Radio recombination lines, discovered a quarter century ago by Soviet
astronomers, indicate the presence of thermal gas in space, and carry
information on the density, temperature, turbulence, and velocity of
thermal plasmas and on magnetic fields. The 27 papers review the
first detection of the phenomenon and its subsequent role in research
in such areas as the physics of the interstellar gas from which stars
form, HII regions excited by newly formed stars, planetary nebulae
involving dying stars, and the structure of the Milky Way and other
galaxies reflecting the large-scale morphology of the star formation
process.
