Small metal-containing molecules have been detected and recognized as one of the hybrid species that are efficiently formed in space, especially in the...

We present medium-resolution ( /A 500) absolute spectrophotometry of 15 bright and cool (N-type) carbon stars. The observations were made with a cooled grating...

The detection of C60 and C70 fullerenes in young planetary nebulae and in reflection nebulae suggests that these molecules are more common in certain...

Recent Spitzer Space Telescope observations of several astrophysical environments such as planetary nebulae, reflection nebulae and R Coronae Borealis stars...

The infrared spectra, as well as the integrated molar absorptivity (Ψ) and the molar extinction coefficient (ɛ) of each infrared transition of the hydrogenated...

Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained the first 2.05-2.45 μm infrared spectra of the Galactic bulge low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) GX1+4 and GX13+1. We report...

Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained 2.00-2.45 mu m infrared spectra of a number of low-mass X-ray binaries including Sco X-1, Sco X-2 and GX1 3+1. Sco X-1...

The RNA world hypothesis suggests that early cellular ancestors relied solely on RNA molecules for both genetic information storage and cellular functions. RNA...

We report complete near-infrared (0.9-2.4 mu m) spectral observations of the largest know trans-Neptunian objects (TNO) 28976 = 2001 KX76 taken in two different...
