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…
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…
Solar C/O ratio in planet-forming gas at 1 au in a highly irradiated disk
Ilane Schroetter, Olivier Berné, Emeric Bron +18
The chemical composition of exoplanets is thought to be influenced by the composition of the disks in which they form. JWST observations have unveiled a variety of species in numer…
PDRs4All XIII. Empirical prescriptions for the interpretation of JWST imaging observations of star-forming regions
Ryan Chown, Yoko Okada, Els Peeters +17
(Abridged) JWST continues to deliver incredibly detailed infrared (IR) images of star forming regions in the Milky Way and beyond. IR emission from star-forming regions is very spe…
