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…

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…

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…

Comparative study of complex N- and O-bearing molecules in hot molecular cores

F. Fontani, I. Pascucci, P. Caselli +3

We have observed several emission lines of two Nitrogen-bearing (C2H5CN and C2H3CN) and two Oxygen-bearing (CH3OCH3 and HCOOCH3) molecules towards a sample of well-known hot molecu…
