Modelling methanol and hydride formation in the JWST Ice Age era
Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Andrés Megías, Joseph Salaris +19
(Abridged) JWST observations have measured the ice composition toward two highly-extinguished field stars in the Chamaeleon I cloud. The observed extinction excess on the long-wave…
HIFISTARS Herschel/HIFI observations of VY Canis Majoris. Molecular-line inventory of the envelope around the largest known star
J. Alcolea, V. Bujarrabal, P. Planesas +16
To gain insight into the physical conditions and kinematics of the warm (100-1000 K) gas around the red hyper-giant VY CMa, we performed sensitive high spectral resolution observat…
Herschel/HIFI observations of O-rich AGB stars : molecular inventory
K. Justtanont, T. Khouri, M. Maercker +15
Spectra, taken with the heterodyne instrument, HIFI, aboard the Herschel Space Observatory, of O-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars which form part of the guaranteed time key…
Herschel/HIFI observations of molecular emission in protoplanetary nebulae and young planetary nebulae
V. Bujarrabal, J. Alcolea, R. Soria-Ruiz +1
We performed Herschel/HIFI observations of intermediate-excitation molecular lines in the far-infrared/submillimeter range in a sample of ten protoplanetary nebulae and young plane…
Herschel/HIFI deepens the circumstellar NH3 enigma
K. M. Menten, F. Wyrowski, J. Alcolea +23
Circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of a variety of evolved stars have been found to contain ammonia (NH3) in amounts that exceed predictions from conventional chemical models by many o…
Herschel/HIFI observations of high-J CO transitions in the protoplanetary nebula CRL618
V. Bujarrabal, J. Alcolea, R. Soria-Ruiz +25
We performed Herschel/HIFI observations of several CO lines in the far-infrared/sub-mm in the protoplanetary nebula CRL618. The high spectral resolution provided by HIFI allows mea…
Discovery of water vapour in the carbon star V Cygni from observations with Herschel/HIFI
D. A. Neufeld, E. González-Alfonso, G. Melnick +25
We report the discovery of water vapour toward the carbon star V Cygni. We have used Herschel's HIFI instrument, in dual beam switch mode, to observe the 1(11) - 0(00) para-water t…
Water content and wind acceleration in the envelope around the oxygen-rich AGB star IK Tau as seen by Herschel/HIFI
L. Decin, K. Justtanont, E. De Beck +4
During their asymptotic giant branch, evolution low-mass stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through an intense wind, enriching the interstellar medium with products of…
Polarisation Observations of VY Canis Majoris Water Vapour 5{32}-4{41} 620.701 GHz Maser Emission with HIFI
Martin Harwit, Martin Houde, Paule Sonnentrucker +26
CONTEXT: Water vapour maser emission from evolved oxygen-rich stars remains poorly understood. Additional observations, including polarisation studies and simultaneous observation…
Worlds Beyond: A Strategy for the Detection and Characterization of Exoplanets
J. I. Lunine, D. Fischer, H. Hammel +13
This is a scientific strategy for the detection and characterization of extrasolar planets; that is, planets orbiting other stars. As such, it maps out over a 15-year horizon the t…
