H ^ 13 CN-HN ^ 13 C intensity ratio as a temperature indicator of interstellar clouds

H ^ 13 CN-HN ^ 13 C intensity ratio as a temperature indicator of interstellar clouds by A. G. Pazukhin et al. on Sunday 27 November With the 30-m IRAM radio telescope, we observed several massive star forming regions at wavelengths of 3-4 and 2 mm. The temperature of the gas in the sources was estimated from the lines of CH$_{3}$CCH and from the transitions of the NH$_3$ molecule obtained during observations at the 100-m radio telescope in Effelsberg. As a result, a correlation between the integrated intensity ratios of the $J=1-0$ transitions of H$^{13}$CN and HN$^{13}$C and the kinetic temperature has been obtained. The obtained results allow us to propose the use of the intensity ratio H$^{13}$CN-HN$^{13}$C as a possible temperature indicator of interstellar clouds. We also compared the obtained estimates of the kinetic temperature with the dust temperature $T_{dust}$. As a result, no significant correlation was found. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.14063v1
