A chemical link between methylamine and methylene imine and implications for interstellar glycine formation

open access: yesCommunications 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.

COLLISIONAL EXCITATION OF THE [C ii] FINE STRUCTURE TRANSITION IN INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We analyze the collisional excitation of the 158 μm (1900.5 GHz) fine structure transition of ionized carbon in terms of line intensities produced by simple cloud models.

The Turbulent Interstellar Medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An overview is presented of the main properties of the interstellar medium. Evidence is summarized that the interstellar medium is highly turbulent, driven on different length scales by various energetic processes.

TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THE COSMIC-RAY ACCELERATION AT YOUNG SUPERNOVA REMNANTS INTERACTING WITH INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS: POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS TO RX J1713.7−3946 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Using three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we investigate general properties of a blast wave shock interacting with interstellar clouds.

Large Interstellar Polarisation Survey, II : UV/optical study of cloud-to-cloud variations of dust in the diffuse ISM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
It is well known that the dust properties of the diffuse interstellar medium exhibit variations towards different sight-lines on a large scale. We have investigated the variability of the dust characteristics on a small scale, and from cloud-to-cloud. We

PROPERTIES OF TURBULENCE IN THE VERY LOCAL INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We have investigated the degree to which turbulence in the Very Local Interstellar Clouds resembles the highly studied turbulence in the solar corona and the solar wind, particularly the high-speed solar wind.

How catching the interstellar wind in the inner solar system led the way on a road to interdisciplinary research between heliophysics and astrophysics

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
Combined in situ observations of the interstellar wind through the solar system and of its pickup ions (PUIs), implanted after ionization in the solar wind, explain, in comparison with interstellar absorption lines of nearby stars, that the Sun is in an ...

ON THE DENSITY DISTRIBUTION IN STAR-FORMING INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS [PDF]

open access: yesTeraGrid Conference, 2010
We use deep adaptive mesh refinement simulations of isothermal self-gravitating supersonic turbulence to study the imprints of gravity on the mass density distribution in molecular clouds.

Interstellar processes: Ortho/para conversion, radiative association, and dissociative recombination

open access: yesEPJ 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 ...

The chemistry of fluorine-bearing molecules in diffuse and dense interstellar gas clouds

open access: yes, 2005
We present a theoretical investigation of the chemistry of fluorine-bearing molecules in diffuse and dense interstellar gas clouds. The chemistry of interstellar fluorine is qualitatively different from that of any other element, because - unlike the ...
