Ammonia in the interstellar medium of a starbursting disc at z=2.6
M. J. Doherty, J. E. Geach, R. J. Ivison +4
We report the detection of the ground state rotational emission of ammonia, ortho-NH in a gravitationally lensed, intrinsically hyperluminous, star-bu…
HyGAL: Characterizing the Galactic ISM with observations of hydrides and other small molecules -- I. Survey description and a first look toward W3(OH), W3 IRS5 and NGC 7538 IRS1
A. M. Jacob, D. A. Neufeld, P. Schilke +22
The HyGAL SOFIA legacy program surveys six hydride molecules -- ArH+, OH+, H2O+, SH, OH, and CH -- and two atomic constituents -- C+ and O -- within the diffuse interstellar medium…
The chemistry of chlorine-bearing species in the diffuse interstellar medium, and new SOFIA/GREAT observations of HCl
David A. Neufeld, Helmut Wiesemeyer, Mark J. Wolfire +6
We have revisited the chemistry of chlorine-bearing species in the diffuse interstellar medium with new observations of the HCl molecular ion and new astrochemical models. Usin…
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…
The CH radical at radio wavelengths: Revisiting emission in the 3.3GHz ground state lines
Arshia M. Jacob, Karl M. Menten, Helmut Wiesemeyer +1
The intensities of the three widely observed radio-wavelength hyperfine structure (HFS) lines between the Λ-doublet components of the rotational ground state of CH are inconsistent…
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…
