The Structure of the Local Interstellar Medium. VII. Additional New Mg ii, Fe ii, and Mn ii Observations toward Stars within 100 pc

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present new high-resolution ( R  ∼ 114,000), near-ultraviolet spectra in the direction of 36 nearby (

On the relationship between Red Rectangle and diffuse interstellar bands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A careful examination of Red Rectangle bands which have been considered as diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in emission shows that a few are likely to be artifacts in the spectrum. Some others result from atmospheric extinction. Consequences for the Red

Entropy Export and Chemical Reactions in Plasmas

open access: yesPlasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
In a non‐equilibrium plasma, energy is transferred to molecules by electron‐impact (1), collisions among excited molecules (2), and Joule heating (3). The entropy balance for this open system relates the energy available per molecule to changes in entropy, which determines plasma‐based gas conversion. ABSTRACT Is plasma truly a “fourth state of matter”?

Probing X-ray Absorption and Optical Extinction in the Interstellar Medium Using Chandra Observations of Supernova Remnants

open access: yes, 2016
We present a comprehensive study of interstellar X-ray extinction using the extensive Chandra supernova remnant archive and use our results to refine the empirical relation between the hydrogen column density and optical extinction.

The interstellar medium and feedback in the progenitors of the compact passive galaxies at z~2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Quenched galaxies at z>2 are nearly all very compact relative to z~0, suggesting a physical connection between high stellar density and efficient, rapid cessation of star-formation.

Adsorption of Helium on Cationic or Anionic Tetracene and Pentacene

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
How does the arrangement of helium atoms that are adsorbed on tetracene or pentacene ions change with increasing coverage? When does the adsorption layer change from 1D to 2D, and to 3D? Is the transition abrupt? Are the helium atoms localized? Is the arrangement the same for cations and anions? What changes as the acene grows in length?

Photoelectron Spectroscopy of the Phosphorus Monosulfide (PS) and Phosphorus Monoxide (PO) Radicals

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Sketch of the experiment to measure the photo electron spectrum of the PS radical produced in situ with a mixture of PH3, H2S and F atoms. PO and PS radicals are the smallest units of phosphorus oxides and phosphorus sulfides, respectively, two rich families of refractory compounds widely employed in industrial and technological applications. These two

Electronic Spectroscopy of C60+ and Its Analogs C60H2O+, C60H+, C60D+, and C60Mg+

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The fullerenes C _60 and C _70 have been detected in various interstellar environments, and the cation ${{{\rm{C}}}_{60}}^{+}$ has been identified as a carrier of at least four of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). Based on the presence of fullerenes

X-Ray Absorption and Scattering by Interstellar Grains

open access: yes, 2016
Interstellar abundance determinations from fits to X-ray absorption edges often rely on the incorrect assumption that scattering is insignificant and can be ignored.

Black hole mass measurements using ionized gas discs: systematic dust effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Using detailed Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations in realistic models for galactic nuclei, we investigate the influence of interstellar dust in ionized gas discs on the rotation curves and the resulting black hole mass measurements.
