Dust Absorption toward Supernova Remnant W44
The Astronomical JournalSupernova 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 ...

Heat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 764-774, January 2026.ABSTRACT This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes.

The Astrophysical JournalThe 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 ...

Entropy Export and Chemical Reactions in Plasmas
Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.In a non‐equilibrium plasma, energy is transferred to molecules by electron‐impact (1), collisions among excited molecules (2), and Joule heating (3). The entropy balance for this open system relates the energy available per molecule to changes in entropy, which determines plasma‐based gas conversion. ABSTRACT Is plasma truly a “fourth state of matter”?

When Magnetic Fields Sculpt the Sky: The Riegel–Crutcher Cloud in Optical Polarization
The Astrophysical JournalFilamentary structures are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium, yet the extent to which magnetic fields influence the morphology of cold atomic gas remains an open question.

Adsorption of Helium on Cationic or Anionic Tetracene and Pentacene
Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.How does the arrangement of helium atoms that are adsorbed on tetracene or pentacene ions change with increasing coverage? When does the adsorption layer change from 1D to 2D, and to 3D? Is the transition abrupt? Are the helium atoms localized? Is the arrangement the same for cations and anions? What changes as the acene grows in length?

H i Kinematics and the E(B − V)/N(H i) Ratio
The Astrophysical JournalThe 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.

A Definitive Determination of the Interstellar Carbon Abundance toward ρ Ophiuchi A and B
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe present the results of an effort to derive interstellar gas-phase C ii abundances along the lines of sight toward ρ Oph A and B. Our analysis is based on high-resolution near-ultraviolet and far-ultraviolet archival spectra acquired with the Space ...

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