An atomic and molecular database for analysis of submillimetre line observations
read the original abstract
Atomic and molecular data for the transitions of a number of astrophysically interesting species are summarized, including energy levels, statistical weights, Einstein A-coefficients and collisional rate coefficients. Available collisional data from quantum chemical calculations and experiments are extrapolated to higher energies. These data, which are made publically available through the WWW at http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~moldata, are essential input for non-LTE line radiative transfer programs. An online version of a computer program for performing statistical equilibrium calculations is also made available as part of the database. Comparisons of calculated emission lines using different sets of collisional rate coefficients are presented. This database should form an important tool in analyzing observations from current and future (sub)millimetre and infrared telescopes.

Velocity-resolved [O I] 63,145 um, [C II] 158 um, and OH mapping along the Orion BN/KL explosive outflow and irradiated shocks
Velocity-resolved [O I] maps of the Orion BN/KL outflow yield a total luminosity of 86.5 L_sun and line ratios indicating dense (10^5–10^6 cm^-3), warm (~500 K) postshock gas from 30–40 km/s dissociative J-type shocks...

Escape of Water- and Metal-enriched Atmospheres from compact Hot mini-Neptunes with CHAIN
Water- and metal-rich atmospheres on compact hot mini-Neptunes lose mass more slowly than H/He cases at high enrichment levels due to enhanced cooling and higher mean molecular weight.

Probing outflow physics through CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$OH chemistry
The CH₃OH/CH₃CN ratio in the S68N outflow is constant at ~100-200 and matches gas-phase astrochemical models only when cosmic-ray ionization rates are raised to ~10^{-14} s^{-1}.

A HINSA view of cosmic-ray ionization in IC 348 and NGC 1333: evidence for a strong low-energy cosmic-ray disparity
HINSA observations show CRIR decreasing with H2 column density in both clouds, with IC 348 values an order of magnitude above NGC 1333, modeled as an order-of-magnitude difference in low-energy CR populations from loc...

Complex organic molecules in the young hot core RCW 120 S2
APEX 1.3 mm observations of RCW120 S2 detect COMs including CH3OH, CH3CHO, CH3OCHO and CH3OCH3, reveal a radially stratified envelope, and show modest abundance mismatches with hot-core chemical models attributed to u...
