The mass spectrum of interstellar clouds [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989
AbstractThe abundance of 21-cm absorption lines seen in surveys at high latitudes can be translated into a line of sight abundance of clouds vs. column density using an empirical relationship between temperature and optical depth. As VLA surveys of 21-cm absorption at low latitudes are now becoming available, it is possible to study the variation of ...

Adsorption of Helium on Cationic or Anionic Tetracene and Pentacene

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
How does the arrangement of helium atoms that are adsorbed on tetracene or pentacene ions change with increasing coverage? When does the adsorption layer change from 1D to 2D, and to 3D? Is the transition abrupt? Are the helium atoms localized? Is the arrangement the same for cations and anions? What changes as the acene grows in length?

Mapping Our Path through the Local Interstellar Medium: High-resolution Ultraviolet Absorption Spectroscopy of Sight Lines along the Sun’s Historical Trajectory

The Astrophysical Journal
Using high-resolution UV data obtained from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope, we focus on eight sight lines along the Sun’s historical trajectory to reconstruct the morphology of our most recent interstellar ...

Earth's Mesosphere During Possible Encounters With Massive Interstellar Clouds 2 and 7 Million Years Ago

Geophysical Research Letters
Our solar system's path has recently been shown to potentially intersect dense interstellar clouds 2 and 7 million years ago: the Local Lynx of Cold Cloud and the edge of the Local Bubble.

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Tautomerization Reactions of 1,1‐ and 1,2‐Ethenediols

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 57, Issue 12, Page 687-696, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Tautomerism is a common phenomenon amongst organic molecules with easily interconvertible isomers, which can impact drug action and toxicity. Here we are interested in the enols of carboxylic acids, which are known to be much less stable than their acid counterparts.

A modified theoretical Σ − D relation for supernova remnants: I. The case of constant temperature within the supernova remnant [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2003
We present a modification of the theoretical Σ − D relation for supernova remnants (SNRs) in the adiabatic expansion phase. This modification is based on the convolution of the relation first derived by Shklovsky with the Σ − D relation derived in this ...

Is the Sun Embedded in a Typical Interstellar Cloud?

, 2008
The physical properties and kinematics of the partially ionized interstellar material near the Sun are typical of warm diffuse clouds in the solar vicinity.

Turbulent Formation of Interstellar Structures and the Connection Between Simulations and Observations [PDF]

, 1999
I review recent results derived from numerical simulations of the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM), in particular concerning the nature and formation of turbulent clouds, methods for comparing the structure in simulations and observations, and the ...

A translated utopia: Embodied communication, media ideologies, and Star Trek's Universal Translator

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 35, Issue 3, December 2025.
Abstract This paper uses Star Trek's “Universal Translator” (UT) as a point of departure for considering the imagined future of mediated linguistic interactions and of contact across difference. Although such a technology does not exist, taking its potentialities seriously as folkloric devices allows for an exploration of ideologies relating to ...

Modeling the Motion and Distribution of Interstellar Dust inside the Heliosphere [PDF]

, 1999
The interaction of dust grains originating from the local interstellar cloud with the environment inside the heliosphere is investigated. As a consequence of this interaction the spatial distribution of interstellar dust grains changes with time.
