We present spatially resolved Herschel/PACS observations of the Orion Bar. We have characterise the emission of the far-infrared fine-structure lines of [CII] (158um), [OI] (63 and 145um), and [NII] (122um) that trace the gas local…
The 2.46um v=1-0 R(5) line of deuterated molecular hydrogen, HD, has been detected in the Orion Peak~1 shock emission region, at a surface brightness of (8.5 +/- 2.1) x 10^(-9) W m^(-2)sr^(-1) over a 6 arcsec^2 area. Comparison of the…
We investigate the mid-infrared (IR) emission in the Orion Bar photodissociation region, using archival photometric and spectroscopic observations from UKIRT, Spitzer, ISO, and SOFIA telescopes. Specifically, we consider flux densities of…
C$_2$H is one of the first radicals to be detected in the interstellar medium. Its higher rotational transitions have recently become available with the Herschel Space Observatory. We aim to constrain the physical parameters of the C$_2$H…
One of the main problems in astrochemistry is determining the amount of sulfur in volatiles and refractories in the interstellar medium. The detection of the main sulfur reservoirs (icy H$_2$S and atomic gas) has been challenging, and…
We identify an accretion disk atmosphere and corona from the high resolution X-ray spectrum of Hercules X-1, and we determine its detailed physical properties. More than two dozen recombination emission lines (from Fe XXVI at 1.78 A to N VI…
Quantitative understanding of the interstellar medium requires knowledge of its physical conditions. Low frequency carbon radio recombination lines (CRRLs) trace cold interstellar gas, and can be used to determine its physical conditions…
The radio source 3C84, in NGC1275, has a two sided structure on parsec scales. The northern feature, presumed to be associated with a jet moving away from the Earth, shows strong evidence for free-free absorption. The ionized gas…
We report the detection of stimulated hydrogen radio recombination line (RRL) emission from ionized gas in a $z=0.89$ galaxy using 580--1670 MHz observations from the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS). The RRL emission originates in a…
This paper is the third in a series reporting on a study of carbon abundances in a carefully chosen sample of planetary nebulae representing a large range in progenitor mass and metallicity. We make use of the IUE Final Archive database…
The current report presents the work to investigate the recombination lines of CII in the spectra of planetary nebulae. Two CIII targets were prepared and used to generate theoretical data required in the investigation of recombination…
Recently, we introduced detailed isotopic chemistry into the KOSMA-tau model for photon-dominated regions (PDRs) to give theoretical predictions for the abundance of the carbon isotopologues as a function of PDR parameters. Combined with…
The 229 GHz (lambda 1.3mm) radio emission from Orion-KL was mapped with up to 0.14" angular resolution with CARMA, allowing measurements of the flux densities of Source I ('SrcI') and the Becklin-Neugebauer Object (BN), the 2 most massive…
Electron-ion recombination of completely stripped Bi83+ was investigated at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) of the GSI in Darmstadt. It was the first experiment of this kind with a bare ion heavier than argon. Absolute recombination…
Based on high quality observations of multiplet V1 of OII and the NLTE atomic computations for OII we study the density and temperature of a sample of PNe. We find that, in general, the densities derived from recombination lines of OII are…
We have used the greatly enhanced spectral capabilities of the Expanded Very Large Array to observe both the 22.3 GHz continuum emission and the H66{\alpha} recombination line toward the well-studied Galactic emission-line star MWC 349A.…
Context: The M16 nebula is a relatively nearby Hii region, powered by O stars from the open cluster NGC 6611, which borders to a Giant Molecular Cloud. Radiation from these hot stars has sculpted columns of dense obscuring material on a few…
We have used existing optical emission and absorption lines, [C II] emission lines, and H I absorption lines to create a new model for a Central Column of material near the Trapezium region of the Orion Nebula. This was necessary because…
We present observations of the H91$\alpha$ recombination line emission towards a sample of nine HII regions associated with 6.7-GHz methanol masers, and report arcsecond-scale emission around compact cores. We derive physical parameters for…
The existence of multiple layers in the inner Orion Nebula has been revealed using data from an Atlas of spectra at 2" and 12 km/s resolution. These data were sometimes grouped over Samples of 10"x10"to produce high Signal to Noise spectra…
