Gas phase detection and rotational spectroscopy of ethynethiol, HCCSH
Kin Long Kelvin Lee, Marine-Aline Martin-Drumel, Valerio Lattanzi +3
We report the gas-phase detection and spectroscopic characterization of ethynethiol (), a metastable isomer of thioketene () using a combination o…
Perspectives on Astrophysics Based on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Techniques
Daniel Wolf Savin, James F. Babb, Paul M. Bellan +35
About two generations ago, a large part of AMO science was dominated by experimental high energy collision studies and perturbative theoretical methods. Since then, AMO science has…
Science with an ngVLA: Observing the Effects of Chemistry on Exoplanets and Planet Formation
Brett A. McGuire, Edwin Bergin, Geoffrey A. Blake +6
One of the primary mechanisms for inferring the dynamical history of planets in our Solar System and in exoplanetary systems is through observation of elemental ratios (i.e. C/O).…
Science with an ngVLA: Prebiotic Molecules
Brett A. McGuire, P. Brandon Carroll, Robin T. Garrod
Extraterrestrial amino acids, the chemical building blocks of the biopolymers that comprise life as we know it on Earth are present in meteoritic samples. More recently, glycine (N…
2018 Census of Interstellar, Circumstellar, Extragalactic, Protoplanetary Disk, and Exoplanetary Molecules
Brett A. McGuire
To date, 204 individual molecular species, comprised of 16 different elements, have been detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium by astronomical observations. These m…
The extraordinary outburst in the massive protostellar system NGC6334I-MM1: Flaring of the water masers in a north-south bipolar outflow driven by MM1B
C. L. Brogan, T. R. Hunter, C. J. Cyganowski +6
We compare multi-epoch sub-arcsecond VLA imaging of the 22 GHz water masers toward the massive protocluster NGC6334I observed before and after the recent outburst of MM1B in (sub)m…
First Results of an ALMA Band 10 Spectral Line Survey of NGC 6334I: Detections of Glycolaldehyde (HC(O)CHOH) and a New Compact Bipolar Outflow in HDO and CS
Brett A. McGuire, Crystal L. Brogan, Todd R. Hunter +9
We present the first results of a pilot program to conduct an ALMA Band 10 spectral line survey of the high-mass star-forming region NGC 6334I. The observations were taken in excep…
Vibrational Satellites of CS, CS, and CS: Microwave Spectral Taxonomy as a Stepping Stone to the Millimeter-Wave Band
Brett A. McGuire, Marie-Aline Martin-Drumel, Kin Long Kelvin Lee +3
We present a microwave spectral taxonomy study of several hydrocarbon/CS discharge mixtures in which more than 60 distinct chemical species, their more abundant isotopic specie…
Low levels of methanol deuteration in the high-mass star-forming region NGC 6334I
Eva G. Bøgelund, Brett A. McGuire, Niels F. W. Ligterink +6
The abundance of deuterated molecules in a star-forming region is sensitive to the environment in which they are formed. Deuteration fractions therefore provide a powerful tool for…
Detection of the Aromatic Molecule Benzonitrile (-CHCN) in the Interstellar Medium
Brett A. McGuire, Andrew M. Burkhardt, Sergei Kalenskii +4
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles are thought to be widespread throughout the Universe, because these classes of molecules are probably…
