Excitation of H_2 and HD in shocks and PDRs
F. Bertoldi, B. T. Draine, D. Rosenthal +5
Photodissociation regions (PDRs) and shocks give rise to conspicuous emission from rotationally and vibrationally excited molecular hydrogen. This line emission has now been studie…
ISO-SWS Observations of OMC-1: H_2 and Fine Structure Lines
Dirk Rosenthal, Frank Bertoldi, Siegfried Drapatz
Using the Short-Wavelength-Spectrometer on the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), we obtained near- and mid-infrared spectra toward the brightest H_2 emission peak of the Orion OMC-…
Infrared spectroscopy of young supernova remnants heavily interacting with the interstellar medium
E. Oliva, A. F. M. Moorwood, S. Drapatz +2
ISO spectral observations of the supernova remnant RCW103 are presented. This object is the prototype of relatively young remnants with fast shocks interacting with dense interstel…
ISO-SWS spectroscopy of IC443 and the origin of the IRAS 12 and 25 micron emission from radiative supernova remnants
E. Oliva, D. Lutz, S. Drapatz +1
ISO-SWS spectral observations of the supernova remnant IC443 are presented. Like other radiative SNRs, this object is characterized by prominent line-emitting filaments and relativ…
