Molecular diagnostics for the mid-infrared emission of planet-forming disks. Carbon and oxygen elemental abundances
Aditya M. Arabhavi, Inga Kamp, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +8
Mid-infrared observations of planet-forming disks reveal a wide diversity in molecular spectra. Carbon and oxygen abundances play a central role in setting the chemical environment…
SMBH shadows: gravity fingerprints revealed by spectral line background radiation
Konstantinos Kostaros, Padelis Papadopoulos, Wing-Fai Thi +1
SMBHs at the centers of galaxies, illuminated by their accretion disks, can reveal valuable information on BH spacetimes via their shadows, which can be used for strong-gravity tes…
Einstein ring fingerprint around supermassive black holes illuminated by broad line region spectral lines
Konstantinos Kostaros, George Pappas, Padelis Papadopoulos +1
The continuum emission from the hot and ionized inner regions of accretion disks around supermassive black holes (SMBHs), which is strongly lensed by the light ring (i.e., the unst…
The neutral gas phase nearest to supermassive black holes
Wing-Fai Thi, Padelis Papadopoulos
Broad Line Regions (BLRs) are known to contain gravitationally-bound gas within r~(few) 10^2-10^3 Schwarszchild radii (Rs) near supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in Active Galactic…
First observations of warm and cold methanol in Class 0/I proto-brown dwarfs
B. Riaz, W. -F. Thi, M. N. Machida
We present results from the first molecular line survey to search for the fundamental complex organic molecule, methanol (CHOH), in 14 Class 0/I proto-brown dwarfs (proto-BDs…
Simulation of CHOH ice UV photolysis under laboratory conditions
W. R. M. Rocha, P. Woitke, S. Pilling +5
Methanol is the most complex molecule securely identified in interstellar ices and is a key chemical species for understanding chemical complexity in astrophysical environments. Im…
