Outline Photodissociation regions The [CII]158  m line The importance of dust grains D/H

Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) A PDR is a region where FUV (6 eV < h < 13.6 eV) radiation dominates the heating and/or some important aspects of the chemistry. Most molecular clouds in our Galaxy have A V < ~5 mag and FUV radiation still plays an important role. IRAS view PDRs are the origin of much of the IR radiation from the ISM.

Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) Kaufman et al The PDR surface temperature typically increases with G o. The effect of lowering the dust abundance is to increase the physical extent of a PDR model.

Observations of [CII] at low and high-z Evidence for enhanced emission at high redshift, probably due to lower metallicities. [CII] The 2 P 3/2  2 P 1/2 fine-structure line of C + at  m is generally the brightest emission line in the spectrum of galaxies, accounting as much as ~0.1-1% of their total luminosity. high-z low-z Maiolino+05,09 Iono+06

Summary The [CII]158  m is the brightest emission line in the spectrum of galaxies. Good tracer of the “dark” molecular mass. ALMA (z  10!). PDRs are the origin of much of the IR radiation from the ISM. Rich chemistry (low & high T). [CII] Dust: efficient formation of molecules (e.g. H 2 O) on grain surfaces. Main cause of freeze-out & chemical differentiation.

At z>7 galaxies could be identified through the detection of high order CO lines, J upper >7... are these transitions excited? z at high J rapid drop of intensity... bad news for ALMA: difficult to use CO at z>7, unusable at z>10 (Weiss et al. 2005) Observations of [CII] at high-z
