[Press Release] The chemical composition of planetary systems has been diverse since before their birth?

Dr. Nami Sakai, Dr. Tomoya Hirota, Dr. Tsuyoshi Sakai, Dr. Yoshimasa Watanabe, Dr. Satoshi Yamamoto, and Dr. Yaeko Ohya have studied the chemical composition of the gas surrounding about 50 protostars and found that the amount of organic molecules varies greatly among the objects. This is the first time that the chemical composition of the surrounding gas has been studied in such a large number of protostars in the same region, and the results of this study are expected to contribute to the understanding of the chemical origin of the environment of the primitive solar system.
