Optical interstellar lines in dark clouds [PDF]
Observations of the equivalent widths and radial velocities of the interstellar lines of Ca ii, Na i, CH, and CH^+ are presented for 30 stars. A special effort was made to observe stars behind or within dense clouds with up to 3 mag of absorption.

The 15 273 Å diffuse interstellar band in the dark cloud Barnard 68 [PDF]
International audienceHigh obscuration of background stars behind dark clouds precludes the detection of optical diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and hence our knowledge of DIB carriers in these environments.

The two chemical phases of dark interstellar clouds [PDF]
We show that there exist two phases in the chemical equilibrium state of dark interstellar clouds, according to the local value of the density, n H , and cosmic ray ionization rate, ζ. For a given value of ζ, the ion-neutral chemistry at high density is driven by proton transfer with H 3 + while at low density charge transfer with H + dominates. The

First Principles Rovibronic Absorption Spectra of HF Molecule. [PDF]
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is astrophysically important, as it has been detected in sunspots, Venus, red giants, and the interstellar medium, serving as a probe of exoplanet atmospheres. This article presents an ab initio investigation of HF rovibronic spectroscopy, combining high‐level electronic‐structure data with nuclear‐motion solutions and refinement

Dark ice chemistry in interstellar clouds
This thesis is largely an experimental study on the formation of solid-state simple and complex organic molecules in the H2O-rich and CO-rich ice phases of dense interstellar clouds and dark cores. Astronomical ice observations are also presented and are

Dark clouds in the vicinity of the emission nebula Sh2-205: interstellar extinction and distances [PDF]
Results of CCD photometry in the seven-colour Vilnius system for 922 stars down to V = 16–17 mag and for 302 stars down to 19.5 mag are used to investigate the interstellar extinction in an area of 1.5 square degrees in the direction of the P7 and P8 ...
