Formation of All Three C2H4O Isomers—Ethylene Oxide (c-C2H4O), Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), and Vinyl Alcohol (CH2CHOH)—in Ethanol-containing Interstellar Analog Ices

The Astrophysical Journal
Oxygen-containing complex organic molecules are key precursors to biorelevant compounds fundamental for the origins of life. However, the untangling of their interstellar formation mechanisms has just scratched the surface, especially for oxygen ...

Exact Rovibronic Equivalence of the Adiabatic and Diabatic Representations of N$$ N $$‐Coupled State Diatomic Systems

Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 46, Issue 20, July 30, 2025.
A novel method demonstrates the numerical equivalence of adiabatic and diabatic representations in N‐state coupled diatomic systems. This crucial finding provides an efficient and accurate way to assess the importance of non‐adiabatic effects, which are often disregarded without rigorous quantitative checks.

Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade

Radio Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Deep Space Network (DSN) has been a core operational element of NASA's crewed and robotic exploration of the Solar System since the early 1960s. The primary role of the DSN has been to acquire telemetry and navigation data, but over the years, its radiometric and radar capabilities have expanded to form a system for obtaining unique ...

Submillimeterwave Spectroscopy of and Interstellar Search for Nitrosomethane: CH3NO

The Astrophysical Journal
New measurements of nitrosomethane (CH _3 NO), a formamide isomer, were done up to 660 GHz. The molecule exhibits internal rotation motion from the CH _3 group, and therefore the analysis with a dedicated rho-axis method code, RAM36, was used. A total of

Matrix Isolation and Solvation of the Benzonitrile Radical Anion

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 35, June 23, 2025.
Hydrated electrons are potent reducing agents that may play significant roles in chemical evolution within astrochemical and prebiotic environments. Benzonitrile, a molecule present in the interstellar medium (ISM), can capture electrons in amorphous water ice at cryogenic temperatures, forming a radical anion.

Nearby Supernova and Cloud Crossing Effects on the Orbits of Small Bodies in the Solar System

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Supernova (SN) blasts envelop many surrounding stellar systems, transferring kinetic energy to small bodies in the systems. Geologic evidence from ^60 Fe points to recent nearby SN activity within the past several Myr.

Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...

Structure Identification of CO Monolayer on Ag(111) Using Atomic Force Microscopy

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 10, May 19, 2025.
Physisorption systems of CO molecules on metal surfaces have long been studied. Nondestructive analysis of weakly adsorbed systems on surfaces still remains a challenging task. In this study, the structure of the CO monolayer is successfully determined by directly visualizing individual CO molecules using atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Theoretical Calculations for the Acidity of Cyanopolyynes HC2n+1N (n = 0–5) in Gas and Aqueous Phases Using Ab initio Methods

ARO-The Scientific Journal of Koya University, 2019
Cyanopolyynes have been found in the interstellar medium, cold dust cloud Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, and the Titan’s atmosphere. Theoretical calculations are carried out to predict gas and aqueous phase acidities of a series of cyanopolyynes acids.
