Methoxymethanol Formation Starting from CO-Hydrogenation
Jiao He, Mart Simons, Gleb Fedoseev +7
Methoxymethanol (CH3OCH2OH, MM) has been identified through gas-phase signatures in both high- and low-mass star-forming regions. This molecule is expected to form upon hydrogen ad…
Astrochemistry with the Orbiting Astronomical Satellite for Investigating Stellar Systems (OASIS)
Jennifer B. Bergner, Yancy L. Shirley, Jes K. Jorgensen +14
Chemistry along the star- and planet-formation sequence regulates how prebiotic building blocks -- carriers of the elements CHNOPS -- are incorporated into nascent planetesimals an…
Expanding the submillimeter wave spectroscopy and astronomical search for thioacetamide (CH3CSNH2) in the ISM
A. Remijan, C. Xue, L. Margulès +12
Thioacetamide (CH3CSNH2) is the sulfur analog to acetamide (CH3CONH2) and it is a viable candidate to search for in astronomical environments specifically toward regions where othe…
Collisional excitation and non-LTE modelling of interstellar chiral propylene oxide
K. Dzenis, A. Faure, B. A. McGuire +7
The first set of theoretical cross sections for propylene oxide (CH3CHCH2O) colliding with cold He atoms has been obtained at the full quantum level using a high-accuracy potential…
Structure of the Source I disk in Orion-KL
Melvyn Wright, John Baly, Tomoya Hirota +6
This paper analyses images from 43 to 340 GHz to trace the structure of the Source I disk in Orion-KL with 12 AU resolution. The data reveal an almost edge-on disk with an ou…
CH3-Terminated Carbon Chains in the GOTHAM Survey of TMC-1: Evidence of Interstellar CH3C7N
Mark A. Siebert, Kin Long Kelvin Lee, Anthony J. Remijan +4
We report a systematic study of all known methyl carbon chains toward TMC-1 using the second data release of the GOTHAM survey, as well as a search for larger species. Using Markov…
2021 Census of Interstellar, Circumstellar, Extragalactic, Protoplanetary Disk, and Exoplanetary Molecules
Brett A. McGuire
To date, 241 individual molecular species, comprised of 19 different elements, have been detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium by astronomical observations. These m…
Machine Learning of Interstellar Chemical Inventories
Kin Long Kelvin Lee, Jacqueline Patterson, Andrew M. Burkhardt +3
The characterization of interstellar chemical inventories provides valuable insight into the chemical and physical processes in astrophysical sources. The discovery of new interste…
Discovery of the Pure Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Indene (-CH) with GOTHAM Observations of TMC-1
Andrew M. Burkhardt, Kin Long Kelvin Lee, P. Bryan Changala +8
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have long been invoked in the study of interstellar and protostellar sources, but the unambiguous identification of any individual PAH has p…
Detection of Interstellar HCCCHCN
C. N. Shingledecker, K. L. K. Lee, J. T. Wandishin +8
The chemical pathways linking the small organic molecules commonly observed in molecular clouds to the large, complex, polycyclic species long-suspected to be carriers of the ubiqu…
The Extraordinary Outburst in the Massive Protostellar System NGC6334I-MM1: Strong Increase in Mid-Infrared Continuum Emission
T. R. Hunter, C. L. Brogan, J. M. De Buizer +7
In recent years, dramatic outbursts have been identified toward massive protostars via infrared and millimeter dust continuum and molecular maser emission. The longest lived outbur…
Detection of Two Interstellar Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons via Spectral Matched Filtering
Brett A. McGuire, Ryan A. Loomis, Andrew M. Burkhardt +12
Ubiquitous unidentified infrared emission bands are seen in many astronomical sources. Although these bands are widely, if not unanimously, attributed to the collective emission fr…
Aromatics and Cyclic Molecules in Molecular Clouds: A New Dimension of Interstellar Organic Chemistry
Michael C. McCarthy, Brett A. McGuire
Astrochemistry lies at the nexus of astronomy, chemistry, and molecular physics. On the basis of precise laboratory data, a rich collection of more than 200 familiar and exotic mol…
Interstellar Detection of 2-Cyanocyclopentadiene, CHCN, a Second Five-Membered Ring Toward TMC-1
Kin Long Kelvin Lee, P. Bryan Changala, Ryan A. Loomis +6
Using radio observations with the Green Bank Telescope, evidence has now been found for a second five-membered ring in the dense cloud Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 (TMC-1). Based on ad…
Discovery of Interstellar trans-cyanovinylacetylene (HCCCH=CHCN) and vinylcyanoacetylene (HC=CHCN) in GOTHAM Observations of TMC-1
Kin Long Kelvin Lee, Ryan A. Loomis, Andrew M. Burkhardt +8
We report the discovery of two unsaturated organic species, trans-(E)-cyanovinylacetylene and vinylcyanoacetylene, using the second data release of the GOTHAM deep survey towards T…
