Multireference configuration interaction study of the predissociation of C via its state
Zhongxing Xu, S. R. Federman, William M. Jackson +3
Photodissociation is one of the main destruction pathways for dicarbon (C) in astronomical environments such as diffuse interstellar clouds, yet the accuracy of modern astroc…
Ab initio Study of Ground-State CS Photodissociation Via Highly Excited Electronic States
Zhongxing Xu, Nan Luo, S. R. Federman +4
Photodissociation by ultraviolet radiation is the key destruction pathway for CS in photon-dominated regions, such as diffuse clouds. However, the large uncertainties of photodisso…
The CN/CN Ratio in Diffuse Molecular Clouds
Adam M. Ritchey, Steven R. Federman, David L. Lambert
We report the first detection of CN in diffuse molecular gas from a detailed examination of CN absorption lines in archival VLT/UVES spectra of stars probing local diffuse c…
Interstellar CN and CH+ in Diffuse Molecular Clouds: 12C/13C Ratios and CN Excitation
A. M. Ritchey, S. R. Federman, D. L. Lambert
We present very high signal-to-noise ratio absorption-line observations of CN and CH+ along 13 lines of sight through diffuse molecular clouds. The data are examined to extract pre…
