Seeds Of Life In Space (SOLIS): The organic composition diversity at 300--1000 au scale in Solar-type star forming regions
C. Ceccarelli, P. Caselli, F. Fontani +43
Complex organic molecules have been observed for decades in the interstellar medium. Some of them might be considered as small bricks of the macromolecules at the base of terrestri…
The Green Bank Ammonia Survey: Observations of Hierarchical Dense Gas Structures in Cepheus-L1251
Jared Keown, James Di Francesco, Helen Kirk +20
We use Green Bank Ammonia Survey observations of NH (1,1) and (2,2) emission with 32'' FWHM resolution from a ~ 10 pc portion of the Cepheus-L1251 molecular cloud to iden…
The Green Bank Ammonia Survey: Dense Cores Under Pressure in Orion A
Helen Kirk, Rachel K. Friesen, Jaime E. Pineda +21
We use gas temperature and velocity dispersion data from the Green Bank Ammonia Survey and core masses and sizes from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Gould Belt Survey to estimat…
Seeds of Life in Space (SOLIS) III. Formamide in protostellar shocks: evidence for gas-phase formation
C. Codella, C. Ceccarelli, P. Caselli +47
Context: Modern versions of the Miller-Urey experiment claim that formamide (NHCHO) could be the starting point for the formation of metabolic and genetic macromolecules. Intri…
SOLIS II. Carbon-chain growth in the Solar-type protocluster OMC2-FIR4
F. Fontani, C. Ceccarelli, C. Favre +42
The interstellar delivery of carbon atoms locked into molecules might be one of the key ingredients for the emergence of life. Cyanopolyynes are carbon chains delimited at their tw…
The Green Bank Ammonia Survey (GAS): First Results of NH3 mapping the Gould Belt
Rachel K. Friesen, Jaime E. Pineda, Erik Rosolowsky +21
We present an overview of the first data release (DR1) and first-look science from the Green Bank Ammonia Survey (GAS). GAS is a Large Program at the Green Bank Telescope to map al…
