Rotational Spectrum and First Interstellar Detection of 2-methoxyethanol Using ALMA Observations of NGC 6334I

We use both chirped-pulse Fourier transform and frequency-modulated absorption spectroscopy to study the rotational spectrum of 2-methoxyethanol (CH _3 OCH _2 CH _2 OH) in several frequency regions ranging from 8.7 to 500 GHz. The resulting rotational parameters permitted a search for this molecule...
