Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of Protonated Benzonitrile, 2-Cyanonaphthalene, and 9-Cyanoanthracene for Astrochemical Consideration. [PDF]
ChemphyschemExperimental infrared absorption spectra of three protonated cyano‐substituted PAHs measured by infrared multiple photon dissociation using the free‐electron laser Free‐Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments are studied. These spectra are compared to an emission spectrum measured by JWST, and the largest measured protonated cyano‐PAH, cyanoanthracene,

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 ...

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.

Interstellar hydrocarbons: degradation chemistry in diffuse clouds [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT Observations of diffuse clouds showed that they contain a number of simple hydrocarbons [e.g. CH, C2H, (l- and c-)C3H2, and C4H] in abundances that may be difficult to understand on the basis of conventional gas-phase chemical models.

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 ...

Turbulence in Interstellar Clouds [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989 Above masses of the order of lOO M⊙, molecular clouds have masses and sizes which scale like those of self-gravitating polytropes bounded by an external pervading pressure. It is unlikely that this scaling is due to mere observational bias. But the physics underlying this behaviour is far from being understood.

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,

Communications Chemistry, 2022 The detection of glycine in comets is suggestive of a cosmic origin for amino acids on Earth, but the formation of glycine in interstellar media remains poorly understood.
