Using data from the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, astronomers have identified emission from two isomers of a small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) called cyanonapthalene in the starless cloud core TMC-1, which is part of the interstellar Taurus Molecular Cloud. The discovery, reported in a paper in the journal Science, suggests that PAHs can form at much lower temperatures than expected, and it may lead scientists to rethink their assumptions about the role of PAH chemistry in the formation…
