PDRs4All XIX. The 6 to 9 m region as a probe of PAH charge and size in the Orion Bar

Baria Khan, Samuel A. Daza Rodriguez, Els Peeters +24

Infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) play a major role in determining the charge balance of their host environments that include photo-dissociation region…

PDRs4All XVI. Tracing aromatic infrared band characteristics in photodissociation region spectra with PAHFIT in the JWST era

Dries Van De Putte, Els Peeters, Karl D. Gordon +13

Photodissociation regions (PDRs) exhibit emission between 3-20 um known as the Aromatic Infrared Bands (AIBs), originating from small carbonaceous species such as polycyclic aromat…

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…

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…

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…

Formation of the Methyl Cation by Photochemistry in a Protoplanetary Disk

Olivier Berné, Marie-Aline Martin-Drumel, Ilane Schroetter +53

Forty years ago it was proposed that gas phase organic chemistry in the interstellar medium was initiated by the methyl cation CH3+, but hitherto it has not been observed outside t…

OH as a probe of the warm water cycle in planet-forming disks

Marion Zannese, Benoît Tabone, Emilie Habart +52

Water is a key ingredient for the emergence of life as we know it. Yet, its destruction and reformation in space remains unprobed in warm gas. Here, we detect the hydroxyl radical…

PDRs4All III: JWST's NIR spectroscopic view of the Orion Bar

Els Peeters, Emilie Habart, Olivier Berne +135

(Abridged) We investigate the impact of radiative feedback from massive stars on their natal cloud and focus on the transition from the HII region to the atomic PDR (crossing the i…

PDRs4All IV. An embarrassment of riches: Aromatic infrared bands in the Orion Bar

Ryan Chown, Ameek Sidhu, Els Peeters +136

(Abridged) Mid-infrared observations of photodissociation regions (PDRs) are dominated by strong emission features called aromatic infrared bands (AIBs). The most prominent AIBs ar…

PDRs4All II: JWST's NIR and MIR imaging view of the Orion Nebula

Emilie Habart, Els Peeters, Olivier Berné +139

The JWST has captured the most detailed and sharpest infrared images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star formation region, and a prototypic…

PDRs4All: A JWST Early Release Science Program on radiative feedback from massive stars

Olivier Berné, Émilie Habart, Els Peeters +134

Massive stars disrupt their natal molecular cloud material through radiative and mechanical feedback processes. These processes have profound effects on the evolution of interstell…
