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).

The formation of molecular hydrogen in the interstellar medium [PDF]
H2 is the most abundant molecule in the interstellar medium and forms on the surface of interstellar dust grains. Laboratory studies have been conducted of HD formation on a dust grain analogue, which is a highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite surface ...

Interstellar absorption and color excess in SCO OB1 [PDF]
New spectral types and photometry are reported for numerous stars in Sco OB-1 and in the foreground of the association. The new data permit reddening in the local spiral arm to be subtracted out in a discussion of reddening in the gas and dust of an adjacent spiral arm.

ABSTRACT We present chemical kinetic rate constants for the cis to trans isomerisation or rotamerization of monomeric seleno‐, thio‐, and formic acids and that of three of their dimeric species, based on variational transition state theory and multidimensional tunneling calculations in the gas‐phase, from 10 K to 300 K. These provide, firstly, reliable

Optical Radiation Pressure: Resonant Mechanical Excitation of Thin Films
The modulation of a laser beam generates a modulated radiation pressure force acting on a thin film. A resonant response is observed, leading to a net average thinning of the film. ABSTRACT Optical radiation pressure was directly observed for the first time more than a century ago.

The chemistry within the interstellar medium (ISM) is notably influenced by the interplay between kinetics and photochemical processes, which play significant roles in both the formation and destruction of molecular species.

Influence of Dynamical Friction on the Unstable Manifolds of Lagrange Points in Barred Galaxies
ABSTRACT Some time ago the idea has been proposed that rings and spirals in barred galaxies are shaped by the unstable manifolds of the Lagrange points sitting near the ends of the bar. The topic of the present article is an investigation of whether the numerical support for this suggestion can be improved by the inclusion of dynamical friction into ...

A Nest of Diffuse Interstellar Bands—Likely of Common Origin
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been proposed to cluster into distinct “families” each potentially linked to a single carrier molecule. In our study, we focus on identifying such a family within the spectral range of approximately 4945–4990 Å ...

ABSTRACT In the interstellar medium, chemical reactions proceed under conditions vastly different to those on Earth; these include extremely low temperatures and densities and take place in the gas phase and on water–ice grains. Understanding the energetics and more importantly the kinetics of such reactions is of relevance to the consequences on how ...
