Recent Advances in the Domain of Cyclic (Alkyl)(Amino) Carbenes
The present review highlights recent developments in the domain of cyclic (alkyl) (amino) carbenes with the emphasis on their applications in the field of catalysis, activation of small molecules, radical chemistry, organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs), medicinal chemistry, and single‐molecule magnets (SMMs). Abstract Isolation of cyclic (alkyl) amino

Dust absorption and scattering in the silicon K-edge [PDF]
The composition and properties of interstellar silicate dust are not well understood. In X-rays, interstellar dust can be studied in detail by making use of the fine structure features in the Si K-edge.

Supernova Rates and Burial of Organic Matter
Abstract Life on Earth appears to have evolved under the influence of supernovae activity in the solar neighborhood. Supernovae frequency regulates the flux of cosmic ray particles arriving at the top of the Earth's atmosphere, where empirical evidence supports a close connection between cosmic rays, clouds, and climate.

Laboratory exploration of mineral precipitates from Europa's subsurface ocean
Precipitation experiments from a model Europan ocean solution subjected to fast and slow freezing suggest that the highly hydrated Na–Mg sulfate phase Na2Mg(SO4)2·16H2O is one of the lowest‐temperature mineral phases likely to be stable on Europa's surface and may therefore be astrobiologically significant.The precipitation of hydrated phases from a ...

Abstract Four‐dimensional (4D) relativistic scattering of electromagnetic waves from an arbitrary collection of uniformly translational moving lossy dielectric spheres is discussed. Two reference frames, four 4D coordinate systems and Lorentz transformation are used to obtain the scattered electromagnetic fields.

Detection of PAH Absorption and Determination of the Mid-infrared Diffuse Interstellar Extinction Curve from the Sight Line toward Cyg OB2-12 [PDF]
The sight line toward the luminous blue hypergiant Cyg OB2-12 is widely used to study interstellar dust on account of its large extinction (AV ≃ 10 mag) and the fact that this extinction appears to be dominated by dust typical of the diffuse interstellar

An imaging polarimetry survey of Type Ia supernovae: are peculiar extinction and polarization properties produced by circumstellar or interstellar matter? [PDF]
Some highly reddened Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) display low total-to-selective extinction ratios ($R_V \lesssim 2$) in comparison to that of typical Milky Way dust ($R_V \approx 3.3$), and polarization curves that rise steeply to blue wavelengths, with ...

THEMIS 2.0: A self-consistent model for dust extinction, emission, and polarisation [PDF]
Recent observational constraints in emission, extinction, and polarisation have at least partially invalidated most of the astronomical standard grain models for the diffuse interstellar medium.

Interstellar Silicon Depletion and the Ultraviolet Extinction [PDF]
Spinning small silicate grains were recently invoked to account for the Galactic foreground anomalous microwave emission. These grains, if present, will absorb starlight in the far ultraviolet (UV).

Three-dimensional Distribution of the Interstellar Dust in the Milky Way [PDF]
We present a three-dimensional (3D) extinction map of the southern sky. The map covers the SkyMapper Southern Survey (SMSS) area of ∼14,000 deg2 and has spatial resolutions between 6.′9 and 27′.
