Discovery of interstellar phenalene (-CH): A new piece for the chemical puzzle of PAHs in space
Carlos Cabezas, Marcelino Agúndez, Cristóbal Pérez +10
We present the discovery of the unsubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) phenalene (-CH) in TMC-1 as part of the QUIJOTE line survey. In spite of the lo…

Low D/H ratio for benzonitrile in TMC-1: Implication for the origin of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cold dark clouds
A. L. Steber, J. Janeiro, C. Cabezas +9
Radioastronomical observations have recently discovered PAHs of moderate size (up to 24 carbon atoms) in cold dark clouds, although it is currently unknown whether they are formed…

Discovery of two cyano derivatives of acenaphthylene (CH) in TMC-1 with the QUIJOTE line survey
J. Cernicharo, C. Cabezas, R. Fuentetaja +12
We report the discovery in TMC-1 of two cyano derivatives of the PAH acenaphthylene (CH). We have found two series of lines with the QUIJOTE line survey that we assign t…
