  title = {3D Magneto-Optical Trap of Yttrium Monoxide},
  abstract = {We report three-dimensional trapping of an oxide molecule (YO), using a radio-frequency magnetooptical trap (MOT). The total number of molecules trapped is \~1.5 \texttimes 10<sup>4</sup>, with a temperature of 4.1(5) mK. This diversifies the frontier of molecules that are laser coolable and paves the way for the second-stage narrow-line cooling in this molecule to the microkelvin regime. Futhermore, the new challenges of creating a 3D MOT of YO resolved here indicate that MOTs of more complex nonlinear molecules should be feasible as well.},
