Thermal Desorption Kinetics, Binding Energies, and Entrapment of Methyl Mercaptan Ices
The Astrophysical JournalOrganosulfur species are potential major carriers of sulfur in the interstellar medium, as well as interesting ingredients in prebiotic chemistry. The most fundamental question regarding these species is under which conditions they reside in the gas ...

New Candidates for Organic-rich Regions on Ceres
The Planetary Science JournalWe explore the spatial distribution of organics on Ceres using the visible and near-infrared data collected by the Dawn mission. We employ a spectral mixture analysis (SMA) approach to map organic materials within the Ernutet crater at the highest ...

Complex Organic Molecules toward Embedded Low-mass Protostars∗ [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been observed toward several low-mass young stellar objects (LYSOs). Small and heterogeneous samples have so far precluded conclusions on typical COM abundances, as well as the origin(s) of abundance variations between sources.

Interstellar Complex Organic Molecules in SiO-traced Massive Outflows
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022 Abstract The interstellar medium contains dust and gas, in which molecules can proliferate at high densities and in cold conditions. Interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) are C-bearing species that contain at least six atoms.

Chemical Evolution of Some Selected Complex Organic Molecules in Low-mass Star-forming Regions
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The destiny of complex organic molecules (COMs) in star-forming regions is interlinked with various evolutionary phases. Therefore, identifying these species in diversified environments of identical star-forming regions would help to understand their ...

INTERSTELLAR COMPLEX ORGANIC MOLECULES AND THE MINIMUM ENERGY PRINCIPLE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 The hunt for complex organic molecules (COMs) is a major concern for understanding the possible role of interstellar chemistry in the synthesis of the molecules that ultimately may be at the origin of life. A comprehensive screening of the 14 species effectively observed under 32 different isomeric forms in the interstellar medium has been done by ...

The Planetary Science JournalOrganic-mineral interactions are crucial drivers of diversity in abiotic systems on planetary surfaces. Despite their significance, the evolution of these systems, particularly the role of organic molecules in newly formed minerals, remains underexplored.
