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…

W. -J. Kim, A. M. Jacob, D. A. Neufeld +17
The HyGAL Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) legacy program aims at characterizing the interstellar medium in the Milky Way using hydrides, [C II], and [O I]…
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…
Deuterium fractionation of a distant cold dark cloud along the line of sight of W51
C. Vastel, B. Mookerjea, J. Pety +1
Herschel/HIFI observations toward the compact HII region W51 has revealed the presence of a cold dense core along its line of sight in a high-velocity stream located just in front…
The first CO+ image: Probing the HI/H2 layer around the ultracompact HII region Mon R2
S. P. Trevino-Morales, A. Fuente, A. Sanchez-Monge +12
The CO+ reactive ion is thought to be a tracer of the boundary between a HII region and the hot molecular gas. In this study, we present the spatial distribution of the CO+ rotatio…
Velocity-resolved [CII] emission and [CII]/FIR Mapping along Orion with Herschel
J. R. Goicoechea, D. Teyssier, M. Etxaluze +22
We present the first 7.5'x11.5' velocity-resolved map of the [CII]158um line toward the Orion molecular cloud-1 (OMC-1) taken with the Herschel/HIFI instrument. In combination with…
[CII] absorption and emission in the diffuse interstellar medium across the Galactic Plane
M. Gerin, M. Ruaud, J. R. Goicoechea +10
Ionized carbon is the main gas-phase reservoir of carbon in the neutral diffuse interstellar medium and its 158 micron fine structure transition [CII] is the most important cooling…
Physical structure of the photodissociation regions in NGC 7023. Observations of gas and dust emission with Herschel
M. Köhler, E. Habart, H. Arab +16
The determination of the physical conditions in molecular clouds is a key step towards our understanding of their formation and evolution of associated star formation. We investiga…
Ubiquitous argonium (ArH) in the diffuse interstellar medium -- a molecular tracer of almost purely atomic gas
Peter Schilke, David A. Neufeld, Holger S. P. Müller +14
We describe the assignment of a previously unidentified interstellar absorption line to ArH and discuss its relevance in the context of hydride absorption in diffuse gas with a…
Detection of a dense clump in a filament interacting with W51e2
B. Mookerjea, C. Vastel, G. E. Hassel +8
In the framework of the Herschel/PRISMAS Guaranteed Time Key Program, the line of sight to the distant ultracompact HII region W51e2 has been observed using several selected molecu…
Kinematics of the ionized-to-neutral interfaces in Monoceros R2
P. Pilleri, A. Fuente, M. Gerin +10
Context. Monoceros R2 (Mon R2), at a distance of 830 pc, is the only ultra-compact H ii region (UC H ii) where its associated photon-dominated region (PDR) can be resolved with the…
The chemistry of C3 & Carbon Chain Molecules in DR21(OH)
B. Mookerjea, G. Hassel, M. Gerin +14
(Abridged) We have observed velocity resolved spectra of four ro-vibrational far-infrared transitions of C3 between the vibrational ground state and the low-energy nu2 bending mode…
OH emission from warm and dense gas in the Orion Bar PDR
J. R. Goicoechea, C. Joblin, A. Contursi +7
As part of a far-infrared (FIR) spectral scan with Herschel/PACS, we present the first detection of the hydroxyl radical (OH) towards the Orion Bar photodissociation region (PDR).…
Gas morphology and energetics at the surface of PDRs: new insights with Herschel observations of NGC 7023

We investigate the physics and chemistry of the gas and dust in dense photon-dominated regions (PDRs), along with their dependence on the illuminating UV field. Using Herschel-HIFI…
