The science case and challenges of space-borne sub-millimeter interferometry
Leonid I. Gurvits, Zsolt Paragi, Ricardo I. Amils +51
Ultra-high angular resolution in astronomy has always been an important vehicle for making fundamental discoveries. Recent results in direct imaging of the vicinity of the supermas…
Precursors of the RNA-world in space: Detection of ()-1,2-ethenediol in the interstellar medium, a key intermediate in sugar formation
Víctor M. Rivilla, Laura Colzi, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +20
We present the first detection of ()-1,2-ethenediol, (CHOH), the enol form of glycolaldehyde, in the interstellar medium towards the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud located in…
Probing the chemical complexity of amines in the ISM: detection of vinylamine (CHNH) and tentative detection of ethylamine (CHNH)
Shaoshan Zeng, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Víctor M. Rivilla +8
Amines, in particular primary amines (R-NH) are closely related to the primordial synthesis of amino acids since they share the same structural backbone. However, only limited…
First detection of CHNCO in the ISM and search of other isocyanates towards the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud
L. F. Rodríguez Almeida, V. M. Rivilla, I. Jiménez-Serra +9
Little is known about the chemistry of isocyanates (compounds with the functional group R-N=C=O) in the interstellar medium, as only four of them have been detected so far: isocyan…
Discovery of benzyne, o-C6H4, in TMC-1 with the QUIJOTE line survey
J. Cernicharo, M. Agundez, R. I. Kaiser +5
We report the detection, for the first time in space, of a new non-functionalised hydrocarbon cycle in the direction of TMC-1: o-C6H4 (ortho-benzyne). We derive a column density fo…
Magnesium radicals MgCN and MgCH in IRC+10216
J. R. Pardo, C. Cabezas, J. P. Fonfría +5
After the previous discovery of MgCN and MgCH in IRC+10216, a deeper Q-band (31.0-50.3 GHz) integration on this source had revealed two additional series of harmonically re…
