Detection of H 3 1 in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium Toward Cygnus OB
نویسندگان
چکیده
The molecular ion H3 1 is considered the cornerstone of interstellar chemistry because it initiates the reactions responsible for the production of many larger molecules. Recently discovered in dense molecular clouds, H3 1 has now been observed in the diffuse interstellar medium toward Cygnus OB2 No. 12. Analysis of H3 1 chemistry suggests that the high H3 1 column density (3.8 3 10 per square centimeter) is due not to a high H3 1

متن کاملDetection of in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium: the Galactic Center
Absorption lines of have been detected in the spectra of two infrared sources in the Galactic 3 center and also toward the heavily reddened star Cygnus OB2 No. 12, whose line of sight is believed to include only di†use interstellar gas. The absorptions toward the Galactic center sources (IRS 3 and GCS 3-2) probably are due to both in di†use gas and in molecular clouds. The ratios of line equiva...
متن کاملKinematic signatures of violent formation of galactic OB associations from Hipparcos measurements
Proper motions measured by Hipparcos confirm the large anomalous velocities of the OB associations located around the Cygnus Superbubble (Cygnus OB1, OB3, OB7, and OB9), and reveal a clearly organized expanding pattern in Canis MajorOB1.At the distances of these associations, the organized velocity patterns imply LSR velocities of up to ∼ 60 km s−1 for the associations in Cygnus, and about ∼ 15...
متن کاملGamma-ray line emission from OB associations and young open clusters
Gamma-ray and microwave observations of the Cygnus region reveal an intense signal of 1.809 MeV line emission, attributed to radioactive decay of Al, that is closely correlated with 53 GHz free-free emission, originating from the ionised interstellar medium. We modelled both emissions using a multi-wavelength evolutionary synthesis code for massive star associations that we applied to the known...
متن کاملCygnus OB2 – a young globular cluster in the Milky Way
The morphology and stellar content of the Cygnus OB2 association has been determined using 2MASS infrared observations in the J , H , and K bands. The analysis reveals a spherically symmetric association of ∼ 2◦ in diameter with a half light radius of 13′, corresponding to Rh = 6.4 pc at an assumed distance of 1.7 kpc. The interstellar extinction for member stars ranges from AV ≈ 5m to 20m, whi...
