CO line ratios in molecular clouds: the impact of environment
Line emission is strongly dependent on the local environmental conditions in which the emitting tracers reside. In this work, we focus on modelling the CO emission from simulated giant molecular clouds (GMCs), and study the variations in the resulting line ratios arising from the emission from the J = 1–0, J = 2–1, and J = 3–2 transitions. We perform a set of smoothed particle hydrodynamics sim...
متن کاملExciton Dephasing and Thermal Line Broadening in Molecular Aggregates
Using a model of Frenkel excitons coupled to a bath of acoustic phonons in the host medium, we study the temperature dependence of the dephasing rates and homogeneous line width in linear molecular aggregates. The model includes localization by disorder and predicts a power-law thermal scaling of the effective homogeneous line width. The theory gives excellent agreement with temperature depende...
متن کاملPolarized CO emission from molecular clouds
Linearly polarized, non-masing, rotational lines have been detected for the first time in the interstellar medium. This effect occurs in molecular clouds with a magnetic field, and traces the field direction, offering an alternative technique to dust emission polarimetry. The line polarization mechanism is similar to that in masers, but with lower degrees of polarization (∼ 1 %). We have detect...
متن کاملMolecular Line Profiles of Collapsing Gas Clouds
Emission line profiles of tracer molecule H2CO 140 GHz transition from gravitational core collapsing clouds in the dynamic process of forming protostars are calculated, using a simple ray-tracing radiative transfer model. Three self-similar dynamic insideout core collapse models – the conventional polytropic model, the empirical hybrid model and the isothermal model – for star-forming molecular...
متن کاملUsing CO line ratios to trace the physical properties of molecular clouds
The carbon monoxide (CO) rotational transition lines are the most common tracers of molecular gas within giant molecular clouds (MCs). We study the ratio (R2−1/1−0) between CO’s first two emission lines and examine what information it provides about the physical properties of the cloud. To study R2−1/1−0 we perform smooth particle hydrodynamic simulations with time dependent chemistry (using GA...
