Detection of vibrationally excited C6H in the cold prestellar core TMC-1 with the QUIJOTE line survey
J. Cernicharo, R. Fuentetaja, M. Agundez +4
In this work, we present the detection of twelve doublets with quantum numbers of N=12-11 to N=17-16 of the v11 vibrationally excited state of C6H towards TMC-1. This marks the fir…
Aromatic cycles are widespread in cold clouds
M. Agundez, N. Marcelino, B. Tercero +1
We report the detection of large hydrocarbon cycles toward several cold dense clouds. We observed four sources (L1495B, Lupus-1A, L483, and L1527) in the Q band (31-50 GHz) using t…
First glycine isomer detected in the interstellar medium: glycolamide (NHC(O)CHOH)
Víctor M. Rivilla, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +13
We report the first detection in the interstellar medium of a CHON isomer: -glycolamide (NHC(O)CHOH). The exquisite sensitivity at sub-mK levels of an ultr…
The first detection of SiC in the interstellar medium
S. Massalkhi, I. Jiménez-Serra, J. Martín-Pintado +7
We report the first detection of SiC in the interstellar medium. The molecule was identified through six rotational transitions toward G\,+0.6930.027, a molecular cloud loca…
Laboratory and astronomical discovery of the cyanovinyl radical H2CCCN
C. Cabezas, J. Tang, M. Agúndez +9
We report the first laboratory and interstellar detection of the alpha-cyano vinyl radical (H2CCCN). This species was produced in the laboratory by an electric discharge of a gas m…
Discovery of the elusive carbonic acid (HOCOOH) in space
Miguel Sanz-Novo, Víctor M. Rivilla, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +12
After a quarter century since the detection of the last interstellar carboxylic acid, acetic acid (CHCOOH), we report the discovery of a new one, the cis-trans form of carbonic…
