Deuterated molecules as a probe of ionization fraction in dense interstellar clouds
The ionization degree x(e) (= n(e)/n(H2), with n(e) and n(H2) the electron and H2 number density, respectively) plays a key role in the chemical and dynamical evolution of interstellar clouds. Gas phase ion–molecule reactions are major chemical routes to the formation of interstellar molecules. The time scale for ambipolar diffusion of neutrals across field lines is proportional to the ionizati...
متن کاملInterstellar Triply Deuterated Ammonia
Research on interstellar ND3 is reviewed and updated from the discovery papers. Results from observations of a dozen sources at centimeter and submillimeter wavelengths are presented. The two data sets are consistent, but do not constrain the excitation conditions in the ND3emitting gas. The column density ratios of NH3/NH2D, NH2D/ND2H and ND3/ND2H, observed in similar sized beams, are ≈10, and...
متن کاملThe Chemistry of Complex Molecules in Interstellar Clouds
This paper is concerned with the chemical evolution of large molecules in interstellar clouds. We consider the chemistry and ionisation balance of large PAH-type molecules in di use clouds and show that certain PAH molecules can be doubly ionised by the interstellar ultraviolet radiation eld. If recombination of the dications so-produced with electrons is dissociative rather than radiative, the...

1.25 Over the past 40 years, about 140 distinct molecular species have been detected in a wide range of astronomical locations (see http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~awootten/ allmols.html). We now know that molecules are present within our galaxy in the atmospheres of cool stars, in stellar envelopes, in planetary nebulae, in the ejecta of novae and supernovae, in diffuse and dense clouds in the interst...
متن کاملZeeman splitting in interstellar molecules
The Zeeman splitting that a longitudinal magnetic field would produce on the ethynyl radical is calculated for the transitions typical of those observed in the interstellar clouds. It turns out that the ubiquitous CCH radical adds to the list of the few interstellar molecules that could be used to determine magnetic fields in molecular clouds.
