Water Abundance and Ortho-Para Ratio in the S140 Photon Dominated Region

Dariusz C. Lis, Sofia Lawsky, Emeric Bron +2

We analyzed archival far-infrared to submillimeter Herschel PACS, SPIRE, and HIFI spectroscopic observations of the S140 photon dominated region (PDR) to constrain the water vapor…

H2 emission in the Orion Bar, NGC7023 and the Horsehead Nebula observed with the James Webb Space Telescope

M. Zannese, A. Sidhu, A. Guerras +25

Molecular hydrogen (H2), the most abundant molecule in the interstellar medium, is a handy tool to study Photodissociation Regions. The JWST, with its high spatial resolution, sens…

Physical conditions in PDRs revealed by IGRINS ro-vibrational H2 observations

Aurélien Piluso, Vincent Maillard, Raphael Meshaka +10

We compare H2 high ro-vibrational observations of 5 PDRs (S140, IC63, Horsehead Nebula, NGC 2023 and Orion Bar) obtained with the IGRINS spectrograph to PDR models produced with th…

Chemical diversity of dense cores in Orion B: The role of the environment

Helena J. Mazurek, Maryvonne Gerin, Pierre Gratier +26

Prestellar cores are the sites of the earliest stages of star formation. Dust continuum observations are often used to identify and characterize their properties yet only a small f…

First Observation of CO Emission and foreground absorption Toward the Galactic Center with JWST

J. Qiu, A. Ciurlo, M. R. Morris +11

CO is an important, stable, and abundant molecule in the Universe, but it is very difficult to detect because it has no observable pure rotational transitions. The unique sensi…

Spatial distribution of organics in the Horsehead nebula: Signposts of chemistry driven by atomic carbon

Claudio Hernández-Vera, Viviana V. Guzmán, Jérôme Pety +10

(Abridged) Complex organic molecules (COMs) are considered essential precursors to prebiotic species. While COMs were once expected to be efficiently destroyed under UV-irradiated…
