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.

Revisiting CN<sup>-</sup> Formation Mechanisms in Electron Collisions with Benzonitrile. [PDF]
ChemphyschemThis 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

CLOUD STRUCTURE OF INTERSTELLAR MATTER. OBSERVATIONAL PARAMETERS
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 Parameters of 7600 HI clouds were determined on the base of HI RATAN-600 Survey in the second and third quadrants of galactic longitudes. The spectra of cloud linear diameters, HI densities and masses are obtained first for such huge population of clouds.

Interstellar processes: Ortho/para conversion, radiative association, and dissociative recombination
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 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 ...

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
