Infrared pumping of molecular lines in PDRs
by Manuel Gonzalez Garcia (OBSPM)

Abstract:
The arrival of new instruments such as Herschel or ALMA opens new resarch possibilities. Astrophysical models such as the Meudon PDR code will be very important to prepare and analyse furure observations. We will explain how we have improved the grain model of PDR Meudon code, by making an interface with DUSTEM code. We will also explain that an exact computation of the infrared pumping term has to be done if we want to accurately describe excitation of some molecules, such as water. Finally we will show how these improvements permits us to describe the objects S140 and M82.
Submm-to-radio observations of molecular and atomic gas in massive high-redshift galaxies

The current generation of large single-dish submm/radio-wavelength telescopes and interferometers have opened up the study of gas and dust in galaxies and AGN out to the epoch of reionization at z>6. The IRAM facilities have been at the forefront of this revolution, and I will present our most recent results of an ongoing survey of dust continuum emission and molecular CO line emission in z~6 quasars using the CSO, the IRAM 30m, the PdBI and the GBT. I will also present our first attempts at using observations of redshifted CO line emission as a means of measuring redshifts for dust-obscured submm galaxies. Finally, I will discuss some of the applications of redshifted atomic lines such as neutral and ionized Carbon for studying star-formation in the first galaxies.
