SOFIA/EXES observations of warm H2 at high spectral resolution: II. IC443C, NGC2071, and 3C391
David A. Neufeld, Curtis DeWitt, Pierre Lesaffre +4
Using the EXES instrument on SOFIA, we have obtained velocity-resolved spectra of several pure rotational lines of H2 toward shocked molecular gas within three Galactic sources: th…

JWST/MIRI detection of suprathermal OH rotational emissions: probing the dissociation of the water by Lyman alpha photons near the protostar HOPS 370
David A. Neufeld, P. Manoj, Himanshu Tyagi +22
Using the MIRI/MRS spectrometer on JWST, we have detected pure rotational, suprathermal OH emissions from the vicinity of the intermediate-mass protostar HOPS 370 (OMC2/FIR3). Thes…

JWST detection of extremely excited outflowing CO and H2O in VV 114 E SW: a possible rapidly accreting IMBH
Eduardo González-Alfonso, Ismael García-Bernete, Miguel Pereira-Santaella +3
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) gas-phase molecular bands are powerful diagnostics of the warm interstellar medium. We report the James Webb Space Telescope detection of the CO v=1-0 (4.4-5.…
