PHANGS–JWST First Results: Mid-infrared Emission Traces Both Gas Column Density and Heating at 100 pc Scales

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We compare mid-infrared (mid-IR), extinction-corrected H α , and CO (2–1) emission at 70–160 pc resolution in the first four PHANGS–JWST targets. We report correlation strengths, intensity ratios, and power-law fits relating emission in JWST’s F770W ...

INVESTIGATION OF DIFFUSE INTERSTELLAR BANDS OF ORGANIC MOLECULES IN THE SPECTRA OF CEPHEID STARS

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
We describe an effective method of investigation of the Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs) in the spectra of Cepheid stars. DIBs are believed to originate from the absorption of such carriers as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the interstellar gaseous

Valence-, Dipole- and Quadropole-Bound Electronically Excited States of Closed-Shell Anions Formed by Deprotonation of Cyano- and Ethynyl-Disubstituted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Chemistry, 2022
Dicyano-functionalized benzene and naphthalene anion derivatives exhibit a relatively rich population of electronically excited states in stark contrast to many assumptions regarding the photophysics of anions in general.

The promise of recent and future observatories and instruments [PDF]

, 2013
The identification of the carrier(s) of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) is one of the oldest mysteries in stellar spectroscopy. With the advent of 8-10m-class telescopes substantial progress has been made in measuring the properties of DIBs in the ...

A JWST Survey for Planetary Mass Brown Dwarfs in IC 348

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We have obtained images of the center of the star-forming cluster IC 348 with the James Webb Space Telescope and have identified brown dwarf candidates based on their photometry and point-like flux profiles. Low-resolution spectroscopy has been performed

Unusually Weak Diffuse Interstellar Bands toward HD 62542 [PDF]

, 2001
As part of an extensive survey of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), we have obtained optical spectra of the moderately reddened B5V star HD 62542, which is known to have an unusual UV extinction curve of the type usually identified with dark clouds. The

Diffuse Interstellar Band Profiles [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013
AbstractA short review of the profiles of diffuse interstellar bands and their possible interpretation is given, largely from the perspective of absorption by gas-phase molecules. Potentially a crucial source of information on the nature of the diffuse band carriers, profile studies provide a promising avenue of research towards finding the solution to

Luminosity class of the symbiotic stars 4U1954+319 and ZZ CMi [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal
We performed optical photometry and spectral observations of the symbiotic stars 4U1954+319 and ZZ CMi. For 4U1954+319, using high-resolution spectra, we, measure the equivalent widths of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and estimate the interstellar ...

Diffuse interstellar band formation in dense clouds [PDF]

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1974
Measurements of the strengths of the diffuse interstellar bands at 4430, 5780 and 5797 A show that the bands tend to be weak with respect to extinction in dense interstellar clouds. Data on 10 stars in the Q Ophiuchi cloud complex show further that the diffuse band-producing efficiency of the grains decreases systematically with increasing grain size ...
