Organic Chemistry in the H2-bearing, CO-rich Interstellar Ice Layer at Temperatures Relevant to Dense Cloud Interiors

The Astrophysical Journal
Ice chemistry in the dense, cold interstellar medium (ISM) is probably responsible for the formation of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs). Recent laboratory experiments performed at T ∼ 4 K have shown that irradiation of CO:N _2 ice samples ...

Jovian Auroral Proton Precipitation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The total power of the Jovian aurora is about 1013–1014 W with ultraviolet emission observed in the Lyman and Werner bands of molecular hydrogen. X‐ray, radio, and infrared emissions have also been observed. The Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment and the Jovian Energetic Particle Detector Instrument onboard the Juno spacecraft, orbiting ...

Exploring the Wolf Approach to Constraining NIR Extinction Laws in the Corona Australis Molecular Cloud

The Astronomical Journal
The viability of the star count (Wolf) method is assessed as a means of constraining the near-infrared (NIR) extinction law toward the Corona Australis molecular cloud. Using deep JHK _S photometry from the VISIONS survey, extinction maps with 1′ spatial

Raman analysis of organic refractory materials after energetic processing: Evidence for amorphous carbon on TNOs and comets

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1994-2015, August 2026.
Abstract Amorphous carbon (αC) is found in various extraterrestrial particles, including those thought to originate from the outer Solar System. αC can form through two main processes involving C‐rich materials: exposure to energetic charged particles and thermal processing.

Probing the Distinct Extinction Law of the Pillars of Creation in M16 with JWST

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Investigating the extinction law in regions of high dust extinction, such as the Pillars of Creation within the M16 region, is crucial for understanding the densest parts of the interstellar medium (ISM).
