| The molecular line survey was carried out with the Yebes 40 m radio telescope between 31.0 and 50.4 GHz. The two cyanoacenaphtalene isomers 1- and 5-C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>7</sub>CN were detected while the 3- and 4-C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>7</sub>CN isomers were not detected. While all of the isomers are asymmetric rotors of the prolate type, the detected isomers are more asymmetric (or closer to an oblate top asymmetric rotor). | The molecular line survey was carried out with the Yebes 40 m radio telescope between 31.0 and 50.4 GHz.

| The molecules were identified through a plethora of //a//-type rotational transitions, several series easier to detect because of oblate pairing of the transitions having the same //K<sub>c</sub>// close to //J//. The derived column densities were equal, and a rotational temprerature of 9 K was derived. The authours also detected many lines of 1- and 2-cyanonaphtalene, again with equal column densities. Interestingly, the column densities of these slightly smaller molecules were about a factor of 1.7 lower than those of each of the cyanoacenaphtalenes.\\ | The molecules were identified through a plethora of //a//-type rotational transitions, several series easier to detect because of oblate pairing of the transitions having the same //K<sub>c</sub>// close to //J//.
