Atmospheric organic matter in clouds: exact masses and molecular formula identification using ultrahigh-resolution FT-ICR mass spectrometry [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 Clouds alter the composition of atmospheric aerosol by acting as a medium for interactions between gas- and particulate-phase substances. To determine the cloud water atmospheric organic matter (AOM) composition and study the cloud processing of aerosols,

Evidence for a Molecular Cloud Origin for Gamma-Ray Bursts: Implications for the Nature of Star Formation in the Universe [PDF]
, 2001 It appears that the majority of rapidly-, well-localized gamma-ray bursts with undetected, or dark, optical afterglows, or `dark bursts' for short, occur in clouds of size R > 10L_{49}^{1/2} pc and mass M > 3x10^5L_{49} M_{sun}, where L is the isotropic ...

Outer-Galaxy molecular clouds [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985 Since our original report of CO emission from outside the solar circle in the first quadrant (Kutner and Mead, 1981) we have extended the observations in two ways: (1) We have improved latitude and longitude coverage. Preliminary results on the latitude distribution were reported by Kutner (1983).

Fragmentation in molecular clouds [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991 B209. Fragments are detected in the outer parts of the B209 molecular cloud in a region of density 1000 cm−3 using 12CO, 13CO, H2CO, IRAS 60 and 100 μm images, discernable as velocity components, and have characteristics: <Rfragment>∼ 0.4 pc; <Mfragment>∼ 2 M⊙; <MVRfragment>∼ 1.6 M⊙ km/s pc; Tgas ∼ 11 K; Tdust> ∼ 16 K??. The system

Threshold between Spontaneous and Cloud-Collisional Star Formation
, 2006 Based on simple physical and geometric assumptions, we have calculated the mean surface molecular density of spiral galaxies at the threshold between star formation induced by cloud-cloud collision and spontaneous gravitational collapse.

Possibilities for Methanogenic and Acetogenic Life in Molecular Clouds
LifeAccording to panspermia, life on Earth may have originated from life forms transported through space from elsewhere. These life forms could have passed through molecular clouds, where the process of methanogenesis could have provided enough energy to ...
