Quantitative inference of the column densities from 3 mm molecular emission: A case study towards Orion B
Pierre Gratier, Jérôme Pety, Emeric Bron +21
Molecular hydrogen being unobservable in cold molecular clouds, the column density measurements of molecular gas currently rely either on dust emission observation in the far-IR or…

Tracers of the ionization fraction in dense and translucent gas: I. Automated exploitation of massive astrochemical model grids
Emeric Bron, Evelyne Roueff, Maryvonne Gerin +21
The ionization fraction plays a key role in the physics and chemistry of the neutral interstellar medium, from controlling the coupling of the gas to the magnetic field to allowing…

C18O, 13CO, and 12CO abundances and excitation temperatures in the Orion B molecular cloud: An analysis of the precision achievable when modeling spectral line within the Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium approximation
Antoine Roueff, Maryvonne Gerin, Pierre Gratier +23
CO isotopologue transitions are routinely observed in molecular clouds to probe the column density of the gas, the elemental ratios of carbon and oxygen, and to trace the kinematic…
