Technology requirements of exploration beyond Neptune by solar sail propulsion [PDF]
, 2010 This paper provides a set of requirements for the technology development of a solar sail propelled Interstellar Heliopause Probe mission. The mission is placed in the context of other outer solar systems missions, ranging from a Kuiper Belt mission ...

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.

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

Atomistic Modeling of Methyl Formate and Glycolaldehyde Formation on Interstellar Dirty Ice Mantles via a "Radical + Ice" Mechanism. [PDF]
ChempluschemThe presence of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) has been baffling astrochemists for a long time. Methyl formate and glycolaldehyde are widely detected but their abundances mismatch kinetic astrochemical model predictions. Here, the formation of these two COMs is characterized onto a mixed ice surface, highlighting the importance of ...

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 ...

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 ...
