Observations of Carbon Isotopic Fractionation in Interstellar Formaldehyde
Conference poster, 2012

While solar system organics exhibit small fluctuations in δ^1^3C as compared to δ^1^5N and δD, an interstellar origin cannot be excluded. This study off ^1^3C fractionation in the cold, dense ISM reveals an enrichment in H_2CO that remains to be explained.
