Map of the Interstellar Continuum FUV Field within 800 Parsecs
David Lomeli, Kedron Silsbee, Alexei Ivlev +1
The far-ultraviolet (FUV) field, consisting of photons with energies between 6 and 13.6 electron volts, plays an important role in the chemical and thermodynamical evolution of the…
The cosmic ray ionization rate from H3+ observations can be overestimated due to neglect of time-dependent chemistry
Ka Wai Ho, Munan Gong, Kedron Silsbee +1
The cosmic ray ionization rate (CRIR) is a key parameter governing the physical, chemical and thermal evolution of the interstellar medium. The primary technique for measuring the…
JWST observations of cosmic-ray-excited H in Barnard 68: spatial variations and constraints on cosmic-ray attenuation
David A. Neufeld, Kedron Silsbee, Alexei V. Ivlev +9
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec observations of the starless dark cloud Barnard 68 that reveal the spatially-resolved signature of cosmic-ray excited molecular…
Mapping the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate in the Local Galaxy with H
Nick Indriolo, Alexei V. Ivlev, T. Pellegrin +6
Chemistry in diffuse molecular clouds relies primarily on rapid ion-molecule reactions. Formation of the initial ions, H and H, is dominated by cosmic-ray ionization of H…
The first detection of cosmic-ray excited H in interstellar space
Shmuel Bialy, Amit Chemke, David A. Neufeld +12
Stars and planets form within cold, dark molecular clouds. In these dense regions, where starlight cannot penetrate, cosmic rays (CRs) are the dominant source of ionization -- driv…
The Effect of Weak Cosmic Ray Heating Events on the Desorption of
O. Sipilä, K. Silsbee, N. Carbajal +2
The typical amount of molecular hydrogen () in interstellar ices is not known, but significant freeze-out of on dust grains is not expected. However, chemica…
