Chlorine Chemistry in the Interstellar Medium
Prior to the launch of Herschel, HCl was the only chlorine-containing molecule detected in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, chemical models have identified chloronium, H2Cl, as a relatively abundant species that is potentially detectable. H2Cl was predicted to be most abundant in the environments where the ultraviolet radiation is strong: in diffuse clouds, or near the surfaces of dense ...
متن کاملThe chemistry of transient microstructure in the diffuse interstellar medium
Transient microstructure in the diffuse interstellar medium has been observed towards galactic and extragalactic sources for decades, usually in lines of atoms and ions, and, more recently, in molecular lines. Evidently, there is a molecular component to the transient microstructure. In this paper we explore the chemistry that may arise in such microstructure. We use a PDR code to model the con...
متن کاملWidespread Rotationally-hot Hydronium Ion in the Galactic Interstellar Medium
We present new Herschel observations of the (6,6) and (9,9) inversion transitions of the hydronium ion toward Sagittarius B2(N) and W31C. Sensitive observations toward Sagittarius B2(N) show that the high, ∼500 K, rotational temperatures characterizing the population of the highly-excited metastable H3O + rotational levels are present over a wide range of velocities corresponding to the Sagitta...
متن کاملStructure Function Studies for Turbulent Interstellar Medium
We study structure functions of rotation measures in the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) region and the North Galactic Pole (NGP) to extract the interstellar medium (ISM) fluctuation information. The CGPS data are divided into three longitude intervals: 82 < l < 96 (CGPS1), 115 < l < 130 (CGPS2) and 130 < l < 146 (CGPS3). The structure functions of all three regions have large uncertainti...
متن کاملReaction kinetics at very low temperatures: laboratory studies and interstellar chemistry.
Studies of gas-phase processes at temperatures down to 10 K have recently blossomed, largely through application of the CRESU (cinétique de réaction en ecoulement supersonique uniforme) technique. The results are of considerable relevance to the synthesis of molecules in dense interstellar clouds, demonstrating that the models developed to explain the observed molecular abundances must be expan...
