Shocks in the warm neutral medium II -- Origin of neutral carbon at high pressure

Benjamin Godard, Guillaume Pineau Des Forêts, Jeremy La Porte +1

Aims: Ultraviolet (UV) lines of neutral carbon observed in absorption in the local diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) have long revealed that a substantial fraction of the mass of t…

Shocks in the warm neutral medium I -- Theoretical model

Benjamin Godard, Guillaume Pineau Des Forêts, Shmuel Bialy

Context. Atomic and molecular line emissions from shocks may provide valuable information on the injection of mechanical energy in the interstellar medium (ISM), the generation of…

Shock excitation of H in the James Webb Space Telescope era

L. E. Kristensen, B. Godard, P. Guillard +2

(Abridged) H2 is the most abundant molecule in the Universe. Thanks to its widely spaced energy levels, it predominantly lights up in warm gas, T > 100 K, such as shocked regions,…

3D chemical structure of the diffuse turbulent ISM II -- Origin of CH, new solution to an 80 years mystery

Benjamin Godard, Guillaume Pineau Des Forêts, Patrick Hennebelle +2

Aims: The large abundances of CH in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) are a long standing issue of our understanding of the thermodynamical and chemical states of the gas.…

Gas condensation in Brightest Group Galaxies unveiled with MUSE

V. Olivares, P. Salome, S. L. Hamer +18

The origin of the cold gas in central galaxies in groups is still a matter of debate. We present Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations of 18 optically selected loca…

Extremely broad Lyman-alpha line emission from the molecular intra-group medium in Stephan's Quintet: evidence for a turbulent cascade in a highly clumpy multi-phase medium?

P. Guillard, P. N Appleton, F. Boulanger +8

We present Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS) UV line spectroscopy and integral-field unit (IFU) observations of the intra-group medium in Stephan's Quintet (S…
