Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of Protonated Benzonitrile, 2-Cyanonaphthalene, and 9-Cyanoanthracene for Astrochemical Consideration. [PDF]
Experimental infrared absorption spectra of three protonated cyano‐substituted PAHs measured by infrared multiple photon dissociation using the free‐electron laser Free‐Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments are studied. These spectra are compared to an emission spectrum measured by JWST, and the largest measured protonated cyano‐PAH, cyanoanthracene,

Interstellar Matter Structure along the Line of Sight to Cyg X-1
High-resolution spectra (R = 60 000) of Cyg X-1 = V1357 Cyg obtained with the NES echelle spectrograph of the Russian 6 meter telescope (3950–6690 Å) were used to study narrow interstellar absorption lines.

Creating a new paradigm for the local interstellar medium–A perspective
The interstellar medium close to the Sun called the local ISM (LISM) provides critical insights into physical processes and phenomena in the more distant interstellar medium in our Galaxy without the confusion of many complex structures in the sight ...

Discovery of Water Vapor in the High-redshift Quasar APM 08279+5255 at z = 3.91 [PDF]
We report a detection of the excited 2_(20)-2_(11) rotational transition of para-H_2O in APM 08279+5255 using the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer. At z = 3.91, this is the highest-redshift detection of interstellar water to date.

Abundance Ratios of OH/CO and HCO+/CO as Probes of the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate in Diffuse Clouds
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

Observations of Multiphase, High-velocity, Shocked Gas in the Vela Supernova Remnant
We present an analysis of high-resolution far-UV archival spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope of the star HD 75309, which probes high-velocity shocked gas in the Vela supernova remnant (SNR).
