Formation of the Methyl Cation by Photochemistry in a Protoplanetary Disk
Olivier Berné, Marie-Aline Martin-Drumel, Ilane Schroetter +53
Forty years ago it was proposed that gas phase organic chemistry in the interstellar medium was initiated by the methyl cation CH3+, but hitherto it has not been observed outside t…
HCN emission from translucent gas and UV-illuminated cloud edges revealed by wide-field IRAM 30m maps of Orion B GMC: Revisiting its role as tracer of the dense gas reservoir for star formation
M. G. Santa-Maria, J. R. Goicoechea, J. Pety +28
We present 5 deg^2 (~250 pc^2) HCN, HNC, HCO+, and CO J=1-0 maps of the Orion B GMC, complemented with existing wide-field [CI] 492 GHz maps, as well as new pointed observations of…
PDRs4All IV. An embarrassment of riches: Aromatic infrared bands in the Orion Bar
Ryan Chown, Ameek Sidhu, Els Peeters +136
(Abridged) Mid-infrared observations of photodissociation regions (PDRs) are dominated by strong emission features called aromatic infrared bands (AIBs). The most prominent AIBs ar…
The extremely sharp transition between molecular and ionized gas in the Horsehead nebula
C. Hernández-Vera, V. V. Guzmán, J. R. Goicoechea +12
(Abridged) Massive stars can determine the evolution of molecular clouds with their strong ultraviolet (UV) radiation fields. Moreover, UV radiation is relevant in setting the ther…
Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS) VIII. Unlocking the CS chemistry: the CH + S CS + H and C + S CS + C reactions
Carlos M. R. Rocha, Octavio Roncero, Niyazi Bulut +15
We revise the rates of reactions CH + S -> CS + H and C_2 + S -> CS + C, important CS formation routes in dark and diffuse warm gas. We performed ab initio calculations to characte…
Understanding the temperatures of H3+ and H2 in diffuse interstellar sightlines
Jacques Le Bourlot, Evelyne Roueff, Franck Le Petit +3
The triatomic hydrogen ion H3+ is one of the most important species for the gas phase chemistry of the interstellar medium. Observations of H3+ are used to constrain important phys…
