Abstract:CF$^ $ has been established as a valuable diagnostic tool for investigating photodissociation regions (PDRs) and fluorine abundances in the Milky Way. However, its role in extragalactic environments remains largely uncharted. Our objective is to explore the significance of CF$^ $ in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and assess its utility as a probe for examining C$^ $ and fluorine abundances in external galaxies. We performed pointed CF$^ $ observations toward an active star-forming region, N113 in the LMC, us… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
