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 ...

Ne and Fe Abundances in the Interstellar Medium: Archival Study of Fe-L and Ne-K Edges in Chandra and XMM-Newton

The Astrophysical Journal
The abundance of elements in the interstellar medium is a key facet for many fields of astrophysical study. In the soft X-ray spectra, absorption by interstellar gas can result in deep absorption features that affect continuum measurements. In this paper,

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

H i Kinematics and the E(B − V)/N(H i) Ratio

The Astrophysical Journal
The λ 21 cm H i emission that is used to trace the gas-to-dust ratio at high Galactic latitudes has contributions from material beyond the Milky Way disk, with uncertain and likely subsolar metallicity and dust content.

Modeling galactic extinction

Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2011
We present a model for interstellar extinction dust, in which we assume a bimodal distribution of extinction carriers, a dispersion of core-mantle grains, supplemented by a collection of PAHs in free molecular form.

Correlations between Dust Extinction Features across All Wavelength Scales: From Diffuse Interstellar Bands to R(V)

The Astrophysical Journal
Understanding variations in the dust extinction curve is imperative for using dust as a tracer of local structure in the interstellar medium, understanding dust chemistry, and performing extinction corrections.

A Neutral Hydrogen Absorption Study of Cold Gas in the Outskirts of the Magellanic Clouds Using the GASKAP-H i Survey

The Astronomical Journal
Cold neutral hydrogen (H i ) is a crucial precursor for molecular gas formation and can be studied via H i absorption. This study investigates H i absorption in low column density regions of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) using the ...

Attenuation of LHAASO PeVatrons by the Interstellar Radiation Field and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

The Astrophysical Journal
“PeVatrons” refer to astrophysical sources capable of accelerating particles to energies around 10 ^15 electron volts and higher, potentially contributing to the cosmic-ray spectrum in the knee region.

Interstellar absorption toward HD 14633

The Astrophysical Journal, 1983
Observations are reported of optical interstellar absorption lines of Ti II, Ca II, and Na I in the spectrum of HD 14633, a probable runaway O star ejected from the Perseus spiral arm. Unusually high gas-phase abundances of the normally depleted elements Ca and Ti are found in three high-velocity interstellar line components; the light paths to only a ...

Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV MaStar: Quantification and Abatement of Interstellar Absorption in the Largest Empirical Stellar Spectral Library

The Astrophysical Journal
We assess the impact of Ca ii λ λ 3934, 3969 and Na i λ λ 5891, 5897 absorption arising in the interstellar medium (ISM) on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-IV MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar) and produce corrected spectroscopy for 80% of the 24,162-star ...
