Tidal Disruption of “Snow Clouds” by Unassociated Stars

The Astrophysical Journal
It 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.

Centrosymmetric molecules as possible carriers of diffuse interstellar bands

, 2010
In this paper, we present new data with interstellar C2 (Phillips bands A-X), from observations made with the Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph of the European Southern Observatory.

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 ...

A translated utopia: Embodied communication, media ideologies, and Star Trek's Universal Translator

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper uses Star Trek's “Universal Translator” (UT) as a point of departure for considering the imagined future of mediated linguistic interactions and of contact across difference. Although such a technology does not exist, taking its potentialities seriously as folkloric devices allows for an exploration of ideologies relating to ...

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.

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 ...

The Solar Galactic Environment

, 2004
Combined heliosphere-astronomical data and models enrich our understanding both of effects the solar galactic environment might have on the inner heliosphere, and of interstellar clouds.

A Fractal Origin for the Mass Spectrum of Interstellar Clouds. II. Cloud Models and Power-Law Slopes [PDF]

, 1996
Three-dimensional fractal models on grids of ~2003 pixels are generated from the inverse Fourier transform of noise with a power-law cutoff and exponentiated to give a lognormal distribution of density.

Boundary conditions for the paleoenvironment: Chemical and physical processes in the pre-solar nebula [PDF]

Detailed study of the first interstellar hydrocarbon ring, cyclopropenylidene (C3H2), is continuing. The singly deuterated isotope of this molecule, C3HD, was observed in several cold interstellar clouds.

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?
