The Discovery of 25 μm Interstellar Methanol

The Discovery of 25 μm Interstellar Methanol

We present the first astrophysical detection of methanol (CH _3 OH) in the torsional band near 25 μ m. Using high-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, we identified over 70 gas-phase CH _3 OH absorption lines between 20 and 28 μ m toward the massive protostar NGC 7538 IRS 1 with the Stratosph...
