Elsa Yuan (re)joins for her PhD!
Elsa has rejoined the group as a 1st-year PhD student. Elsa previously worked as one of the pioneering members of the group during her CHEM 445 RLE and summer Work Learn positions. Elsa will build instruments focused on exploring energetic processing of interstellar ice, including by vacuum-ultra violet photons and cosmic rays. Welcome back Elsa!
Cyano-butadiene, isomer of pyridine, discovered in interstellar space!
Our latest research was published in the Astrophysical Journal! In this paper, we report the detection of E-1-cyano-1,3-butadiene in Taurus molecular cloud using data from the Green Bank 100 m telescope. Butadiene is anticipated to be an important precursor in the growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in molecular clouds. This work involved undergraduate RLE student, Edward (Qi Yu) Tang!
