Pathway to the identification of C 60 + in diffuse interstellar clouds [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2016 The origin of the attenuation of starlight in diffuse clouds in interstellar space at specific wavelengths ranging from the visible to the near-infrared has been unknown since the first astronomical observations around a century ago.

Laboratory infrared spectra and fragmentation chemistry of sulfur allotropes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSulfur is one of six life-essential elements, but its path from interstellar clouds to planets and their atmospheres is not well known. Astronomical observations in dense clouds have so far been able to trace only 1 percent of cosmic sulfur, in the form ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Observations of OH ^+ are used to infer the interstellar cosmic ray ionization rate in diffuse atomic clouds, thereby constraining the propagation of cosmic rays through and the shielding by interstellar clouds, as well as the low energy cosmic ray ...

Molecular Hydrogen and its Proxies HCO+ and CO in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 There is a robust polyatomic chemistry in diffuse, partially molecular interstellar gas that is readily accessible in absorption at radio/millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths.

The contribution of unresolved sources on the gamma-ray spectrum of molecular clouds [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 Fermi-LAT observations of the large-scale diffuse gamma-ray emission unveiled that in some locations, towards the inner Galaxy, the spectrum of this component is harder than the local one, measured at the Earth position. If this signal is associated with

A Search for OH 18 cm Emission from Intermediate-velocity Gas at High Galactic Latitudes
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present search results of 22 high-latitude (∣ b ∣ > 25°) sightlines for OH 18 cm emission using the 305 m radio telescope at the Arecibo Observatory. These sightlines appear in neutral hydrogen emission at intermediate velocities −90 ≤ V _LSR ≤ −20 km

The Distribution of Metallicities in the Local Galactic Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In this investigation, we present an analysis of the metallicity distribution that pertains to neutral gas in the local Galactic interstellar medium (ISM).

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Stellar systems are often formed through the collapse of dense molecular clouds which, in turn, return copious amounts of atomic and molecular material to the interstellar medium.

A Reexamination of Phosphorus and Chlorine Depletions in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a comprehensive examination of interstellar P and Cl abundances based on an analysis of archival spectra acquired with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer ...

Interstellar Bow Shocks around Fast Stars Passing through the Local Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Bow shocks are produced in the local interstellar medium by the passage of fast stars from the Galactic thin-disk and thick-disk populations with velocities V _* = 40–80 km s ^−1 .
