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…

Evidence for electron spin-torsion coupling in the rotational spectrum of the CHCO radical
Laurent H. Coudert, Olivier Pirali, Marie-Aline Martin-Drumel +4
Open-shell non-rigid molecular systems exhibiting an internal rotation are likely candidates for a coupling between the spin angular momentum of the unpaired electron and the torsi…

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…
