Star-forming regions show a rich and varied chemistry, including the presence of complex
organic molecules—in both the cold gas distributed on large scales and the hot regions …

Abstract Oximes (R 1 R 2 C= NOH) are nitrogen-containing chemical constituents that are
formed in species representing all kingdoms of life. In plants, oximes are positioned at …

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 …

Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been identified in different environments in star-
forming regions. Laboratory studies show that COMs form in the solid state, on icy grains …

The laboratory work presented here simulates the chemistry on icy dust grains as typical for
the 'CO freeze-out stage'in dark molecular clouds. It differs from previous studies in that solid …

Context. Hydroxylamine (NH 2 OH) and methylamine (CH 3 NH 2) have both been
suggested as precursors to the formation of amino acids and are therefore, of interest to …

We report the detection of linear and cyclic isomers of C3H and C3H2 towards various
starless cores and review the corresponding chemical pathways involving neutral (C3H x …

Context. We wish to improve our understanding of the Orion central star formation region
(Orion-KL) and disentangle its complexity. Aims. We collected data with ALMA during cycle 2 …

Glycine and methylamine are meteoritic water-soluble organic compounds that provide
insights into the processes that occurred before, during, and after the formation of the Solar …

Hydroxylamine, NH2OH, is one of the already detected interstellar molecules with the
highest prebiotic potential. Yet, the abundance of this molecule found by astronomical …
