The Effect of an Inert Solid Reservoir on Molecular Abundances in Dense Interstellar Clouds

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2012
The question, what is the role of freeze-out of chemical species in determining the molecular abundances in the interstellar gas is a matter of debate.

Lyα Processing of Solid-state Ethanolamine: Potential Precursors to Sugar and Peptide Derivatives

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Ethanolamine (EA), a key component of phospholipids, has recently been detected in the interstellar medium within molecular clouds. To understand this observation, laboratory studies of its formation and destruction are essential and should be ...

Geomagnetism, volcanoes, global climate change, and predictability. A progress report

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1994
A model is investigated, by which the encounters of the solar system with dense interstellar clouds ought to trigger either geomagnetic field reversals or excursions, that produce extra electric currents within the Earth dynamo, that cause extra Joule's ...

Interstellar grain chemistry and organic molecules [PDF]

open access: yes
The detection of prominant infrared absorption bands at 3250, 2170, 2138, 1670 and 1470 cm(-1) (3.08, 4.61, 4.677, 5.99 and 6.80 micron m) associated with molecular clouds show that mixed molecular (icy) grain mantles are an important component of the ...

Molecular and Solid Hydrogen in Dense Interstellar Clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1969
Molecular and solid hydrogen in dense interstellar clouds suggested from underabundance of neutral atomic hydrogen, discussing grain ...

Binding Energies and Vibrational Spectral Features of S n Species on Amorphous Water-ice Mantles: A Quantum Mechanical Study

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In the denser and colder regions of the interstellar medium (ISM), gas-phase sulfur is depleted by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude with respect to its cosmic abundance. Thus, which species are the main carriers of sulfur is an open question.

Multi-Wavelength View of Supernova Remnants

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014
This contribution gives a very short overview on the emission of supernova remnants and the processes that are responsible for both the thermal and non-thermal origins of the emission, typically observed in radio, X-rays, and up to gamma-rays. We discuss

Empirical relationships between gas abundances and UV selective extinction [PDF]

open access: yes
Several studies of gas-phase abundances in lines of sight through the outer edges of dense clouds are summarized. These lines of sight have 0.4 less than E(B-V) less than 1.1 and have inferred spatial densities of a few hundred cm(-3). The primary thrust

Desorption of large molecules from grains in dense interstellar clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1991
Laboratory data on the nondestructive desorption of whole leucine (131 amu) molecules from surfaces induced by fast, heavy-ion bombardment are used to propose that heavy ions in the cosmic-ray flux may induce desorption of large molecules from the surfaces of grains in molecular, interstellar ...

3D Magneto-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Parker Instability with Cosmic Rays

open access: yes, 2011
This study investigates Parker instability in an interstellar medium (ISM) near the Galactic plane using three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. Parker instability arises from the presence of a magnetic field in a plasma, wherein the magnetic
