The mid-infrared molecular inventory towards Orion IRc2

Sarah Nickerson, Naseem Rangwala, Sean W. J. Colgan +8

We present the first high spectral resolution mid-infrared survey in the Orion BN/KL region, covering 7.2 to 28.3 micron. With SOFIA/EXES we target the enigmatic source Orion IRc2.…

The First Mid-Infrared Detection of HNC in the Interstellar Medium: Probing the Extreme Environment Towards the Orion Hot Core

Sarah Nickerson, Naseem Rangwala, Sean Colgan +7

We present the first mid-infrared (MIR) detections of HNC and H13CN in the interstellar medium, and numerous, resolved HCN rovibrational transitions. Our observations span 12.8 to…

Observational evidence for rotational desorption of Complex Molecules by radiative torques from Orion BN/KL

Le Ngoc Tram, Hyeseung Lee, Thiem Hoang +5

Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) are believed to form in the ice mantle of dust grains and are released to the gas by thermal sublimation when grain mantles are heated to temperatu…

EDGE: the mass-metallicity relation as a critical test of galaxy formation physics

Oscar Agertz, Andrew Pontzen, Justin I. Read +7

We introduce the "Engineering Dwarfs at Galaxy formation's Edge" (EDGE) project to study the cosmological formation and evolution of the smallest galaxies in the Universe. In this…

The complete census of molecular hydrogen in a simulated disc galaxy

Sarah Nickerson, Romain Teyssier, Joakim Rosdahl

We present a multi-scale analysis of molecular hydrogen in a Milky Way-like simulated galaxy. Our census covers the gas content of the entire disc, to radial profiles and the Kenni…

A simple model for molecular hydrogen chemistry coupled to radiation hydrodynamics

Sarah Nickerson, Romain Teyssier, Joakim Rosdahl

We introduce non-equilibrium molecular hydrogen chemistry into the radiation hydrodynamics code Ramses-RT. This is an adaptive mesh refinement grid code with radiation hydrodynamic…
