Mapping the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate in the Local Galaxy with H

Nick Indriolo, Alexei V. Ivlev, T. Pellegrin +6

Chemistry in diffuse molecular clouds relies primarily on rapid ion-molecule reactions. Formation of the initial ions, H and H, is dominated by cosmic-ray ionization of H…

The densities in diffuse and translucent molecular clouds: estimates from observations of C and from 3-dimensional extinction maps

David A. Neufeld, Daniel E. Welty, Alexei V. Ivlev +7

Newly-computed collisional rate coefficients for the excitation of C in collisions with H, presented recently by Najar and Kalugina (2020), are significantly larger than th…

Re-evaluation of the cosmic-ray ionization rate in diffuse clouds

M. Obolentseva, A. V. Ivlev, K. Silsbee +6

All current estimates of the cosmic-ray (CR) ionization rate rely on assessments of the gas density along the probed sight lines. Until now, these have been based on observations o…

High-resolution SOFIA/EXES Spectroscopy of Water Absorption Lines in the Massive Young Binary W3 IRS 5

Jialu Li, Adwin Boogert, Andrew G. Barr +9

We present in this paper mid-infrared (5-8~m) spectroscopy toward the massive young binary W3~IRS~5, using the EXES spectrometer in high-resolution mode (50,000) from the…

Absorption Line Observations of H and CO in Sight Lines Toward the Vela and W28 Supernova Remnants

Nick Indriolo

Supernova remnants act as particle accelerators, providing the cosmic-ray protons that permeate the interstellar medium and initiate the ion-molecule reactions that drive interstel…

Salt-bearing disk candidates around high-mass young stellar objects

Adam Ginsburg, Brett A. McGuire, Patricio Sanhueza +6

Molecular lines tracing the orbital motion of gas in a well-defined disk are valuable tools for inferring both the properties of the disk and the star it surrounds. Lines that aris…
