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.

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.

Cloud-to-cloud Velocity Dispersions Across a Local Arm Segment
The Astrophysical JournalUsing a large sample of 9617 molecular clouds (MCs) from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting survey, we mainly measure one-dimensional cloud-to-cloud velocity dispersions across a 450 deg ^2 segment of the Local Arm in the Galactic second quadrant.

Interstellar processes: Ortho/para conversion, radiative association, and dissociative recombination
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 The study of the ortho-to-para ratio of assorted gas-phase interstellar molecules such as H2, H2O, NH3, and H2O+ has gained interest in recent years, based partially on new spectral observations of light hydrides by the Herschel Space Observatory ...

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present chemical kinetic rate constants for the cis to trans isomerisation or rotamerization of monomeric seleno‐, thio‐, and formic acids and that of three of their dimeric species, based on variational transition state theory and multidimensional tunneling calculations in the gas‐phase, from 10 K to 300 K. These provide, firstly, reliable

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Volatile‐rich xenolithic clasts in different types of brecciated meteorites represent unique pristine solar system material. This study investigates the maturity and thermal history of organic matter using Raman spectroscopy and aqueous alteration effects using infrared spectroscopy in the matrix of 15 volatile‐rich clasts (C1 and CM‐like ...

Tidal Disruption of “Snow Clouds” by Unassociated Stars
The Astrophysical JournalIt has been suggested that star-forming galaxies may host a substantial, dark reservoir of gas in the form of planetary-mass molecular clouds that are so cold that H _2 can condense.
