On volume density and star formation in nearby molecular clouds
Jan H. Orkisz, Jouni Kainulainen
Volume density is a key physical quantity controlling the evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM) and star formation, but it cannot be accessed directly by observations of molec…
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…
Bias versus variance when fitting multi-species molecular lines with a non-LTE radiative transfer model
Antoine Roueff, Jérôme Pety, Maryvonne Gerin +28
Robust radiative transfer techniques are requisite for efficiently extracting the physical and chemical information from molecular rotational lines.We study several hypotheses that…
The magnetic field in the Flame nebula
Ivana Bešlić, Simon Coudé, Dariusz C. Lis +14
Star formation is essential in galaxy evolution and the cycling of matter. The support of interstellar clouds against gravitational collapse by magnetic (B-) fields has been propos…
