Interstellar Complex Organic Molecules and Molecular Outflows in NGC 1333 IRAS 4B and 4B' Observed Using NOEMA
C. C. Sarver, M. M. Giese, D. C. Lis +1
We present interferometric observations with the Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) of NGC 1333 IRAS 4B and 4B', two young stellar objects (YSOs) within the Perseus molecul…
Tides Tighten the Hycean Habitable Zone
Joseph R. Livesey, Juliette Becker, Susanna L. Widicus Weaver
Hycean planets -- exoplanets with substantial water ice layers, deep surface oceans, and hydrogen-rich atmospheres -- are thought to be favorable environments for life. Due to a re…
Spatial and Chemical Complexity in the W75N Star-Forming Region
Morgan M. Giese, Will E. Thompson, Dariusz C. Lis +1
We present the analysis of NOEMA interferometric observations of the high-mass star-forming region W75N(B) with a focus on molecular composition and distribution of prebiotic molec…
Mapping Physical Conditions in Neighboring Hot Cores: NOEMA Studies of W3(HO) and W3(OH)
Morgan M. Giese, Will E. Thompson, Dariusz C. Lis +1
The complex chemistry that occurs in star-forming regions can provide insight into the formation of prebiotic molecules at various evolutionary stages of star formation. To study t…
Comparing Complex Chemistry in Neighboring Hot Cores: NOEMA Studies of W3(HO) and W3(OH)
Will E. Thompson, Morgan M. Giese, Dariusz C. Lis +1
Presented here are NOEMA interferometric observations of the neighboring hot cores W3(HO) and W3(OH). The presence of two star-forming cores at different evolutionary stages…
On the collisional disalignment of dust grains in illuminated and shaded regions of IC 63
Archana Soam, B-G Andersson, Jose Acosta-Pulido +5
Interstellar dust grain alignment causes polarization from UV to mm wavelengths, allowing the study of the geometry and strength of the magnetic field. Over last couple of decades…
First detection of gas-phase methanol in a protoplanetary disk
Catherine Walsh, Ryan A. Loomis, Karin I. Oberg +7
The first detection of gas-phase methanol in a protoplanetary disk (TW Hya) is presented. In addition to being one of the largest molecules detected in disks to date, methanol is a…
Complex organic molecules along the accretion flow in isolated and externally irradiated protoplanetary disks
Catherine Walsh, Eric Herbst, Hideko Nomura +2
(Abridged) The birth environment of the Sun will have influenced the conditions in the pre-solar nebula, including the attainable chemical complexity, important for prebiotic chemi…
A CSO Search for -CH: Detection in the Orion Bar PDR
Brett A. McGuire, P. Brandon Carroll, James L. Sanders +3
The results of a Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) search for -CH, first detected by Pety et al. (2012) in observations toward the Horsehead photodissociation regi…
Complex Organic Molecules at High Spatial Resolution Toward Orion-KL I: Spatial Scales
Susanna L. Widicus Weaver, Douglas N. Friedel
Here we present high spatial resolution (<1 arcsecond) observations of molecular emission in Orion-KL conducted using the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy (…
Complex Organic Molecules at High Spatial Resolution Toward Orion-KL II: Kinematics
D. N. Friedel, S. L. Widicus Weaver
It has recently been suggested that chemical processing can shape the spatial distributions of complex molecules in the Orion-KL region and lead to the nitrogen-oxygen "chemical di…
A High Spatial Resolution Study of the λ=3 mm Continuum of Orion-KL
D. N Friedel, S. L. Widicus Weaver
Recent interferometric observations have called into question the traditional view of the Orion-KL region, which displays one of the most well-defined cases of chemical differentia…
Tracing the Bipolar Outflow from Orion Source I
R. L. Plambeck, M. C. H. Wright, D. N. Friedel +6
Using CARMA, we imaged the 87 GHz SiO v=0 J=2-1 line toward Orion-KL with 0.45 arcsec angular resolution. The maps indicate that radio source I drives a bipolar outflow into the su…
A search for ortho-benzyne (o-C6H4) in CRL 618
Susanna L. Widicus Weaver, Anthony J. Remijan, Robert J. McMahon +1
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been proposed as potential carriers of the unidentified infrared bands (UIRs) and the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). PAHs are not l…
