First detection of a deuterated molecule in a starburst environment within NGC 253

J. Butterworth, S. Martín, V. M. Rivilla +7

Deuterium was primarily created during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). This fact, alongside its fractionation reactions resulting in enhanced abundances of deuterated molecules…

The ALCHEMI atlas: principal component analysis reveals starburst evolution in NGC 253

Nanase Harada, David S. Meier, Sergio Martín +24

Molecular lines are powerful diagnostics of the physical and chemical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM). These ISM properties, which affect future star formation, are exp…

Structure of the W3A Low Density Foreground Region

Paul F. Goldsmith, William D. Langer, Youngmin Seo +5

We present analysis of OI 63 micron and CO = 5-4 and 8-7 multi-position data in the W3A region and use it to develop a model for the extended low-density foreground gas that pr…

Reconstructing the shock history in the CMZ of NGC 253 with ALCHEMI

K. -Y. Huang, S. Viti, J. Holdship +19

HNCO and SiO are well known shock tracers and have been observed in nearby galaxies, including the nearby (D=3.5 Mpc) starburst galaxy NGC 253. The simultaneous detection of these…

Searching for converging flows of atomic gas onto a molecular cloud

Mark Heyer, Paul F. Goldsmith, Robert Simon +2

We present new observations of [CII] fine structure line emission from an isolated molecular cloud using the upGREAT instrument onboard SOFIA. These data are analyzed together with…

Phosphine in the Venusian Atmosphere: A Strict Upper Limit from SOFIA GREAT Observations

M. A. Cordiner, G. L. Villanueva, H. Wiesemeyer +13

The presence of phosphine (PH) in the atmosphere of Venus was reported by Greaves et al. (2021a), based on observations of the J=1-0 transition at 267 GHz using ground-based, m…
