Journal ArticleDOI

Infrared dark clouds on the far side of the Galaxy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used THz absorption spectroscopy to solve the distance ambiguity associated with kinematic distances for the IR-dark clouds in the TOP100 ATLASGAL sample, a flux limited selection of massive clumps in different evolutionary phases of star formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

SPICA and the Chemical Evolution of Galaxies: The Rise of Metals and Dust

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how SPICA observations could be exploited to understand key aspects in the chemical evolution of galaxies: the assembly of nearby galaxies based on the spatial distribution of heavy element abundances, the global content of metals in galaxies reaching the knee of the luminosity function up to $z \sim 3$, and the dust composition of galaxies at high-$z$.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Herschel-HIFI view of mid-IR quiet massive protostellar objects

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present Herschel/HIFI observations (WISH KP) of 14 water lines in a small sample of galactic massive protostellar objects: NGC6334I(N), DR21(OH), IRAS16272-4837, and IRAS05358+3543.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the formation pathways of formamide - Near young O-type stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined high angular resolution (0.2″) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array maps of six sources in three high-mass star-forming regions and compared the spatial extent, integrated emission peak position, and velocity structure of HNCO and H2 CO line emission with that of NH2 CHO through spectral modeling.
