The impact of astrophysical dust grains on the confinement of cosmic rays [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
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

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
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]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
Surface chemistry on cosmic dust grains plays an important role in the formation of molecules at low temperatures in the interstellar and circumstellar environments.

INDUCING INTRINSIC γ-RAY EMISSION OF THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM BY INTENSE FLUXES OF PROTONS AND α-PARTICLES IN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2020
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.

Experimental Phase Function and Degree of Linear Polarization Curves of Millimeter-sized Cosmic Dust Analogs

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2020
We present laboratory measurements of the phase functions and degree of linear polarization (DLP) curves of a selection of millimeter-sized cosmic dust analog particles.

Cosmic dust fertilization of glacial prebiotic chemistry on early Earth [PDF]

open access: yesNature Astronomy
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

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
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.
