PDRs4All XXII. Near-Infrared continuum in the Orion Bar
Takashi Onaka, Emmanuel Dartois, Els Peeters +13
Conspicuous excess emission is present in the near-infrared (NIR) region in various objects, including reflection nebulae, planetary nebulae, and nearby galaxies. However, the spat…
PDRs4All: XVIII. The evolution of the PAH ionisation and PAH size distribution across the Orion Bar
Alexandros Maragkoudakis, Christiaan Boersma, Els Peeters +25
We investigate the evolution of the PAH population's charge state and size across key physical zones in the Orion Bar, which include the HII region, the atomic PDR (APDR), and thre…
Observation of an Accreting Planetary-Mass Companion with Signs of Disk-Disk Interaction in Orion
Emilie Vila, Paul Amiot, Olivier Berné +11
Young ( Myr) planetary-mass companions (PMCs) provide valuable insights into the formation and early evolution of planetary systems. To date, only a dozen such objects…
PAH Spectral Diversity in NGC 7027 and the Evolution of Aromatic Carriers
Charlotte Smith-Perez, Aidan Hembruff, Els Peeters +2
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a significant fraction of the Universe's carbon budget, playing a key role in the cosmic carbon cycle and dominating the mid-infr…
PDRs4All XVII: Formation and excitation of HD in photodissociation regions. Application to the Orion Bar
Marion Zannese, Jacques Le Bourlot, Evelyne Roueff +12
The James Webb Space Telescope enabled the first detection of several rovibrational emission lines of HD in the Orion Bar, a prototypical photodissociation region. This provides an…
PDRs4All XIX. The 6 to 9 m region as a probe of PAH charge and size in the Orion Bar
Baria Khan, Samuel A. Daza Rodriguez, Els Peeters +24
Infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) play a major role in determining the charge balance of their host environments that include photo-dissociation region…
