CII fine-structure line observations of the Sagittarius C Region in the Galaxy's Central Molecular Zone
DEnise Riquelme-Vasquez, Rolf Guesten, Mark R. Morris +7
Context. Sagittarius C (Sgr C) is a massive, relatively quiescent complex at the western edge of the Galaxy's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). While the Sgr B2 region has been extensi…
SOFIA FEEDBACK Survey: The Eagle Nebula in [C II] and Molecular Lines
Ramsey L. Karim, Marc W. Pound, Alexander G. G. M. Tielens +15
We characterize the physical conditions and energy budget of the M16 H II region using SOFIA FEEDBACK observations of the [C II] 158 m line. The O stars in the $\sim 10^{4}~{\r…
Expansion Signatures in 35 HII Regions traced by SOFIA [CII] Emission
Timothy Faerber, Loren D. Anderson, Matteo Luisi +6
We analyze the expansion signatures of 35 HII regions mapped in [CII] 158 micron emission by the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The [CII] emission primar…
[C II]-deficit caused by self-absorption in an ionized carbon-filled bubble in RCW79
Eduard Keilmann, Simon Dannhauer, Slawa Kabanovic +12
Recent spectroscopic observations of the [C II] 158 fine-structure line of ionized carbon (C), using the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA…
Molecular cloud matching in CO and dust in M33 II. Physical properties of giant molecular clouds
Eduard Keilmann, Slawa Kabanovic, Nicola Schneider +8
Understanding mass, size, and surface mass density of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in galaxies is key to insights into star formation processes. We analyze these in M33 using Hers…
