(abridged) Radio recombination lines (RRLs) at frequencies $\nu$ < 250 MHz trace the cold, diffuse phase of the ISM. Next generation low frequency interferometers, such as LOFAR, MWA and the future SKA, with unprecedented sensitivity,…
We present the first detection of carbon radio recombination line absorption along the line of sight to Cygnus A. The observations were carried out with the LOw Frequency ARray in the 33 to 57 MHz range. These low frequency radio…
Recombination lines involving high principal quantum numbers populate the radio spectrum in large numbers. Low-frequency (<1 GHz) observations of radio recombination lines (RRLs) primarily from carbon and hydrogen offer a new, if not…
A survey of radio recombination lines (RLs) in the Galactic plane ($l = $ 332\deg $\to$ 89\deg) near 327 MHz made using the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT) has detected carbon RLs from all the positions in the longitude range 0\deg $< l < $…
In the second paper of the series, we have modeled low frequency carbon radio recombination lines (CRRL) from the interstellar medium. Anticipating the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) survey of Galactic CRRLs, we focus our study on the physical…
We report the detection of stimulated hydrogen radio recombination line (RRL) emission from ionized gas in a $z=0.89$ galaxy using 580--1670 MHz observations from the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS). The RRL emission originates in a…
We present results from a search for radio recombination lines in three HI self-absorbing (HISA) clouds at 750 MHz and 321 MHz with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT), and in three Galactic Plane positions at 327 MHz with the…
Diffuse radio recombination lines (RRLs) in the Galaxy are possible foregrounds for redshifted 21~cm experiments. We use EDGES drift scans centered at $-26.7^o$~declination to characterize diffuse RRLs across the southern sky. We find RRLs…
We present a study of hydrogen, helium, and carbon millimeter-wave radio-recombination lines (RRLs) toward ten representative positions throughout the Orion Nebula complex, using the Yebes 40m telescope in the Q band (31.3 GHz to 50.6 GHz)…
This paper considers the suitability of a number of emerging and future instruments for the study of radio recombination lines (RRLs) at frequencies below 200 MHz. These lines arise only in low-density regions of the ionized interstellar…
In earlier papers (Roshi & Anantharamaiah 2000, 2001a), we presented extensive surveys (angular resolution -- 2\deg $\times$ 2\deg & 2\deg $\times$ 6\arcmin) of radio recombination lines (RRLs) near 327 MHz in the longitude range $l = $…
Quantitative understanding of the interstellar medium requires knowledge of its physical conditions. Low frequency carbon radio recombination lines (CRRLs) trace cold interstellar gas, and can be used to determine its physical conditions…
We present results of a search for carbon recombination lines in the Galaxy at 34.5 MHz (C$575\alpha$) made using the dipole array at Gauribidanur near Bangalore. Observations made towards 32 directions, led to detections of lines in…
We present high angular resolution (0.6'') observations made with the VLA of the radio continuum at 8.3 and 43 GHz as well as H92 Alpha and H53 Alpha radio recombination lines from the nearby (3 Mpc) starburst galaxy M82. In the continuum…
We report the first detection of radio recombination lines (RRLs) of ions heavier than helium. In a highly sensitive multi-band (12--50 GHz) line survey toward Orion KL with the TianMa 65-m Radio Telescope (TMRT), we successfully detected…
Context. The combined use of carbon radio recombination lines (CRRLs) and the 158 $\mu$m-[CII] line is a powerful tool for the study of the energetics and physical conditions (e.g., temperature and density) of photodissociation regions…
Context. Gas ionized by starburst activity radiates radio recombination lines (RRLs), from which one can derive the plasma conditions and the number of massive stars formed in the burst, free of dust obscuration effects. Aims. We aimed to…
HII regions made of gas ionized by radiations from young massive stars, are widely distributed in the Milky Way. They are tracers for star formation, and their distributions are correlated with the Galactic spiral structure. Radio…
In this paper, we report the detection of a series of radio recombination lines (RRLs) in absorption near 26 MHz arising from the largest bound carbon atoms detected in space. These atoms, which are more than a million times larger than the…
We have conducted a line survey towards Orion KL using the Q-band receiver of Tianma 65 m radio telescope (TMRT), covering 34.8--50 GHz with a velocity resolution between 0.79 km s$^{-1}$ and 0.55 km s$^{-1}$ respectively. The observations…
