TLDR
In this paper, the early phases of stellar evolution were studied and a unified model for interstellar dust was proposed, with the focus on the evolution of dust in the galaxy from within.

Complex Organic Interstellar Molecules

Eric Herbst, +1 more
- 20 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss both the observation and chemistry of complex molecules in assorted interstellar regions in the Milky Way and discuss both their spectra and chemistry, and conclude that complex molecules are excellent probes of the physical conditions and history of the sources where they reside.

Interstellar abundances from absorption-line observations with the hubble space telescope

Blair D. Savage, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1996 - 
TL;DR: The high-resolution spectrograph of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has yielded precision abundance results for a range of interstellar environments, including gas in the local medium, in the warm neutral medium and in cold diffuse clouds, and in distant halo clouds.

The Spitzer/GLIMPSE Surveys: A New View of the Milky Way

Ed Churchwell, +10 more
- 12 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: More than 70 refereed papers have been published based on GLIMPSE data as of 2008 November as mentioned in this paper, and some serendipitous discoveries have been made on evolved stars.

Estimating Star Formation Rates from Infrared and Radio Luminosities: The Origin of the Radio-Infrared Correlation

Eric F. Bell, +1 more
- 01 Apr 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a diverse sample of galaxies from the literature with far-ultraviolet (FUV), optical, infrared (IR), and radio luminosities was assembled to explore the calibration of radio-derived and IR-derived star formation (SF) rates and the origin of the radio-IR correlation.

Interstellar Ice: The Infrared Space Observatory Legacy

Erika L. Gibb, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented 2.5-30 mum spectra from the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer of the Infrared Space Observatory for a total of 23 sources, including embedded young stellar objects spanning a wide range of mass and luminosity.
