Mapping NGC 7027 in New Light: CO+ and HCO+ Emission Reveal Its Photon- and X-Ray-dominated Regions

Mapping NGC 7027 in New Light: CO+ and HCO+ Emission Reveal Its Photon- and X-Ray-dominated Regions

The young and well-studied planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7027 harbors significant molecular gas that is irradiated by luminous, pointlike UV (central star) and diffuse (shocked nebular) X-ray emission. This nebula represents an excellent subject to investigate the molecular chemistry and physical condit...
