Description
The analysis of isomeric species of a compound observed in the interstellar medium is a useful tool to understand the chemistry of complex organic molecules. It could, likewise, assist to detect new species. Our goal consists on analyzing one of the two most stable species of the C_3_H_4_O family, methyl ketene, whose actual rotational parameters are not precise enough to allow its detection in the ISM. The obtained parameters will be used to search for it in the high-mass star-forming regions Orion KL and Sagittarius B2 as well as in the cold dark clouds TMC-1 in Taurus Molecular Cloud and Barnard 1 (B1-b).
