Molecular Abundances in the Sgr a Molecular Cloud [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992
We have obtained column densities for HCO+, HCO, HCS+, C3H2, HC5N, SiO, OCS, HCOOH, CH3CH2 OH, and CH3CCH toward Sgr A. The fractional abundance of SiO relative to molecular hydrogen in Sgr A is comparable to that for the Orion plateau, ~ 10−7 − 10−8, which may be a typical value for hot clouds.

Evolution of prolate molecular clouds at HII boundaries - I. formation of fragment-core structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The evolution of a prolate cloud at an HII boundary is investigated using smoothed particle hydrodynamics. The prolate molecular clouds in our investigation are setwith their semi-major axis perpendicular to the radiative direction of a plane-parallel ...

Molecular clouds in M82

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1984
CO observations of the peculiar galaxy M82 have been made at 79 positions using the 14 m FCRAO telescope (HPBW = 50'') in order to obtain a fully sampled map of the central 2 kpc as well as the radial distribution of molecular gas out to 3 kpc along the major axis.

The SEDIGISM survey: Molecular clouds in the inner Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We use the \(^{13}\0CO (2-1) emission from the SEDIGISM (Structure, Excitation, and Dynamics of the Inner Galactic InterStellar Medium) high-resolution spectral-line survey of the inner Galaxy, to extract the molecular cloud population with a large ...

Chemistry of Molecular Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989
AbstractA discussion is presented of the chemistry of quiescent molecular clouds, and the effects of the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and of cosmic-ray induced ultraviolet photons are examined. A comparison is made with the chemistry occurring in molecular clouds that are subjected to shocks and the differences between ...

Giant Molecular Clouds in M31. I. Molecular Cloud Properties [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2007
We present Berkeley Illinois Maryland Association (BIMA) millimeter interferometer observations of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) along a spiral arm in M31. The observations consist of a survey using the compact configuration of the interferometer and follow-up, higher-resolution observations on a subset of the detections in the survey.

Mutual influence of supernovae and molecular clouds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceContext. Molecular clouds are known to be turbulent and strongly affected by stellar feedback. Moreover, stellar feedback is believed to drive turbulence at large scales in galaxies.Aims.

Molecular Clouds in External Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985
Observations of the large-scale distribution of molecular clouds in external galaxies offer a unique opportunity for investigating galactic evolution. New generations of stars form in these dense regions, and the most massive of these stars recycle their processed interiors into the interstellar medium.

Ultrathin Tropical Tropopause Clouds (UTTCs) : I. Cloud morphology and occurrence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Subvisible cirrus clouds (SVCs) may contribute to dehydration close to the tropical tropopause. The higher and colder SVCs and the larger their ice crystals, the more likely they represent the last efficient point of contact of the gas phase with the ice

Submillimeter and Far-Infrared Polarimetric Observations of Magnetic Fields in Star-Forming Regions

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
Observations of star-forming regions by the current and upcoming generation of submillimeter polarimeters will shed new light on the evolution of magnetic fields over the cloud-to-core size scales involved in the early stages of the star formation ...
