In 1987 Cernicharo and Guélin reported the
detection of diatomic potassium chloride,
KCl, toward the well-studied carbon star
IRC +10216 (CW Leo) using the IRAM
30m telescope. More comprehensive
spectroscopic data was published by
Caris et al. in 2004 and
Barton et al. in 2014. In 2019,
Ginsburg et al. reported the
detection
of KCl toward the disk around Orion Source 1, including all four isotopologues formed from 39K,
41K, 35Cl, and 37Cl.
