Photodissociation regions. I - Basic model. II - A model for the Orion photodissociation region
Abstract
A theoretical parameter study of the temperature and chemical structure of dense photodissociation regions and their resultant spectrum is presented. Models are discussed which are relevant not only to the dust and gas between molecular clouds and H II regions, but also apply to any neutral cloud illuminated by intense FUV fluxes. The models relate observed line and continuum emission from these regions to physical parameters such as the gas density and temperature, the elemental and chemical abundances, the local radiation field, and the grain properties. The results are applied to observational data from the OMC-1 region. The model shows that the observed high brightness temperature of the C I 609 microns line can be explained by emission from the C(+)/C/CO transition region. This difference with previous chemical models is due to a higher gas phase elemental abundance of carbon, to the charge exchange reactions of C(+) with S and SiO, and to carbon self-shielding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
