Interstellar clouds containing optically thick H2
The theory of Black and Delgarno that the relative populations of the excited rotational levels of H2 can be understood in terms of cascading following absorption in the Lyman and Werner bands is employed to infer the gas densities and radiation fields within diffuse interstellar clouds containing H2 that is optically thin in those bands.

We present the first detection of helium radio recombination lines (HeRRLs) at 800 MHz from the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the Cygnus X region, with an ionized helium-to-hydrogen ratio ( ${{n}}_{{\rm{H}}{\rm{e}}}^{+}/{{n}}_{{\rm{H}}}^{+}$ ) of 0.06 ± 0.

A Pan-galaxy Study of Synthetic Giant Molecular Filaments: A Turbulence-dominated Life Cycle
Recent surveys of the Galactic plane have revealed dozens of giant molecular filaments (GMFs), with lengths ranging from tens to hundreds of parsecs, yet their origins and life cycles remain debated. In this work, we analyze over 700 GMFs identified from

Hierarchical Structure and Self-gravity in the Maddalena Giant Molecular Cloud
In this work, we present data from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting project for the Maddalena giant molecular cloud (GMC). We decompose the ^13 CO emission datacube of the observed region into hierarchical substructures using a modified dendrogram ...

Cloud-cloud collisions in the interstellar medium
Results are presented from time-dependent numerical simulations of cloud-cloud collisions in the interstellar medium. Special emphasis is placed on physically detailed models of cloud collisions. The numerical simulations include heating, cooling, thermal conductivity, self-gravity, and molecule formation; magnetic fields have been neglected.

Dense filaments are believed to be representative of the initial conditions of star formation in molecular clouds. We have used the MIRI instrument on JWST to image the massive filament NGC 6334M at d ∼ 1.3 kpc with unprecedented resolution and dynamic ...
