TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the typical environment of dense interstellar clouds is favorable to glycolaldehyde synthesis by means of the polymerization of formaldehyde (H CO) molecules either on grain surfaces or in the 2 gas phase.

TL;DR: In this article, an A-species and four E-species rotational transitions of formamide (CH3CONH2) have been detected in emission and absorption toward the star-forming region Sagittarius B2(N) with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope (GBT) by means of four A-and four E -species rotation transitions.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that successive hydrogen addition is probably an important chemistry route in the formation of a number of complex interstellar molecules in Sagittarius B2(N) by means of rotational transitions observed with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope.

TL;DR: The presence of aldehyde/red alcohol pairs in interstellar clouds implies that such molecules are a product of a low-temperature chemistry on grain surfaces or in grain ice mantles as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the detection of new transitions of octatetraynyl (C8H) toward the circumstellar envelope IRC +10 216 using data taken with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope (GBT).
