The H2 Glow of a Quiescent Molecular Cloud Observed with JWST

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the H _2 S (1) 17.04 μ m transition in two regions in the boundary of the Taurus molecular cloud. The two regions, denoted “Edge” (near the relatively sharp boundary of the ^13 CO J  = 1 → 0 emission) and “Peak ...

Strength Ratios of Diffuse Interstellar Bands in Slightly Reddened Objects

Universe
The disk of the Milky Way fills the interstellar medium in the form of discrete clouds, many (∼30) light-years across. The average density of this medium is 1 hydrogen atom per cm3 (Oort limit), in the clouds—several dozen atoms, and between the clouds ...

On the Spatial Distribution of 13CO Structures within 12CO Molecular Clouds

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We look into the 2851 ^12 CO molecular clouds harboring ^13 CO structures to reveal the distribution of the projected angular separations and radial velocity separations between their internal ^13 CO structures.

Boron abundances in diffuse interstellar clouds [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009
AbstractWe present a comprehensive survey of B abundances in diffuse interstellar clouds from HST/STIS observations along 56 Galactic sight lines. Our sample is the result of a complete search of archival STIS data for the B II λ1362 resonance line, with each detection confirmed by the presence of absorption from other dominant ions at the same ...

Revisiting CN− Formation Mechanisms in Electron Collisions with Benzonitrile

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study explores negative ion formation via electron attachment, revealing CN− formation at 3.0 and 7–10 eV. Dissociation pathways are analyzed using G4(MP2) and CASPT2 calculations, highlighting the coupling between the π4* and σ* resonances critical for interstellar chemistry. Radiation‐induced processes in the aromatic cyano compound benzonitrile

Complex K: Supernova Origin of Anomalous-velocity H i Structure

The Astrophysical Journal
We address one of the lingering mysteries of high-velocity clouds: If the anomalous negative velocities are the result of the approaching gas from old supernovae, then where are the receding counterparts of the expanding shells?

Modeling sulfur depletion in interstellar clouds [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
Context. The elemental depletion of interstellar sulfur from the gas phase has been a recurring challenge for astrochemical models. Observations show that sulfur remains relatively non-depleted with respect to its cosmic value throughout the diffuse and translucent stages of an interstellar molecular cloud, but its atomic and molecular gas-phase ...

Exploring the Effects of Reduced Gravitational Field Impacts on Convective Heat Transfer: A Comprehensive Review

Heat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 764-774, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes.

Ionize Hard: Interstellar PO+ Detection

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
We report the first detection of the phosphorus monoxide ion (PO+) in the interstellar medium. Our unbiased and very sensitive spectral survey toward the G+0.693–0.027 molecular cloud covers four different rotational transitions of this molecule, two of ...

Entropy Export and Chemical Reactions in Plasmas

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
In a non‐equilibrium plasma, energy is transferred to molecules by electron‐impact (1), collisions among excited molecules (2), and Joule heating (3). The entropy balance for this open system relates the energy available per molecule to changes in entropy, which determines plasma‐based gas conversion. ABSTRACT Is plasma truly a “fourth state of matter”?
