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 ...

PECULIARITIES OF MIXING METALS IN INTERGALACTIC AND INTERSTELLAR MEDIA
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2008 We review the current status of the problem of metal mixing in the intergalactic and interstellar media. We give simple arguments for inefficiency of mixing metals because of a saturation of hydrodynamic (Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholz ...

Observing the structure of the interstellar clouds [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2005 We discuss some methods for characterizing the mass distribution in the interstellar clouds. This is done in the light of available observational techniques and of appropriate statistical tools capable to highlight the structural properties of the astronomical images.

Measuring the fractal structure of interstellar clouds [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991 To study the structure of interstellar clouds we used the so-called perimeter-area relation to estimate fractal dimensions. We studied the reliability of the method by applying it to artificial fractals and discuss some of the problems and pitfalls. Results for two different cloud types (high-velocity clouds (HVCs) and infrared cirrus) are summarized ...

Hierarchical structure of the interstellar molecular clouds and star formation
Open Astronomy, 2017 Properties of the hierarchical structures of interstellar molecular clouds are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the statistical correlations between velocity dispersion and size, and between the magnetic field strength and gas density.

CALCULATION OF CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM IN THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 In order to calculate the molecular concentrations in the interstellar cloud and to obtain heir spatial distribution we have made a computational code to solve the set of equations for chemical equilibrium and equations of charge and atom balance.

INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS BY SEARCHLIGHT [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2009 Interpretation of high-resolution observations of absorption by interstellar clouds of radiation from extragalactic sources should include the effect of the Earth's motion with respect to the source. High-resolution H I absorption profiles that are not heavily blended have been published for eight sources.
