AbstractGlycolaldehyde is the simplest of the monosaccharide sugars and is directly linked to the origins of life. We report on the detection of glycolaldehyde (CH2OHCHO) towards the hot molecular core G31.41+0.31 through observations with the IRAM PdBI (Plateau de Bure Interferomter) at 1.4, 2.1, and 2.9 mm.
