Observations of DNC and DCO toward the -shaped Filament and Starless Cores in the Orion Molecular Clouds
Ken'ichi Tatematsu, Atsushi Nishimura, Hideo Ogawa +25
Although the deuterium fraction is known to be a powerful evolutionary tracer, its variation within individual molecular cloud cores is still poorly understood. The northern …
Q/W-band Observations toward Starless Cores in Orion (QWOSCO) I. Overview, Isotopologues, Isomers, and Complex Organics
Shih-Ying Hsu, Xunchuan Liu, Sheng-Yuan Liu +12
Molecular inventories in starless cores are powerful tools for probing the physical and chemical structures at the earliest stages of star formation. Wide-band spectral scans are i…
Unveiling Central ortho-H2D+ Depletion at Sub-kau Scales in Prestellar Core G205.46-14.56M3: The First Interferometric Evidence and Implications for Deuterium Chemistry
Sheng-Jun Lin, Sheng-Yuan Liu, Dipen Sahu +8
Prestellar cores represent the initial conditions of star formation, but heavy molecules such as CO are strongly depleted in their cold, dense interiors, limiting the ability to pr…
Ubiquity of Methanol and its related Chemical Segregation in Orion Starless Cores: the ALMASOP Sample
Shih-Ying Hsu, Sheng-Yuan Liu, Xunchuan Liu +8
Complex organic molecules (COMs) in starless cores provide critical insights into the early stages of star formation and prebiotic chemistry. We present a chemical survey of 16 sta…
ALMASOP: Inner-Envelope Structures of Protostars Driving Nascent Jets
Somnath Dutta, Chin-Fei Lee, Naomi Hirano +15
Protostellar jets provide valuable insight into the evolutionary stage and formation history of star-forming cores in their earliest phases. We investigated the inner envelope stru…
ALMASOP. A Rotating Feature Rich in Complex Organic Molecules in a Protostellar Core
Shih-Ying Hsu, Chin-Fei Lee, Doug Johnstone +25
Interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) in solar-like young stellar objects (YSOs), particularly within protostellar disks, are of significant interest due to their potential…
