The new generation of spectrometers designed for extreme precision radial velocities enable correspondingly precise stellar spectroscopy. It is now fruitful to...
Infrared Spectral Fingerprint of Neutral and Charged Endo- and Exohedral Metallofullerenes
Small metal-containing molecules have been detected and recognized as one of the hybrid species that are efficiently formed in space, especially in the...
Infrared spectroscopy and integrated molar absorptivity of C60 and C70 fullerenes at extreme temperatures
The detection of C60 and C70 fullerenes in young planetary nebulae and in reflection nebulae suggests that these molecules are more common in certain...
Infrared spectroscopy of fullerene C60/anthracene adducts
Recent Spitzer Space Telescope observations of several astrophysical environments such as planetary nebulae, reflection nebulae and R Coronae Borealis stars...
Infrared Spectroscopy of RNA Nucleosides in a Wide Range of Temperatures
The RNA world hypothesis suggests that early cellular ancestors relied solely on RNA molecules for both genetic information storage and cellular functions. RNA...
We present a study of 16 planetary nebulae (PNe) where fullerenes have been detected in their Spitzer Space Telescope spectra. This large sample of objects...
Irradiation origin and stability of CO on trans-Neptunian objects: Laboratory constraints and observational evidence from JWST/DiSCo-TNOs
Context. The James Webb Space Telescope large program DiSCo-TNOs has recently shown that CO 2 ice is ubiquitous on 54 mediumsize trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)...
Mid- and far-infrared spectroscopy of nucleobases: molar extinction coefficients, integrated molar absorptivity, and temperature dependence of the main bands
The nucleobases, namely the purines adenine and guanine and the pyrimidines cytosine, thymine, and uracil, are the key monomers of the information polymers DNA...
We present the new stellar population synthesis models based on the empirical stellar spectral library MILES, which can be regarded nowadays as standard in the...
