Influence of galactic arm scale dynamics on the molecular composition of the cold and dense ISM II. Molecular oxygen abundance
V. Wakelam, M. Ruaud, P. Gratier +1
Molecular oxygen has been the subject of many observational searches as chemical models predicted it to be a reservoir of oxygen. Although it has been detected in two regions of th…
New constraints on the initial parameters of low-mass star formation from chemical modeling
Thomas H. G. Vidal, Pierre Gratier, Neil Vaytet +2
The complexity of physico-chemical models of star formation is increasing, with models that take into account new processes and more realistic setups. These models allow astrochemi…
First detection of interstellar S2H
Asunción Fuente, Javier R. Goicoechea, Jerome Pety +11
We present the first detection of gas phase S2H in the Horsehead, a moderately UV-irradiated nebula. This confirms the presence of doubly sulfuretted species in the interstellar me…
Methyl isocyanate CH3NCO: An important missing organic in current astrochemical networks
Liton Majumdar, Jean-Christophe Loison, Maxime Ruaud +3
Methyl isocyanate (CH3NCO) is one of the important complex organic molecules detected on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by Rosetta's Philae lander. It was also detected in hot…
The interstellar chemistry of C3H and C3H2 isomers
Jean-Christophe Loison, Marcelino Agundez, Valentine Wakelam +6
We report the detection of linear and cyclic isomers of C3H and C3H2 towards various starless cores and review the corresponding chemical pathways involving neutral (C3Hx with x=1,…
A new study of the chemical structure of the Horsehead nebula: the influence of grain-surface chemistry
Romane Le Gal, Eric Herbst, Gwenaelle Dufour +4
A wide variety of molecules have recently been detected in the Horsehead nebula photodissociation region (PDR) suggesting that: (i) gas-phase and grain chemistries should both cont…
