On the chemical ladder of esters. Detection and formation of ethyl formate in the W51 e2 hot molecular core
V. M. Rivilla, M. T. Beltrán, J. Martín-Pintado +3
The detection of organic molecules with increasing complexity and potential biological relevance is opening the possibility to understand the formation of the building blocks of li…
Weak and Compact Radio Emission in Early High-Mass Star Forming Regions: I. VLA Observations
V. Rosero, P. Hofner, M. Claussen +9
We present a high sensitivity radio continuum survey at 6 and 1.3cm using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array towards a sample of 58 high-mass star forming regions. Our sample…
Magnetically-regulated fragmentation of a massive, dense and turbulent clump
F. Fontani, B. Commerçon, A. Giannetti +11
Massive stars, multiple stellar systems and clusters are born from the gravitational collapse of massive dense gaseous clumps, and the way these systems form strongly depends on ho…
The formation of ethylene glycol and other complex organic molecules in star-forming regions
V. M. Rivilla, M. T. Beltrán, R. Cesaroni +3
We study the molecular abundance and spatial distribution of the simplest sugar alcohol, ethylene glycol (EG), the simplest sugar glycoladehyde (GA), and other chemically related c…
Binary system and jet precession and expansion in G35.20-0.74N
M. T. Beltrán, R. Cesaroni, L. Moscadelli +3
Context. ALMA observations of the high-mass star-forming region G35.20-0.74N have revealed the presence of a Keplerian disk in core B rotating about a massive object of 18 Msun, as…
First detections of the key prebiotic molecule PO in star-forming regions
V. M. Rivilla, F. Fontani, M. T. Beltrán +4
Phosphorus is a crucial element in biochemistry, especially the P-O bond, which is key for the formation of the backbone of the deoxyribonucleic acid. So far, PO has only been dete…
