... The spectroscopic modes of JWST NIRSpec and MIRI cover the main molecular bands of gas in planet-forming regions, tracing gas at temperatures of 100-1000 K. The integral field units of JWST will resolve the molecular emission in nearby protoplanetary disks, while the high sensitivity will allow observations of disks as far away as the Magellanic Clouds, constraining the chemistry of planet formation in a wide range of environments. ...

... High-resolution Herschel spectroscopy reveals the proto-planetary disk around the young star T Tau N . ... A study led by Linda Podio ( AstroFIt fellow at the Arcetri Observatory) with Inga Kamp (Kapteyn Institute, the Netherlands), Claudio Codella (Observatory of Arcetri) and other collaborators from Grenoble, UK and USA, makes use of high-resolution spectroscopic observations with HIFI on board the Herschel space observatory to characterize the disk around the young star T Tau N . ...

... High-velocity clouds (HVCs) were discovered by Muller, Oort & Raimond (1963) in the 21-cm line emission of neutral, atomic hydrogen. They are gas clouds which are characterised by high radial velocities incompatible with a participation in the rotation of our Galaxy. ... This suggestion was seized by Braun & Burton (1999) who identified 66 compact high-velocity clouds (CHVCs) with positional and kinematic characteristics being compatible with a distribution across the entire Local Group. ...

The compression of the cloud of gas in star forming . ... These data have allowed us to create the dynamic model of the cloud of gas, around this object. ... The results on H2CO absorption lines (figure 1) have shown, that the central part of the cloud represents a clumped envelope of diameter 9 pc with radial velocity 20 km/s. The relation of radial velosity of absorption line and the whole object have allowed simple to define the direction of radial movement - itis compression. ...

All stars are formed deep inside molecular clouds. One of the current enigmas lies in the formation and evolution of molecular clouds, specifically the conversion from atomic to molecular gas. ... In July of 2005 GALFA mapped about 300 square degrees of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC) complex yielding the largest high-resolution 21cm map of a star forming region, while using less than 40 hours of observing time. ...

... The presence of solid­state emission bands is compared to other indicators of circumstellar material, such as Hff emission, optical variability and sub­mm continuum fluxes. ... However, a strong dependence on spectral type of the central star seems to be present: stars with spectral type earlier than B9 show either amorphous silicate in absorption or infrared spectra dominated by PAH emission, whereas more than 70% of the stars of later spectral type show silicate emission. ...

For optical photons, scattering goes as wavelength to the -4 power. In the case of blue photons compared to red photons, this means that blue photons are about 10 times more likely to get scattered than red photons. ...

Dubbed FLIERs for Fast Low-Ionization Emission Regions, these knots of dense gas appear to have been ejected from the central star before it cast of the planetary nebula. ... In the above false-color picture of NGC 7662, the Blue Snowball Planetary Nebula , the FLIERs are featured in the image inserts. ...

... We have measured this "redshift" for the pink black holes, and allowed for it in our calculations. ... We see this effect in the emission from gas around these pink black holes, but it is far too small an effect to account for the pinkness. Thus the swirling motions of gas around or into the black holes cannot produc the colour. ... At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. ...
