(Abridged) Mid- and far-infrared observations of the environment around embedded protostars reveal a plethora of high excitation molecular and atomic emission lines. In this work we present spectro-imaging observations of the HH211 system with Herschel/PACS that record emission from major molecular (CO, H2O and OH) and atomic coolants (e.g. [OI]). Molecular lines are mainly exited at the terminal bowshocks of the outflow and around the position of the protostar. All lines show maxima at the southeast bowshock with the exception of water emission that peaks around the central source. Excitation analysis in all positions shows that CO and H$_2$O are mainly thermally excited at T~ 350 K and 90 K respectively, with the CO showing a second temperature component at 750 K towards the southeast peak. Excitation analysis breaks down in the case of OH, indicating that the molecule is non-thermally excited. Comparisons between the CO and H2 column densities suggest that the CO abundance value in shocks can be up to an order of magnitude lower than the canonical value of 10$^{-4}$. The water ortho-to-para ratio around the protostar is only 0.65, indicating low-temperature water ice formation followed by non-destructive photodesorption from the dust grains. Therefore the low ortho-to-para ratio in water that can be interpreted in terms of formation from a primordial gas reservoir in the protostellar envelope. The two-sided total atomic mass flux estimated from the [OI] jet sums to 1.65$times 10^{-6}$ M$_{odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, a value that is very close to the mass flux previously estimated for the SiO jet and the H$_2$ outflow. These comparisons render HH211 the first embedded system where an atomic jet is demonstrably shown to possess enough momentum to drive the observed molecular jets and large scale outflows.
Aims: We employ archival Spitzer slit-scan observations of the HH211 outflow in order to investigate its warm gas content, assess the jet mass flux in the form of H2 and probe for the existence of an embedded atomic jet. Methods: Detected molecular a
We investigate on the spatial and velocity distribution of H2O along the L1448 outflow, its relationship with other tracers, and its abundance variations, using maps of the o-H2O 1_{10}-1_{01} and 2_{12}-1_{01} transitions taken with the Herschel-HIF
We present an analysis of Spitzer-IRS spectroscopic maps of the L1157 protostellar outflow in the H2 pure-rotational lines from S(0) to S(7). The aim of this work is to derive the physical conditions pertaining to the warm molecular gas and study the
We present key results from the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey (HOPS): spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and model fits of 330 young stellar objects, predominantly protostars, in the Orion molecular clouds. This is the largest sample of protostar
The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) is the closest planetary nebulae. Therefore, it is an ideal template for photochemical studies at small spatial scales in planetary nebulae. We aim to study the spatial distribution of the atomic and the molecular gas, and
