On the Question of Interstellar Silicate Absorption
The Astrophysical Journal, 1970 The observations of the absorption feature in the infrared spectrum by Knacke, Gaustad, Gillett, and Stein are discussed; and doubts concerning their identifying silicate minerals in interstellar grains are raised.

Turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]
, 2014 Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and ...

Electronic spectroscopy of cold ions in a radio-frequency trap [PDF]
, 2010 The low density of ions in mass spectrometers generally precludes direct absorption measurements. The spectrum of ions can nonetheless be obtained by using resonance two-color photofragmentation or multiphoton photofragmentation techniques.

Electronic spectroscopy of open-chain and aromatic hydrocarbon cations in neon matrices [PDF]
, 2012 Considerable scientific interest has been devoted to the so-called diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs)—hundreds of absorption features of different strength and width, located in the visible and near infrared, and arising from the interstellar medium ...

Electronic spectroscopy of cold cations in a 22-pole trap by indirect methods [PDF]
, 2013 The confining capabilities of a 22-pole ion trap have been employed to mea- sure electronic spectra of cations of astrophysical relevance. The ion trap sits on the head of a closed cycle cryostat, enabling collisional cooling of the confined ions with

Diffuse Interstellar Bands – The Unidentified Part of the Interstellar Absorption Spectrum [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1989 The unidentified (since 1921) diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are discussed together with their relations to other interstellar absorptions sucn as: continuous extinction, polarization and atomic or molecular absorption lines. It is shown that DIBs do not form the absorption spectrum of one agent, but probably of several (3 or more).
