Within the precise cosmological framework provided by the Λ-cold dark matter model and
standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of the pregalactic gas can now …

We present the fifth release of the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry (UDfA). The new
reaction network contains 6173 gas-phase reactions, involving 467 species, 47 of which are …

An emerging theme in modern astrophysics is the connection between astronomical
observations and the underlying physical phenomena that drive our cosmos. Both the …

The direct collapse model for the formation of massive seed black holes in the early
Universe attempts to explain the observed number density of supermassive black holes …

An accurate treatment of the multiphase interstellar medium (ISM) in hydrodynamic galaxy
simulations requires that we follow not only the thermal evolution of the gas, but also the …

This work presents experiments and modelling of OH densities in a radio-frequency driven
atmospheric-pressure plasma in a plane-parallel geometry, operated in helium with small …

For solar system objects, ultraviolet spectroscopy has been critical in identifying sources of
stratospheric heating and measuring the abundances of a variety of hydrocarbon and sulfur …

New measurements of the absolute cross sections for dissociative electron attachment
(DEA) in molecular hydrogen and deuterium are presented which resolve previous …

A plasma-combustion coupling mechanism is proposed and applied to the laser-induced
atmospheric-pressure ignition and combustion of a hydrogen jet as assisted by a dielectric …

We present the temperature-dependent reaction rate coefficients of CN− and C 3 N− with
atomic hydrogen in the temperature range from 7 to 290 K, measured in a 16-pole radio …
