Corona Australis 151: an extremely young protostar

E. Redaelli, S. Spezzano, P. Caselli +9

Context. Prestellar cores are the birthplace of stars and planetary systems, but they are short-lived objects, since the initial stages of dense core evolution, collapse, and the f…

A tale of two isotopes: Spatial variation in HCN fractionation toward young cores

Sigurd S. Jensen, Silvia Spezzano, Olli Sipilä +3

Context. Isotopic fractionation can serve as a powerful tracer of the chemical evolution during star and planet formation. To accurately interpret observations, it is crucial to id…

Chemical Complexity in the Early Stages of Star Formation in the SKAO Era

Eleonora Bianchi, Mathilde Bouvier, Claudio Codella +44

About 350 molecules have been identified in the interstellar medium (ISM), including complex molecules relevant to prebiotic chemistry. A remarkable level of molecular diversity ha…

Probing the ion-neutral drift velocity towards the L1544 prestellar core: Detection of ambipolar diffusion using ND and para-NHD

Doris Arzoumanian, Silvia Spezzano, Tommaso Grassi +9

The dynamical role of the magnetic field in the star formation process is tightly linked to the coupling between matter and the field. This coupling is due to the interaction betwe…

A differentiable and optimizable 3D model for interpretation of observed spectral data cubes

T. Grassi, J. E. Pineda, S. Spezzano +6

Molecular spectral cubes of prestellar cores encode the information on the physical and chemical properties of these objects along the line of sight. To retrieve this information,…

The Emergence of Prebiotic Chemistry in the ISM

Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Giuliana Cosentino, Francisco Montenegro-Montes +22

Contrary to popular belief, the interstellar medium (ISM) is not empty; it is filled with atoms, dust particles, and molecules. Some of these molecules may have been the very build…
