Rethinking Habitability Using Biogenic Precursors: Formaldehyde in Millimeter Molecular Clouds of the Inner Galaxy

Rethinking Habitability Using Biogenic Precursors: Formaldehyde in Millimeter Molecular Clouds of the Inner Galaxy

We present a comprehensive study of formaldehyde (H _2 CO) absorption and radio recombination line (H _110 _α ) emission in 215 molecular clouds from the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey, observed using the Nanshan 25 m radio telescope. H _2 CO was detected in 88 sources (40.93%) with 59 being new dete...
