Enigma of H3 + in Diffuse Interstellar Clouds
1. INTRODUCTION H 3 + is of fundamental importance to interstellar chemistry both because it is a hydrogenic species (and >90% of all nuclei in the universe are hydrogen nuclei; see Figure 1) and because it serves as the universal protonator, initiating a chain of ion-neutral reactions that is responsible for the formation of most interstellar molecules. The chemistry of H 3 + in dense (molecul...
متن کاملExtragalactic molecular clouds and chemistry of diffuse interstellar clouds
Zusammenfassung Since the discovery of a cold molecular component of the interstellar medium in the 1970s, it has been realized that most of the dark clouds are actually molecular clouds, consisting mainly of molecular hydrogen and some amount of dust and other molecules. Nowadays, molecular clouds are recognized as places of star-formation in the Milky Way and other galaxies. Therefore, studie...
متن کاملThe chemistry of fluorine-bearing molecules in diffuse and dense interstellar gas clouds
We present a theoretical investigation of the chemistry of fluorine-bearing molecules in diffuse and dense interstellar gas clouds, combining recent estimates for the rates of relevant chemical reactions with a self-consistent model for the physical and chemical conditions within gas clouds that are exposed to the interstellar ultraviolet radiation field. The chemistry of interstellar fluorine ...
متن کاملThe Thinnest Cold Hi Clouds in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium?
We confirm and discuss recently discovered cold HI clouds with column densities among the lowest ever detected. The column densities of Cold Neutral Medium (CNM) towards 3C286 and 3C287 are ∼ 10 cm, below an observational lower limit, and also below tiny-scale-atomic clouds detected by VLBI and time-variable profiles against pulsars. These column densities are close to the minimum imposed by th...
متن کاملThe Chemistry of Complex Molecules in Interstellar Clouds
This paper is concerned with the chemical evolution of large molecules in interstellar clouds. We consider the chemistry and ionisation balance of large PAH-type molecules in di use clouds and show that certain PAH molecules can be doubly ionised by the interstellar ultraviolet radiation eld. If recombination of the dications so-produced with electrons is dissociative rather than radiative, the...
