Shock excitation of H in the James Webb Space Telescope era
L. E. Kristensen, B. Godard, P. Guillard +2

Icy grain mantles are the main reservoir of the volatile elements that link chemical processes in dark, interstellar clouds with the formation of planets and composition of their a…
Water emission tracing active star formation from the Milky Way to high- galaxies
K. M. Dutkowska, L. E. Kristensen
(Abridged) The question of how most stars in the Universe form remains open. While star formation predominantly occurs in young massive clusters, the current framework focuses on i…
A census of young stellar objects in two line-of-sight star forming regions toward IRAS 22147+5948 in the outer Galaxy
Agata Karska, Maciej Koprowski, Aleksandra Solarz +9
(abridged) Star formation in the outer Galaxy, i.e., outside of the Solar circle, has been lightly studied in part due to low CO brightness of molecular clouds linked with the nega…
The Detection of Deuterated Water in the Large Magellanic Cloud with ALMA
Marta Sewiło, Agata Karska, Lars E. Kristensen +10
We report the first detection of deuterated water (HDO) toward an extragalactic hot core. The HDO 2-2 line has been detected toward hot cores N105-2A and 2B in the N1…
Connecting Galactic and extragalactic outflows: From the Cygnus-X cluster to active galaxies
I. M. Skretas, L. E. Kristensen
Molecular outflows are often detected originating from both protostellar and extragalactic sources. Studies of low-mass, isolated high-mass, and extragalactic sources reveal scalin…

We present velocity resolved SOFIA/upGREAT observations of [OI] and [CII] lines toward a Class I protostar, L1551 IRS 5, and its outflows. The SOFIA observations detect [OI] emissi…
Linking High- and Low-Mass Star Formation: Observation-Based Continuum Modelling and Physical Conditions
R. L. Pitts, L. E. Kristensen, J. K. Jørgensen +1
Astronomers have yet to establish whether high-mass protostars form from high-mass prestellar cores, similar to their lower-mass counterparts, or from lower-mass fragments at the h…
