The Excitation of Water in the S140 Photon Dominated Region

TL;DR: In this article, the excitation of water in the Photon Dominated Region (PDR) S140 was considered and the level populations of ortho- and para-H(2)O up to similar to 350 K (i.e., 8 levels), as well as line intensities for various transitions.

Magnetic fields during primordial star formation

TL;DR: In this article, a lower limit of 10−15 G for the magnetic field strength in the intergalactic medium (IGM) was provided, which is consistent with theoretical expectations based on the Biermann battery effect, which predicts such IGM fields already at redshifts z~10 during gravitational collapse.

The deeply obscured AGN of NGC 4945

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the spatial distribution of ISM emission features in the central 426 × 426 pc 2 of NGC 4945 and obtained an extinction map (AV) based on the apparent strength of the 97 μm silicate absorption feature.
