Dust evolution, a global view: II. Top-down branching, nanoparticle fragmentation and the mystery of the diffuse interstellar band carriers [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The origin of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), one of the longest-standing mysteries of the interstellar medium (ISM), is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS). The likely nature of

Interstellar Molecules - Theory [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974 A number of possible mechanisms for the formation of molecules in the interstellar medium are discussed. Plausible suggestions have been made for the production of most of the known diatomics, but there is little understanding of polyatomics so far.

Broadband VLA Spectral-line Survey of a Sample of Ionized Jet Candidates
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The study of the interaction between ionized jets, molecular outflows, and their environments is critical to understanding high-mass star formation, especially because jets and outflows are thought to be key in the transfer of angular momentum outward ...

Molecular Hydrogen and its Proxies HCO+ and CO in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 There is a robust polyatomic chemistry in diffuse, partially molecular interstellar gas that is readily accessible in absorption at radio/millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths.

On the Spatial Distribution of 13CO Structures within 12CO Molecular Clouds
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We look into the 2851 ^12 CO molecular clouds harboring ^13 CO structures to reveal the distribution of the projected angular separations and radial velocity separations between their internal ^13 CO structures.

Interstellar processes: Ortho/para conversion, radiative association, and dissociative recombination
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 The study of the ortho-to-para ratio of assorted gas-phase interstellar molecules such as H2, H2O, NH3, and H2O+ has gained interest in recent years, based partially on new spectral observations of light hydrides by the Herschel Space Observatory ...
