Formation of the Methyl Cation by Photochemistry in a Protoplanetary Disk

Olivier Berné, Marie-Aline Martin-Drumel, Ilane Schroetter +53

Forty years ago it was proposed that gas phase organic chemistry in the interstellar medium was initiated by the methyl cation CH3+, but hitherto it has not been observed outside t…

PDRs4All IV. An embarrassment of riches: Aromatic infrared bands in the Orion Bar

Ryan Chown, Ameek Sidhu, Els Peeters +136

(Abridged) Mid-infrared observations of photodissociation regions (PDRs) are dominated by strong emission features called aromatic infrared bands (AIBs). The most prominent AIBs ar…

One Relation for All Wavelengths: The Far-Ultraviolet to Mid-Infrared Milky Way Spectroscopic R(V) Dependent Dust Extinction Relationship

Karl D. Gordon, Geoffrey C. Clayton, Marjorie Decleir +4

Dust extinction is one of the fundamental measurements of dust grain sizes, compositions, and shapes. Most of the wavelength dependent variations seen in Milky Way extinction are s…

The Quest for the Missing Dust: II -- Two Orders of Magnitude of Evolution in the Dust-to-Gas Ratio Resolved Within Local Group Galaxies

Christopher J. R. Clark, Julia C. Roman-Duval, Karl D. Gordon +3

We explore evolution in the dust-to-gas ratio with density within four well-resolved Local Group galaxies - the LMC, SMC, M31, and M33. We do this using new maps,…
