Investigating Sulfur Chemistry in the HD 163296 disk
Rong Ma, Donghui Quan, Yan Zhou +6
Sulfur chemistry in the formation process of low-mass stars and planets remains poorly understood. The protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are the birthplace of planets and its distinctive…
A 3 mm line survey towards the circumstellar envelope of the carbon-rich AGB star IRC+10216 (CW Leo)
Juan Tuo, Xiaohu Li, Jixian Sun +14
We present an unbiased 3 mm spectral line survey (between 84.5 and 115.8 GHz), conducted by the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7 meter radio telescope, together with updated mo…
Chemical differences among collapsing low-mass protostellar cores
Jingfei Sun, Xiaohu Li, Fujun Du +3
Organic features lead to two distinct types of Class 0/I low-mass protostars: hot corino sources, and warm carbon-chain chemistry (WCCC) sources. Some observations suggest that the…
Photochemical origin of SiC in the circumstellar envelope of carbon-rich AGB stars revealed by ALMA
Yanan Feng, Xiaohu Li, Tom J. Millar +16
Whether SiC is a parent species, that is formed in the photosphere or as a by-product of high-temperature dust formation, or a daughter species, formed in a chemistry driven by…
