JWST observations of cosmic-ray-excited H in Barnard 68: spatial variations and constraints on cosmic-ray attenuation
David A. Neufeld, Kedron Silsbee, Alexei V. Ivlev +9
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec observations of the starless dark cloud Barnard 68 that reveal the spatially-resolved signature of cosmic-ray excited molecular…
The Colors of Ices: Measuring ice column density through photometry
Adam Ginsburg, Savannah R. Gramze, Matthew L. N. Ashby +8
Ices imprint strong absorption features in the near- and mid-infrared, but until recently they have been studied almost exclusively with spectroscopy toward small samples of bright…
Mapping CO Ice in a Star-Forming Filament in the 3 kpc Arm with JWST
Savannah Gramze, Adam Ginsburg, Nazar Budaiev +14
CO gas emission is a fundamental tool for measuring column density, but in cold, dark clouds, much of the CO is locked away in ice. We present JWST results from observations of a s…
The first detection of cosmic-ray excited H in interstellar space
Shmuel Bialy, Amit Chemke, David A. Neufeld +12
Stars and planets form within cold, dark molecular clouds. In these dense regions, where starlight cannot penetrate, cosmic rays (CRs) are the dominant source of ionization -- driv…
An analytic formalism to describe the - relationship in molecular clouds
Brandt A. L. Gaches
Context. Astrochemical modeling requires, as input, the effective column density of gas (or extinction) that attenuates an external, isotropic, far-ultraviolet radiation field. In…
The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Q-band Follow-up. II. Hydrogen Recombination Lines Toward High-Mass Protostars
Prasanta Gorai, Kotomi Taniguchi, Jonathan C. Tan +11
Hydrogen recombination lines (HRLs) are valuable diagnostics of the physical conditions in ionized regions around high-mass stars. Understanding their broadening mechanisms and int…
Detection of Deuterated Hydrocarbon Nanoparticles in the Whirlpool Galaxy, M51
B. T. Draine, Karin Sandstrom, Daniel A. Dale +29
Deuteration of hydrocarbon material, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has been proposed to account for the low gas-phase abundances of D in the interstellar mediu…
An Investigation of Disk Thickness in M51 from H-alpha, Pa-alpha, and Mid-Infrared Power Spectra
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Daniela Calzetti, Angela Adamo +27
Power spectra (PS) of high-resolution images of M51 (NGC 5194) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope have been examined for evidence of disk thic…
The Resolved Structure of a Low Metallicity Photodissociation Region
Ilyse Y. Clark, Karin Sandstrom, Mark Wolfire +14
Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) are key to understanding the feedback processes that shape interstellar matter in galaxies. One important type of PDR is the interface between HII…
