We consider the excitation of water in the Photon Dominated Region (PDR). With the use of a three-dimensional escape probability method we compute the level populations of ortho- and para-H_2O up to 350 K (i.e., 8 levels), as well as line intensities for various transitions. Homogeneous and inhomogeneous models are presented with densities of 10^4-10^5 cm^{-3} and the differences between the resulting intensities are displayed. Density, temperature, and abundance distributions inside the cloud are computed with the use of a self-consistent physi-chemical (in)homogeneous model in order to reproduce the line intensities observed with SWAS, and to make predictions for various lines that HIFI will probe in the future. Line intensities vary from 10^{-13} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1} to a few times 10^{-6} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1}. We can reproduce the intensity for the 1_{10}-1_{01} line observed by the SWAS satellite. It is found that the 2_{12}-1_{01} line is the strongest, whereas the 3_{12}-2_{21} line is the weakest, in all the models. It is found that the 1_{10}-1_{01} line probes the total column, while higher excitation lines probe the higher density gas (e.g., clumps).
A radiative transfer method for the treatment of molecular lines is presented. We apply this method to previous SWAS and ISO observations of water vapor in the source S140 in order to make models to plan for, and to interpret, HIFI data. Level popula
Mon R2, at a distance of 830 pc, is the only ultracompact HII region (UC HII) where the photon-dominated region (PDR) between the ionized gas and the molecular cloud can be resolved with Herschel. HIFI observations of the abundant compounds 13CO, C18
In this paper we discuss the physical conditions of clumpy nature in the IC 348 molecular cloud. We combine new observations of fully sampled maps in [C I] at 492 GHz and 12CO 4--3, taken with the KOSMA 3 m telescope at about 1 resolution, with FCR
We have used the Odin satellite to obtain strip maps of the ground-state rotational transitions of ortho-water and ortho-ammonia, as well as CO(5-4) and 13CO(5-4) across the PDR, and H218O in the central position. A physi-chemical inhomogeneous PDR m
We present a detailed theoretical study of the rotational excitation of CH$^+$ due to reactive and nonreactive collisions involving C$^+(^2P)$, H$_2$, CH$^+$, H and free electrons. Specifically, the formation of CH$^+$ proceeds through the reaction b
