Dust evolution, a global view I. Nanoparticles, nascence, nitrogen and natural selection … joining the dots [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The role and importance of nanoparticles for interstellar chemistry and beyond is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS), focusing on their active surface chemistry, the effects of ...

Presumed Detection of C5 Molecule in the Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 The paper suggests the presence of the carbon chain C _5 molecule in translucent, interstellar H i clouds. This species, the only five atom interstellar molecule, observable in dark, translucent clouds, seems to be observable in reasonably dense clouds ...

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.

A Search for OH 18 cm Emission from Intermediate-velocity Gas at High Galactic Latitudes
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present search results of 22 high-latitude (∣ b ∣ > 25°) sightlines for OH 18 cm emission using the 305 m radio telescope at the Arecibo Observatory. These sightlines appear in neutral hydrogen emission at intermediate velocities −90 ≤ V _LSR ≤ −20 km

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 ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Observations of OH ^+ are used to infer the interstellar cosmic ray ionization rate in diffuse atomic clouds, thereby constraining the propagation of cosmic rays through and the shielding by interstellar clouds, as well as the low energy cosmic ray ...

The Distance to High-velocity Cloud Complex M
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 λ -21 cm HI4PI survey data are used to study the anomalous-velocity hydrogen gas associated with high-velocity cloud Complex M. These high-sensitivity, high-resolution, high-dynamic-range data show that many of the individual features, including MI, MIIa,

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Stellar systems are often formed through the collapse of dense molecular clouds which, in turn, return copious amounts of atomic and molecular material to the interstellar medium.
