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…

PDRs4All. X. ALMA and JWST detection of neutral carbon in the externally irradiated disk d203-506: Undepleted gas-phase carbon

Javier R. Goicoechea, J. Le Bourlot, J. H. Black +26

The gas-phase abundance of carbon, x_C = C/H, and its depletion factors are essential parameters for understanding the gas and solid compositions that are ultimately incorporated i…

Do spiral arms enhance star formation efficiency?

Miguel Querejeta, Adam K. Leroy, Sharon E. Meidt +32

Spiral arms are some of the most spectacular features in disc galaxies, and also present in our own Milky Way. It has been argued that star formation should proceed more efficientl…

Emergence of high-mass stars in complex fiber networks (EMERGE). I. Early ALMA Survey: observations and massive data reduction

A. Hacar, A. Socci, F. Bonanomi +10

(Abridged) Recent molecular surveys have revealed a rich gas organization of sonic-like fibers in all kind of environments prior to the formation of low- and high-mass stars. This…
