Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970 The observation of molecules in the interstellar medium offers an excellent oppor- tunity to specify the physical conditions present there. This must be done through the combined use of theory and observation. In the last few years the advancement in this area has accelerated spectacularly.

Theoretical Water Binding Energy Distribution and Snowline in Protoplanetary Disks
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Water is one of the most important and abundant molecules in star-forming regions. In protoplanetary disks, where planets and comets form, H _2 O is in a gas or solid form, depending on the dust temperature, i.e., the distance from the center and its ...

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

Electronic spectroscopy of cold cations in a 22-pole trap by indirect methods [PDF]
, 2013 The confining capabilities of a 22-pole ion trap have been employed to mea- sure electronic spectra of cations of astrophysical relevance. The ion trap sits on the head of a closed cycle cryostat, enabling collisional cooling of the confined ions with

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.
