Detection of C5 in the Circumstellar Shell of IRC+10216.
The C(5) molecule has been identified in the infrared spectrum of the prototypical obscured carbon star, IRC+10216. In addition to their astrophysical importance, pure carbon chain molecules such as C(5) are of interest in the chemistry of flames and propellants.
