On the Formation of Interstellar Gas Clouds [PDF]
Reviews of Modern Physics, 1958 The characteristic features of interstellar gas clouds—existence of large density fluctuations, their connection with cosmic dust, stretching along the magnetic fields, and so on—may be described by a shock wave theory in interstellar space.The author has developed a theory of stationary shock waves accompanied by losses of energy by means of radiation.

Organic molecules in translucent interstellar clouds. [PDF]
Orig Life Evol Biosph, 2014 Absorption spectra of translucent interstellar clouds contain many known molecular bands of CN, CH+, CH, OH, OH(+), NH, C2 and C3. Moreover, one can observe more than 400 unidentified absorption features, known as diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), commonly believed to be carried by complex, carbon-bearing molecules.

Missing interstellar sulfur in inventories of polysulfanes and molecular octasulfur crowns [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe disparity between predicted sulfur abundances and identified reservoirs of sulfur in cold molecular clouds, also known as the sulfur depletion problem, has remained an ongoing debate over decades.

Molecular Clouds in the Galactic Plane from l = [59.°75, 74.°75] and b = [−5.°25, +5.°25]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 In this paper we present the distribution of molecular gas in the Milky Way Galactic plane from l = [59.75, 74.75]° and b = [−5.25, +5.25]°, using the MWISP ^12 CO/ ^13 CO/C ^18 O emission-line data.

Diffuse Interstellar Clouds [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1992 AbstractDiffuse clouds are interstellar objects through which starlight is not greatly extinguished. As a result, many studies rely on ultraviolet and visible measurements. The focus of this review is on spectroscopic work involving atomic and molecular lines. From these measurements, the physical and chemical makeup of the clouds is derived.

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 ...

Creating a new paradigm for the local interstellar medium–A perspective
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 The interstellar medium close to the Sun called the local ISM (LISM) provides critical insights into physical processes and phenomena in the more distant interstellar medium in our Galaxy without the confusion of many complex structures in the sight ...
