Extensive ro-vibrational analysis of deuterated-cyanoacetylene (DCN) from millimeter-wavelengths to the infrared domain
M. Melosso, L. Bizzocchi, A. Adamczyk +12
Cyanoacetylene, the simplest cyanopolyyne, is an abundant interstellar molecule commonly observed in a vast variety of astronomical sources. Despite its importance as a potential t…
First detection of NHD and ND in the interstellar medium
M. Melosso, L. Bizzocchi, O. Sipilä +7
Deuterium fractionation processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) have been shown to be highly efficient in the family of nitrogen hydrides. To date, observations were limited to…
Far-infrared laboratory spectroscopy of aminoacetonitrile and first interstellar detection of its vibrationally excited transitions
M. Melosso, A. Belloche, M. -A. Martin-Drumel +8
Aminoacetonitrile, a molecule detected in the interstellar medium only towards the star-forming region Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2) thus far, is considered an important prebiotic specie…
High-resolution millimeter-wave spectroscopy of CHDCl: paving the way for future astronomical observations of chloromethane isotopologues
M. Melosso, A. Achilli, F. Tamassia +4
Chloromethane is the only organochloride detected in space to date. Its recent observation towards the low-mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422 with ALMA offers a prompt for new laborato…
DCN observations towards high-mass star-forming regions
V. M. Rivilla, L. Colzi, F. Fontani +5
We present the study of deuteration of cyanoacetylene (HCN) towards a sample of 28 high-mass star-forming cores divided into different evolutionary stages, from starless to evo…
Submillimetre and far-infrared spectroscopy of monodeuterated amidogen radical (NHD): improved rest-frequencies for astrophysical observations
Luca Bizzocchi, Mattia Melosso, Barbara Michela Giuliano +6
Observations of ammonia in interstellar environments have revealed high levels of deuteration, and all its D-containing variants, including ND, have been detected in cold prest…
