Sub-arcsecond imaging of HCN and CN in the Orion Bar. UV-driven warm Nitrogen chemistry in dense environments

M. Zannese, J. R. Goicoechea, S. Cuadrado +3

Rotationally excited HCN and CN lines, due to their high critical densities, are often used as tracers of gas densities. ALMA, with its high spectral and spatial resolution, provid…

The sulfur plume in the Horsehead nebula: New detections of SH, SH, and CO

Asunción Fuente, Gisela Esplugues, Pablo Rivière-Marichalar +13

Sulfur is essential for life, but its abundance and distribution in the interstellar medium remain uncertain, with over 90% of sulfur undetected in cold molecular clouds. Sulfur al…

PDRs4All. XII. FUV-driven formation of hydrocarbon radicals and their relation with PAHs

J. R. Goicoechea, J. Pety, S. Cuadrado +25

We present subarcsecond-resolution ALMA mosaics of the Orion Bar PDR in [CI] 609um, C2H (4-3), and C18O (3-2) emission lines complemented by JWST images of H2 and aromatic infrared…

CO isotopologue-derived molecular gas conditions and CO-to-H conversion factors in M51

Jakob den Brok, María J. Jiménez-Donaire, Adam Leroy +24

Over the past decade, several millimeter interferometer programs have mapped the nearby star-forming galaxy M51 at a spatial resolution of pc. This study combines observ…

Toward a robust physical and chemical characterization of heterogeneous lines of sight: The case of the Horsehead nebula

Léontine Ségal, Antoine Roueff, Jérôme Pety +28

Dense cold molecular cores/filaments are surrounded by an envelope of translucent gas. Some of the low-J emission lines of CO and HCO isotopologues are more sensitive to the co…

Quantifying the informativity of emission lines to infer physical conditions in giant molecular clouds. I. Application to model predictions

Lucas Einig, Pierre Palud, Antoine Roueff +29

Observations of ionic, atomic, or molecular lines are performed to improve our understanding of the interstellar medium (ISM). However, the potential of a line to constrain the phy…
