OH+ in Diffuse Molecular Clouds [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 Near ultraviolet observations of OH+ and OH in diffuse molecular clouds reveal a preference for different environments. The dominant absorption feature in OH+ arises from a main component seen in CH+ (that with the highest CH+/CH column density ratio ...

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

Shaken or Stirred: The Diffuse Interstellar Medium with Exceptionally High SiO Abundance
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interstellar shocks, a key element of stellar feedback processes, shape the structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) and are essential for the chemistry, thermodynamics, and kinematics of interstellar gas.

Absorption-line Observations of and CO in Sight Lines Toward the Vela and W28 Supernova Remnants
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Supernova remnants act as particle accelerators, providing the cosmic-ray protons that permeate the interstellar medium and initiate the ion–molecule reactions that drive interstellar chemistry. Enhanced fluxes of cosmic-ray protons in close proximity to

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

Abundance Ratios of OH/CO and HCO+/CO as Probes of the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate in Diffuse Clouds
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The cosmic-ray ionization rate (CRIR, ζ _2 ) is one of the key parameters controlling the formation and destruction of various molecules in molecular clouds. However, the current most commonly used CRIR tracers, such as ${{\rm{H}}}_{3}^{+}$ , OH ^+ , and
