2 n CRDRs (CRs/SNe) n MDRs (shocks) n PDRs (UV/SBs) n XDRs (X-ray/AGN)

3 Multi-Phase Medium; heating by CRs or dust (Wolfire et al. 2003; Spaans & Norman 1997; Field et al. 1969)

4 Metallicity & Multi-Phase ISM : n Lower metallicity yields smaller molecular clouds n X-factor: CO/H 2 Mihos et al. (1999), Bolatto et al. (1999), Roellig et al. (2006)

5 CR protons upto 100 MeV listed: H 2 ionization, while 1-20 GeV CRs responsible for bulk of π 0 mesons → 2γ and, e.g., pp→pnπ +

6 n Effects of CRs? n One often has a UV irradiated cloud edge n PDR model with CR rate = 5x10 -15 s -1 ; so SN rate for ~100 M 0 /yr n Note small changes in C, OH and H 2 O

7 n CR ionization acts deep in molecular clouds (similar to XDRs)

8 PDRs: 6 < E < 13.6 eV n Heating: Photo-electric emission from grains and cosmic rays n Cooling: Fine-structure lines like [OI] 63, 145; [CII] 158 μm and emission by H 2, CO, H 2 O n 10 eV photon penetrates 0.5 mag of dust n Heating efficiency ~ 0.1 – 1.0 %

9 XDRs: E > 1 keV n Heating: X-ray photo-ionization --> fast electrons - Coulomb heating H and H 2 vib excitation - UV n Cooling: [FeII] 1.26, 1.64; [OI] 63; [CII] 158; [SiII] 35 μm; thermal H 2 vib; gas-dust n 1 keV photon penetrates 10 22 cm -2 of N H n Heating efficiency ~ 10 – 50 %

10 n PDR (left) with n=10 5 cm -3 and G=10 3.5 n XDR with n=10 5 cm -3 and F X = 5.1 erg s -1 cm -3 n Note N H dependence H 2, C +, C, CO, OH, etc.

11 ------------------------------------------------------- CR heating: ~8 eV per H 2 ionization (H, He slightly different Cravens & Dalgarno 1978)

14 CRs can dominate gas heating for SFR > 100 Mo/yr; think of Arp220 and IMF through M Jeans (Papadopoulos 2010)

15 CRs drive ionization and shift C + -C-CO transition

16 CRs drive ionization, form molecular ions

17 Particularly oxygen bearing ones!

18 BUT: CRs ≠ X-rays; only very high CR rates boost OH + and H 2 O + (fine- structure lines little affected by CRs)

22 How about shocks? M82, shock tracer SiO 2-1 + 4.8 GHz radio (García-Burillo et al. 2001, IRAM PdB)

23 M82, CO 6-5 (116K; Ward et al. 2003, CSO)

24 Jump Conditions

25 J-Shocks of > 50 km/s lead to high compression, molecule dissociation and reformation in the shock wake

26 J-shock structure

27 J-shock chemistry

28 Summary n CRs (strongly) affect cloud chemistry (in SBs) and can be distinguished from XDRs and shocks through OH, H 2 O, OH +, H 2 O +, H 3 O + and high-J CO; not through fine-structure and low-J CO lines if UV irradiation acts n For the future, ALMA will be crucial to provide spatial information on CR exposed molecular clouds
