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.

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.

Salted Identities: Biocultural Heritage for a Rehumanized Ocean Management in South Africa

open access: yesAnthropology and Humanism, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 363-380, December 2022., 2022
SUMMARY In this article, I discuss coastal and oceanic biocultural heritage and its relevance to a transformed perception of the ocean and coast in South Africa. An anthropology of biocultural heritage at the coast reveals the multidimensional nature of personhoods—specifically transspecies, trans‐material forms of personhood—and the rich dialogical ...

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.

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.

Lifetimes of interstellar dust from cosmic ray exposure ages of presolar silicon carbide

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Dating of interstellar dust directly with astronomical methods is not possible. Neither is dating based on the decay of long-lived radioactive nuclides, due to current analytical limitations and unknown initial isotopic compositions. Here we

Cosmic rays and space weather: effects on global climate change [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2012
We consider possible effects of cosmic rays and some other space factors on the Earth's climate change. It is well known that the system of internal and external factors formatting the climate is very unstable; decreasing planetary temperature leads ...

A Multiwavelength Investigation of Dust and Stellar Mass Distributions in Galaxies: Insights from High-resolution JWST Imaging

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the morphological properties of mid-infrared selected galaxies at 1.0 < z < 1.7 in the SMACS J0723.3-7327 cluster field to investigate the mechanisms of galaxy mass assembly and structural formation at cosmic noon.
