The Simons Observatory: Galactic Science Goals and Forecasts

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Observing in six frequency bands from 27 to 280 GHz over a large sky area, the Simons Observatory (SO) is poised to address many questions in Galactic astrophysics in addition to its principal cosmological goals.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Observational astrochemistry: The quest for interstellar molecules

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Over 160 molecular species, not counting isotopologues, have been identified in circumstellar envelopes and interstellar clouds. These species have revealed a wealth of familiar, as much as exotic molecules and in complex organic (and silicon) compounds,

Microwave Evidence For Interstellar Molecules [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 1971
Some time ago, optical astronomy was successful in detecting the first molecular species in interstellar space. However, these have been limited to the three diatomic molecules CH, CH+, and CN. Consideration of this list made it rather natural, after the development of microwave astronomy, for some attention to be given to a search for OH, which has a ...

Determining the Methanol Deuteration in the Disk Around V883 Orionis with Laboratory Measured Spectroscopy

The Astronomical Journal
Deuterium fractionation, as studied through mono-deuterated methanol, is frequently used as a diagnostic tool to trace the physical conditions and chemical evolution of interstellar sources. This study investigates methanol deuteration in the disk around

ALMA Reveals Diverse Dust-to-gas Mass Ratios and Quenching Modes in Old Quiescent Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent discoveries of dust and molecular gas in quiescent galaxies (QGs) up to z ∼ 4 challenge the long-standing view that the interstellar medium depletes rapidly once star formation ceases, raising key questions of whether dust and gas coevolve in QGs,

Considerations Regarding Cometary and Interstellar Molecules. [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 1942
The visual continua in the spectra of three nebulae photographed with a narrow slit are not produced by the blending of atomic emission lines but must have a physical origin. Several strong He I emission lines just beyond the Balmer limit may tend to vitiate measurements of the intensity distribution in the Balmer continuum on plates taken with a wide ...

Formation of Carbon Monophosphide in Interstellar Environments through the C(3P) + PH(3Σ−) and P(4S) + CH(2Π) Reactions

The Astrophysical Journal
Phosphorus is essential for life, forming the backbones of DNA and RNA, fueling metabolism through ATP, supporting cell membranes, and contributing to bone structure.

Origin of Interstellar Molecules [PDF]

Progress of Theoretical Physics, 1973
It is concluded from a thermochemical calculation that the interstellar molecules in the compact H II regions may be formed in places of high temperature and high pressure. A possibility of the locations of molecular formation may be the prestellar atmospheres, but the atmospheres of late type stars are other possible candidates.

The Infrared Complex Refractive Index and Band Strengths of Coronene Thin Films

The Astrophysical Journal
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have long been theorized to be present in a multitude of interstellar environments. The radio-frequency detections of specific cyanosubstituted PAH molecules in the Taurus Molecular Cloud have provided new ...
