Unidentified infrared emission bands are ubiquitous in many astronomical sources. These
bands are widely, if not unanimously, attributed to collective emissions from polycyclic …

To date, 204 individual molecular species, comprised of 16 different elements, have been
detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium by astronomical observations. These …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles are thought
to be widespread throughout the universe, because these classes of molecules are probably …

Binary formation is an important aspect of star formation. One possible route for close-in
binary formation is disk fragmentation,–. Recent observations show that small-scale …

To date, 241 individual molecular species, composed of 19 different elements, have been
detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium by astronomical observations. These …

Much like six-membered rings, five-membered rings are ubiquitous in organic chemistry,
frequently serving as the building blocks for larger molecules, including many of biochemical …

We present an overview of the GBT Observations of TMC-1: Hunting Aromatic Molecules
Large Program on the Green Bank Telescope. This and a related program were launched to …

As the inventory of interstellar molecules continues to grow, the gulf between small species,
whose individual rotational lines can be observed with radio telescopes, and large ones …

Abstract Benzonitrile (c-C6H5CN, where 'c'indicates a cyclic structure), a polar proxy for
benzene (c-C6H6), has the potential to serve as a highly convenient radio probe for …

Context. Detailed astrochemical models are a key component to interpret the observations of
interstellar and circumstellar molecules since they allow important physical properties of the …
