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…
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…
Fragmentation in the massive G31.41+0.31 protocluster
M. T. Beltrán, V. M. Rivilla, R. Cesaroni +18
Context. ALMA observations at 1.4 mm and 0.2'' (750au) angular resolution of the Main core in the high-mass star forming region G31.41+0.31 have revealed a puzzling scenario: on th…
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.…
