ALMA and ROSINA detections of phosphorus-bearing molecules: the interstellar thread between star-forming regions and comets
V. M. Rivilla, M. N. Drozdovskaya, K. Altwegg +11
To understand how Phosphorus-bearing molecules are formed in star-forming regions, we have analysed ALMA observations of PN and PO towards the massive star-forming region AFGL 5142…
The Forgotten Quadrant Survey. CO and CO (1-0) survey of the Galactic Plane in the range 220°240° -2.5°0°
M. Benedettini, S. Molinari, A. Baldeschi +12
We present the Forgotten Quadrant Survey (FQS), an ESO large project that used the 12m antenna of the Arizona Radio Observatory to map the Galactic Plane in the range 220°240°…
The first steps of Interstellar Phosphorus Chemistry
Johanna Chantzos, Victor M. Rivilla, Anton Vasyunin +4
Phosphorus-bearing species are an essential key to form life on Earth, however they have barely been detected in the interstellar medium. Since only PN and PO have been identified…
VLA cm-wave survey of young stellar objects in the Oph A cluster: constraining extreme UV- and X-ray-driven disk photo-evaporation -- A pathfinder for Square Kilometre Array studies
A. Coutens, H. B. Liu, I. Jiménez-Serra +28
Observations of young stellar objects (YSOs) in centimeter bands can probe the continuum emission from growing dust grains, ionized winds, and magnetospheric activity, which are in…
Origin of the PN molecule in star-forming regions: the enlarged sample
F. Fontani, V. M. Rivilla, F. F. S. van der Tak +3
Phosphorus nitride (PN) is the P-bearing species with the highest number of detections in star-forming regions. Multi-line studies of the molecule have shown that the excitation te…
Interstellar Plunging Waves: ALMA resolves the physical structure of non-stationary MHD shocks
Giuliana Cosentino, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Paola Caselli +6
Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) shocks are violent events that inject large amounts of energy in the interstellar medium (ISM) dramatically modifying its physical properties and chemica…
