HyGAL: Characterizing the Galactic ISM with observations of hydrides and other small molecules
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 As a complement to the HyGAL Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy Legacy Program, we report the results of a groundbased absorption line survey of simple molecules in diffuse and translucent Galactic clouds. Using the Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique (IRAM) 30 m telescope, we surveyed molecular lines in the 2 mm and 3 mm wavelength

Benzonitrile as a Proxy for Benzene in the Cold ISM: Low-temperature Rate Coefficients for CN + C6H6 [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 The low-temperature reaction between CN and benzene (C6H6) is of significant interest in the astrochemical community due to the recent detection of benzonitrile, the first aromatic molecule identified in the interstellar medium (ISM) using radio ...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Several organic chemical compounds (the so-called interstellar complex organic molecules, iCOMs) have been identified in the interstellar medium (ISM). Examples of iCOMs are formamide (HCONH2), acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), methyl formate (CH3OCHO), or formic ...

Searches for bridged bicyclic molecules in space—norbornadiene and its cyano derivatives
Faraday discussions, 2023 The norbornadiene (NBD) molecule, C7H8, owes its fame to its remarkable photoswitching properties that are promising for molecular solar-thermal energy storage systems.

Binding Energies of Interstellar Molecules on Crystalline and Amorphous Models of Water Ice by Ab Initio Calculations [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 In the denser and colder (≤20 K) regions of the interstellar medium (ISM), near-infrared observations have revealed the presence of submicron-sized dust grains covered by several layers of H2O-dominated ices and “dirtied” by the presence of other ...
