Prebiotic precursors of the primordial RNA world in space: Detection of NHOH
Víctor M. Rivilla, Jesús Martín-Pintado, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +6
One of the proposed scenarios for the origin of life is the primordial RNA world, which considers that RNA molecules were likely responsible for the storage of genetic information…
Cloud-cloud collision as drivers of the chemical complexity in Galactic Centre molecular clouds
S. Zeng, Q. Zhang, I. Jimenez-Serra +6
G+0.693-0.03 is a quiescent molecular cloud located within the Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2) star-forming complex. Recent spectral surveys have shown that it represents one of the most p…
Extensive ro-vibrational analysis of deuterated-cyanoacetylene (DCN) from millimeter-wavelengths to the infrared domain
M. Melosso, L. Bizzocchi, A. Adamczyk +12
Cyanoacetylene, the simplest cyanopolyyne, is an abundant interstellar molecule commonly observed in a vast variety of astronomical sources. Despite its importance as a potential t…
Evolutionary study of complex organic molecules in high-mass star-forming regions
A. Coletta, F. Fontani, V. M. Rivilla +4
We have studied four complex organic molecules (COMs), methyl formate (), dimethyl ether (), formamide (), and ethyl cyanide (), towards a l…
DCN observations towards high-mass star-forming regions
V. M. Rivilla, L. Colzi, F. Fontani +5
We present the study of deuteration of cyanoacetylene (HCN) towards a sample of 28 high-mass star-forming cores divided into different evolutionary stages, from starless to evo…
Propargylimine in the laboratory and in space: millimetre-wave spectroscopy and first detection in the ISM
Luca Bizzocchi, Domenico Prudenzano, Victor M. Rivilla +10
Small imines containing up to three carbon atoms are present in the interstellar medium. As alkynyl compounds are abundant in this medium, propargylimine thus represents a promisin…
