Constraining the cosmic-ray ionization rate and their spectrum with NIR spectroscopy of dense clouds -- A test-bed for JWST
Shmuel Bialy, Sirio Belli, Marco Padovani
Low-energy cosmic-rays (CRs) control the thermo-chemical state and the coupling between gas and magnetic fields in dense molecular clouds, the sites of star-formation. However, cur…
The cosmic-ray ionisation rate in the pre-stellar core L1544
Elena Redaelli, Olli Sipilä, Marco Padovani +3
Context. Cosmic rays (CRs) play an important role in the chemistry and dynamics of the interstellar medium. In dense environments, they represent the main ionising agent, driving t…
Structured velocity field in the inner envelope of B335: ALMA observations of rare CO isotopologues
Victoria Cabedo, Anaëlle Maury, Josep Miquel Girart +1
Studying Class 0 objects is very important, as it allows to characterize dynamical processes at the onset of the star formation process, and to determine the physical mechanisms re…
Spectral index of synchrotron emission: insights from the diffuse and magnetised interstellar medium
Marco Padovani, Andrea Bracco, Vibor Jelić +2
The interpretation of Galactic synchrotron observations is complicated by the degeneracy between the strength of the magnetic field perpendicular to the line of sight (LOS), $B_\pe…
Grammage of cosmic rays in the proximity of supernova remnants embedded in a partially ionized medium
S. Recchia, D. Galli, L. Nava +5
We investigate the damping of Alfvén waves generated by the cosmic ray resonant streaming instability in the context of the cosmic ray escape and propagation in the proximity of su…
Gravity Driven Magnetic Field at ~1000 au Scales in High-mass Star Formation
Patricio Sanhueza, Josep Miquel Girart, Marco Padovani +20
A full understanding of high-mass star formation requires the study of one of the most elusive components of the energy balance in the interstellar medium: magnetic fields. We repo…
The double signature of local cosmic-ray acceleration in star-forming regions
Marco Padovani, Alexandre Marcowith, Daniele Galli +2
Recently, there has been an increased interest in the study of the generation of low-energy cosmic rays (CRs; < 1 TeV) in shocks situated on the surface of a protostar or along pro…
Particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in massive young stellar object jets
Anabella Araudo, Marco Padovani, Alexandre Marcowith
Synchrotron radio emission from non-relativistic jets powered by massive protostars has been reported, indicating the presence of relativistic electrons and magnetic fields of stre…
Rigorous theory for secondary cosmic-ray ionization
Alexei V. Ivlev, Kedron Silsbee, Marco Padovani +1
The energy spectrum of electrons produced in molecular gas by interstellar cosmic rays (CRs) is rigorously calculated as a function of gas column density traversed by the CRs.…
