Detection of OH and HO towards Orion~KL
H. Gupta, P. Rimmer, J. C. Pearson +76
We report observations of the reactive molecular ions OH, HO, and HO towards Orion KL with Herschel/HIFI. All three fine-structure transitions of OH…
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…
A Sample of [CII] Clouds Tracing Dense Clouds in Weak FUV Fields observed by Herschel
Jorge L. Pineda, Thangasamy Velusamy, William D. Langer +4
The [CII] fine--structure line at 158um is an excellent tracer of the warm diffuse gas in the ISM and the interfaces between molecular clouds and their surrounding atomic and ioniz…
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…
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…
C detection of warm dark gas in diffuse clouds
W. D. Langer, T. Velusamy, J. L. Pineda +3
We present the first results of the Herschel open time key program, Galactic Observations of Terahertz C (GOT C+) survey of the [CII] fine-structure line at 1.9 THz (158 micron…
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 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…
Herschel observations of ortho- and para-oxidaniumyl (H2O+) in spiral arm clouds toward Sgr B2(M)
P. Schilke, C. Comito, H. S. P. Mueller +55
H2O+ has been observed in its ortho- and para- states toward the massive star forming core Sgr B2(M), located close to the Galactic center. The observations show absorption in all…
The CHESS chemical Herschel surveys of star forming regions: Peering into the protostellar shock L1157-B1. I. Shock chemical complexity
C. Codella, B. Lefloch, C. Ceccarelli +2
We present the first results of the unbiased survey of the L1157-B1 bow shock, obtained with HIFI in the framework of the key program Chemical Herschel surveys of star forming regi…
