We have observed the HC3N (J=10-9) and N2H+ (J=1-0) lines toward the Vela C molecular clouds with the Mopra 22 m telescope to study chemical characteristics of dense cores. The intensity distributions of these molecules are similar to each…

Velocity profiles of ground state lines of H2D+, HC18O+ and N2H+, observed previously with the CSO and IRAM 30m telescopes, are modeled with a Monte Carlo radiative transfer program to study the temperature, density and velocity structure…

We discuss the interstellar absorption from many atomic and molecular species seen in high-resolution $HST$/STIS UV and high-S/N optical spectra of the moderately reddened B3-5~V star HD~62542. This remarkable sight line exhibits both very…

We have investigated the physical and chemical status of the pre-protostellar core B68. A previous extinction study suggested that the density profile of B68 is remarkably consistent with a Bonnor-Ebert sphere with 2.1 $M_{\odot}$ at 16 K.…

Aims. Our goals are to compare the CS, N2H+ and dust distributions in a representative sample of high-mass star forming dense cores and to determine the physical and chemical properties of these cores. Methods. We compare the results of…

We study the relationship between molecular gas and dust in the California Molecular Cloud over an unprecedented dynamic range of cloud depth (Av = 3 - 60 magnitudes). We compare deep Herschel-based measurements of dust extinction with…

We present results of mapping observations of the DNC, HN^13C, and H^13CO^+ lines (J=1-0) toward 4 nearby dark cloud cores, TMC-1, L1512, L1544, and L63, along with observations of the DNC and HN^13C lines (J=2-1) toward selected positions.…

We have mapped the dense dark core L1544 in H13CO+(1-0), DCO+(2-1), DCO+(3-2), N2H+(1-0), NTH+(3-2), N2D+(2-1), N2D+(3-2), C18O(1-0), and C17O(1-0) using the IRAM 30-m telescope. We have obtained supplementary observations of HC18O+(1-0),…

We present the results of molecular line observations performed toward the NGC 2068 and NGC 2071 regions of the Orion B cloud as the TRAO-FUNS project to study the roles of the filamentary structure in the formation of dense cores and stars…

We study deuterium fractionation in two massive starless/early-stage cores C1-N and C1-S in Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) G028.37+00.07, first identified by Tan et al. (2013) with ALMA. Line emission from multiple transitions of $\rm N_2H^+$…

We present maps of the 6 cm and 1.3 mm transitions of formaldehyde toward three cold, dense pre-protostellar cores: L1498, L1512, and L1544. The 6 cm transition is a unique probe of high density gas at low temperature. However, our models…

We have observed the Oph A-N6 prestellar core in the following transitions: N2D+ J=3 to 2, DCO+ J=3 to 2 and J=5 to 4, HCO+ J=3 to 2, CS J=5 to 4 and J=7 to 6, and H13CO+ J=3 to 2 and J=4 to 3, using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We…

(Abridged) We aim to determine the degrees of CO depletion, deuterium fractionation, and ionisation in a sample of seven massive clumps associated with IRDCs. The APEX telescope was used to observe the C17O(2-1), H13CO+(3-2), DCO+(3-2),…

We acquired ALMA ground state absorption profiles of HCO+ and other molecules toward 33 extragalactic continuum sources seen toward the Galactic anticenter, deriving N(H2) = N(HCO+)/3x10^{-9}. We observed J=1-0 CO emission with the IRAM 30m…

Context. The nitrogen isotopic ratio is considered an important diagnostic tool of the star formation process, and $N_2H^+$ is particularly important because it is directly linked to molecular nitrogen $N_2$. However, theoretical models…

We present a high-resolution millimeter study of the very young Class 0 protostar IRAM 04191+1522 in the Taurus molecular cloud. N2H+(1-0) observations with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer and 30m telescope demonstrate that the…

NGC 7129 FIRS 2 is a young intermediate-mass (IM) protostar, which is associated with two energetic bipolar outflows and displays clear signs of the presence of a hot core. It has been extensively observed with ground based telescopes and…

We performed sensitive observations of the N15ND+(1-0) and 15NND+(1-0) lines toward the prestellar core L1544 using the IRAM 30m telescope. The lines are not detected down to 3 sigma levels in 0.2 km/s channels of around 6 mK. The…

We report on the first far-IR detection of H2D+, using the Infrared Space Observatory, in the line of sight toward Sgr B2 in the galactic center. The transition at 126.853 um connecting the ground level of o-H2D+, 1_1,1 with the the 2_1,2…

Deuterated ions are abundant in cold (T=10 K), dense (n=10^5 cm^-3) regions, in which CO is frozen out onto dust grains. In such environments, the deuterium fractionation of such ions can exceed the elemental abundance ratio of D/H by a…
