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…

SOFIA FIFI-LS spectroscopy of DR21 Main: energetics of the spatially-resolved outflow from a high-mass protostar

A. Karska, M. Figueira, A. Mirocha +12

Massive star formation is associated with energetic processes that may influence the physics and chemistry of parental molecular clouds and impact galaxy evolution. The high-mass p…

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…

Infrared view of the multiphase ISM in NGC 253 II. Modelling the ionised and neutral atomic gas

André Beck, Vianney Lebouteiller, Suzanne C. Madden +9

Context. Multi-wavelength studies of galaxies and galactic nuclei allow us to build a relatively more complete picture of the interstellar medium (ISM), especially in the dusty reg…

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…

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…

Probing the hidden atomic gas in Class I jets with SOFIA

T. Sperling, J. Eislöffel, C. Fischer +3

We present SOFIA/FIFI-LS observations of five prototypical, low-mass Class I outflows (HH111, SVS13, HH26, HH34, HH30) in the far-infrared [OI]63mum and [OI]145mum transitions. The…

Status of the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)

R. D. Gehrz, E. E. Becklin, J. de Buizer +10

The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), a joint U.S./German project, is a 2.5-meter infrared airborne telescope carried by a Boeing 747-SP that flies in the s…
