CO TO H2 RATIO OF INTERSTELLAR MOLECULAR CLOUDS IN THE DIRECTIONS OF EARLY TYPE STARS [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 We present measurements of interstellar CO absorption lines in the spectra of 7 early-type stars that were observed with the FUSE(Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer).

Chemistry, 2021 Few anions exhibit electronically excited states, and, if they do, the one or two possible excitations typically transpire beyond the visible spectrum into the near-infrared.

Interstellar Matter Structure along the Line of Sight to Cyg X-1
Open Astronomy, 2015 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.

Abundances in the Neutral Interstellar Medium of I Zw 18 from FUSE Observations [PDF]
, 2003 We report on new FUSE far-UV spectroscopy of the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf galaxy I Zw 18. The new data represent an improvement over previous FUSE spectra by a factor of 1.7 in the signal-to-noise.

Discovery of Water Vapor in the High-redshift Quasar APM 08279+5255 at z = 3.91 [PDF]
, 2011 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.

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).

Creating a new paradigm for the local interstellar medium–A perspective
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 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 ...

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
