Discovery of Interstellar 2-Cyanoindene (2-CHCN) in GOTHAM Observations of TMC-1
Madelyn L. Sita, P. Bryan Changala, Ci Xue +12
We present laboratory rotational spectroscopy of five isomers of cyanoindene (2-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-cyanoindene) using a cavity Fourier-transform microwave spectrometer operating b…
Machine Learning of Interstellar Chemical Inventories
Kin Long Kelvin Lee, Jacqueline Patterson, Andrew M. Burkhardt +3
The characterization of interstellar chemical inventories provides valuable insight into the chemical and physical processes in astrophysical sources. The discovery of new interste…
Discovery of the Pure Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Indene (-CH) with GOTHAM Observations of TMC-1
Andrew M. Burkhardt, Kin Long Kelvin Lee, P. Bryan Changala +8
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have long been invoked in the study of interstellar and protostellar sources, but the unambiguous identification of any individual PAH has p…
Detection of Interstellar HCCCHCN
C. N. Shingledecker, K. L. K. Lee, J. T. Wandishin +8
The chemical pathways linking the small organic molecules commonly observed in molecular clouds to the large, complex, polycyclic species long-suspected to be carriers of the ubiqu…
Detection of Two Interstellar Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons via Spectral Matched Filtering
Brett A. McGuire, Ryan A. Loomis, Andrew M. Burkhardt +12
Ubiquitous unidentified infrared emission bands are seen in many astronomical sources. Although these bands are widely, if not unanimously, attributed to the collective emission fr…
Aromatics and Cyclic Molecules in Molecular Clouds: A New Dimension of Interstellar Organic Chemistry
Michael C. McCarthy, Brett A. McGuire
Astrochemistry lies at the nexus of astronomy, chemistry, and molecular physics. On the basis of precise laboratory data, a rich collection of more than 200 familiar and exotic mol…
