Interstellar processes: Ortho/para conversion, radiative association, and dissociative recombination
The study of the ortho-to-para ratio of assorted gas-phase interstellar molecules such as H2, H2O, NH3, and H2O+ has gained interest in recent years, based partially on new spectral observations of light hydrides by the Herschel Space Observatory ...

Where Does the Energy Go during the Interstellar NH3 Formation on Water Ice? A Computational Study
In the coldest (10–20 K) regions of the interstellar medium, the icy surfaces of interstellar grains serve as solid-state supports for chemical reactions.

The Role of Magnetic Field in Molecular Cloud Formation and Evolution
We review the role that magnetic field may have on the formation and evolution of molecular clouds. After a brief presentation and main assumptions leading to ideal MHD equations, their most important correction, namely the ion-neutral drift is described.

The molecular composition of dense interstellar clouds
Presented in this paper is an ab initio chemical model for dense interstellar clouds that incorporates 598 grain surface reactions, with small grains providing the reaction area. Gas-phase molecules are depleted through collisions with grains. The abundances of 372 chemical species are calculated as a function of time and are found to be of sufficient ...

Kinematics of H I Envelopes Associated with Molecular Clouds
We investigate the evolution of molecular clouds through the kinematics of their atomic hydrogen (H I ) envelopes, using ^12 CO and 21 cm emission to trace the molecular and atomic gas, respectively.

A High-mass, Young Star-forming Core Escaping from Its Parental Filament
We studied the unique kinematic properties in massive filament G352.63-1.07 at 10 ^3 au spatial scale with the dense molecular tracers observed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.

Thin solid films of pure glycine or alanine (thicknesses ranging from 10 to 700 nm) were prepared on MgF2 windows using a vacuum sublimation/recondensation method. VUV‐UV spectroscopy of these films enabled us to characterize new absorption cross sections for glycine and alanine for VUV‐UV radiations between 120 and 300 nm.
