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 ...

Mixing Interstellar Clouds Surrounding the Sun [PDF]
ApJL, 937 (2022), L32, 2022 On its journey through the Galaxy, the Sun passes through diverse regions of the interstellar medium. High-resolution spectroscopic measurements of interstellar absorption lines in spectra of nearby stars show absorption components from more than a dozen warm partially ionized clouds within 15 pc of the Sun.

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.

Discovery of the Elusive Carbonic Acid (HOCOOH) in Space
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 A quarter century after the detection of the last interstellar carboxylic acid, acetic acid (CH _3 COOH), we report the discovery of a new one, the cis-trans form of carbonic acid (HOCOOH), toward the Galactic center molecular cloud G+0.693–0.027. HOCOOH

Ionize Hard: Interstellar PO+ Detection
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 We report the first detection of the phosphorus monoxide ion (PO+) in the interstellar medium. Our unbiased and very sensitive spectral survey toward the G+0.693–0.027 molecular cloud covers four different rotational transitions of this molecule, two of ...
