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…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake. How do Planetary Systems Form?
I. MendigutÃa, N. Huélamo, I. Jiménez-Serra +32
The detection and characterization of protoplanets in protoplanetary disks around young stars is emerging as a transformative field that will redefine our understanding of how plan…
The role of supernova remnants for the emergence of pre-biotic chemistry in molecular clouds
Giuliana Cosentino, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Laura Colzi +11
There is growing evidence that the Sun might have formed within a nebula impacted by at least one SNR. In this scenario, ejecta and shocks from SNRs may have provided the elements…
Laboratory rotational spectroscopy and interstellar search for the protein precursor 4-oxobutanenitrile (HCOCHCHCN)
V. M. Rivilla, E. R. Alonso, W. Song +6
Understanding the presence and distribution of prebiotic precursors in the interstellar medium (ISM) is key to tracing the chemical origins of life. Among them, 4-oxobutanenitrile…
FAUST XXX: Dust enhancement in the young binary L1551 IRS 5
Nicolás Cuello, Eleonora Bianchi, François Ménard +17
Young binary stars with discs provide unique laboratories to study the earliest stages of planet formation in star-forming environments. The detection of substructure in discs arou…
Chemical complexity in star formation induced by stellar feedback: cores shock-formed by the supernova remnant W44
G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, F. Fontani +8
Low-velocity shocks from Supernova Remnants (SNRs) may set the physical and chemical conditions of star formation in molecular clouds. Recent evidence suggests that the Sun might h…
