New Estimate for the Cosmic Ray-Induced Photodissociation Rate in the Interstellar Medium
O. Sipilä, P. Caselli, M. Padovani +5
In the interstellar medium, cosmic rays (CRs) generate a field of ultraviolet (UV) photons via the excitation and subsequent radiative decay of molecules. This UV field i…
Broadband spectroscopy of astrophysical ice analogues: IV. Optical constants of N ice in the terahertz and mid-infrared ranges
F. Kruczkiewicz, A. A. Gavdush, F. Ribeiro +9
Context. Understanding the optical properties of astrophysical ices is crucial for modeling dust continuum emission and radiative transfer in cold, dense interstellar environments.…
Formation of protostars and the launching of stellar core outflows with moving-mesh radiation non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics
Alexander C. Mayer, Rüdiger Pakmor, Thorsten Naab +5
We present an implementation of radiative transfer with flux-limited diffusion (FLD) for the moving-mesh code {\small AREPO} and use the method in a physical model for the formatio…
Protostellar disks in their natural habitat -- the formation of protostars and their accretion disks in the turbulent and magnetized interstellar medium
Alexander C. Mayer, Thorsten Naab, Paola Caselli +6
We present simulations of the supernova-driven turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) in a simulation domain of volume within which we resolve the formation of pro…
