The Horsehead mane: Towards an observational benchmark for chemical models
Jérôme Pety, Javier R. Goicoechea, Maryvonne Gerin +5
After a discussion about the need for observational benchmark for chemical models, we explain 1) why the Horsehead western edge is well suited to serve as reference for models and…
Galaxy Evolution and Star Formation Efficiency in the Last Half of the Universe
F. Combes, S. Garcia-Burillo, J. Braine +4
We present the results of a CO(1-0) emission survey with the IRAM 30m of 30 galaxies at moderate redshift (z ~ 0.2-0.6) to explore galaxy evolution and in particular the star forma…
Discovery of Interstellar Propylene (CH_2CHCH_3): Missing Links in Interstellar Gas-Phase Chemistry
N. Marcelino, J. Cernicharo, M. Agundez +5
We report the discovery of propylene (also called propene, CH_2CHCH_3) with the IRAM 30-m radio telescope toward the dark cloud TMC-1. Propylene is the most saturated hydrocarbon e…
N2H+ and N2D+ in interstellar molecular clouds. II- Observations
F. Daniel, J. Cernicharo, E. Roueff +2
We present observations of the =1--0, 2--1, and 3--2 rotational transitions of NH and ND towards a sample of prototypical dark clouds. The data have been interpr…
Effects of turbulent diffusion on the chemistry of diffuse clouds
P. Lesaffre, M. Gerin, P. Hennebelle
Aims. We probe the effect of turbulent diffusion on the chemistry at the interface between a cold neutral medium (CNM) cloudlet and the warm neutral medium (WNM). Methods. We perfo…
Upper limits to the water abundance in starburst galaxies
C. D. Wilson, R. S. Booth, A. O. H. Oloffson +11
We have searched for emission from the 557 GHz ortho-water line in the interstellar medium of six nearby starburst galaxies. We used the Odin satellite to observe the 1_10-1_01 tra…
