The interstellar medium is characterized by a rich and diverse chemistry. Many of its
complex organic molecules are proposed to form through radical chemistry in icy grain …

It was in 'The Magellanic Cloud'(1955)–a science fiction novel by Stanislaw Lem–that
engineers travelling to another star noticed that their spacecraft for unknown reasons …

Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been observed not only in the hot cores
surrounding low-and high-mass protostars, but also in cold dark clouds. Therefore, it is …

Context. Many molecules observed in the interstellar medium are thought to result from the
thermal desorption of ices. Parameters such as the desorption energy and pre-exponential …

We report the detection of interstellar methoxymethanol (CH 3 OCH 2 OH) in Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Bands 6 and 7 toward the MM1 core in the high-mass …

UV photon-driven condensed phase cosmic ice reactions have been the main focus in
understanding the extraterrestrial synthesis of complex organic molecules. Low-energy (≤ …

Context. Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been identified toward high-and low-
mass protostars as well as molecular clouds, suggesting that these interstellar species …

Context. The number of identified complex organic molecules (COMs) in inter-and
circumstellar gas-phase environments is steadily increasing. Recent laboratory studies …

Laboratory studies of the radiation chemistry occurring in astrophysical ices have
demonstrated the dependence of this chemistry on a number of experimental parameters …

Interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) have been identified in different interstellar
environments including star forming regions as well as cold dense molecular clouds …
