🚨✨ MEET G+0.633-0.0604 A new shock-dominated molecular cloud at the southern edge of Sgr B2. G+0.633 emerges as a promising new laboratory for astrochemistry and star formation, and as the southern counterpart of the famous G+0.693 cloud! arxiv.org/abs/2607.01481 🧵👇

And this is only the beginning... G+0.633 is also chemically extraordinary, with one of the richest molecular inventories known in the Galactic Centre (>120 detected molecules, including several of great prebiotic interest). Stay tuned... the chemistry is coming next! 🧪✨

This review confirms that stereoisomerism is a fundamental contributor to interstellar molecular complexity. It is already available in arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2603.24848 ; and it will appear soon in Open Access in the ACS Earth and Space Chemistry journal (@ACSPublications) (🧵4/4)

We have discussed the mechanisms that can explain the stereoisomeric ratios (OSR) - defined as the column density ratio of the higher-energy isomer divided by that of the lower-energy isomer (🧵3/4 ).

"INTERSTELLAR STEREOISOMERISM”: stereoisomers are molecules that share the same bonding arrangement, but differ in the three-dimensional orientation of their atoms. These are the 16 stereoisomeric pairs detected in the interstellar medium so far (🧵2/4 ):

(3)🌌The molecule was identified in the Galactic center molecular cloud G+0.693–0.027, by combining ultra-deep astronomical observations from a large observational survey led by CAB (@ryvendel), with new laboratory experiments conducted at MPE (M. Araki, Valerio Lattanzi et al.)
