High-resolution mid-IR spectroscopy of SVS 13-A with EXES/SOFIA: The surprisingly high CHOH/HO ratio in the planet-forming zone of a solar mass protostar
Curtis DeWitt, Marta De Simone, Eleonora Bianchi +8
Water and methanol are key components of interstellar ices and gas in star- and planet-forming regions, but direct observations of water in low-mass protostars are challenging due…

The Discovery of 25 um Interstellar Methanol
Sarah L. Nickerson, Naseem Rangwala, Keeyoon Sung +15
We present the first astrophysical detection of methanol (CH3OH) in the torsional band near 25 um. Using high resolution mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, we identified over seventy…
