Is the Sun Embedded in a Typical Interstellar Cloud?

, 2008
The physical properties and kinematics of the partially ionized interstellar material near the Sun are typical of warm diffuse clouds in the solar vicinity.

The Smallest Sizes of Diffuse Interstellar Clouds [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1984
AbstractBy observing the difference in optical depths between absorption spectra toward the two components of double sources we have measured the variations in opacity over lengths of less than 0.1 up to 10 pc inside diffuse interstellar clouds. Significant variations are detected on scales larger than about 0.2 pc, but not less. This may represent the

Centrosymmetric molecules as possible carriers of diffuse interstellar bands

, 2010
In this paper, we present new data with interstellar C2 (Phillips bands A-X), from observations made with the Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph of the European Southern Observatory.

Dense molecular clouds in the SN2008fp host galaxy [PDF]

, 2014
(abridged) We use observations of interstellar absorption features, such as atomic and molecular lines as well as diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), towards SN2008fp to study the physical properties of extra-galactic diffuse interstellar clouds in the ...

Putting the Diffuse Interstellar Bands on the map - literally!

, 2013
In a quest to further our understanding of the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) as well as the unidentified carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), we are mapping DIBs across the sky using hundreds of hot stars as background torches ...

Molecules in diffuse interstellar clouds [PDF]

, 1988
The existence of diatomic molecules in the diffuse interstellar gas has been known since the late thirties and from that time numerous observations have been made, at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths, of interstellar molecular absorption lines in the spectra of bright stars.

Enhanced cosmic-ray flux toward zeta Persei inferred from laboratory study of H3+ - e- recombination rate

, 2003
The H3+ molecular ion plays a fundamental role in interstellar chemistry, as it initiates a network of chemical reactions that produce many interstellar molecules. In dense clouds, the H3+ abundance is understood using a simple chemical model, from which

On the Stability of Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen Clouds at Large Z-heights

The Astrophysical Journal
Galactic neutral hydrogen (H i ) data drawn from several large-scale surveys have been used to study 32 small clouds found between Galactic longitudes 70° and 140° and latitudes −20° and −45°.

The cycling of carbon into and out of dust

, 2014
Observational evidence seems to indicate that the depletion of interstellar carbon into dust shows rather wide variations and that carbon undergoes rather rapid recycling in the interstellar medium (ISM).

The chemistry of interstellar molecules containing the halogen elements [PDF]

, 2009
Although they are only minor constituents of the interstellar medium, halogen-containing molecules are of special interest because of their unique thermochemistry. Here, we present a theoretical study of the chemistry of interstellar molecules containing
