Ethyl cyanide is an abundant molecule in hot molecular clouds. Lines from 13C isotopically substituted ethyl cyanide were identified in Orion. To enable the search and the possible detection of other isotopologues of ethyl cyanide in interstellar objects, we have studied the rotational spectrum of deuterated ethyl cyanide: CH2DCH2CN (in-plane and out-of-plane) and CH3CHDCN and the spectrum of15N substituted ethyl cyanide CH3CH2C15N. The rotational spectrum of each species in the ground state was measured in the microwave and millimeter-submillimeter wavelength range using a waveguide Fourier transform spectrometer (8 - 17 GHz) and a source-modulated spectrometer employing backward-wave oscillators (BWOs) (150 - 260 and 580 - 660 GHz). From the fitting procedure, accurate spectroscopic constants were derived for each of the species. These new sets of spectroscopic constants enable us to predict reliably the rotational spectrum (lines frequencies and intensities) in the 4-1000 GHz frequency range and for J and Ka up to 80 and 31, respectively. Combined with IRAM 30 m antenna observations of Orion, this experimental study allowed us to detect 15N substituted ethyl cyanide for the first time in Orion. The derived column density and rotational temperature are 10^13 cm-2 and 150 K for the plateau and 3 10^14 cm-2 and 300 K for the hot core. The deuterated species were searched for but were not detected. The upper limit to the column density of each deuterated isotopologues was 10^14 cm-2.

The deuteration mechanism of molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM) is still being debated. Observations of deuterium-bearing species in several astronomical sources represent a powerful tool to improve our understanding of the interstellar chemi
stry. The doubly deuterated form of the astrophysically interesting Amidogen radical could be a target of detection in space. In this work, the rotational spectrum of the ND$_{2}$ radical in its ground vibrational and electronic $X^{2}B_{1}$ states has been investigated between 588 and 1131 GHz using a frequency modulation millimeter/submillimeter-wave spectrometer. The ND$_{2}$ has been produced in a free-space glass absorption cell by discharging a mixture of ND$_{3}$ and Ar. Sixty-four new transition frequencies involving $J$ values from 2 to 5 and $K_{a}$ values from 0 to 4 have been measured. A global analysis including all the previous field-free pure rotational data has been performed, allowing for a more precise determination of a very large number of spectroscopic parameters. Accurate predictions of rotational transition frequencies of ND$_{2}$ are now available from a few GHz up to several THz.
Glycolaldehyde, a sugar-related interstellar prebiotic molecule, has recently been detected in two star-forming regions, Sgr B2(N) and G31.41+0.31. The detection of this new species increased the list of complex organic molecules detected in the inte
rstellar medium (ISM) and adds another level to the chemical complexity present in space. Besides, this kind of organic molecule is important because it is directly linked to the origin of life. For many years, astronomers have been struggling to understand the origin of this high chemical complexity in the ISM. The study of deuteration may provide crucial hints. In this context, we have measured the spectra of deuterated isotopologues of glycolaldehyde in the laboratory: the three monodeuterated ones (CH2OD-CHO, CHDOH-CHO and CH2OH-CDO) and one dideuterated derivative (CHDOH-CDO) in the ground vibrational state. Previous laboratory work on the D-isotopologues of glycolaldehyde was restricted to less than 26 GHz. We used a solidstate submillimeter-wave spectrometer in Lille with an accuracy for isolated lines better than 30 kHz to acquire new spectroscopic data between 150 and 630 GHz and employed the ASFIT and SPCAT programs for analysis. We measured around 900 new lines for each isotopologue and determined spectroscopic parameters. This allows an accurate prediction in the ALMA range up to 850 GHz. This treatment meets the needs for a first astrophysical research, for which we provide an appropriate set of predictions.
Methyl mercaptan (also known as methanethiol), CH3SH, has been found in the warm and dense parts of high -- as well as low -- mass star-forming regions. The aim of the present study is to obtain accurate spectroscopic parameters of the S-deuterated m
ethyl mercaptan CH$_3$SD to facilitate astronomical observations by radio telescope arrays at (sub)millimeter wavelengths. We have measured the rotational spectrum associated with the large-amplitude internal rotation of the methyl group of methyl mercaptan using an isotopically enriched sample in the 150-510 GHz frequency range using the Koln millimeter wave spectrometer. The analysis of the spectra has been performed up to the second excited torsional state. We present modeling results of these data with the RAM36 program. CH$_3$SD was searched for, but not detected, in data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Protostellar Interferometric Line Survey (PILS) of the deeply embedded protostar IRAS 16293-2422. The derived upper limit corresponds to a degree of deuteration of at most ~18%.
A reinterpretation of the complete energy spectrum of the Oxygen-16 nucleus up to 20 MeV, and partly beyond, is proposed. The underlying intrinsic shape of the nucleus is tetrahedral, as in the naive alpha-particle model and other cluster models, and
A, E and F vibrational phonons are included. The A- and F-phonons are treated in the harmonic approximation, but the E-vibrations are extended into a two-dimensional E-manifold of D2-symmetric, four-alpha-particle configurations, following earlier work. This allows for the underlying tetrahedral configuration to deform through a square configuration into the dual tetrahedron, so there is tunnelling between the tetrahedron and its dual, with the associated breaking of parity doubling. However, E-manifold states can still be interpreted in terms of E-phonons. Rotational excitations of the vibrational states are analysed as in the classic work of Dennison, Robson and others, with centrifugal corrections to the rotational energy spectrum included. States with F-phonons require Coriolis corrections too. The first-excited $0^+$ state at 6.05 MeV is modelled as a state with two E-phonons; this allows a good fit of the lowest $2^+$ and $2^-$ states as excitations with one E-phonon. The Coriolis parameter $zeta$ is chosen positive to ensure the right splitting of the $3^+$ and $3^-$ states near 11 MeV. Altogether, about 80 states with isospin zero are predicted below 20 MeV, and these match rather well the more than 60 experimentally tabulated states. Several high-spin states are predicted, up to spin 9 and energy 30 MeV, and these match some of the high-spin, natural parity states in this energy range that have been observed. The model proposed here is mainly phenomenological but it receives some input from analysis of Skyrmions with baryon number 16.
We report the first spectroscopic detection of ethyl cyanide (C$_2$H$_5$CN) in Titans atmosphere, obtained using spectrally and spatially resolved observations of multiple emission lines with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter array (ALMA). T
he presence of C$_2$H$_5$CN in Titans ionosphere was previously inferred from Cassini ion mass spectrometry measurements of C$_2$H$_5$CNH$^+$. Here we report the detection of 27 rotational lines from C$_2$H$_5$CN (in 19 separate emission features detected at $>3sigma$ confidence), in the frequency range 222-241 GHz. Simultaneous detections of multiple emission lines from HC$_3$N, CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$CCH were also obtained. In contrast to HC$_3$N, CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$CCH, which peak in Titans northern (spring) hemisphere, the emission from C$_2$H$_5$CN is found to be concentrated in the southern (autumn) hemisphere, suggesting a distinctly different chemistry for this species, consistent with a relatively short chemical lifetime for C$_2$H$_5$CN. Radiative transfer models show that most of the C$_2$H$_5$CN is concentrated at altitudes 300-600 km, suggesting production predominantly in the mesosphere and above. Vertical column densities are found to be in the range (2-5)$times10^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$.
