Gas morphology and energetics at the surface of PDRs: new insights with Herschel observations of NGC 7023
C. Joblin, P. Pilleri, J. Montillaud +37
We investigate the physics and chemistry of the gas and dust in dense photon-dominated regions (PDRs), along with their dependence on the illuminating UV field. Using Herschel-HIFI…
Reversal of infall in SgrB2(M) revealed by Herschel/HIFI observations of HCN lines at THz frequencies
Rainer Rolffs, Peter Schilke, Claudia Comito +54
To investigate the accretion and feedback processes in massive star formation, we analyze the shapes of emission lines from hot molecular cores, whose asymmetries trace infall and…
The origin of the [C II] emission in the S140 PDRs - new insights from HIFI
C. Dedes, M. Röllig, B. Mookerjea +38
Using Herschel's HIFI instrument we have observed [C II] along a cut through S140 and high-J transitions of CO and HCO+ at two positions on the cut, corresponding to the externally…
Herschel observations of EXtra-Ordinary Sources: The Terahertz spectrum of Orion KL seen at high spectral resolution
N. R. Crockett, E. A. Bergin, S. Wang +60
We present the first high spectral resolution observations of Orion KL in the frequency ranges 1573.4 - 1702.8 GHz (band 6b) and 1788.4 - 1906.8 GHz (band 7b) obtained using the HI…
Herschel observations of EXtra-Ordinary Sources: the present and future of spectral surveys with Herschel/HIFI
E. A. Bergin, T. G. Phillips, C. Comito +56
We present initial results from the Herschel GT key program: Herschel observations of EXtra-Ordinary Sources (HEXOS) and outline the promise and potential of spectral surveys with…
Herschel observations of extra-ordinary sources: Detecting spiral arm clouds by CH absorption lines
S. -L. Qin, P. Schilke, C. Comito +67
We have observed CH absorption lines () against the continuum source Sgr~B2(M) using the \textit{Herschel}/HIFI instrument. With the high spectral…
Herschel/HIFI measurements of the ortho/para ratio in water towards Sagittarius B2(M) and W31C
D. C. Lis, T. G. Phillips, P. F. Goldsmith +74
We present Herschel/HIFI observations of the fundamental rotational transitions of ortho- and para-HO and HO in absorption towards Sagittarius~B2(M) and W31C. The…
Herschel/HIFI discovery of interstellar chloronium (HCl)
D. C. Lis, J. C. Pearson, D. A. Neufeld +102
We report the first detection of chloronium, HCl, in the interstellar medium, using the HIFI instrument aboard the \emph{Herschel} Space Observatory. The li…
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…
HIFI observations of warm gas in DR21: Shock versus radiative heating
V. Ossenkopf, M. Röllig, R. Simon +35
The molecular gas in the DR21 massive star formation region is known to be affected by the strong UV field from the central star cluster and by a fast outflow creating a bright sho…
Visible photodissociation spectroscopy of PAH cations and derivatives in the PIRENEA experiment
F. Useli-Bacchitta, A. Bonnamy, G. Mulas +3
The electronic spectra of gas-phase cationic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), trapped in the Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance cell of the PIRENEA experiment, have…
