2 Background Motivations Motivations What diagnostics can [C ii] 157 µm hold? Important cooling line, carries 0.1 5% of L FIR SFR tracer (e.g., de Looze+ 2014) C ii* also used in DLAs (Wolfe+ 2003) Diagnostic for physical conditions in PDR models ([C ii], [O i] 63, 145 µm, L FIR ) CO-dark molecular gas tracer (Madden+ 1997; Wolfire+ 2010) Routinely detected at high-z Recent detections: e.g., Aravena+ 2016; Bañados+ 2015; Pentericci+ 2016; Bradac Fig.: z > 6 ALMA [C ii] candidates with no optical counterparts in the Hubble-UDF; (Aravena+ 2016) Some surprising non-detections (e.g., Maiolino+ 2015; Carilli+) AGN, low metallicity, significant absorption?

3 Background Motivations Motivations What diagnostics can [C ii] 157 µm hold? Important cooling line, carries 0.1 5% of L FIR SFR tracer (e.g., de Looze+ 2014) C ii* also used in DLAs (Wolfe+ 2003) Diagnostic for physical conditions in PDR models ([C ii], [O i] 63, 145 µm, L FIR ) CO-dark molecular gas tracer (Madden+ 1997; Wolfire+ 2010) What is the origin of [C ii]? CNM, WNM, PDR interfaces with molecular clouds, WIM Metal-poor ISM? Low dust abundance (increased PDR clumpiness, lower average A V ) Previous studies Milky Way (Velusamy+ 2010; Piñeda+ 2012, 2015), M 17-SW (Pérez-Beaupuits+ 2015), NGC 4214 (Fahrion+ 2016), LMC-N 159 (Okada+ 2015), SMC H ii regions (Requeña-Torres+ 2016) [C ii] traces significant CO-dark gas in star-forming regions (especially at low metallicity) There might be significant [C ii] not associated with the dense star-forming material Scales and metallicity effects: star-forming regions in Magellanic Clouds Vianney Lebouteiller (AIM/CEA) SOFIA the Local Truth / 24

21 Conclusion Summary Summary SOFIA/GREAT observations of [C ii] and [N ii] 205 µm in LMC-N 11 No evidence of [C ii] in the ionized gas (only one exception, maybe) Most of the [C ii] is associated with components with large f (H 2 ) The brightest [C ii] component toward all pointing is always associated with CO, with similar velocity and width Theoretical calculations suggest that most [C ii] bright components associated with CO require either CO-dark gas or significantly larger column densities Consistent with large X CO factor calculated in 30 Dor? (Chevance+ 2016) Some [C ii] components associated with CO are ok with theoretical calculation Quiescent CO clouds Several extra components seen in [C ii], some seem to be associated with H i. Usually relatively broad. Most extra components agree with theoretical expectations (CNM faint components?) Vianney Lebouteiller (AIM/CEA) SOFIA the Local Truth / 24
