We observe four hyperfine components of this radical in the $J = 17/2 \\rightarrow 15/2$ rotational transition that originates from the $^2\\Pi_{1/2}$ fine structure level of its ground state, and calculate an abundance of $n/n_{H_2}$ = $1.7\\times 10^{-10}$, assuming an excitation temperature of $T_{ex} = 7$~K. No indication of HC$_3$O, HC$_4$O, HC$_6$O, is found in these or archival observations of the source, while we report"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1706.09766","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
