Found basic molecules for living structures

A group of scientists led by researchers from the astronomical institute in Canarias (IAC) has succeeded in detecting naphthalene, one of the most complex molecules ever released. Show in space between stars.

This molecular discovery shows that a large number of important components in prebiotic molecules on Earth can exist in the material region between stars that the solar system has formed since.

IAC researchers Susana Iglesias Groth, Arturo Manchado and Aníbal Garcia, teamed up with Jonay Gonzalez (Paris observatory) and David Lambert (University of Texas) recently published these results in the Astrophysical Journal.

Using various telescopes at La Palma and Texas, IAC scientists have discovered the presence of naphtha in the region of the Perseus constellation starring Cernis 52. This molecule consists of two hexagonal rings Wrapped by hydrogen atoms.

The Napier molecule was discovered in a stellar region in the constellation Perseus toward Cernis 52. "We have just discovered the cationic presence of this molecule in a cloud 700 light-years from Earth. " Researcher Susana Iglesias said. Spectral bands found in this constellation coincide with laboratory measurements of napier cation.

Iglesias added: "We aim to investigate whether more complex hydrocarbons exist in this area, including amino-acids . " When tying ultraviolet rays combined with water and ammonium, both are abundant in the space between these stars, nap-tal-reactive wool and capable of producing a large variety of amino-acids and naphthaloquinone, money molecules to vitamins.

All of these molecules play a fundamental role in the development of life on Earth. In fact, naphtha is found in meteorites that continue to fall to the surface of the Earth and meteorites that have fallen even more intensely into the era of the beginning of life.

This research allows us to understand one of the problems that stimulate curiosity in this region's spectrum. Over the past 80 years, existence has information about hundreds of spectral bands (called diffuse bands) combined with interstellar matter, but this discovery raises a mystery.

"This result shows that aromatic multi-ring hydrocarbons such as napkins cause diffusion and should be present in such areas . " Iglesias said.
