H2CO in the Horsehead PDR: Photo-desorption of dust grain ice mantles

V. Guzmán, J. Pety, J. R. Goicoechea +2

Aims: For the first time we investigate the role of the grain surface chemistry in the Horsehead Photo-dissociation region (PDR). Methods: We performed deep observations of several…

Herschel Measurements of Molecular Oxygen in Orion

Paul F. Goldsmith, Rene Liseau, Tom A. Bell +31

We report observations of three rotational transitions of molecular oxygen (O2) in emission from the H2 Peak 1 position of vibrationally excited molecular hydrogen in Orion. We obs…

OH emission from warm and dense gas in the Orion Bar PDR

J. R. Goicoechea, C. Joblin, A. Contursi +7

As part of a far-infrared (FIR) spectral scan with Herschel/PACS, we present the first detection of the hydroxyl radical (OH) towards the Orion Bar photodissociation region (PDR).…

Herschel observations of Extra-Ordinary Sources: Methanol as a probe of physical conditions in Orion KL

S. Wang, E. A. Bergin, N. R. Crockett +45

We have examined methanol emission from Orion KL with of the {\em Herschel}/HIFI instrument, and detected two methanol bands centered at 524 GHz and 1061 GHz. The 524 GHz methanol…
