Water in star-forming regions (WISH): Physics and chemistry from clouds to disks as probed by Herschel spectroscopy
E. F. van Dishoeck, L. E. Kristensen, the WISH team
(abridged) Data and results from the WISH key program are summarized, designed to provide a legacy data set to address its physics and chemistry. WISH targeted ~80 sources along th…
The onset of energetic particle irradiation in Class 0 protostars
C. Favre, A. Lopez-Sepulcre, C. Ceccarelli +11
The early stages of low-mass star formation are likely to be subject to intense ionization by protostellar energetic MeV particles. As a result, the surrounding gas is enriched in…
The Herschel/HIFI spectral survey of OMC-2 FIR 4 (CHESS): An overview of the 480 to 1902 GHz range
M. Kama, A. López-Sepulcre, C. Dominik +6
Broadband spectral surveys of protostars offer a rich view of the physical, chemical and dynamical structure and evolution of star-forming regions. The Herschel Space Observatory o…
Herschel/HIFI observations of red supergiants and yellow hypergiants: I. Molecular inventory
D. Teyssier, G. Quintana-Lacaci, A. P. Marston +17
Red supergiant stars (RSGs) and yellow hypergiant stars (YHGs) are believed to be the high-mass counterparts of stars in the AGB and early post-AGB phases. We study the mass-loss i…
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…
Nitrogen hydrides in the cold envelope of IRAS16293-2422
Pierre Hily-Blant, Sébastien Maret, Aurore Bacmann +4
Nitrogen is the fifth most abundant element in the Universe, yet the gas-phase chemistry of N-bearing species remains poorly understood. Nitrogen hydrides are key molecules of nitr…
The methanol lines and hot core of OMC2-FIR4, an intermediate-mass protostar, with Herschel-HIFI
M. Kama, C. Dominik, S. Maret +61
In contrast with numerous studies on the physical and chemical structure of low- and high-mass protostars, much less is known about their intermediate-mass counterparts, a class of…
Herschel/HIFI observations of spectrally resolved methylidyne signatures toward the high-mass star-forming core NGC6334I
M. H. D. van der Wiel, F. F. S. van der Tak, D. C. Lis +65
In contrast to extensively studied dense star-forming cores, little is known about diffuse gas surrounding star-forming regions. We study molecular gas in the high-mass star-formin…
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…
A HIFI preview of warm molecular gas around chi Cyg : first detection of H2O emission toward an S-type AGB star
K. Justtanont, L. Decin, F. L. Schoier +24
A set of new, sensitive, and spectrally resolved, sub-millimeter line observations are used to probe the warm circumstellar gas around the S-type AGB star chi Cyg. The observed lin…
Water vapor toward starless cores: the Herschel view
P. Caselli, E. Keto, L. Pagani +63
SWAS and Odin provided stringent upper limits on the gas phase water abundance of dark clouds (x(H2O) < 7x10^-9). We investigate the chemistry of water vapor in starless cores beyo…
