High-resolution Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of SVS13-A with EXES/SOFIA: The Surprisingly High CH3OH/H2O Ratio in the Planet-forming Zone of a Solar Mass Protostar

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Water and methanol are key components of interstellar ices and gas in star- and planet-forming regions, but direct observations of water in low-mass protostars are challenging due to atmospheric absorption.

Elemental Abundances in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium from Joint Far-ultraviolet and X-Ray Spectroscopy: Iron, Oxygen, Carbon, and Sulfur

The Astronomical Journal
In this study, we investigate interstellar absorption lines along the line of sight toward the galactic low-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-2. We combine absorption line data obtained from high-resolution X-ray spectra collected with the Chandra and XMM ...

Photocleavage of Aliphatic C–C Bonds in the Interstellar Medium

The Astrophysical Journal
Ultraviolet (UV) processing in the interstellar medium (ISM) induces the dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons. Aliphatics, including alkanes, are present in different interstellar environments, being prevalently formed in evolved stars; thus, the ...

Measuring Interstellar Carbon Abundance via 158 μm [C ii] Absorption with SOFIA—A Potential Detection and Proof-of-concept for Depletion Studies with Future Far-IR Facilities

The Astronomical Journal
Carbon plays key roles in the interstellar medium (ISM)—as a constituent of dust, as the carrier of the dominant far-infrared (FIR) cooling line, and as a component of various important molecules.

The FAST H i 21 cm Absorption Blind Survey. II. Statistical Exploration for Associated and Intervening Systems

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present an extragalactic H i 21 cm absorption lines catalog from a blind search at z ≤ 0.35, using drift-scan data collected in 1325.6 hr by the ongoing Commensal Radio Astronomy Fast Survey and FAST All Sky H i Survey, which spans a sky area of 6072 ...

Demystifying Strange O vi Line Widths with Hydrodynamic Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a survey of O vi line widths obtained from hydrodynamic simulations that model the mixing between high-velocity clouds and the circumgalactic medium and track the nonequilibrium ionization populations of the ions.

ALMA Observations of Peculiar Embedded Icy Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
We report the results of molecular line observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) toward two peculiar icy objects, which were discovered serendipitously by infrared spectroscopic survey of the Galactic plane with the AKARI
