Abstract:Despite the identification of the smallest sugar molecule, glycolaldehyde (GA), in the interstellar medium (ISM), its mechanism of formation in the ISM is still not fully understood. A more profound understanding of the interstellar chemistry of GA and related molecules could provide insights into whether larger sugar molecules can also form and survive under such conditions. The primary objectives of this research are to delve into the sugar formation mechanism in the ISM, especially in dark molecular clouds;… Show more
