Chemical diversity of dense cores in Orion B: The role of the environment
Helena J. Mazurek, Maryvonne Gerin, Pierre Gratier +26
Prestellar cores are the sites of the earliest stages of star formation. Dust continuum observations are often used to identify and characterize their properties yet only a small f…
Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Estimating the dense gas mass of molecular clouds using spatially unresolved 3 mm line observations
Antoine Zakardjian, Annie Hughes, Jérôme Pety +28
We aim to develop a new method to infer the sub-beam probability density function (PDF) of H2 column densities and the dense gas mass within molecular clouds using spatially unreso…
Tracers of the ionization fraction in dense and translucent molecular gas: II. Using mm observations to constrain ionization fraction across Orion B
Ivana BeÅ¡liÄ, Maryvonne Gerin, Viviana V. Guzmán +28
The ionization fraction () is a crucial parameter of interstellar gas, yet estimating it requires deep knowledge of molecular gas chemistry…
Time and covariance smoothing for restoration of bivariate signals
Yusuf Yigit Pilavci, Pierre Palud, Julien Flamant +3
In many applications and physical phenomena, bivariate signals are polarized, i.e. they trace an elliptical trajectory over time when viewed in the 2D planes of their two component…
Beetroots: spatially-regularized Bayesian inference of physical parameter maps -- Application to Orion
Pierre Palud, Emeric Bron, Pierre Chainais +28
The current generation of millimeter receivers is able to produce cubes of 800 000 pixels by 200 000 frequency channels to cover several square degrees over the 3 mm atmospheric wi…
