Velocity-resolved [O I] 63,145 um, [C II] 158 um, and OH mapping along the Orion BN/KL explosive outflow and irradiated shocks

J. R. Goicoechea, R. Güsten, B. Godard +6

Stellar mergers produce explosive outflows that serve as transient sources of IR line luminosity and inject mechanical energy early into the natal molecular cloud. We present the f…

Space as a spectroscopic laboratory: High-resolution spectroscopy of the [C II] hyperfine structure with SOFIA/upGREAT

S. Kabanovic, V. Ossenkopf-Okada, S. Schlemmer +13

The [C II] emission at 158 m is a key cooling line of the interstellar medium and traces gas kinematics in spectrally resolved observations. Its spectral profile is often…

SOFIA/upGREAT imaging spectroscopy of the [C II] 158 um fine structure line toward the Sgr A region in the Galactic center

A. I. Harris, R. Güsten, M. A. Requena-Torres +8

We present SOFIA/upGREAT velocity-resolved spectral imaging and analysis of the 158 um [C II] spectral line toward the central 80 by 43\,pc region of the Central Molecular Zone of…

CO outflows from young stars in the NGC2023 cluster

G. Sandell, B. Mookerjea, R. Güsten

Young early-type HAeBe stars are still embedded in the molecular clouds in which they formed. They illuminate reflection nebulae, which shape the surrounding molecular cloud and ma…

Constraining the geometry of the reflection nebula NGC 2023 with [O I]: Emission & Absorption

Bhaswati Mookerjea, Goeran Sandell, Rolf Guesten +3

We have mapped the NGC 2023 reflection nebula in the 63 and 145 micron transitions of [O I] and the 158 micron [C II] spectral lines using the heterodyne receiver upGREAT on SOFIA.…

Physics and Chemistry of Radiation Driven Cloud Evolution. [C II] Kinematics of IC 59 and IC 63

Miranda Caputo, Archana Soam, B-G Andersson +5

We used high-resolution [C II] 158 m mapping of two nebulae IC 59 and IC 63 from SOFIA/upGREAT in conjunction with ancillary data on the gas, dust, and polarization to probe the…
