The SOFIA FEEDBACK Legacy Survey: Rapid molecular cloud dispersal in RCW 79
L. Bonne, S. Kabanovic, N. Schneider +12
It has long been discussed whether stellar feedback in the form of winds and/or radiation can shred the nascent molecular cloud, thereby controlling the star formation rate. Howeve…
Identifying physical structures in our Galaxy with Gaussian Mixture Models: An unsupervised machine learning technique
M. Tiwari, R. Kievit, S. Kabanovic +14
We explore the potential of the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), an unsupervised machine learning method, to identify coherent physical structures in the ISM. The implementation we pr…
SOFIA FEEDBACK Survey: The Pillars of Creation in [C II] and Molecular Lines
Ramsey L. Karim, Marc W. Pound, Alexander G. G. M. Tielens +11
We investigate the physical structure and conditions of photodissociation regions (PDRs) and molecular gas within the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula using SOFIA FEEDBACK o…
Unveiling the formation of the massive DR21 ridge
L. Bonne, S. Bontemps, N. Schneider +10
We present new CO(1-0), CO(1-0), HCO(1-0) and HCO(1-0) maps from the IRAM 30m telescope, and a spectrally-resolved [CII] 158 m map observed with…
SOFIA FEEDBACK survey: PDR diagnostics of stellar feedback in different regions of RCW 49
M. Tiwari, M. Wolfire, M. W. Pound +13
We quantified the effects of stellar feedback in RCW 49 by determining the physical conditions in different regions using the [CII] 158 m and [OI] 63 m observations from SOFI…
The SOFIA FEEDBACK Legacy Survey: Dynamics and mass ejection in the bipolar HII region RCW 36
L. Bonne, N. Schneider, P. García +20
We present [CII] 158 m and [OI] 63 m observations of the bipolar HII region RCW 36 in the Vela C molecular cloud, obtained within the SOFIA legacy project FEEDBACK, which is…
ATLASGAL-selected massive clumps in the inner Galaxy. X. Observations of atomic carbon at 492 GHz
Min-Young Lee, Friedrich Wyrowski, Karl Menten +2
(Abridged) In this paper, we investigate the physical conditions of [CI]-traced gas in high-mass star-forming regions by analyzing APEX [CI] 492 GHz single-pointing observations of…
Self-absorption in [CII], CO, and HI in RCW120. Building up a geometrical and physical model of the region
S. Kabanovic, N. Schneider, V. Ossenkopf-Okada +19
Revealing the 3D dynamics of HII regions and their associated molecular clouds is important for understanding the longstanding problem as to how stellar feedback affects the densit…
Stellar feedback and triggered star formation in the prototypical bubble RCW 120
Matteo Luisi, Loren D. Anderson, Nicola Schneider +17
Radiative and mechanical feedback of massive stars regulates star formation and galaxy evolution. Positive feedback triggers the creation of new stars by collecting dense shells of…
SOFIA FEEDBACK survey: exploring the dynamics of the stellar wind driven shell of RCW 49
M. Tiwari, R. Karim, M. W. Pound +13
We unveil the stellar wind driven shell of the luminous massive star-forming region of RCW 49 using SOFIA FEEDBACK observations of the [CII] 158 m line. The complementary datase…
Hunting for the elusive methylene radical
A. M. Jacob, K. M. Menten, Y. Gong +4
CH2 transitions between 68 and 71 GHz were first detected toward the Orion-KL and W51 Main SFRs. Given their upper level energies of 225 K, they were thought to arise in dense, hot…
Studying the effects and cause of the massive star formation in Messier 8 East
M. Tiwari, K. M. Menten, F. Wyrowski +4
Messier 8 (M8), one of the brightest HII regions in our Galaxy, is associated with two prominent massive star-forming regions: M8-Main, the particularly bright part of the large sc…
ATLASGAL-selected massive clumps in the inner Galaxy: VIII. Chemistry of photodissociation regions
W. -J. Kim, F. Wyrowski, J. S. Urquhart +4
We study ten molecular transitions obtained from an unbiased 3 mm molecular line survey using the IRAM 30 m telescope toward 409 compact dust clumps identified by the APEX Telescop…
FEEDBACK: a SOFIA Legacy Program to Study Stellar Feedback in Regions of Massive Star Formation
N. Schneider, R. Simon, C. Guevara +37
FEEDBACK is a SOFIA legacy program dedicated to study the interaction of massive stars with their environment. It performs a survey of 11 galactic high mass star forming regions in…
Observational study of hydrocarbons in the bright photodissociation region of Messier 8
M. Tiwari, K. M. Menten, F. Wyrowski +3
Hydrocarbons are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium, but their formation is still not well understood, depending on the physical environment they are found in. M8 is host to one…
