Plasma Production by Laser Ablation of Heavy Metals

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 65, Issue 7, August 2025.
ABSTRACT An Nd:YAG focused laser operating at 1064 nm, 3 ns pulse width, 360 mJ pulse energy, is employed to irradiate heavy metals, such as Ta, W, Pt, Au, and Pb. The in‐vacuum irradiation produces an expanding plasma at the target surface which has high density, temperature, and kinetic energy of emitted ions. Ions have a velocity of the order of 104

Dust Absorption toward Supernova Remnant W44

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Supernova remnants (SNRs) can strongly affect the chemical composition of the interstellar dust. In this paper, we investigate to what degree the dust and ices are modified by observing four stars expected to be absorbed by a giant molecular cloud ...

Diffuse Interstellar Bands Toward HD 62542 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been detected for the first time along the peculiar translucent line of sight toward HD 62542, which passes through a diffuse cloud core.

Enigma of H 3 + in Diffuse Interstellar Clouds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
H 3 + is of fundamental importance to interstellar chemistry both because it is a hydrogenic species (and >9O% of all nuclei in the universe are hydrogen nuclei; see Fig. 1) and because it serves as the universal protonator, initiating a chain of ion-neutral reactions that is responsible for the formation of most interstellar molecules.

Ionization Sources of the Local Interstellar Clouds: Two B Stars, Three White Dwarfs, and the Local Hot Bubble

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The dominant sources of photoionizing radiation in the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) incident on the exterior of the local interstellar clouds include two nearby early B-type stars, ϵ CMa (124 ± 2 pc) and β CMa (151 ± 5 pc), three hot dwarfs, and the Local ...

Structure formation in a colliding flow: The Herschel view of the Draco nebula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Draco nebula is a high Galactic latitude interstellar cloud likely to have been formed by the collision of a Galactic halo cloud entering the disk of the Milky Way.

Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Deep Space Network (DSN) has been a core operational element of NASA's crewed and robotic exploration of the Solar System since the early 1960s. The primary role of the DSN has been to acquire telemetry and navigation data, but over the years, its radiometric and radar capabilities have expanded to form a system for obtaining unique ...

H i Kinematics and the E(B − V)/N(H i) Ratio

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The λ 21 cm H i emission that is used to trace the gas-to-dust ratio at high Galactic latitudes has contributions from material beyond the Milky Way disk, with uncertain and likely subsolar metallicity and dust content.

Matrix Isolation and Solvation of the Benzonitrile Radical Anion

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 35, June 23, 2025.
Hydrated electrons are potent reducing agents that may play significant roles in chemical evolution within astrochemical and prebiotic environments. Benzonitrile, a molecule present in the interstellar medium (ISM), can capture electrons in amorphous water ice at cryogenic temperatures, forming a radical anion.
