Observations of Radio Emission from Interstellar Hydrogen Cyanide (original) (raw)

ADS

Abstract

Radio emission spectra from the J=1-0 transitions of H12C14N and H13C14N, two molecular isotopes of hydrogen cyanide, have been detected at 88.6 and 86.3 GHz, respectively. Our preliminary survey resulted in the detection of six interstellar H12C14N sources; to date, two of these have been found to contain detectable amounts of H13C14N.
