Multiply-deuterated species in prestellar cores (2004)
Journal Article
Flower, D., Pineau des Forêts, G., & Walmsley, C. (2004). Multiply-deuterated species in prestellar cores. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 427(3), 887-893. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361%3A20041464

We have studied the ortho, para, and, in the case of D3+, meta forms of the multiply-deuterated isotopes of H3+, under physical conditions believed to be appropriate to pre-protostellar cores. As deuterons have integral nuclear spin, I = 1, Bose-Eins... Read More about Multiply-deuterated species in prestellar cores.

The rotational excitation of methanol by para-hydrogen (2004)
Journal Article
Pottage, J., Flower, D., & Davis, S. (2004). The rotational excitation of methanol by para-hydrogen. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 352(1), 39-43. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.07888.x

In this paper, we present the results of calculations of cross-sections and rate coefficients for rotationally inelastic transitions in methanol (CH3OH), in its ground torsional state, induced by collisions with para-H2 in its ground rotational state...

The influence of grains on the propagation and structure of C-type shock waves in interstellar molecular clouds (2003)
Journal Article
Flower, D., & Pineau des Forêts, G. (2003). The influence of grains on the propagation and structure of C-type shock waves in interstellar molecular clouds. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 343(2), 390-400. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06716.x

Gas–grain interactions can have important consequences for the physics and chemistry of shock waves propagating in molecular clouds. The grains can be both a source and a sink of molecules, and their inertia can modify the dynamics of the propagation...

New determinations of the critical velocities of C-type shock waves in dense molecular clouds: application to the outflow source in Orion (2002)
Journal Article
Le Bourlot, J., Pineau des Forêts, G., Flower, D., & Cabrit, S. (2002). New determinations of the critical velocities of C-type shock waves in dense molecular clouds: application to the outflow source in Orion. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 332(4), 985-993. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2002.05373.x

We report calculations of the intensities of rovibrational transitions of H2 emitted from C-type shock waves propagating in molecular gas. Attention was paid to the thermal balance of the gas and to the rates of collisional dissociation and ionizatio...
