X - and Gamma - Ray Line Emission Processes
This chapter is intended to provide a general presentation of the atomic and nuclear processes responsible for X-ray line and gamma-ray line emission in various astrophysical environments. I consider line production from hot plasmas, from accelerated particle interactions , from the decay of radioactive nuclei synthesized in stars and from positron annihilation. Spectroscopic properties of thes...
متن کاملCold dust and molecular line emission
In this paper we present new observations of the interstellar medium in the non-interacting edge-on galaxy NGC5907. We have observed the J = 2 − 1 and J = 1 − 0 lines of the 12CO molecule and radio continuum emission at λ 1.2mm. The distribution of the molecular gas (as traced by CO) shows amaximum in the central region and a ring or spiral armat r ∼ 7 kpc. Further analysis of themajor axis dis...
متن کاملImportant Atomic and Molecular Processes in Galactic Chemistry
We discuss a variety of processes important in determining the chemical composition within interstellar and circumstellar clouds. Much of the gas-phase chemistry has been well-studied in the laboratory, although we point out several processes for which information is scarce. In recent years it has become apparent that grain surface chemistry plays a much bigger role in synthesising molecules th...
متن کاملAtomic and Molecular Emission Lines from the Red Rectangle
HD 44179 is the binary, post–asymptotic giant branch, central star of the Red Rectangle Nebula. Echelle spectra of the star have been obtained over a wavelength range from about 3800 to 10000 8 at a resolving power R 1⁄4 38; 000. A maximum S/N of 850 was achieved near 6800 8. Fifty-seven identified atomic or ionic emission lines of 12 elements are detected in the star’s spectrum, along with 76 ...
متن کاملAtomic Carbon Emission from Individual Molecular Clouds in M33
We present observations of the 492 GHz [CI] emission for four individual giant molecular clouds in the Local Group galaxy M33 obtained with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The average [CI] to CO J=1-0 integrated intensity ratio of 0.10± 0.03 is similar to what is observed in Galactic molecular clouds but smaller than what is seen in starburst galaxies. Similarly, the column density ratio N(C...
