Inhomogeneity within Local Interstellar Clouds*
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 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 ...

Filtration of interstellar hydrogen in the two‐shock heliospheric interface: Inferences on the local interstellar cloud electron density [PDF]
, 1998 The solar system is moving through the partially ionized local interstellar cloud (LIC). The ionized matter of the LIC interacts with the expanding solar wind forming the heliospheric interface.

Dust in the Local Interstellar Wind [PDF]
, 1999 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 ...

Learning from model grids: Tracers of the ionization fraction in the ISM [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 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 ...

FORMATION OF SMALL-SCALE STRUCTURES IN THEINTERSTELLAR MEDIUM
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2008 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.

Evidence for the naphthalene cation in a region of the interstellar medium with anomalous microwave emission [PDF]
, 2008 We report high resolution spectroscopy of the moderately reddened (A$_V$=3) early type star Cernis 52 located in a region of the Perseus molecular cloud complex with anomalous microwave emission.

Interstellar hydrocarbons: degradation chemistry in diffuse clouds [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT Observations of diffuse clouds showed that they contain a number of simple hydrocarbons [e.g. CH, C2H, (l- and c-)C3H2, and C4H] in abundances that may be difficult to understand on the basis of conventional gas-phase chemical models.

Turbulence in Interstellar Clouds [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989 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.

Radio Emission from a Young Supernova Remnant Interacting with an Interstellar Cloud: Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation with Relativistic Electrons [PDF]
, 1998 We present two-dimensional MHD simulations of the evolution of a young Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) during its interaction with an interstellar cloud of comparable size at impact. We include for the first time in such simulations explicit relativistic
