Prestellar cores represent early sites of low-mass (M ≤ few M⊙) star and planet formation and provide insight into initial chemical conditions of complex organic molecules (COMs).

A Deep Search For Complex Organic Molecules Toward The Protoplanetary Disk Of V883 Ori
Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) in the form of prebiotic molecules are potentially building blocks of life.
Laboratory Rotational Spectroscopy Leads to the First Interstellar Detection of Singly Deuterated Methyl Mercaptan (CH2DSH)
We report an extensive rotational spectroscopic analysis of singly deuterated methyl mercaptan (CH2DSH) using both millimeter and far-infrared synchrotron spectra to achieve a global torsional analysis of the three lowest […]
Rotational Spectrum and First Interstellar Detection of 2-Methoxyethanol Using ALMA Observations of NGC 6334I
We use both chirped-pulse Fourier transform and frequency modulated absorption spectroscopy to study the rotational spectrum of 2-methoxyethanol in several frequency regions ranging from 8.7-500 GHz.
A Deep Search For Large Complex Organic Species Toward IRAS16293-2422 B At 3 mm With ALMA
Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been detected ubiquitously in protostellar systems. However, at shorter wavelengths (~0.8mm) it is more difficult to detect larger molecules than at longer wavelengths (~3mm) because […]
