Water in Star-Forming Regions with the Herschel Space Observatory (WISH): Overview of key program and first results
E. F. van Dishoeck, L. E. Kristensen, A. O. Benz +12
`Water In Star-forming regions with Herschel' (WISH) is a key program on the Herschel Space Observatory designed to probe the physical and chemical structure of young stellar objec…
Variations in H2O+/H2O ratios toward massive star-forming regions
F. Wyrowski, F. van der Tak, F. Herpin +63
Early results from the Herschel Space Observatory revealed the water cation H2O+ to be an abundant ingredient of the interstellar medium. Here we present new observations of the H2…
The distribution of water in the high-mass star-forming region NGC 6334I
M. Emprechtinger, D. C. Lis, T. Bell +66
We present observations of twelve rotational transitions of H2O-16, H2O-18, and H2O-17 toward the massive star-forming region NGC 6334 I, carried out with Herschel/HIFI as part of…
Water abundances in high-mass protostellar envelopes: Herschel observations with HIFI
M. Marseille, F. F. S. van der Tak, F. Herpin +4
We derive the dense core structure and the water abundance in four massive star-forming regions which may help understand the earliest stages of massive star formation. We present…
Hydrides in Young Stellar Objects: Radiation tracers in a protostar-disk-outflow system
Arnold O. Benz, Simon Bruderer, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +2
Context: Hydrides of the most abundant heavier elements are fundamental molecules in cosmic chemistry. Some of them trace gas irradiated by UV or X-rays. Aims: We explore the abund…
Strong CH+ J=1-0 emission and absorption in DR21
E. Falgarone, V. Ossenkopf, M. Gerin +30
We report the first detection of the ground-state rotational transition of the methylidyne cation CH+ towards the massive star-forming region DR21 with the HIFI instrument onboard…
