Interstellar Glycolaldehyde, Methyl Formate, and Acetic Acid. II. Chemical Modeling of the Bimodal Abundance Pattern in NGC 6334I
Brielle M. Shope, Samer J. El-Abd, Crystal L. Brogan +4
Gas-phase abundance ratios between \ce{C2H4O2} isomers methyl formate (MF), glycolaldehyde (GA), and acetic acid (AA) are typically on the order of 100:10:1 in star-forming regions…
Ice Chemistry Modeling of Active Phase Comets: Hale-Bopp
Eric R. Willis, Drew A. Christianson, Robin T. Garrod
We present a chemical kinetics model of the solid-phase chemical evolution of a comet, beginning with a long period of cold-storage in the Oort Cloud, followed by five orbits that…
Formation of complex organic molecules in hot molecular cores through nondiffusive grain-surface and ice-mantle chemistry
Robin T. Garrod, Mihwa Jin, Kayla A. Matis +3
A new, more comprehensive model of gas-grain chemistry in hot molecular cores is presented, in which nondiffusive reaction processes on dust-grain surfaces and in ice mantles are i…
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…
Interstellar Detection of the Highly Polar Five-Membered Ring Cyanocyclopentadiene
Michael C. McCarthy, Kin Long Kelvin Lee, Ryan A. Loomis +10
Much like six-membered rings, five-membered rings are ubiquitous in organic chemistry, frequently serving as the building blocks for larger molecules, including many of biochemical…
An Investigation of Spectral Line Stacking Techniques and Application to the Detection of HCN
Ryan A. Loomis, Andrew M. Burkhardt, Christopher N. Shingledecker +10
As the inventory of interstellar molecules continues to grow, the gulf between small species, whose individual rotational lines can be observed with radio telescopes, and large one…
