H2 emission in the Orion Bar, NGC7023 and the Horsehead Nebula observed with the James Webb Space Telescope
M. Zannese, A. Sidhu, A. Guerras +25
Molecular hydrogen (H2), the most abundant molecule in the interstellar medium, is a handy tool to study Photodissociation Regions. The JWST, with its high spatial resolution, sens…
Searching for the elusive CH2+ with the James Webb Space Telescope. Another carbocation to constrain astrochemical networks
M. Zannese, L. H. Coudert, E. Dartois +14
Carbocations are key species in interstellar chemistry, providing entry points for building larger hydrocarbons. CH+, and more recently, CH3+, have been detected. Other carbocation…
JWST observations of photodissociation regions. IV. Carbonaceous emission band sub-components in NGC 7023 have distinct spatial distributions

We analyze JWST spectroscopy of the northwest filament of NGC7023, where the relatively soft radiation field results in a photodissociation region with an extended atomic hydrogen…
ALMA-IMF XXII. Role of core subfragmentation in the IMF origin: Hierarchical fragmentation cascade and CMF in W43-MM1
F. Motte, N. Le Nestour, R. Veyry +29
We aim to predict how the currently observed top-heavy CMF in the massive protocluster W43-MM1 evolves due to core subfragmentation. We used getsf to extract sources in 5 ALMA imag…
JWST observations of photodissociation regions III. Dust modelling at the illuminated edge of the Horsehead PDR
M. Elyajouri, A. Abergel, N. Ysard +19
Carbonaceous nano-grains are a significant component of interstellar dust and dominate the mid-infrared emission of photodissociation regions (PDRs). We study the evolution of nano…
JWST observations of photodissociation regions: II. Warm molecular Hydrogen spectroscopy in the Horsehead nebula
M. Zannese, P. Guillard, A. Abergel +16
H2 is the most abundant molecule in the interstellar medium and is a useful tool to study photodissociation regions, where radiative feedback from massive stars on molecular clouds…
JWST Observations of Photo-dissociation Regions. II. Aliphatic/Aromatic Carbonaceous Dust, Ices, and Gas Phase Spectral Line Inventory
K. Misselt, A. N. Witt, K. D. Gordon +10
This paper provides an overview of the spectroscopic data obtained by the JWST Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) program 1192, "The Physics and Chemistry of PDR Fronts", including…
ALMA-IMF XVII -- Census and lifetime of high-mass prestellar cores in 14 massive protoclusters
M. Valeille-Manet, S. Bontemps, T. Csengeri +24
High-mass prestellar cores are extremely rare. The search for such objects has long been hindered by small sample sizes, leading to large uncertainties in their lifetimes and the c…
ALMA-IMF XVI: Mass-averaged temperature of cores and protostellar luminosities in the ALMA-IMF protoclusters
F. Motte, Y. Pouteau, T. Nony +34
ALMA-IMF imaged 15 massive protoclusters down to a resolution of of 2 kau scales, identifying about 1000 star-forming cores. The mass and luminosity of these cores, which are funda…
ALMA-IMF XV: The core mass function in the high-mass star-formation regime
F. Louvet, P. Sanhueza, A. Stutz +38
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is critical to our understanding of star formation and the effects of young stars on their environment. On large scales, it enables us to us…
ALMA-IMF XII: Point-process mapping of 15 massive protoclusters
P. Dell'Ova, F. Motte, A. Gusdorf +29
A crucial aspect in addressing the challenge of measuring the core mass function, that is pivotal for comprehending the origin of the initial mass function, lies in constraining th…
ALMA-IMF XIV: Free-Free Templates Derived from H and Ionized Gas Content in Fifteen Massive Protoclusters
Roberto Galván-Madrid, Daniel J. Díaz-González, Frédérique Motte +25
We use the H recombination line to create templates of the millimeter free-free emission in the ALMA-IMF continuum maps, which allows to separate it from dust emission. This m…
ALMA-IMF XI: The sample of hot core candidates A rich population of young high-mass proto-stars unveiled by the emission of methyl formate
M. Bonfand, T. Csengeri, S. Bontemps +28
Sites associated with high-mass star and cluster formation exhibit a so-called hot core phase, characterized by high temperatures and column densities of complex organic molecules.…
