Nitrogen hydrides in the cold envelope of IRAS16293-2422
Pierre Hily-Blant, Sébastien Maret, Aurore Bacmann +4
Nitrogen is the fifth most abundant element in the Universe, yet the gas-phase chemistry of N-bearing species remains poorly understood. Nitrogen hydrides are key molecules of nitr…
The methanol lines and hot core of OMC2-FIR4, an intermediate-mass protostar, with Herschel-HIFI
M. Kama, C. Dominik, S. Maret +61
In contrast with numerous studies on the physical and chemical structure of low- and high-mass protostars, much less is known about their intermediate-mass counterparts, a class of…
First detection of ND in the solar-mass protostar IRAS16293-2422
A. Bacmann, E. Caux, P. Hily-Blant +64
In the past decade, much progress has been made in characterising the processes leading to the enhanced deuterium fractionation observed in the ISM and in particular in the cold, d…
Herschel/HIFI observations of spectrally resolved methylidyne signatures toward the high-mass star-forming core NGC6334I
M. H. D. van der Wiel, F. F. S. van der Tak, D. C. Lis +65
In contrast to extensively studied dense star-forming cores, little is known about diffuse gas surrounding star-forming regions. We study molecular gas in the high-mass star-formin…
Ortho-to-para ratio of interstellar heavy water
C. Vastel, C. Ceccarelli, E. Caux +65
Despite the low elemental deuterium abundance in the Galaxy, enhanced molecular D/H ratios have been found in the environments of low-mass star forming regions, and in particular t…
The distribution of water in the high-mass star-forming region NGC 6334I
M. Emprechtinger, D. C. Lis, T. Bell +66
We present observations of twelve rotational transitions of H2O-16, H2O-18, and H2O-17 toward the massive star-forming region NGC 6334 I, carried out with Herschel/HIFI as part of…
Herschel/HIFI discovery of interstellar chloronium (HCl)
D. C. Lis, J. C. Pearson, D. A. Neufeld +102
We report the first detection of chloronium, HCl, in the interstellar medium, using the HIFI instrument aboard the \emph{Herschel} Space Observatory. The li…
CHESS, Chemical Herschel surveys of star forming regions:Peering into the protostellar shock L1157-B1
B. Lefloch, S. Cabrit, C. Codella +74
The outflow driven by the low-mass class 0 protostar L1157 is the prototype of the so-called chemically active outflows. The bright bowshock B1 in the southern outflow lobe is a pr…
The CHESS chemical Herschel surveys of star forming regions: Peering into the protostellar shock L1157-B1. I. Shock chemical complexity
C. Codella, B. Lefloch, C. Ceccarelli +2
We present the first results of the unbiased survey of the L1157-B1 bow shock, obtained with HIFI in the framework of the key program Chemical Herschel surveys of star forming regi…
Detection of interstellar oxidaniumyl: abundant H2O+ towards the star-forming regions DR21, Sgr B2, and NGC6334
V. Ossenkopf, H. S. P. Müller, D. C. Lis +99
We identify a prominent absorption feature at 1115 GHz, detected in first HIFI spectra towards high-mass star-forming regions, and interpret its astrophysical origin. The character…
