Multicomponent kinematics in a massive filamentary IRDC
Vlas Sokolov, Ke Wang, Jaime E. Pineda +6
To probe the initial conditions for high-mass star and cluster formation, we investigate the properties of dense filaments within the infrared dark cloud G035.39-00.33 (IRDC G035.3…
First ALMA maps of HCO, an important precursor of complex organic molecules, towards IRAS 16293-2422
V. M. Rivilla, M. T. Beltrán, A. Vasyunin +4
The formyl radical HCO has been proposed as the basic precursor of many complex organic molecules such as methanol (CHOH) or glycolaldehyde (CHOHCHO). Using ALMA, we have m…
Protonated CO2 in massive star-forming clumps
F. Fontani, A. Vagnoli, M. Padovani +3
Interstellar CO2 is an important reservoir of carbon and oxygen, and one of the major constituents of the icy mantles of dust grains, but it is not observable directly in the cold…
The first detections of the key prebiotic molecule PO in star-forming regions
Víctor M. Rivilla, Francesco Fontani, Maite Beltrán +4
Phosphorus is a crucial element in prebiotic chemistry, especially the PO bond, which is key for the formation of the backbone of the deoxyribonucleic acid. So far, PO had only…
First Detection of the Simplest Organic Acid in a Protoplanetary Disk
Cécile Favre, Davide Fedele, Dmitry Semenov +14
The formation of asteroids, comets and planets occurs in the interior of protoplanetary disks during the early phase of star formation. Consequently, the chemical composition of th…
SOLIS IV. Hydrocarbons in the OMC-2 FIR 4 region, a probe of energetic particle irradiation of the region
C. Favre, C. Ceccarelli, A. López-Sepulcre +16
We report new interferometric images of cyclopropenylidene, c-CH, towards the young protocluster OMC-2 FIR\,4. The observations were performed at 82 and 85 GHz with the NOr…
