Low-density photodissociation regions
Abstract
A theoretical parameter study of the temperature and chemical structure of photodissociation regions (PDRs) and their resultant spectrum is presented. The models, which solve for the chemical and thermal steady state of a one-dimensional slab exposed to an incident FUV flux, relate the observed line and continuum emission from these regions to physical parameters of interest. Intensities of numerous fine-structure lines, the molecular rotational transitions (C-12)O J = 1-0 and H2 0-0 S(0), and the dust continuum intensities at 60 and 100 microns are predicted, and the column density of FUV-pumped vibrationally excited H2 is estimated.
