The dominant process for the galactic star formation is believed to be the collision between giant molecular clouds. The collision triggers the gravitational collapse of the merged clouds, creating star…
Ordinary boosts of cosmic-rays (CRs) are able to destroy the molecule of CO very efficiently but not H2, creating vast amounts of the so-called ‘CO-dark’ molecular gas. We have found…
Modern observations of the interstellar medium in galaxies detect a variety of atomic and molecular species. The goal is to connect these observations to the astrochemical properties of the ISM.…
I am the main developer of the astrochemical code 3D-PDR. This is an open-source OpenMP-parallelized 3D code. It is specifically designed to treat Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) of arbitrary density distributions.…
