Starburst Energy Feedback Seen through HCO+/HOC+ Emission in NGC 253 from ALCHEMI

Abstract: Molecular abundances are sensitive to the UV photon flux and cosmic-ray ionization rate. In starburst environments, the effects of high-energy photons and particles are expected to be stronger. We examine these astrochemical signatures through multiple transitions of HCO+ and its metastable isomer HOC+ in the center of the starburst galaxy NGC 253 using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array large program ALMA Comprehensive High-resolution Extragalactic Molecular inventory. The distribution… Show more

“…The column densities we obtain are typically an order of magnitude lower than those obtained from measurements of the dust (Mangum et al 2019). However, they are consistent with the H 2 column densities derived from observations of C 18 O (Harada et al 2021). This agreement is important as RADEX relies on species column densities.…”

“…The range of likely density values for each region overlaps very well with those derived from the ALCHEMI observations of C 2 H (Holdship et al 2021). They also fall well within the range of 1 × 10 5 -1 × 10 6 cm −3 found in other ALCHEMI work (Harada et al 2021) and elsewhere (Leroy et al 2018). Given how strongly correlated ζ is with this parameter, it is key that these values are accurate.…”
