Interstellar Aromatic Infrared Bands: IR absorption spectroscopy of the lowest triplet state of naphthalene
Priyanka Arvind Paunikar, Hugo Maurer, Lars Reems +5
The aromatic infrared bands (AIBs), emission features observed ubiquitously across a wide variety of interstellar objects, are commonly attributed to radiative cooling of highly-ex…
Oxygen in the protostellar clump OMC-2 FIR4
Jorma Harju, Paola Caselli, Rolf Güsten +6
Atomic oxygen (OI), OH, H2O, and CO are the main carriers of oxygen in dense interstellar gas and important coolants of shocks associated with protostellar outflows. We determine t…
PDRs4All III: JWST's NIR spectroscopic view of the Orion Bar
Els Peeters, Emilie Habart, Olivier Berne +135
(Abridged) We investigate the impact of radiative feedback from massive stars on their natal cloud and focus on the transition from the HII region to the atomic PDR (crossing the i…
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…
PDRs4All II: JWST's NIR and MIR imaging view of the Orion Nebula
Emilie Habart, Els Peeters, Olivier Berné +139
The JWST has captured the most detailed and sharpest infrared images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star formation region, and a prototypic…
Infrared action spectroscopy as tool for probing gas-phase dynamics: Protonated Dimethyl Ether, (CH)OH, formed by the reaction of CHOH with CHOH
Vincent Richardson, Daniel B. Rap, Sandra Brünken +1
Methanol is one of the most abundant interstellar Complex Organic Molecules (iCOMs) and it represents a major building block for the synthesis of increasingly complex oxygen-contai…
Deuteration of c-CH towards the pre-stellar core L1544
K. Giers, S. Spezzano, F. Alves +7
Context: In the centre of pre-stellar cores, the deuterium fractionation is enhanced due to the cold temperatures and high densities. Therefore, the chemistry of deuterated molecul…
Infrared action spectroscopy of doubly charged PAHs and their contribution to the aromatic infrared bands
Shreyak Banhatti, Julianna Palotás, Pavol Jusko +4
The so-called aromatic infrared bands are attributed to emission of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The observed variations toward different regions in space are believed to be c…
Laboratory rotational ground state transitions of NHD and CF
Alexander Stoffels, Lars Kluge, Stephan Schlemmer +1
Aims. This paper reports accurate laboratory frequencies of the rotational ground state transitions of two astronomically relevant molecular ions, NH3D+ and CF+. Methods. Spectra i…
High Resolution Laboratory Spectroscopy
Sandra Brünken, Stephan Schlemmer
In this short review we will highlight some of the recent advancements in the field of high-resolution laboratory spectroscopy that meet the needs dictated by the advent of highly…
Dust-forming molecules in VY Canis Majoris (and Betelgeuse)
T. Kaminski, C. A. Gottlieb, M. R. Schmidt +7
The formation of inorganic dust in circumstellar environments of evolved stars is poorly understood. Spectra of molecules thought to be most important for the nucleation, i.e. AlO,…
Pure rotational spectra of TiO and TiO_2 in VY Canis Majoris
T. Kaminski, C. A. Gottlieb, K. M. Menten +7
We report the first detection of pure rotational transitions of TiO and TiO_2 at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths towards the red supergiant VY CMa. A rotational temperature, T_rot, of…
An Interferometric Spectral-line Survey of IRC+10216 in the 345 GHz Band
Nimesh A. Patel, Ken H. Young, Carl A. Gottlieb +10
We report a spectral-line survey of the extreme carbon star IRC+10216 carried out between 293.9 and 354.8 GHz with the Submillimeter Array. A total of 442 lines were detected, more…
Interstellar HOCN in the Galactic center region
S. Bruenken, A. Belloche, S. Martin +2
Aims. Our aim is to confirm the interstellar detection of cyanic acid, HOCN, in the Galactic center clouds. It has previously been tentatively detected only in Sgr B2(OH). Methods.…
Circumstellar molecular composition of the oxygen-rich AGB star IK~Tau: II. In-depth non-LTE chemical abundance analysis
L. Decin, E. De Beck, S. Brunken +6
Aims: Little information exists on the circumstellar molecular abundance stratifications of many molecules. The aim is to study the circumstellar chemical abundance pattern of 11 m…
