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…
Physical properties and chemical composition of the cores in the California molecular cloud
Guo-Yin Zhang, Jin-Long Xu, A. I. Vasyunin +13
We aim to reveal the physical properties and chemical composition of the cores in the California molecular cloud (CMC), so as to better understand the initial conditions of star fo…
Mapping deuterated methanol toward L1544: I. Deuterium fraction and comparison with modeling
A. Chacon-Tanarro, P. Caselli, L. Bizzocchi +7
The study of deuteration in pre-stellar cores is important to understand the physical and chemical initial conditions in the process of star formation. In particular, observations…
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…
Compact dusty clouds and efficient H formation in diffuse ISM
A. V. Ivlev, A. Burkert, A. Vasyunin +1
The formation of compact dusty clouds in diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) has been recently proposed and studied by Tsytovich et al. (2014). In the present paper, an effect of the…
Seeds of Life in Space (SOLIS). III. Zooming into the methanol peak of the pre-stellar core L1544
Anna Punanova, Paola Caselli, Siyi Feng +41
Towards the pre-stellar core L1544, the methanol (CHOH) emission forms an asymmetric ring around the core centre, where CHOH is mostly in solid form, with a clear peak 4000…
