More than 120 molecular species found in giant cloud near Milky Way's center
📌 概要
天文学家在银河系中心附近发现第二个富含复杂分子的星际云G+0.633,已确认超过120种分子,其中多种与生命起源前化学相关。这是首个被确认的、与著名分子富集云化学性质类似的“化学孪生”云,相关论文8月14日发布于arXiv预印本服务器。

Astronomers have discovered a second interstellar cloud near the center of the Milky Way that is extraordinarily rich in complex molecules, including several molecules associated with prebiotic chemistry. The newly studied cloud, G+0.633-0.0604, or G+0.633, contains more than 120 identified molecular species and is the first confirmed chemical twin of another famous molecule-rich cloud. Their paper, posted to the arXiv preprint server on Aug. 14, outlines the chemistry of the newfound cloud.
