Anomalous Neutral Hydrogen Column Densities in Local Interstellar Medium Clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Analysis of high-resolution spectra of the hydrogen and deuterium Ly α lines provides measurements of interstellar neutral hydrogen column densities N (H i ) to 113 stars within 50 pc of the Sun. Plots of N (H i ) versus distance through the LIC, G, Mic,

UV–Vis Spectra of Carbonic Acid: Rationalizing Experimental Redshifts between Monomer and Bulk based on (H2CO3)n Calculations

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 18, September 19, 2025.
In bulk carbonic acid (e.g., in interstellar icy dust grains) cluster formation produces two distinct UV‐Vis spectral features redshifted by ≈2 eV (25 nm) and by ≈5 eV (80 nm) compared to gas phase single molecule carbonic acid 's adiabatic ionization energy. Theory and experiment were used to investigate the origin of these shifts.

Atomic and Molecular Gas in the Milky Way. I. Structure Decomposition

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present GDCluster, a fully automated algorithm for decomposing a spectral-line data cube of interstellar gas into coherent structures. Assuming a multi-Gaussian nature of observed spectra, GDCluster employs and augments the derivative spectroscopy ...

Hierarchical structure of the interstellar molecular clouds and star formation

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2017
Properties of the hierarchical structures of interstellar molecular clouds are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the statistical correlations between velocity dispersion and size, and between the magnetic field strength and gas density.

Plasma Production by Laser Ablation of Heavy Metals

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 65, Issue 7, August 2025.
ABSTRACT An Nd:YAG focused laser operating at 1064 nm, 3 ns pulse width, 360 mJ pulse energy, is employed to irradiate heavy metals, such as Ta, W, Pt, Au, and Pb. The in‐vacuum irradiation produces an expanding plasma at the target surface which has high density, temperature, and kinetic energy of emitted ions. Ions have a velocity of the order of 104

Observations of the Local Interstellar Cloud [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1997
AbstractConstraints on the ambient (circumsolar) interstellar medium can be derived from observations of interstellar neutrals or their derivatives in the heliosphere. New results have been recently obtained which, when combined with optical and UV observations of the nearby stars (HST-GHRS, EUVE), remove long-standing contradictions and allow us to ...

Abundances of Chemical Elements in Open Star Clusters as Indicators of their Nature

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2015
Applying a compilled catalog, we find that the relative abundances of α-elements in open clusters and in field stars of the thin disk of the Galaxy show different dependencies on metallicity, age and parameters of their Galactic orbits.

Evidence for Spatially Distinct Galactic Dust Populations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present an implementation of a Bayesian mixture model using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo techniques to search for the spatial separation of Galactic dust populations. Utilizing intensity measurements from the Planck High Frequency Instrument, we apply this
