The Origin of the Cluster of Local Interstellar Clouds

The Astrophysical Journal
The interstellar medium within ≈15 pc of the Sun consists of a complex of 15 diffuse, partially ionized clouds. Located within the Local Bubble, these clouds, known as the Cluster of Local Interstellar Clouds (CLIC), constitute the interstellar ...

First Principles Rovibronic Absorption Spectra of HF Molecule

Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 6, March 5, 2026.
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is astrophysically important, as it has been detected in sunspots, Venus, red giants, and the interstellar medium, serving as a probe of exoplanet atmospheres. This article presents an ab initio investigation of HF rovibronic spectroscopy, combining high‐level electronic‐structure data with nuclear‐motion solutions and refinement

Discovery and Initial Investigation of a New Low Surface Brightness Planetary Nebula Candidate at High Galactic Latitude

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Planetary nebulae represent a late evolutionary phase of low‐ to intermediate‐mass stars. In this article, we present the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown, faint potential Galactic planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Camelopardalis, identified during a survey‐inspection, aiming at the detection of dwarf companions of the ...

Anomalous Neutral Hydrogen Column Densities in Local Interstellar Medium Clouds

The 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,

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

The 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 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.

INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS BY SEARCHLIGHT

The Astronomical Journal, 2009
Interpretation of high-resolution observations of absorption by interstellar clouds of radiation from extragalactic sources should include the effect of the Earth's motion with respect to the source. High-resolution H I absorption profiles that are not heavily blended have been published for eight sources.
