Many Protostellar and cometary detections of organohalogens: probably not alien in origin.
Organohalogens, a class of molecules that contain at least one halogen atom bonded to carbon, are abundant on the Earth where they are mainly produced through industrial and biological processes1. Consequently, they have been proposed as biomarkers in the search for life on exoplanets2. Simple halogen hydrides have been detected in interstellar sources and in Read more about Many Protostellar and cometary detections of organohalogens: probably not alien in origin.[…]
