LMC+: Large-scale mapping of [CII] and [OIII] in the LMC molecular ridge, I. Dataset and line ratio analyses
C. Fischer, S. C. Madden, A. Krabbe +29
The fundamental process of star formation in galaxies involves the interplay between the fueling of star formation via molecular gas and the feedback from recently formed massive s…
Full disc [CII] mapping of nearby star-forming galaxies: SOFIA FIFI/LS observations of NGC 3627, NGC 4321, and NGC 6946
I. Kovačić, A. T. Barnes, F. Bigiel +20
As a major cooling line of interstellar gas, the far-infrared 158 μm line from singly ionised carbon [CII] is an important tracer of various components of the interstellar medium i…
Characterization and Absolute Calibration of the Far Infrared Field Integral Line Spectrometer for SOFIA
Dario Fadda, Sebastian Colditz, Christian Fischer +7
We present the characterization and definitive flux calibration of the Far-Infrared Field Integral Line Spectrometer (FIFI-LS) instrument on-board SOFIA. The work is based on measu…
The PDR fronts in M17-SW localized with FIFI-LS onboard SOFIA
Randolf Klein, Alexander Reedy, Christian Fischer +5
To understand star formation rates, studying feedback mechanisms that regulate star formation is necessary. The radiation emitted by nascent massive stars play a significant role i…
SOFIA observations of far-IR fine-structure lines in galaxies to measure metallicity
Luigi Spinoglio, Juan Antonio Fernandez-Ontiveros, Matthew A. Malkan +8
We present new and archival SOFIA FIFI-LS far-IR spectroscopic observations of 25 local galaxies of either the [OIII]52um and/or the [NIII]57um lines. Including other 31 galaxies f…
Probing the atmospheric precipitable water vapor with SOFIA, Part I, Measurements of the water vapor overburden with FIFI-LS
C. Fischer, C. Iserlohe, W. Vacca +4
We report on the measurements of telluric water vapor made with the instrument FIFI-LS on SOFIA. Since November 2018, FIFI-LS has measured the water vapor overburden with the same…
SOFIA/FIFI-LS Full-disk [CII] Mapping and CO-dark Molecular Gas across the Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 6946
F. Bigiel, I. de Looze, A. Krabbe +17
We present SOFIA/FIFI-LS observations of the [CII] 158m cooling line across the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946. We combine these with UV, IR, CO, and H I data to compare [CII] em…
