Molecular Life-Time against Photodissociation in Dark Interstellar Clouds [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987 Molecules in the interstellar space are exposed to interstellar radiation, so that they are destroyed by photodissociation processes, leading to the production of smaller molecules and ions, which in turn can react with other molecular species. Therefore, dissociation rates and dissociation products are important for the chemistry of interstellar ...

Chemical processes in dark interstellar clouds – the effects of CNO depletion [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1991 The effects of depletion on the elements C, N and O on the chemical composition of dark clouds are investigated, using both isothermal and isochoric cloud models. This work differs from previous approaches in that a much larger range of CNO depletions is considered.

Presumed Detection of C5 Molecule in the Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 The paper suggests the presence of the carbon chain C _5 molecule in translucent, interstellar H i clouds. This species, the only five atom interstellar molecule, observable in dark, translucent clouds, seems to be observable in reasonably dense clouds ...

MAGNETICALLY DOMINATED PARALLEL INTERSTELLAR FILAMENTS IN THE INFRARED DARK CLOUD G14.225-0.506* [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT The infrared dark cloud G14.225-0.506 (IRDC G14.2) displays a remarkable complex of parallel dense molecular filaments projected on the plane of the sky. Previous studies of dust emission and molecular lines have speculated whether magnetic fields could have played an important role in the formation of such elongated structures,

The Uptake of Interstellar Gaseous CO into Icy Grain Mantles in a Quiescent Dark Cloud [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 Data from the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory CO Mapping Survey of the Taurus molecular cloud are combined with extinction data for a sample of 292 background field stars to investigate the uptake of CO from the gas to icy grain mantles on dust within the cloud.

Chemical Kinetics Simulations of Ice Chemistry on Porous Versus Non-Porous Dust Grains
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The degree of porosity in interstellar dust-grain material is poorly defined, although recent work has suggested that the grains could be highly porous.
