Interstellar absorption lines toward gamma Arae

The Astrophysical Journal, 1975
The available data on interstellar absorption lines in the spectrum of gamma Ara observed from the ground and with the Copernicus telescope have been analyzed to give column densities of various ion stages of H, C, N, O, Na, Mg, Si, P, S, Ar, Ca, Mn, and Fe.

Writing Against Fate: Climate Strategies and Subversions in Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Future

Future Humanities, Volume 3, Issue 2, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate fiction's dominant futurist imaginaries trend towards resolved futures, particularly in apocalyptic and techno‐utopian representations of our climate futures. These closure‐driven narratives treat the future as a fated, distant event, limiting climate fiction's interrogation of human agency, responsibility, and potential action in the ...

Correlation Patterns of Muon Flux With Vertical Atmospheric Profiles: Insights From Monte Carlo Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The production, attenuation, and absorption of secondary cosmic rays (SCR) are influenced by atmospheric parameters such as air pressure and temperature. To reliably correlate SCR flux measurements with atmospheric ionization driven by energetic particle precipitation, these dependencies must be quantified.

The Local Group L-band Survey: Probing Cold Atomic Gas in IC 10 with Neutral Hydrogen Absorption

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the first localized detections of the cold neutral medium (CNM) in IC 10, offering a rare view of dense atomic gas in a low-metallicity ( Z / Z _⊙  ∼ 0.27) dwarf galaxy.

The density distribution and 58.4 nm radiation intensity of interstellar helium in the heliosphere: a model simulation

Earth and Planetary Physics
Research on the interstellar medium and its interaction with the solar system constitutes a significant topic in planetary physics. As the Sun traverses the local interstellar cloud, interstellar neutrals penetrate the heliosphere, forming the ...

Clusters Stagnating During Condensation: Metastable Material or a Separate State of Matter?

Annalen der Physik, Volume 537, Issue 10, October 2025.
Condensation stagnation, that is, the existence of a delay between nucleation and growth during the gas‐phase particle formation, is a crucial phenomenon, which manifests itself as the presence of supercritical clusters in resulting particulates. The light emission signature of stagnant clusters is identified in the magnesium particle flame in air, and,

Photometric Mapping of Carbonaceous/Siliceous Dust and Water Ice in the ISM with JWST: Applications to the Dense Sightlines

The Astronomical Journal
We introduce a new photometric mapping method for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to measure the spatial distribution of carbonaceous dust, siliceous dust, and water ice by using absorption features arising from the grains in the dense interstellar

Sleep and Dreams as Reflected by Science Fiction Literature and Films—Anything to Learn From?

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Sleep and dreams are frequent themes in science fiction (Sci‐Fi) literature and films, often used to explore questions about consciousness, reality, technology and the human experience. Sci‐Fi authors and filmmakers utilise the enigmatic nature of sleep and dreams to blur the boundaries between reality and imagination, raising philosophical ...

Strong and selective isotope effect in the vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation branching ratios of carbon monoxide

Nature Communications, 2019
Carbon monoxide is the main C and O reservoir in interstellar media, where it undergoes photochemistry. The authors show that isotopic substitution affects not only its absorption. spectrum and photodissociation rates but also the branching ratio, key to

UV–Vis Spectra of Carbonic Acid: Rationalizing Experimental Redshifts between Monomer and Bulk based on (H2CO3)n Calculations

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 18, September 19, 2025.
In bulk carbonic acid (e.g., in interstellar icy dust grains) cluster formation produces two distinct UV‐Vis spectral features redshifted by ≈2 eV (25 nm) and by ≈5 eV (80 nm) compared to gas phase single molecule carbonic acid 's adiabatic ionization energy. Theory and experiment were used to investigate the origin of these shifts.
