In this article, the effects of metallicity and cloud extinction on the predicted line intensities were examined for PDR models with densities over the range n=10^1-10^7 cm^-3.Abstract:
Photodissociation Region (PDR) models are computed over a wide range of physical conditions, from those appropriate to giant molecular clouds illuminated by the interstellar radiation field to the conditions experienced by circumstellar disks very close to hot massive stars. These models use the most up-to-date values of atomic and molecular data, the most current chemical rate coefficients, and the newest grain photoelectric heating rates which include treatments of small grains and large molecules. In addition, we examine the effects of metallicity and cloud extinction on the predicted line intensities. Results are presented for PDR models with densities over the range n=10^1-10^7 cm^-3 and for incident far-ultraviolet radiation fields over the range G_0=10^-0.5-10^6.5, for metallicities Z=1 and 0.1 times the local Galactic value, and for a range of PDR cloud sizes. We present line strength and/or line ratio plots for a variety of useful PDR diagnostics: [C II] 158 micron, [O I] 63 and 145 micron, [C I] 370 and 609 micron, CO J=1-0, J=2-1, J=3-2, J=6-5 and J=15-14, as well as the strength of the far-infrared continuum. These plots will be useful for the interpretation of Galactic and extragalactic far infrared and submillimeter spectra observable with ISO, SOFIA, SWAS, FIRST and other orbital and suborbital platforms. As examples, we apply our results to ISO and ground based observations of M82, NGC 278, and the Large Magellenic Cloud.read more

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used pixelated, visibility-based lens modeling to reconstruct the source-plane emission of SPT 0346-52 and found that molecular gas dominates the mass of the ISM in SPT-0346−52, with the molecular gas mass ∼4× higher than the neutral atomic gas mass and ∼100 times higher than ionized gas mass.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated properties of [CII]158 $\mu$m emission of RCW36 in a dense filamentary cloud, which is spatially in good agreement with shelllike structures of a bipolar lobe observed in IR images, which extend along the direction perpendicular to the direction of a cold dense filament.

Filament L1482 in the California molecular cloud
TL;DR: In this article, the process of gravitational fragmentation in the L1482 molecular filament of the California molecular cloud is studied by combining several complementary observations and physical estimates, which suggests that these molecular filaments are thermally supercritical and molecular clumps may form by gravitational fragmentation along the filament.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Herschel-PACS spectroscopy of four main-sequence star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 1.5213 was presented, and the authors measured a line luminosity, L[OI]63μm=(3.9±0.7)×109 -=L☉.
