Cosmic ray processing of N2-containing interstellar ice analogues at dark cloud conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
N2 is believed to lock considerable part of nitrogen elemental budget and, therefore, to be one of the most abundant ice constituent in cold dark clouds.

Cluster Models for Next‐Generation, Machine‐Learning‐Based Energy Functions for Molecular Simulations

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
This work describes how to conceive validated mixed machine learned/empirical energy functions based on finite‐sized molecular clusters for condensed phase simulations. Energy functions for pure and heterogeneous systems are one of the backbones for molecular simulation of condensed phase systems.

UV–Vis Spectra of Carbonic Acid: Rationalizing Experimental Redshifts between Monomer and Bulk based on (H2CO3)n Calculations

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 18, September 19, 2025.
In bulk carbonic acid (e.g., in interstellar icy dust grains) cluster formation produces two distinct UV‐Vis spectral features redshifted by ≈2 eV (25 nm) and by ≈5 eV (80 nm) compared to gas phase single molecule carbonic acid 's adiabatic ionization energy. Theory and experiment were used to investigate the origin of these shifts.

Spatial Variations of Dust Opacity and Grain Growth in Dark Clouds: L1689, L1709, and L1712

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The far-infrared (FIR) opacity of dust in dark clouds within the Ophiuchus molecular cloud is investigated through multiwavelength infrared observations from UKIDSS, Spitzer, and Herschel.

Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Deep Space Network (DSN) has been a core operational element of NASA's crewed and robotic exploration of the Solar System since the early 1960s. The primary role of the DSN has been to acquire telemetry and navigation data, but over the years, its radiometric and radar capabilities have expanded to form a system for obtaining unique ...

The gas density gradient for three dark interstellar clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1984
A grid of models has been constructed of the surface brightness of selected transitions of interstellar formal-dehyde for three interstellar clouds. The grid included radial gas density gradients over a considerable range from uniform to very steep. The model results were then compared to observations of the interstellar dark clouds B361, L183, and ...

JWST Observations of Cosmic-Ray-excited H2 in Barnard 68: Spatial Variations and Constraints on Cosmic-Ray Attenuation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec observations of the starless dark cloud Barnard 68 (B68) that reveal the spatially resolved signature of cosmic-ray-excited molecular hydrogen (CRXH _2 ) emissions for the first time.

Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...
