JWST observations of photodissociation regions III. Dust modelling at the illuminated edge of the Horsehead PDR
M. Elyajouri, A. Abergel, N. Ysard +19
Carbonaceous nano-grains are a significant component of interstellar dust and dominate the mid-infrared emission of photodissociation regions (PDRs). We study the evolution of nano…
JWST observations of photodissociation regions: II. Warm molecular Hydrogen spectroscopy in the Horsehead nebula
M. Zannese, P. Guillard, A. Abergel +16
H2 is the most abundant molecule in the interstellar medium and is a useful tool to study photodissociation regions, where radiative feedback from massive stars on molecular clouds…
PDRs4All. XII. FUV-driven formation of hydrocarbon radicals and their relation with PAHs
J. R. Goicoechea, J. Pety, S. Cuadrado +25
We present subarcsecond-resolution ALMA mosaics of the Orion Bar PDR in [CI] 609um, C2H (4-3), and C18O (3-2) emission lines complemented by JWST images of H2 and aromatic infrared…
PDRs4All XI. Detection of infrared CH and CH rovibrational emission in the Orion Bar and disk d203-506: evidence of chemical pumping
Marion Zannese, Benoît Tabone, Emilie Habart +20
The methylidyne cation (CH) and the methyl cation (CH) are building blocks of organic molecules, yet their coupled formation and excitation mechanisms remain mainly unpro…
PDRs4All XIII. Empirical prescriptions for the interpretation of JWST imaging observations of star-forming regions
Ryan Chown, Yoko Okada, Els Peeters +17
(Abridged) JWST continues to deliver incredibly detailed infrared (IR) images of star forming regions in the Milky Way and beyond. IR emission from star-forming regions is very spe…
