We present measurements of interstellar H_2 absorption lines in the continuum spectra of seven early-type stars in the Galactic disk at distances between 1 and 4 kpc. Five of these stars provide lines of sight through the Sagittarius spiral…

We report the results of initial FUSE observations of molecular hydrogen (H2) in translucent clouds. These clouds have greater optical depth than any of the diffuse clouds previously observed for far-UV H2 absorption, and provide new…

Stars form by accreting material from their surrounding disks. There is a consensus that matter flowing through the disk is channelled onto the stellar surface by the stellar magnetic field. This is thought to be strong enough to truncate…

Integral-field spectroscopy of molecular hydrogen in the optical wavelength region and complementary long-slit near-infrared spectroscopy are presented towards HH91A.The detection of some 200 H_2 lines arising from ro-vibrational levels up…

The process of accretion through circumstellar disks in young stellar objects is an integral part of star formation and the $H\alpha$ emission line is a prominent signature of accretion in low-mass stars. We present the detection and…

We model gas and dust emission from regions 0.3-20 AU from a central low mass star in intermediate-aged(~10Myr) disks with optically thin dust. The models treat thermal balance and chemistry self-consistently and calculate the vertical…
