JWST Observations Of 13CO2 ice: Tracing The Chemical Environment And Thermal History Of Ices In Protostellar Envelopes
The structure and composition of simple ices can be modified during stellar evolution by protostellar heating. Key to understanding the involved processes are thermal and chemical tracers that can diagnose […]

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 […]

Parsec Scales Of Carbon Chain And Complex Organic Molecules In AFGL 2591 And IRAS 20126
(Abridged) There is a diverse chemical inventory in protostellar regions leading to the classification of extreme types of systems. Warm carbon chain chemistry sources, for one, are the warm and […]
