Planets form and obtain their compositions in disks of gas and dust around young stars. The
chemical compositions of these planet-forming disks regulate all aspects of planetary …

The Leiden Atomic and Molecular Database (LAMDA) collects spectroscopic information
and collisional rate coefficients for molecules, atoms, and ions of astrophysical and …

We report the first detection in the interstellar medium (ISM) of a C 2 H 5 O 2 N isomer: syn-
glycolamide (NH 2 C (O) CH 2 OH). The exquisite sensitivity at sub-mK levels of an …

We present the first detection of (Z)-1, 2-ethenediol,(CHOH) 2, the enol form of
glycolaldehyde, in the interstellar medium toward the G+ 0.693− 0.027 molecular cloud …

One of the proposed scenarios for the origin of life is the primordial RNA world, which
considers that RNA molecules were likely responsible for the storage of genetic information …

We report the first detection of the phosphorus monoxide ion (PO+) in the interstellar
medium. Our unbiased and very sensitive spectral survey toward the G+ 0.693–0.027 …

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 …

In recent years, phosphorus monoxide (PO), an important molecule for prebiotic chemistry,
has been detected in star-forming regions and in the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko …

Compartmentalization is crucial for the evolution of life. Present-day phospholipid
membranes exhibit a high level of complexity and species-dependent homochirality, the so …

Context. Phosphorus (P) is a crucial element for life given its central role in several
biomolecules. P-bearing molecules have been discovered in different regions of the Milky …
