Herschel/HIFI measurements of the ortho/para ratio in water towards Sagittarius B2(M) and W31C

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental rotational transitions of ortho-and para-H$_2^{16}$O and H$_ 2^{18]$O in absorption towards Sagittarius~B2(M) and W31C were observed and a low ortho/para ratio of $2.35 \pm 0.35 was derived.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atomic and molecular gas in the merger galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A) and its environment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and interpret observations of atomic and molecular gas toward the southern elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A), a strong double-lobe radio source with a disturbed optical morphology that includes numerous shells and loops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electron densities and the excitation of CN in molecular clouds

TL;DR: In molecular clouds of modest density and relatively high fractional ionization, the rotational excitation of CN is controlled by a competition among electron impact, neutral impact and the interaction with the cosmic background radiation as mentioned in this paper.
