Complex organic molecules in strongly UV-irradiated gas. [PDF]
Astron Astrophys, 2017 We investigate the presence of COMs in strongly UV-irradiated interstellar molecular gas. We have carried out a complete millimetre line survey using the IRAM30m telescope towards the edge of the Orion Bar photodissociation region (PDR), close to the H2 dissociation front, a position irradiated by a very intense far-UV (FUV) radiation field.

Photochemistry of interstellar ice forming complex organic molecules
Nature Reviews ChemistryAstrochemistry is a well-established multidisciplinary field devoted to study molecules in space. While most astrochemists are oriented to observe molecules in the gas phase and reproduce their abundances by modeling the physical conditions of the medium, the microscopic dust particles wandering in the interstellar medium deserve the attention of a ...

A High-level Ab Initio Study of the Destruction of Methanimine under UV Radiation
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The photodecomposition of methanimine (CH _2 NH) in the interstellar medium through several possible pathways is investigated by means of high-level multireference configuration interaction ab initio calculations.

The SKA as a Prebiotic Molecule Detector
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 One of the theories for the origin of life proposes that a significant fraction of prebiotic material could have arrived to Earth from outer space between 4.1 and 3.8 billion years ago.

UV and VUV Ionization of Organic Molecules, Clusters, and Complexes [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2009 The generation of organic particle beams is studied in combination with photoionization using uv radiation at 266 nm and vuv light at 157 nm. Single-photon ionization with pulsed vuv light turns out to be sensitive enough to detect various large neutral biomolecular complexes ranging from metal-amino acid complexes to nucleotide clusters and aggregates

The Detection of Hot Molecular Cores in the Small Magellanic Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report the first detection of hot molecular cores in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a nearby dwarf galaxy with 0.2 solar metallicity. We observed two high-mass young stellar objects in the SMC with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ...
