    Extinction Maps toward the Milky Way Bulge: Two-dimensional and Three-dimensional Tests with APOGEE
    Galactic interstellar extinction maps are powerful and necessary tools for Milky Way structure and stellar population analyses, particularly toward the heavily...

    Extreme nitrogen enrichment in the asymmetrical planetary nebulae M1-75
    In the framework of the morphological survey of northern sky planetary nebulae, in progress at the IAC we investigate in detail those nebulae that show...

    Far-infrared constraints on the contamination by dust-obscured galaxies of high-z dropout searches
    The spectral energy distributions (SED) of dusty galaxies at intermediate redshift may look similar to very high-redshift galaxies in the optical/near infrared...

    First Observation of the Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum in a Translucent Molecular Cloud
    Polarized emission from aligned dust is a crucial tool for studies of magnetism in the ISM, but a troublesome contaminant for studies of cosmic microwave...

    First results of an Hα based search of classical Be stars in the Perseus Arm and beyond
    We investigate a region of the Galactic plane, between 120° ≤ ℓ ≤ 140° and -1° ≤ b ≤ +4°, and uncover a population of moderately reddened (E(B - V) ˜ 1)...

    Fractal dimension of optical cirrus in Stripe82
    The geometric characteristics of dust clouds provide important information on the physical processes that structure such clouds. One of such characteristics is...

    Fullerenes and Buckyonions in the Interstellar Medium
    We show that photoabsorption by fullerenes and buckyonions (multishell fullerenes) explain the shape, width, and peak energy of the most prominent feature of...

    Fullerenes as carriers of extinction, diffuse interstellar bands and anomalous microwave emission
    According to semiempirical models, photoabsorption by fullerenes (single and multishell) could explain the shape, width and peak energy of the most prominent...

    Gaia Data Release 3. Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862 nm
    Context. Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play...
