Diagnosing the interstellar medium of galaxies with far-infrared emission lines [PDF]
Context. Atomic fine structure lines have been detected in the local Universe and at high redshifts over the past decades. The [C II] emission line at 158 μm is an important observable as it provides constraints on the interstellar medium (ISM) cooling processes. Aims.

The [CII] 158 micron line emission in high-redshift galaxies [PDF]
The [CII] fine structure transition at 158 microns is the dominant cooling line of cool interstellar gas, and is the brightest of emission lines from star forming galaxies from FIR through meter wavelengths.

SÍGAME Simulations of the , , and Line Emission from Star-forming Galaxies at [PDF]
Of the almost 40 star-forming galaxies at (not counting quasi-stellar objects) observed in to date, nearly half are either very faint in or not detected at all, and fall well below expectations based on locally derived relations between star formation ...

Laboratory Measurement of Millimeter-wave Transitions of 13CH2DOH for Astronomical Use
Methanol (CH _3 OH) is an abundant interstellar species and is known to be an important precursor of various interstellar complex organic molecules. Among the methanol isotopologues, CH _2 DOH is one of the most abundant isotopologues and it is often ...

Discovery of Pulsed OH Maser Emission Stimulated by a Pulsar [PDF]
Stimulated emission of radiation has not been directly observed in astrophysical situations up to this time. Here we demonstrate that photons from pulsar B1641-45 stimulate pulses of excess 1720 MHz line emission in an interstellar OH cloud.

Hitomi Observation of Radio Galaxy NGC 1275: The First X-ray Microcalorimeter Spectroscopy of Fe-K{\alpha} Line Emission from an Active Galactic Nucleus [PDF]
The origin of the narrow Fe-K alpha fluorescence line at 6.4 keV from active galactic nuclei has long been under debate; some of the possible sites are the outer accretion disk, the broad line region, a molecular torus, or interstellar/intracluster media.

Measurement of Interstellar Extinction in Emission Line Stars [PDF]
Usually selective interstellar extinction is derived by comparing the spectrum of a reddened star with an unreddened nearby star, preferably of the same spectral type. But in many cases this comparison is not possible, so that new methods have to be used.A direct measure of this quantity is possible when a spectrum shows a number of emission lines as ...

JADES: Probing interstellar medium conditions at z~5.5-9.5 with ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy [PDF]
We present emission line ratios from a sample of 26 Lyman break galaxies from $z\sim5.5-9.5$ with $-17.010. Our high signal-to-noise spectra reveal more than an order of magnitude of scatter in line ratios such as [OII]/H$\beta$ and [OIII]/[OII ...

Backscattering and Line Broadening in Orion
Examination of emission lines in high-velocity-resolution optical spectra of the Orion Nebula confirms that the velocity component on the red wing of the main ionization front emission line is due to backscattering in the Photon Dominated Region.

Discovery of Extensive Optical Emission Associated with the X-ray Bright, Radio Faint Galactic SNR G156.2+5.7 [PDF]
We present wide-field Halpha images of the Galactic supernova remnant G156.2+5.7 which reveal the presence of considerable faint Halpha line emission coincident with the remnant's X-ray emission. The outermost Halpha emission consists largely of long and
