Journal ArticleDOI
The IRAS 2 and IRAS 4 Outflows and Star Formation in NGC 1333
TL;DR: In this article, the first detection of the western bow shock component from IRAS 2 in NGC 1333 along with observations of previously detected shocks and outflow winds from this source and those of IRAS 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematics and properties of the central molecular zone as probed with [C ii]
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the longitude and latitude-velocity maps of the [C+] line to identify features of the UV irradiated neutral gas, photon dominated regions (PDRs) and CO-dark H 2, and highly ionized gas in the Galactic central molecular zone (CMZ) as traced by the fine structure line of C + at 158 μ m, and characterize their properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Physical and Chemical Status of Pre-protostellar Core B68
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the physical and chemical status of the pre-protostellar core B68 and concluded that B68 is thermally dominated with little contribution from turbulence support.
Journal Article
Laboratory and Astronomical Detection of the Deuterated Ethynyl Radical CCD
TL;DR: Two rotational transitions of CCD were detected in a laboratory glow discharge through deuterated acetylene and helium, after which one, N = 2-1, was detected toward the rich molecular cloud behind the Orion Nebula.
Journal ArticleDOI
The scale height of gas traced by [C ii] in the Galactic plane
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the average distribution of [C ii] perpendicular to the plane in the inner Galactic disk and compared it to the distributions of other key gas tracers, such as CO and H i.
