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…
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…
First detection of HS2 in a cold dark cloud
G. Esplugues, M. Agúndez, G. Molpeceres +5
We report the first detection of HS2 towards the cold dark cloud TMC-1. This is the first observation of a chemical species containing more than one sulphur atom in this type of so…
A search for the three isomers of cyano-1,3-butadiene in TMC-1: Implications for bottom-up routes involving 1,3-butadiene
M. Agundez, C. Cabezas, N. Marcelino +4
The molecule 1,3-butadiene (CH2CHCHCH2) could play a key role in the synthesis of the cyclic molecules cyclopentadiene and benzene in cold dense clouds. Since 1,3-butadiene is non-…
