Structure of photodissociation fronts in star-forming regions revealed by observations of high-J CO emission lines with Herschel

C. Joblin, E. Bron, C. Pinto +17

In bright photodissociation regions (PDRs) associated to massive star formation, the presence of dense "clumps" that are immersed in a less dense interclump medium is often propose…

The Spatial Variation of the Cooling Lines in the Reflection Nebula NGC7023

J. Bernard-Salas, E. Habart, M. Köhler +7

Context: The north-west photo-dissociation region (PDR) in the reflection nebula NGC 7023 displays a complex structure. Filament-like condensations at the edge of the cloud can be…

Age, size, and position of H ii regions in the Galaxy. Expansion of ionized gas in turbulent molecular clouds

P. Tremblin, L. D. Anderson, P. Didelon +8

This work aims at improving the current understanding of the interaction between H ii regions and turbulent molecular clouds. We propose a new method to determine the age of a larg…

Reflection and dissipation of Alfvén waves in interstellar clouds

C. Pinto, A. Verdini, D. Galli +1

Context: Supersonic nonthermal motions in molecular clouds are often interpreted as long-lived magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. The propagation and amplitude of these waves is affe…

Surface chemistry in the interstellar medium - I - H2 formation by Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal mechanisms

Jacques Le Bourlot, Franck Le Petit, Cecilia Pinto +2

H2 formation remains a major issue for the understanding of interstellar physics. We investigate H2 formation in the interstellar medium at the light of the most recent experimenta…

Three-fluid plasmas in star formation II. Momentum transfer rate coefficients

Cecilia Pinto, Daniele Galli

The charged component of the insterstellar medium consists of atomic and molecular ions, electrons, and charged dust grains, coupled to the local Galactic magnetic field. Collision…
