We report Arecibo 21 cm absorption-emission observations to characterise the physical properties of neutral hydrogen (HI) in the proximity of five giant molecular clouds (GMCs): Taurus, California, Rosette, Mon OB1, and NGC 2264. Strong HI…

We present a unified analysis of the O{\sc vi} absorption-lines seen in the disk and halo of the Milky Way, high velocity clouds, the Magellanic Clouds, starburst galaxies, and the intergalactic medium. We show that these disparate systems…

We used the smallest entrance aperture (0.03 arc-sec wide slit) and highest resolution echelle gratings (E140H and E230H) of STIS on HST to record the interstellar absorption features for 10 different multiplets of neutral carbon at a…

Journal ref.: J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 25, 065602 (2013): We investigated the optical reflectivity of the heavy-fermion metal CeCu2Si2 in the energy range 3 meV - 30 eV for temperatures between 4K - 300K. The results for the charge…

We present HST/STIS and FUSE spectra of the QSO PG 1211+143 (z_em = 0.081) and a galaxy survey of the surrounding field. This sightline shows two strong intergalactic absorption systems at cz ~ 15,300 and 19,300. This sightline addresses…

We have carried out a sensitive high-latitude (|b| > 15deg.) HI 21cm-line absorption survey towards 102 sources using the GMRT. With a 3-sigma detection limit in optical depth of ~0.01, this is the most sensitive HI absorption survey. We…

We present the analysis of five O VI absorbers identified across a redshift path of z $\sim (0.6 - 1.3)$ towards the background quasar PG $1522+101$ with information on five consecutive ionization stages of oxygen from O II to O VI. The…

We present a high spectral resolution optical spectrum of the bright quasar Q~1037-2704. The large number of absorption systems suggests the presence of an intervening supercluster, but the issue remains controversial.\par We demonstrate…

Estimates of the linear extent of heavy-element absorption systems along the line-of-sight to a QSO often assume that the cloud is photoionized and that the temperature takes the equilibrium value where photo-heating balances line cooling.…

We examine a sample of 106 galaxies for which the total luminosities of the two fine structure lines $^{3}P_1$$\rightarrow $$^{3}P_{0}$, and $^{3}P_2$$\rightarrow $$^{3}P_{1}$ of neutral atomic carbon (C) are available, and find their…

We estimate the He II to H I column density ratio, \eta = N(He II)/N(H I), in the intergalactic medium towards the high redshift (z_{em} = 2.885) bright quasar QSO HE 2347-4342 using Voigt-profile fitting of the H I transitions in the Lyman…

We present extensive metal-line absorption properties for 45 absorption systems that were selected by their Mg II absorption at redshifts between 0.4 and 1.4. For each system the properties of several chemical species are determined,…

Here, we study the thermoelectric properties of topological semimetal CoSi in the temperature range $300-800$ K by using combined experimental and density functional theory (DFT) based methods. CoSi is synthesized using arc melting…

With high resolution (0.46kpc/h), adaptive mesh-refinement Eulerian cosmological hydrodynamic simulations we compute properties of O VI and O VII absorbers from the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM). Our new simulations are in broad…

We explore the expected galaxy environments of CIV absorbers at z>5 using the Technicolor Dawn simulations. These simulations reproduce the observed history of reionization, the z~6 galaxy stellar mass function, the Ly$\alpha$ forest…

The heating and cooling of the interstellar medium allow the gas in the ISM to coexist at very different temperatures in thermal pressure equilibrium. The heating cannot be directly determined, but the cooling can be inferred from…

Based on a compilation of OVI, CIV, SiIV and NV data from IUE, FUSE, GHRS, STIS, and COS, we derive an anti- correlation between the stellar temperature and the high ion velocity shift w.r.t. to the photosphere, with positive (resp.…
