H2 emission in the Orion Bar, NGC7023 and the Horsehead Nebula observed with the James Webb Space Telescope
M. Zannese, A. Sidhu, A. Guerras +25
Molecular hydrogen (H2), the most abundant molecule in the interstellar medium, is a handy tool to study Photodissociation Regions. The JWST, with its high spatial resolution, sens…
Sub-arcsecond imaging of HCN and CN in the Orion Bar. UV-driven warm Nitrogen chemistry in dense environments
M. Zannese, J. R. Goicoechea, S. Cuadrado +3
Rotationally excited HCN and CN lines, due to their high critical densities, are often used as tracers of gas densities. ALMA, with its high spectral and spatial resolution, provid…
Searching for the elusive CH2+ with the James Webb Space Telescope. Another carbocation to constrain astrochemical networks
M. Zannese, L. H. Coudert, E. Dartois +14
Carbocations are key species in interstellar chemistry, providing entry points for building larger hydrocarbons. CH+, and more recently, CH3+, have been detected. Other carbocation…
Velocity-resolved [O I] 63,145 um, [C II] 158 um, and OH mapping along the Orion BN/KL explosive outflow and irradiated shocks
J. R. Goicoechea, R. Güsten, B. Godard +6
Stellar mergers produce explosive outflows that serve as transient sources of IR line luminosity and inject mechanical energy early into the natal molecular cloud. We present the f…
JWST observations of photodissociation regions. IV. Carbonaceous emission band sub-components in NGC 7023 have distinct spatial distributions
D. Van De Putte, K. D. Gordon, K. Misselt +10
We analyze JWST spectroscopy of the northwest filament of NGC7023, where the relatively soft radiation field results in a photodissociation region with an extended atomic hydrogen…
PDRs4All XVII: Formation and excitation of HD in photodissociation regions. Application to the Orion Bar
Marion Zannese, Jacques Le Bourlot, Evelyne Roueff +12
The James Webb Space Telescope enabled the first detection of several rovibrational emission lines of HD in the Orion Bar, a prototypical photodissociation region. This provides an…
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 XV: CH radical and H molecular ion in the irradiated protoplanetary disk d203-506
I. Schroetter, O. Berné, J. R. Goicoechea +20
Most protoplanetary disks experience a phase in which they are subjected to strong ultraviolet radiation from nearby massive stars. This UV radiation can substantially alter their…
JWST Observations of Photo-dissociation Regions. II. Aliphatic/Aromatic Carbonaceous Dust, Ices, and Gas Phase Spectral Line Inventory
K. Misselt, A. N. Witt, K. D. Gordon +10
This paper provides an overview of the spectroscopic data obtained by the JWST Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) program 1192, "The Physics and Chemistry of PDR Fronts", including…
Solar C/O ratio in planet-forming gas at 1 au in a highly irradiated disk
Ilane Schroetter, Olivier Berné, Emeric Bron +18
The chemical composition of exoplanets is thought to be influenced by the composition of the disks in which they form. JWST observations have unveiled a variety of species in numer…
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…

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. X. ALMA and JWST detection of neutral carbon in the externally irradiated disk d203-506: Undepleted gas-phase carbon
Javier R. Goicoechea, J. Le Bourlot, J. H. Black +26
The gas-phase abundance of carbon, x_C = C/H, and its depletion factors are essential parameters for understanding the gas and solid compositions that are ultimately incorporated i…
PDRs4All VIII: Mid-IR emission line inventory of the Orion Bar
Dries Van De Putte, Raphael Meshaka, Boris Trahin +135
Mid-infrared emission features probe the properties of ionized gas, and hot or warm molecular gas. The Orion Bar is a frequently studied photodissociation region (PDR) containing l…
PDRs4All IX. Sulfur elemental abundance in the Orion Bar
Asunción Fuente, Evelyne Roueff, Franck Le Petit +31
One of the main problems in astrochemistry is determining the amount of sulfur in volatiles and refractories in the interstellar medium. The detection of the main sulfur reservoirs…
A far-ultraviolet-driven photoevaporation flow observed in a protoplanetary disk
Olivier Berné, Emilie Habart, Els Peeters +143
Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiati…
