A detection of sulfur-bearing cyclic hydrocarbons in space
Mitsunori Araki, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Christian P. Endres +13
Molecules harbouring sulfur are thought to have played a key role in the biological processes of life on Earth, and thus, they are of much interest when found in space. Here we rep…
Laboratory Detection and Rotational Spectroscopy of -HNSO: Implications for Astronomical Observations
Valerio Lattanzi, Miguel Sanz-Novo, VÃctor M. Rivilla +2
Sulfur-bearing molecules are central to interstellar chemistry, yet their observed abundances in the gas phase remain far below cosmic expectations in dense interstellar regions. M…
Metallic species in interstellar medium: Astrochemical modeling
Ankan Das, Milan Sil, Paola Caselli
Metal-bearing species in diffuse or molecular clouds are often overlooked in astrochemical modeling except for the charge exchange process. However, catalytic cycles involving thes…
On the abiotic origin of dimethyl sulfide: discovery of DMS in the Interstellar Medium
Miguel Sanz-Novo, VÃctor M. Rivilla, Christian P. Endres +14
Following the discovery of dimethyl sulfide (CHSCH, DMS) signatures in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, we report the first detection of this organosulfur species in the in…
Laboratory rotational spectroscopy leads to the first interstellar detection of singly deuterated methyl mercaptan (CHDSH)
Hayley A. Bunn, Silvia Spezzano, Laurent H. Coudert +8
We report an extensive rotational spectroscopic analysis of singly deuterated methyl mercaptan (CHDSH) using both millimeter and far-infrared synchrotron spectra to achieve a…
