Die Physik und Chemie des warmen interstellaren Mediums. Teil 1: Photonendominierte Regionen.
Abstract
When the radiation field of newly born stars hits the surface of a nearby interstellar molecular cloud, the UV photons heat the gas locally and change its properties. Such a place is called a photon-dominated region (PDR). In this paper the physical and chemical properties of a PDR and its connection to star formation are described.
