Diffuse interstellar bands: A comprehensive laboratory study [PDF]
Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2006 As a result of the search for the identity of the chromophores responsible for producing the diffuse interstellar bands, a comprehensive exposition of experimental data is presented, which implicates the following molecules- 1. The extremely stable organic molecules, magnesium tetrabenzoporphyrin (MgTBP) and H2TBP. 2.

Detection of the buckminsterfullerene cation (C60+) in space
, 2013 In the early 90s, C60+ was proposed as the carrier of two diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) at 957.7 and 963.2 nm, but a firm identification still awaits gas-phase spectroscopic data.

Cyclic C4+ as the Carrier of the Diffuse Interstellar Band at 503.9 nm?
The Astrophysical JournalThe diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have remained a mystery in astronomy since their discovery over a century ago. The only currently known carrier is ${{\rm{C}}}_{60}^{+}$ , responsible for five DIBs, while more than 550 are yet to be interpreted. The

Spectroscopic Confirmation of a Population of Isolated, Intermediate-mass Young Stellar Objects
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Wide-field searches for young stellar objects (YSOs) can place useful constraints on the prevalence of clustered versus distributed star formation. The Spitzer/IRAC Candidate YSO (SPICY) catalog is one of the largest compilations of such objects (∼120 ...

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 ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

A Nest of Diffuse Interstellar Bands—Likely of Common Origin
The Astronomical JournalDiffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been proposed to cluster into distinct “families” each potentially linked to a single carrier molecule. In our study, we focus on identifying such a family within the spectral range of approximately 4945–4990 Å ...

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 241-271, February 2026.Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

Regarding the Detection of Interstellar C4 and C5 Molecules
The Astrophysical JournalAnalysis of very high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) spectra of reddened stars allowed us to determine an upper limit (UL) of the column density N (C _4 ).
