Among all the interstellar complex organic molecules, acetaldehyde is one of the most
widely detected species. The question of its formation route (s) is, therefore, of a major …

Context. The inner regions of the envelopes surrounding young protostars are characterized
by a complex chemistry, with prebiotic molecules present on the scales where …

Context. Deuteration is a powerful tracer of the history of the cold prestellar phase in star-
forming regions. Apart from methanol, little is known about deuterium fractionation of …

The high abundances of Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) with respect to methanol, the
most abundant COM, detected toward low-mass protostars, tend to be underpredicted by …

Context. The detection of complex organic molecules related with prebiotic chemistry in star-
forming regions allows us to investigate how the basic building blocks of life are formed …

Context. One of the open questions in astrochemistry is how complex organic and prebiotic
molecules are formed. The unsurpassed sensitivity of the Atacama Large Millimeter …

Glycolaldehyde (CH2OHCHO) is the simplest monosaccharide sugar in the interstellar
medium, and it is directly involved in the origin of life via the 'RNA world'hypothesis. We …

We have studied four complex organic molecules (COMs), the oxygen-bearing methyl
formate (CH 3 OCHO) and dimethyl ether (CH 3 OCH 3) as well as the nitrogen-bearing …

Context. The deuteration of molecules forming in the ices such as methanol (CH 3 OH) is
sensitive to the physical conditions during their formation in dense cold clouds and can be …

Deuterated methanol is one of the most robust windows astrochemists have on the
individual chemical reactions forming deuterium-bearing molecules and the …
