This work aims to constrain the abundances of interstellar amides, by searching for this group of prebiotic molecules in the intermediate-mass protostar Serpens SMM1-a. ALMA observations are conducted toward Serpens SMM1. A spectrum is extracted toward the SMM1-a position and analyzed with the CASSIS line analysis software for the presence of characteristic rotational lines of a number of amides and other molecules. NH 2 CHO, NH 2 CHO ν 12 =1, NH 13 2 CHO, CH 3 C(O)NH 2 ν=0,1, CH 2 DOH, CH 3 CHO, and CH 3 C(O)CH 3 are securely detected, while trans-NHDCHO, NH 2 CDO, CH 3 NHCHO ν=0,1, CH 3 COOH, and HOCH 2 CHO are tentatively identified. The results of this work are compared with detections presented in the literature. A uniform CH 3 C(O)NH 2 /NH 2 CHO ratio is found for a group of interstellar sources with vast physical differences. A similar ratio is seen for CH 3 NHCHO, based on a smaller data sample. The D/H ratio of NH 2 CHO is about 1-3% and is close to values found in the low-mass source IRAS 16293-2422B. The formation of CH 3 C(O)NH 2 and NH 2 CHO is likely linked. Formation of these molecules on grain surfaces during the dark cloud stage is a likely scenario. The high D/H ratio of NH 2 CHO is also seen as an indicationthat these molecules are formed on icy dust grains. As a direct consequence, amides are expected to be present in the most pristine material from which planetary systems form, thus providing a reservoir of prebiotic material.

“…2) Source statistics: The OASIS mission will observe numerous Class 0/I protostars as part of its baseline mission. While surveys of organic chemistry in low-mass protostars are beginning to be undertaken with ALMA and NOEMA (e.g., Bergner et al, 2019a;Belloche et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2021), our understanding of the chemical demographics in these objects is still in its infancy.…”

Chemistry along the star- and planet-formation sequence regulates how prebiotic building blocks—carriers of the elements CHNOPS—are incorporated into nascent planetesimals and planets. Spectral line observations across the electromagnetic spectrum are needed to fully characterize interstellar CHNOPS chemistry, yet to date there are only limited astrochemical constraints at THz frequencies. Here, we highlight advances to the study of CHNOPS astrochemistry that will be possible with the Orbiting Astronomical Satellite for Investigating Stellar Systems (OASIS). OASIS is a NASA mission concept for a space-based observatory that will utilize an inflatable 14-m reflector along with a heterodyne receiver system to observe at THz frequencies with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. As part of a survey of H2O and HD toward ∼100 protostellar and protoplanetary disk systems, OASIS will also obtain statistical constraints on the emission of complex organics from protostellar hot corinos and envelopes as well as light hydrides including NH3 and H2S toward protoplanetary disks. Line surveys of high-mass hot cores, protostellar outflow shocks, and prestellar cores will also leverage the unique capabilities of OASIS to probe high-excitation organics and small hydrides, as is needed to fully understand the chemistry of these objects.

Given also that ALMA is heavily over-subscribed, OASIS will provide much-needed demographic constraints on the complex chemistry in Class 0/I protostars.…”
