SOFIA will determine the chemistry of disks as a function of radius
• The cartoon of a rotating disk above is color-coded as a function of r• We have only a general idea of where species may be located in disks

• High spectral resolution (R>105) can determine where species reside in the disk by velocity-resolving their lines
SOFIA will determine the chemistry of disks as a function of radius

• Material at small radii produce double-peaked, wider lines.• With Kepler’s Law one can deduce the radius• Spatially resolving the disk is not necessary

SOFIA will study how the chemistry of disks evolves with time
•• SOFIA can be used to study lines of [OI] at 63µm, OH at 119µm, [CII] at 158µm and determine where they form
• By studying a variety of disks at different ages, one can study chemical evolution
• The H2O at 6µm (gas) can probe the inner disk where there are migrating icy bodies and 45µm can probe beyond the “snow line” where icy bodies form

SOFIA will help disentangle the sources of luminosity in massive star cores
~4’
IRDC G11.11-0.12 from Spitzer
• The fundamental property of a star is its luminosity!• For many massive star cores being studied it is unclear if the luminosities observed at short and long wavelengths are coming from the same source or multiple sources
![Page 11: The Formation of Stars and PlanetsThe Formation of Stars and Planets James De Buizer (SOFIA/USRA) Neal Evans (U. Texas), John Bally (U. Colorado), Ewine van Dishoek (Leiden Obs), Murad](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011815/5e5afdc8261d6d000f50cf83/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
20 to 100 µm provides a key link between shorter and longer wavelengths of the SED
• Sources with short & long wavelength emission require more data with good spatial resolution and spectral sampling from 20-100µm to determine the sources of luminosity
![Page 12: The Formation of Stars and PlanetsThe Formation of Stars and Planets James De Buizer (SOFIA/USRA) Neal Evans (U. Texas), John Bally (U. Colorado), Ewine van Dishoek (Leiden Obs), Murad](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011815/5e5afdc8261d6d000f50cf83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Many sources have no (or poor) data at λ<350µm;understanding their true nature is extremely difficult
• Observations are easy with SOFIA (sources are bright in FIR)
• Narrow filters will allow detailed sampling of SED

SOFIA may resolve the puzzle of the missing oxygen in cold clouds
• Understanding the oxygen cycle is a key astrobiological concern
•SOFIA is the only mission that can provide spectrally resolved data on the [OI] lines at 63 and 145 µm
• Gaseous atomic O is the likely reservoir for the missing oxygen that can be probed by the above lines, but velocity resolution is needed to localize the emission
• The other main reservoirs that can be probed are OH (ground state line at 119µm) and H2O
