Molecules as probes of the interstellar medium
Molecules as probes of the interstellar medium. It is one of the greatest challenges in Nature is to remotely identify what is in space. Interstellar molecules are identified by their spectra, but many features in these spectra are unknown, implying that

Interstellar grain chemistry and organic molecules [PDF]
, 1990 The detection of prominant infrared absorption bands at 3250, 2170, 2138, 1670 and 1470 cm(-1) (3.08, 4.61, 4.677, 5.99 and 6.80 micron m) associated with molecular clouds show that mixed molecular (icy) grain mantles are an important component of the ...

The Astrophysical JournalInterstellar dust grains are enveloped by ices of frozen molecules in cold, dense regions of the interstellar medium (ISM), which are also observed in the gas phase. Whether a species is in the solid or gaseous state is governed by its binding energy (BE)

The Submillimeter-wave Rotational Spectra of Interstellar Molecules
, 2002 We discuss past and recent progress in our long-term laboratory program concerning the submillimeter-wave rotational spectroscopy of known and likely interstellar molecules, especially those associated with regions of high-mass star formation.

On the Origin of Infrared Bands Attributed to Tryptophan in Spitzer Observations of IC 348
The Astrophysical Journal LettersInfrared emission features toward interstellar gas of the IC 348 star cluster in Perseus have been recently proposed to originate from the amino acid tryptophan.
