Continuous solutions of cosmic-rays and waves in astrophysical environments [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The propagation of energetic charged particles and cosmic rays in magnetized thermal plasma is focused. We consider a four-fluid system that consists of thermal plasma, cosmic rays, and two opposite propagating Alfvén waves to investigate the dynamics ...

Possible Roles of Transition Metal Cations in the Formation of Interstellar Benzene via Catalytic Acetylene Cyclotrimerization [PDF]
Molecules, 2023 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous interstellar molecules. However, the formation mechanisms of PAHs and even the simplest cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene, are not yet fully understood.

The Small-scale Dynamo in a Multiphase Supernova-driven Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Magnetic fields grow quickly, even at early cosmological times, suggesting the action of a small-scale dynamo (SSD) in the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. Many studies have focused on idealized, isotropic, homogeneous, turbulent driving of the SSD.

Multi-line Observations, Models, and Data Needed to Understand the Nature of UV-irradiated Interstellar Matter [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 Far-ultraviolet photons from OB-type massive stars regulate the heating, ionization, and chemistry of much of the neutral interstellar gas in star-forming galaxies.

The Influence of Outflow Feedback in Clumps
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We analyzed the influence of outflow feedback from two perspectives: turbulent support and potential disruptive effect, of which 694 clumps and 188 have been identified as outflow candidates.

High-mass Starless Clumps: Dynamical State and Correlation between Physical Parameters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In order to study the initial conditions of massive star formation, we have previously built a sample of 463 high-mass starless clumps (HMSCs) across the inner Galactic plane covered by multiple continuum surveys.

SOFIA Observations of 30 Doradus. II. Magnetic Fields and Large-scale Gas Kinematics
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The heart of the Large Magellanic Cloud, 30 Doradus, is a complex region with a clear core-halo structure. Feedback from the stellar cluster R136 has been shown to be the main source of energy creating multiple parsec-scale expanding-shells in the outer ...
