ALMA Reveals Thermal and Nonthermal Desorption of Methanol Ice in the HD 100546 Protoplanetary Disk

Methanol (CH _3 OH) and formaldehyde (H _2 CO) are chemically coupled organic molecules proposed to act as an intermediate step between simple molecules and more complex prebiotic compounds. Their abundance distributions across disks regulate the prebiotic potential of material at different disk rad...
