Interstellar Ices as Witnesses of Star Formation: Selective Deuteration of Water and Organic Molecules Unveiled

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explain the selective deuteration of organic molecules and water by following the formation of ices in translucent clouds, as well as their evolution as the cloud collapses to form a star.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular hydrogen formation on dust grains in the high-redshift universe

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of molecular hydrogen on dust grain surfaces and apply their results to the high-redshift universe was studied and it was found that a range of physical parameters such as dust temperature and gas temperature, but not so much dust surface composition, influenced the formation rate of H2.
Journal ArticleDOI

WATER VAPOR EMISSION REVEALS A HIGHLY OBSCURED, STAR-FORMING NUCLEAR REGION IN THE QSO HOST GALAXY APM 08279+5255 AT z = 3.9

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the detection of four rotational emission lines of water vapor, from energy levels E u/k = 101-454 K, in the gravitationally lensed z = 3.9 QSO host galaxy APM?08279+5255.
