars and stellar clusters. The physical…
Seeds Of Life In Space (SOLIS): The organic composition diversity at 300--1000 au scale in Solar-type star forming regions
C. Ceccarelli, P. Caselli, F. Fontani +43
Complex organic molecules have been observed for decades in the interstellar medium. Some of them might be considered as small bricks of the macromolecules at the base of terrestri…
Nitrogen and hydrogen fractionation in high-mass star forming cores from observations of HCN and HNC
L. Colzi, F. Fontani, P. Caselli +3
The ratio between the two stable isotopes of nitrogen, N and N, is well measured in the terrestrial atmosphere (), and in the pre-Solar nebula ().…
Seeds of Life in Space (SOLIS) III. Formamide in protostellar shocks: evidence for gas-phase formation
C. Codella, C. Ceccarelli, P. Caselli +47
Context: Modern versions of the Miller-Urey experiment claim that formamide (NHCHO) could be the starting point for the formation of metabolic and genetic macromolecules. Intri…
