Chemistry in the High expansion-velocity C-rich evolved star AFGL2233. Isotopic ratios, peculiarities and evolutionary status
G. Quintana-Lacaci, M. Agúndez, L. Velilla-Prieto +4
High expansion velocity carbon stars (HVCs) are a rare class of evolved stars whose circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) combine C-rich chemistry with unusually high expansion velocities…
Discovery of 1H-cyclopent[cd]indene (c-C11H8) in TMC-1 with the QUIJOTE line survey: A new three-ringed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
R. Fuentetaja, C. Cabezas, M. Agúndez +4
We report the detection of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) 1H-cyclopent[cd]indene (c-C11H8) in TMC-1 with the QUI- JOTE line survey. We detected 22 independent lines corr…
Discovery of linear propadienone: Study of the chemistry of linear and cyclic HCO and HCS in TMC-1
G. Esplugues, J. C. Loison, M. Agúndez +4
We report the first detection in space of propadienone, the linear isomer (l-HCO) of cyclopropenone (c-HCO). We also report the first detection of the isotopologue…
Piecing together formic acid isomerism in dark clouds. Detection of cis-formic acid in TMC-1 and astrochemical modeling
G. Molpeceres, M. Agúndez, M. Mallo +6
The presence of molecular isomers in interstellar environments has become a topic of growing interest within the astrochemical community. Contrary to predictions based on thermodyn…
Analysis of the isotopologues of CS, CCS, CCCS, HCS+, HCCS+, and H2CS in TMC-1 with the QUIJOTE line survey
R. Fuentetaja, C. Cabezas, Y. Endo +7
We performed a detailed analysis of the isotopologues with 13C, 34S, 33S, and 36S of the sulphur-bearing molecules CS, CCS, CCCS,HCS+, HCCS+, and H2CS towards TMC-1 using the QUIJO…
Low D/H ratio for benzonitrile in TMC-1: Implication for the origin of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cold dark clouds
A. L. Steber, J. Janeiro, C. Cabezas +9
Radioastronomical observations have recently discovered PAHs of moderate size (up to 24 carbon atoms) in cold dark clouds, although it is currently unknown whether they are formed…
