Globules and pillars in Cygnus X IV. Velocity-resolved [OI] 63 mu map of a peculiar proplyd-like object
N. Schneider, S. Dannhauer, E. Keilmann +14
We investigated an isolated, globule-shaped object (0.37x0.11 pc), located near the centre of the Cygnus OB2 cluster and named proplyd #7 in optical observations. The source can be…
The Diamond Ring in Cygnus X: Advanced stage of an expanding bubble of ionised carbon
Simon M. Dannhauer, Sebastian Vider, Nicola Schneider +18
The "Diamond Ring" in Cygnus X, southwest of the DR21 ridge, is a nearly circular structure of 6 pc in diameter, prominent in FIR emission and enclosed by clumpy molecular cl…
First detection of the [CII] 158 micron line in the intermediate-velocity cloud Draco
N. Schneider, V. Ossenkopf-Okada, E. Keilmann +7
High-latitude intermediate-velocity clouds (IVCs) are part of the Milky Way's HI halo and originate from either a galactic fountain process or extragalactic gas infall. They are pa…
Ionized carbon as a tracer of the assembly of interstellar clouds
Nicola Schneider, Lars Bonne, Sylvain Bontemps +9
Molecular hydrogen clouds are a key component of the interstellar medium because they are the birthplaces for stars. They are embedded in atomic gas that pervades the interstellar…
Formation of the Musca filament: Evidence for asymmetries in the accretion flow due to a cloud-cloud collision
L. Bonne, S. Bontemps, N. Schneider +11
Context. Dense molecular filaments are ubiquituous in the interstellar medium, yet their internal physical conditions and formation mechanism remain debated. Aims. We study the kin…
The Inception of Star Cluster Formation Revealed by [CII] Emission Around an Infrared Dark Cloud
Thomas G. Bisbas, Jonathan C. Tan, Timea Csengeri +6
We present SOFIA-upGREAT observations of [CII] emission of Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) G035.39-00.33, designed to trace its atomic gas envelope and thus test models of the origins o…
Disentangling the ISM phases of the dwarf galaxy NGC 4214 using [CII] SOFIA/GREAT observations
Katja Fahrion, Diane Cormier, Frank Bigiel +9
The [CII] 158 um fine structure line is one of the dominant cooling lines in the interstellar medium (ISM) and is an important tracer of star formation. Recent velocity-resolved st…
Understanding star formation in molecular clouds III. Probability distribution functions of molecular lines in Cygnus X
N. Schneider, S. Bontemps, F. Motte +11
Column density (N) PDFs serve as a powerful tool to characterize the physical processes that influence the structure of molecular clouds. Star-forming clouds can best be characteri…
Understanding star formation in molecular clouds II. Signatures of gravitational collapse of IRDCs
N. Schneider, T. Csengeri, R. S. Klessen +6
We analyse column density and temperature maps derived from Herschel dust continuum observations of a sample of massive infrared dark clouds (G11.11-0.12, G18.82-0.28, G28.37+0.07,…
