High‐Pressure Carbonaceous Phases as Minerals
This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free from Wiley Online Library.
Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

Turbulence in Interstellar Clouds [PDF]
Above masses of the order of lOO M⊙, molecular clouds have masses and sizes which scale like those of self-gravitating polytropes bounded by an external pervading pressure. It is unlikely that this scaling is due to mere observational bias. But the physics underlying this behaviour is far from being understood.

FORMATION OF SMALL-SCALE STRUCTURES IN THEINTERSTELLAR MEDIUM
We consider formation of small scale structures in the process of interstellar cloud destruction by shock waves. We calculate statistical properties of HI column densities, optical depth and brightness temperature in 21 cm line.

Interstellar Scintillation and Clouds of the Interstellar Turbulent Plasma [PDF]
AbstractData on interstellar diffraction and refraction scintillation of pulsars are analyzed. Comparison between theory and the observational data shows that two types of spectra for electron density fluctuations are realized in the interstellar medium: pure power law and piecewise with a break. The distribution of turbulent plasma in the Galaxy has a

Learning from model grids: Tracers of the ionization fraction in the ISM [PDF]
The ionization fraction in neutral interstellar clouds is a key physical parameter controlling multiple physical and chemical processes, and varying by orders of magnitude from the UV irradiated surface of the cloud to its cosmic-ray dominated central ...

Observations of the Local Interstellar Cloud [PDF]
AbstractConstraints on the ambient (circumsolar) interstellar medium can be derived from observations of interstellar neutrals or their derivatives in the heliosphere. New results have been recently obtained which, when combined with optical and UV observations of the nearby stars (HST-GHRS, EUVE), remove long-standing contradictions and allow us to ...

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.

Observations of OH ^+ are used to infer the interstellar cosmic ray ionization rate in diffuse atomic clouds, thereby constraining the propagation of cosmic rays through and the shielding by interstellar clouds, as well as the low energy cosmic ray ...

Valence Threshold Photoionization Spectra of C $_5$ H and C $_5$ H $_2$ Isomers. [PDF]
Mass‐selected threshold photoelectron spectra (TPES) of l‐C5H, HC5H, and c–C3H‐CCH were recorded using double‐imaging photoelectron‐photoion coincidence spectroscopy. These transient species were generated in situ by hydrogen abstraction from cyclopropylacetylene and 1,3‐pentadiyne.

Interstellar processes: Ortho/para conversion, radiative association, and dissociative recombination
The study of the ortho-to-para ratio of assorted gas-phase interstellar molecules such as H2, H2O, NH3, and H2O+ has gained interest in recent years, based partially on new spectral observations of light hydrides by the Herschel Space Observatory ...
