Chemistry in Dense Interstellar Clouds - Data Requirements [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1989
ABSTRACTChemical models of dense interstellar clouds are reviewed with particular emphasis on recent results. The need for theoretical and experimental data on rate coefficients is pointed out and some observational studies are suggested.

The Turbulent Interstellar Medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An overview is presented of the main properties of the interstellar medium. Evidence is summarized that the interstellar medium is highly turbulent, driven on different length scales by various energetic processes.

Chemistry of chlorine in dense interstellar clouds [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1986
Laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling show that the chemistry of chlorine is fairly simple in dense interstellar clouds, with Cl and HCl as the only species whose fractional abundances are significant. The estimated fraction of gas-phase chlorine present as HCl lies between 25-65 percent, in good agreement with the recent observations of the ...

Interstellar processes: Ortho/para conversion, radiative association, and dissociative recombination

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
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 ...

The Role of Magnetic Field in Molecular Cloud Formation and Evolution

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
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.

Where Does the Energy Go during the Interstellar NH3 Formation on Water Ice? A Computational Study

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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.

Deuterium fractionation in dense interstellar clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1989
The time-dependent gas-phase chemistry of deuterium fractionation in dense interstellar clouds ranging in temperature between 10 and 70 K was investigated using a pseudo-time-dependent model similar to that of Brown and Rice (1986). The present approach, however, considers much more complex species, uses more deuterium fractionation reactions, and ...

The chemistry of fluorine-bearing molecules in diffuse and dense interstellar gas clouds

open access: yes, 2005
We present a theoretical investigation of the chemistry of fluorine-bearing molecules in diffuse and dense interstellar gas clouds. The chemistry of interstellar fluorine is qualitatively different from that of any other element, because - unlike the ...
