Unveiling the enigma of the Nakashima-Deguchi object (IRAS 19312+1950): a candidate Orion KL analog
Y. Gong, K. M. Menten, T. KamiÅski +5
The Nakashima-Deguchi object (NDO; aka IRAS 19312+1950) has been recognized as an enigmatic object, exhibiting characteristics of both an evolved star and a star-forming region. Ho…
Oxygen in the protostellar clump OMC-2 FIR4
Jorma Harju, Paola Caselli, Rolf Güsten +6
Atomic oxygen (OI), OH, H2O, and CO are the main carriers of oxygen in dense interstellar gas and important coolants of shocks associated with protostellar outflows. We determine t…
A 1.3 cm spectral line study of the W33 region
Kadirya Tursun, Christian Henkel, Jarken Esimbek +14
At a distance of 2.4kpc, W33 is one of the most prolific sources of molecular line emission, and it is an excellent research target for a centimeter spectral line search. We carrie…
Class I CH3OH Maser Emission from Bar-Driven Inflow Colliding with the Central Molecular Zone
V. S. Veena, W. -J. Kim, P. Schilke +9
The Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way is shaped by the interplay of bar-driven inflows, shocks, and star formation. At Galactic longitude l=1.3, gas inflowing along the near-…
HyGAL: Characterizing the Galactic ISM with observations of hydrides and other small molecules. III. The absorption lines of [O I], CH, and OH
W. -J. Kim, A. M. Jacob, D. A. Neufeld +17
The HyGAL Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) legacy program aims at characterizing the interstellar medium in the Milky Way using hydrides, [C II], and [O I]…
Hunting pre-stellar cores with APEX: overview
P. Caselli, S. Spezzano, E. Redaelli +8
[Abridged] Pre-stellar cores are centrally concentrated starless cores on the verge of star formation and they represent the initial conditions for star and planet forma…
