The impact of astrophysical dust grains on the confinement of cosmic rays [PDF]
We argue that charged dust grains could significantly impact the confinement and transport of galactic cosmic rays. For sub-GeV to ∼103 GeV cosmic rays, small-scale parallel Alfvén waves, which isotropize cosmic rays through gyro-resonant interactions,

AGB Winds with Gas-Dust Drift in Stellar Evolution Codes
A significant fraction of new metals produced in stars enter the interstellar medium in the form of dust grains. Including dust and wind formation in stellar evolution models of late-stage low- and intermediate-mass stars provides a way to quantify their

Evidence of Surface Catalytic Effect on Cosmic Dust Grain Analogs: The Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide Surface Reaction [PDF]
Surface chemistry on cosmic dust grains plays an important role in the formation of molecules at low temperatures in the interstellar and circumstellar environments.

Cosmic-ray induced γ-ray emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been examined in this study for the first time. Cross-sections for the formation of γ-quanta in such cosmic-ray collisions were selected in the 1-150 MeV energy range.

Cosmic dust fertilization of glacial prebiotic chemistry on early Earth [PDF]
Earth’s surface is deficient in available forms of many elements considered limiting for prebiotic chemistry. In contrast, many extraterrestrial rocky objects are rich in these same elements.

Supernova Dust Evolution Probed by Deep-sea 60Fe Time History
There is a wealth of data on live, undecayed ^60 Fe ( t _1/2 = 2.6 Myr) in deep-sea deposits, the lunar regolith, cosmic rays, and Antarctic snow, which is interpreted as originating from the recent explosions of at least two near-Earth supernovae.

Experimentally Derived Luminous Efficiencies for Aluminum and Iron at Meteoric Speeds
Calculating meteoroid masses from photometric observations relies on prior knowledge of the luminous efficiency, a parameter that is not well characterized; reported values vary by several orders of magnitude.
