Journal ArticleDOI

Millimetron-a large Russian-European submillimeter space observatory

TL;DR: In this article, a Russian-led 12 m diameter sub-millimeter and far-infrared space observatory is proposed for launch around 2017, which will enable unique science and allow at least one order of magnitude improvement with respect to the Herschel Space Observatory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photon-dominated regions around cool stars: The effects of the color temperature of the radiation field

TL;DR: In this article, the photoelectric efficiency of heating by large molecules such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and very small grains for radiation fields characterized by different effective temperatures was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostics of the molecular component of photon-dominated regions with mechanical heating

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of dissipated turbulence on the thermal and chemical properties of PDRs is explored, and the effects of mechanical heating on the temperature profiles, column densities of CO and H2O and column density ratios of HNC, HCN and HCO+ are discussed.
