Filamentary Molecular Cloud Formation via Collision-induced Magnetic Reconnection in Cold Neutral Medium
Shuo Kong, Rowan J. Smith, David Whitworth +1
We have investigated the possibility of molecular cloud formation via the Collision-induced Magnetic Reconnection (CMR) mechanism of the cold neutral medium (CNM). Two atomic gas c…
The Molecular Cloud Lifecycle I: Constraining H2 formation and dissociation rates with observations
Shmuel Bialy, Blakesley Burkhart, Daniel Seifried +9
Molecular clouds (MCs) are the birthplaces of new stars in galaxies. A key component of MCs are photodissociation regions (PDRs), where far-ultraviolet radiation plays a crucial ro…
UV Cooling via O VI Emission in the Superwind of M82 Observed with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE)
Jin-Ah Kim, Haeun Chung, Carlos J. Vargas +1
We examined archival Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer data to search for far-ultraviolet emission lines in the starburst galaxy M82. The observations were made in an outflow…
The Molecular Cloud Lifecycle II: Formation and Destruction of Molecular Clouds Diagnosed via H Fluorescent Emission Emission
Blakesley Burkhart, Shmuel Bialy, Daniel Seifried +11
Molecular hydrogen (H) formation and dissociation are key processes that drive the gas lifecycle in galaxies. Using the SImulating the LifeCycle of Molecular Clouds (SILCC) zoo…
