Molecular hydrogen is the most abundant molecule in the universe. It is the first one to form
and survive photo-dissociation in tenuous environments. Its formation involves catalytic …

The introduction of chemistry into astronomy is relatively recent and can be dated back to
about half a century ago, when molecules were discovered in space. In the 1930s it was …

We present and discuss the results of the Herschel Gould Belt survey (HGBS) observations
in an~ 11 deg 2 area of the Aquila molecular cloud complex at d~ 260 pc, imaged with the …

We present the Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCC), an all-sky catalogue of
Galactic cold clump candidates detected by Planck. This catalogue is the full version of the …

We present a detailed study of the Orion B molecular cloud complex (d~ 400 pc), which was
imaged with the PACS and SPIRE photometric cameras at wavelengths from 70 to 500 μm …

Cosmic dust is present in many astrophysical objects, and recent observations across the
electromagnetic spectrum show that the dust distribution is often strongly three-dimensional …

We perform a census of the reddest, and potentially youngest, protostars in the Orion
molecular clouds using data obtained with the PACS instrument on board the Herschel …

We compare the structure of star-forming molecular clouds in different regions of Orion A to
determine how the column density probability distribution function (N-PDF) varies with …

Star formation is a multi-scale, multi-physics problem ranging from the size scale of
molecular clouds (∼ 10 ∼10 s pc) down to the size scales of dense prestellar cores (∼ 0.1 …

Utilizing multiwavelength dust emission maps acquired with Herschel, we reconstruct local
volume density and dust temperature profiles for the prestellar cores B68 and L1689B using …
