The magnetic field of a molecular cloud core may play a role in the formation of circumstellar disks in the core. We present magnetic field morphologies in protostellar cores of […]
Atomic carbon in its ground electronic state, C(3P), is expected to be present at high abundances during the evolution of dense molecular clouds. Consequently, its reactions with other interstellar species […]
What do margaritas, vinegar, and ant stings have in common? They contain chemical ingredients that NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has identified surrounding two young protostars known as IRAS 2A […]
With the recent radioastronomical detection of cis-trans-carbonic acid (H2CO3) in a molecular cloud toward the galactic center, the more stable but currently unobserved cis-cis conformer is shown here to have […]
There are life forms in space and the ancestor of Earth life came from interstellar space according to models like panspermia.
This work presents the results of a theoretical study that analyzed the possibility of nucleobases to form in the interstellar medium, in the Horsehead nebula, which is a region considered […]
Amino acids make up millions of proteins that drive the chemical gears of life, including essential bodily functions in animals.
