Cosmic ray induced photons in dense interstellar clouds [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1992 High-energy particles traversing a medium dissipate their energy through a succession of collisions. Part of the energy deposited by cosmic rays inside dense clouds can be transformed into a chemically significant ultraviolet flux by the impact excitation of molecular hydrogen. Detailed calculations of the collisional coefficients are described and the

Turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2014 Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and ...

Consequences of the Solar System passage through dense interstellar clouds [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2003 Several consequences of the passage of the solar system through dense interstellar molecular clouds are discussed. These clouds, dense (more than 100 cm-3), cold (10–50 K) and extended (larger than 1 pc), are characterized by a gas-to-dust mass ...

Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of Protonated Benzonitrile, 2-Cyanonaphthalene, and 9-Cyanoanthracene for Astrochemical Consideration. [PDF]
ChemphyschemExperimental infrared absorption spectra of three protonated cyano‐substituted PAHs measured by infrared multiple photon dissociation using the free‐electron laser Free‐Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments are studied. These spectra are compared to an emission spectrum measured by JWST, and the largest measured protonated cyano‐PAH, cyanoanthracene,

Cyanoacetylene in dense interstellar clouds
The Astrophysical Journal, 1976 Statistical equilibrium calculations were performed and matched to the observations of several sources. These calculations indicate the following: homogeneous cloud models are inadequate for at least one source, Sgr B2, for which a two-component (core-halo) model is presented; the observed lines of HC/sub 3/N are usually, if not always, optically thin;
