First Detection of Ethylene Oxide and Acetaldehyde in Hot Core G358.93−0.03 MM1
Introduction to Ethylene Oxide and Acetaldehyde Ethylene oxide (c-C2H4O) and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) are notable organic molecules that play a critical role in the chemistry of the interstellar medium (ISM). Their presence in hot molecular cores could offer insights into the complex processes that lead to the formation of amino acids, the essential building blocks of…

First Detection of Ethylene Oxide and Acetaldehyde in G358.93−0.03 MM1
Introduction to Ethylene Oxide and Acetaldehyde Ethylene oxide (c-C2H4O) and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) are complex organic molecules that hold significant importance in astrochemistry. These molecules are believed to be crucial in the formation of amino acids within the interstellar medium (ISM), which may ultimately have implications for the origins of life as we know it. The…
