Physical conditions in PDRs revealed by IGRINS ro-vibrational H2 observations
Aurélien Piluso, Vincent Maillard, Raphael Meshaka +10
We compare H2 high ro-vibrational observations of 5 PDRs (S140, IC63, Horsehead Nebula, NGC 2023 and Orion Bar) obtained with the IGRINS spectrograph to PDR models produced with th…
Chemical diversity of dense cores in Orion B: The role of the environment
Helena J. Mazurek, Maryvonne Gerin, Pierre Gratier +26
Prestellar cores are the sites of the earliest stages of star formation. Dust continuum observations are often used to identify and characterize their properties yet only a small f…
Tracers of the ionization fraction in dense and translucent molecular gas: II. Using mm observations to constrain ionization fraction across Orion B
Ivana Bešlić, Maryvonne Gerin, Viviana V. Guzmán +28
The ionization fraction () is a crucial parameter of interstellar gas, yet estimating it requires deep knowledge of molecular gas chemistry…
Estimating the dense gas mass of molecular clouds using spatially unresolved 3 mm line observations
Antoine Zakardjian, Annie Hughes, Jérôme Pety +28
We aim to develop a new method to infer the sub-beam probability density function (PDF) of H2 column densities and the dense gas mass within molecular clouds using spatially unreso…
Toward a robust physical and chemical characterization of heterogeneous lines of sight: The case of the Horsehead nebula
Léontine Ségal, Antoine Roueff, Jérôme Pety +28
Dense cold molecular cores/filaments are surrounded by an envelope of translucent gas. Some of the low-J emission lines of CO and HCO isotopologues are more sensitive to the co…
Quantifying the informativity of emission lines to infer physical conditions in giant molecular clouds. I. Application to model predictions
Lucas Einig, Pierre Palud, Antoine Roueff +29
Observations of ionic, atomic, or molecular lines are performed to improve our understanding of the interstellar medium (ISM). However, the potential of a line to constrain the phy…
Bias versus variance when fitting multi-species molecular lines with a non-LTE radiative transfer model
Antoine Roueff, Jérôme Pety, Maryvonne Gerin +28
Robust radiative transfer techniques are requisite for efficiently extracting the physical and chemical information from molecular rotational lines.We study several hypotheses that…
HCN emission from translucent gas and UV-illuminated cloud edges revealed by wide-field IRAM 30m maps of Orion B GMC: Revisiting its role as tracer of the dense gas reservoir for star formation
M. G. Santa-Maria, J. R. Goicoechea, J. Pety +28
We present 5 deg^2 (~250 pc^2) HCN, HNC, HCO+, and CO J=1-0 maps of the Orion B GMC, complemented with existing wide-field [CI] 492 GHz maps, as well as new pointed observations of…
Neural network-based emulation of interstellar medium models
Pierre Palud, Lucas Einig, Franck Le Petit +22
The interpretation of observations of atomic and molecular tracers in the galactic and extragalactic interstellar medium (ISM) requires comparisons with state-of-the-art astrophysi…
Gas kinematics around filamentary structures in the Orion B cloud
Mathilde Gaudel, Jan H. Orkisz, Maryvonne Gerin +27
Understanding the initial properties of star-forming material and how they affect the star formation process is key. From an observational point of view, the feedback from young hi…
