Detection of Deuterated Hydrocarbon Nanoparticles in the Whirlpool Galaxy, M51

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Deuteration of hydrocarbon material, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has been proposed to account for the low gas-phase abundances of D in the interstellar medium (ISM). JWST spectra of four star-forming regions in M51 show an emission

Chemistry in Dense Molecular Clouds: Theory and Observational Constraints [PDF]

, 1988
For the most part, gas phase models of the chemistry of dense molecular clouds predict the abundances of simple species rather well. However, for larger molecules and even for small systems rich in carbon these models often fail spectacularly.

Detections of interstellar aromatic nitriles 2-cyanopyrene and 4-cyanopyrene in TMC-1

Nature Astronomy
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most widespread compounds in the universe, accounting for up to ~25% of all interstellar carbon. Since most unsubstituted PAHs do not possess permanent electric dipole moments, they are invisible to ...

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

Small 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

The Definitive Abundance of Interstellar Oxygen

The Astrophysical Journal, 1998
Using the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) onboard HST, we have obtained high S/N echelle observations of the weak interstellar O I 1356 A absorption toward the stars Gamma Cas, Epsilon Per, Delta Ori, Epsilon Ori, 15 Mon, Tau CMa, and Gamma Ara. In combination with previous GHRS measurements in six other sightlines (Zeta Per, Xi Per, Lambda

On the chemistry of hydrides of N atoms and O$^+$ ions [PDF]

, 2016
Previous work by various authors has suggested that the detection by Herschel/HIFI of nitrogen hydrides along the low density lines of sight towards G10.6-0.4 (W31C) cannot be accounted for by gas-phase chemical models.

Mid‐infrared Spectroscopy of Protonated Benzonitrile, 2‐Cyanonaphthalene, and 9‐Cyanoanthracene for Astrochemical Consideration

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 24, December 16, 2025.
Experimental infrared absorption spectra of three protonated cyano‐substituted PAHs measured by infrared multiple photon dissociation using the free‐electron laser Free‐Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments are studied. These spectra are compared to an emission spectrum measured by JWST, and the largest measured protonated cyano‐PAH, cyanoanthracene,

The Barium Star HD204075: Iron Abundance and the Absence of Evidence for Accretion

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
Spectroscopic observations of barium star ζ Capricornus (HD204075) obtained at the 8.2 m telescope of the European Southern Observatory, with a spectral resolving power R = 80,000 and signal to noise ratio greater than 300, were used to refine the ...

Isotopic abundances in interstellar carbon monosulfide

The Astrophysical Journal, 1976
A survey of the relative abundances of the isotopic species, /sup 12/C/sup 32/S, /sup 12/C/sup 34/S, and /sup 13/C/sup 32/S has been made in 14 dense molecular clouds through observations of the J=3-1 rotational transitions at 3 mm. The abundance ratio, (/sup 13/C/sup 32/S)/(/sup 12/C/sup 34/S), is found to be 1.9 times greater in the galactic center ...

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...
