Organic Molecules in Interstellar Space: Latest Advances
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Although first considered as too diluted for the formation of molecules in-situ and too harsh an environment for their survival, the interstellar medium has turned out to host a rich palette of molecular species: to date, 256 species, not counting ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Stellar systems are often formed through the collapse of dense molecular clouds which, in turn, return copious amounts of atomic and molecular material to the interstellar medium.

Gas-phase Chemistry in the Interstellar Medium: The Role of Laboratory Astrochemistry
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 “Who” and how? In this simple question the complexity of the interstellar chemistry is encapsulated. “Who” refers to what molecules are present in the interstellar medium (ISM) and “how” to the mechanisms that led to their formation.

Survey of CH3NH2 and its Formation Process
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the observational results of a precursor of glycine, methylamine (CH _3 NH _2 ), together with methanol (CH _3 OH) and methanimine (CH _2 NH) for the high-mass star-forming regions NGC 6334I, G10.47+0.03, G31.41+0.3, and W51 e1/e2 using the ...

A Complete HCN Survey of the Perseus Molecular Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a survey of the Perseus molecular cloud in the J = 1 → 0 transition of HCN, a widely used tracer of dense molecular gas. The survey was conducted with the CfA 1.2 m telescope, which at 89 GHz has a beamwidth of 11′ and a spectral resolution of

CHIMIA, 1977 The parameters of the interstellar chemistry have been discussed: the cosmic abundance of elements, the mass and density of the gaseous component in the interstellar space, the temperature, the source of free energy, the stability of the molecules in ...

Modeling the processing of interstellar ices by energetic particles [PDF]
, 2013 Context. Interstellar ice is the main form of metal species in dark molecular clouds. Experiments and observations have shown that the ice is significantly processed after the freeze-out of molecules onto grains.

Interstellar Molecules in Meteorites [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1989 Substantial enrichment of deuterium, D, in certain components of chondritic meteorites is interpreted as a record of isotopic fractionation during ion-molecule reactions at the very low temperatures characteristic of dense interstellar clouds. Whether those meteorites still contain the actual molecules that were synthesised in the presolar interstellar

The first results from the Herschel-HIFI mission [PDF]
, 2012 This paper contains a summary of the results from the first years of observations with the HIFI instrument onboard ESA's Herschel space observatory. The paper starts by outlining the goals and possibilities of far-infrared and submillimeter astronomy ...
