Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of Protonated Benzonitrile, 2-Cyanonaphthalene, and 9-Cyanoanthracene for Astrochemical Consideration. [PDF]
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,

Revisiting CN<sup>-</sup> Formation Mechanisms in Electron Collisions with Benzonitrile. [PDF]
This study explores negative ion formation via electron attachment, revealing CN− formation at 3.0 and 7–10 eV. Dissociation pathways are analyzed using G4(MP2) and CASPT2 calculations, highlighting the coupling between the π4* and σ* resonances critical for interstellar chemistry. Radiation‐induced processes in the aromatic cyano compound benzonitrile

Atomistic Modeling of Methyl Formate and Glycolaldehyde Formation on Interstellar Dirty Ice Mantles via a "Radical + Ice" Mechanism. [PDF]
The presence of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) has been baffling astrochemists for a long time. Methyl formate and glycolaldehyde are widely detected but their abundances mismatch kinetic astrochemical model predictions. Here, the formation of these two COMs is characterized onto a mixed ice surface, highlighting the importance of ...

Diffuse Interstellar Clouds [PDF]
AbstractDiffuse clouds are interstellar objects through which starlight is not greatly extinguished. As a result, many studies rely on ultraviolet and visible measurements. The focus of this review is on spectroscopic work involving atomic and molecular lines. From these measurements, the physical and chemical makeup of the clouds is derived.

Dust in the Local Interstellar Wind [PDF]
The gas-to-dust mass ratios found for interstellar dust within the Solar System, versus values determined astronomically for the cloud around the Solar System, suggest that large and small interstellar grains have separate histories, and that large ...

Inhomogeneity within Local Interstellar Clouds*
Abstract Analysis of interstellar absorption lines observed in high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope spectra of nearby stars provides temperatures, turbulent velocities, and kinetic properties of warm interstellar clouds. A new analysis of 97 interstellar-velocity components reveals a wide range of temperatures and turbulent velocities ...
