Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and atomic lines are observed as interstellar absorptions in GALAH and other massive spectroscopic stellar surveys. By observing a given DIB toward many stars which are nearly in the same direction, but at different distances, one can reconstruct absorption sites along the line of sight. ...

This collage shows images of six different galaxy clusters taken with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. The clusters were observed in a study of how dark matter in clusters of galaxies behaves when the clusters collide. ... Using visible-light images from Hubble, the team was able to map the post-collision distribution of stars and also of the dark matter (colored in blue), which was traced through its gravitational lensing effects on background light. ...

... It is reasonable to expect that UV part of the irradiating spectrum is most influenced by the grain evolution (growth and sedimentation ) which marks the very initial stage of planet formation. 2 log J [erg s­1 cm­2] 1 0 -1 -2 -3 1000 BB 40 0 0 (A5 ) BB 20 0 00 (A5) Drai ne (A5 ) BP Ta u (A5) BB 40 0 0 (GS) BB 20 0 00 (GS) Drai ne (GS) BP Ta u (GS) Disk Model Density distribution is based on a 1+1D disk ...

Short-Period Comets: Origin and Terrestrial Impact Hazard . ... The model is consistent with the basic observed distributions of near-parabolic comets, short-period comets, Centaurs and high-eccentricity trans-Neptunian objects.This model requires that initial objects in the early Solar System are concentrated to the outer planetary region, and the physical lifetime of comets in the inner planetary region at the present epoch is an increasing function of initial perihelion distances. ...

... Pulsars offer a variety of observables for study of interstellar scattering. Observations of scattering of nearby pulsars and intra-day variable quasars point to the existence of a component of the interstellar medium (ISM) which has properties quite different from the more distant, diffuse ISM. ... The time series of electric field emitted by the pulsar is convolved with an impulse-response function due to scattering, when sampled at the observer plane [1]. ... Nearby interstellar scattering. ...
