SOFIA FEEDBACK Survey: The Eagle Nebula in [C II] and Molecular Lines
Ramsey L. Karim, Marc W. Pound, Alexander G. G. M. Tielens +15
We characterize the physical conditions and energy budget of the M16 H II region using SOFIA FEEDBACK observations of the [C II] 158 m line. The O stars in the $\sim 10^{4}~{\rm…
[CII] Spectral Mapping of the Galactic Wind and Starbursting Disk of M82 with SOFIA
Rebecca C. Levy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Elizabeth Tarantino +10
M82 is an archetypal starburst galaxy in the local Universe. The central burst of star formation, thought to be triggered by M82's interaction with other members in the M81 group,…
Ionized carbon as a tracer of the assembly of interstellar clouds
Nicola Schneider, Lars Bonne, Sylvain Bontemps +9
Molecular hydrogen clouds are a key component of the interstellar medium because they are the birthplaces for stars. They are embedded in atomic gas that pervades the interstellar…
Searching for converging flows of atomic gas onto a molecular cloud
Mark Heyer, Paul F. Goldsmith, Robert Simon +2
We present new observations of [CII] fine structure line emission from an isolated molecular cloud using the upGREAT instrument onboard SOFIA. These data are analyzed together with…
FEEDBACK from the NGC7538 HII region
H. Beuther, N. Schneider, R. Simon +10
Context: How do expanding HII regions interact with their environmental cloud? This is one of the central questions driving the SOFIA legacy program FEEDBACK. Here, we present a ca…
SOFIA FEEDBACK survey: exploring the dynamics of the stellar wind driven shell of RCW 49
M. Tiwari, R. Karim, M. W. Pound +13
We unveil the stellar wind driven shell of the luminous massive star-forming region of RCW 49 using SOFIA FEEDBACK observations of the [CII] 158 m line. The complementary datase…
