Spatially resolved thermal dust emission in the L1157 outflow reveals grain-driven molecular enrichment
Siyi Feng, Hauyu Baobab Liu, Yang Lu +11
Protostellar outflow shocks reshape local dust properties and molecular chemistry. The L1157 outflow is an archetypal chemically rich shocked region, but the thermal dust associate…
Star Formation Drives Production of Low Energy Cosmic Rays
Ningyu Tang, Jiahao Liu, Di Li +18
For over a century, the origin of low-energy cosmic rays (LECRs), the dominant heaters and ionizers of dense interstellar gas, remains elusive owing to solar modulation and uncerta…
Large scale mapping of [CI] and the [CI]-to-CO transition in Ophiuchus molecular cloud
Jifeng Xia, Ningyu Tang, Thomas G. Bisbas +10
Atomic carbon ([CI]) is a key species in the carbon chemistry of the interstellar medium (ISM). Using the Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS), we conducted a [CI](P$_…
Metallicity dependence of the CO-to-H and the [CI]-to-H conversion factors in galaxies
Thomas G. Bisbas, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Maria-Christina Kyrmanidou +6
Understanding the molecular gas content in the interstellar medium (ISM) is crucial for studying star formation and galaxy evolution. The CO-to-H () and the [CI]-to…
