A new chemical model is presented that simulates fully-coupled gas-phase, grain-surface and bulk-ice chemistry in hot cores. Glycine (NH2CH2COOH), the simplest amino acid, and related molecules such as glycinal, propionic acid and propanal,…

We detected carbon-chain molecules (CCMs) HC2n+1N (n=1-3) and C3S in Ku band as well as {high-energy excitation lines including C4H N=9-8, J=17/2-15/2, 19/2-17/2, and CH3CCH J=5-4, K=2 in the 3 mm band toward a starless core called the…

We report ALMA Cycle 3 observations in CO isotopes toward a dense core, MC27/L1521F in Taurus, which is considered to be at an early stage of multiple star formation in a turbulent environment. Although most of the high-density parts of…

Carbon chain molecules may be an important reservoir of reactive organics during star and planet formation. Carbon chains have been observed toward several low-mass young stellar objects (YSOs), but their typical abundances and chemical…

Organic features lead to two distinct types of Class 0/I low-mass protostars: hot corino sources, and warm carbon-chain chemistry (WCCC) sources. Some observations suggest that the chemical variations between WCCC sources and hot corino…

Low-mass protostars form from condensations inside molecular clouds when gravity overwhelms thermal and magnetic supporting forces. The first phases of the formation of a solar-type star are characterized by dramatic changes not only in the…

Astrochemical observations have revealed a surprisingly high level of chemical complexity, including long carbon chains, in the earliest stages of Sun-like star formation. The origin of these species and whether they undergo further growth,…

Context: Solar-like protostars are known to be chemically rich, but it is not yet clear how much their chemical composition can vary and why. So far, two chemically distinct types of Solar-like protostars have been identified: hot corinos,…

Context. "Snow lines", marking regions where abundant volatiles freeze out onto the surface of dust grains, play an important role for planet growth and bulk composition in protoplanetary disks. They can already be observed in the envelopes…

We have observed dense gas around the Very Low-Luminosity Ob jects (VeLLOs) L1521F-IRS and IRAM 04191+1522 in carbon-chain and organic molecular lines with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope. Towards L1521F-IRS, carbon-chain lines of CH3CCH…

Recent observations of the pre-stellar core L1544 and the younger starless core L1498 have revealed that complex organic molecules (COMs) are enhanced in the gas phase toward their outer and intermediate-density shells. Our goal is to…

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Band 3 data toward five massive young stellar objects (MYSOs), and investigate relationships between unsaturated carbon-chain species and saturated complex organic molecules (COMs). An…

Several complex organic molecules are routinely detected in high abundances towards hot cores and hot corinos. For many of them, their paths of formation in space are uncertain, as gas phase reactions alone seem to be insufficient. In this…

Studying the physical and chemical conditions of young embedded disks is crucial to constrain the initial conditions for planet formation. Here, we present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of dust continuum…

We report the detection of complex molecules (HCOOCH_3, HCOOH and CH_3CN), signposts of a "hot core" like region, toward the low mass, Class 0 source NGC1333-IRAS4A. This is the second low mass protostar where such complex molecules have…

We report the detection of more than 120 emission lines corresponding to 8 complex organic molecules (CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, CH3OCH3, CH3OCHO, CH3COCH3, NH2CHO, CH2DCN, and CH3CH2CN) and 3 isotopologues (CH2DOH, 13CH3CN, and CH3C15N) toward the…

We present an IRAM 30m line survey of the dense core L483 in the 3 mm band. We detected 71 molecules (140 including different isotopologs), most of which are present in the cold and quiescent ambient cloud. Of particular interest among the…

We have carried out observations of CCH ($N=1-0$), CH$_{3}$CN ($J=5-4$), and three $^{13}$C isotopologues of HC$_{3}$N ($J=10-9$) toward three massive young stellar objects (MYSOs), G12.89+0.49, G16.86--2.16, and G28.28--0.36, with the…

We report a sensitive search for the rotational transitions of the carbon chain alcohol HC4OH in the frequency range of 21.2-46.7 GHz in the star-forming region L1527 and the dark cloud TMC-1. The motivation was laboratory detection of…
