Turning JWST/MIRI backgrounds into a survey of diffuse molecular hydrogen
E. Nigou, B. Godard, P. Guillard +3
Context. A statistically significant sampling of H2 rotational excitation in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) is essential to identifying its excitation mechanisms and assessi…
Observations of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines with the NenuFAR telescope. I. Cassiopeia A and Cygnus A
Lucie Cros, Antoine Gusdorf, Philippe Salomé +26
Carbon Radio Recombination Lines (CRRLs) at decametre wavelengths trace the diffuse phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Galaxy. Their observation allows to measure physic…
Supernova Shocks in Molecular Clouds: Shocks Driven into Dense Cores in IC 443 and 3C 391
William T. Reach, Ngoc Le Tram, Curtis DeWitt +3
Supernova shocks into dense molecular cores in IC 443 (clumps B, C, and G) and 3C 391 were observed using the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy and complemented by a…
SOFIA/EXES observations of warm H2 at high spectral resolution: II. IC443C, NGC2071, and 3C391
David A. Neufeld, Curtis DeWitt, Pierre Lesaffre +4
Using the EXES instrument on SOFIA, we have obtained velocity-resolved spectra of several pure rotational lines of H2 toward shocked molecular gas within three Galactic sources: th…
