Journal ArticleDOI

High-resolution HNC 3-2 SMA observations of Arp 220

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of the nuclear molecular gas of the ultra luminous merger Arp 220 and the effects of a nuclear source on gas excitation and chemistry were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of Lyman α trapping on the formation of primordial objects

TL;DR: In this article, the results of high-resolution 3D cosmological simulations of the formation of primordial objects using the adaptive mesh refinement code FLASH by including in an approximate manner the radiative transfer effects of Lyman alpha photons are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostics of the molecular component of photon-dominated regions with mechanical heating. II. Line intensities and ratios

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of mechanical heating on atomic fine-structure and molecular lines and their ratios were investigated and the equilibria were solved for numerically using the optimized version of the Leiden PDR-XDR code.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostics of the molecular component of PDRs with mechanical heating. II: line intensities and ratios

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of mechanical heating (MH) on atomic fine-structure and molecular lines, and their ratios, were investigated and the equilibria were solved for numerically using the optimized version of the Leiden PDR-XDR code.
