Modeling the Detectability of Energetic Heliospheric Ions at Pluto During the New Horizons Flyby

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We investigate the detectability of heliospheric helium ions at energies up to 100 keV by the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft during its flyby through Pluto's induced magnetosphere. The Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation energetic ion detector observed a reduction in their flux by an order of magnitude as the spacecraft ...

Ion chemistry in interstellar space [PDF]

The temperature dependence of the bimolecular reactions of Cl(+), HCl(+), CH(+), CH2(+), N(+), NH(+), and NH2(+) reacting with H2 have been investigated. For Cl(+) and HCl(+) rate constants have been determined over the temperature range of 150 to 400 K.

First astronomical detection of the CF+ ion

, 2005
We report the first astronomical detection of the CF+ (fluoromethylidynium) ion obtained by recent observations of its J = 1 - 0 (102.6 GHz), J = 2 - 1 (205.2 GHz), and J = 3 - 2 (307.7 GHz) pure rotational emissions toward the Orion Bar.

Ryugu reference project: Recommendations from the measurement definition team

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 819-848, May 2026.
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,

From the Modeling of Experiments to the Ab Initio Prediction of Rate Constants: Statistical Rate Theory for a Quantitative Understanding of Gas‐Phase Ion Chemistry

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
For directly comparing experimental results on gas‐phase ion reactions with the predictions from quantum chemical calculations, the latter must first be converted into rate constants. This review addresses the question of whether current methods of statistical rate theory can accomplish this task reliably. Statistical rate theory has long been used for

Valence Threshold Photoionization Spectra of C5$_5$H and C5$_5$H2$_2$ Isomers

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Mass‐selected threshold photoelectron spectra (TPES) of l‐C5H, HC5H, and c–C3H‐CCH were recorded using double‐imaging photoelectron‐photoion coincidence spectroscopy. These transient species were generated in situ by hydrogen abstraction from cyclopropylacetylene and 1,3‐pentadiyne.

Bottom-up Formation of Phenol (C6H5OH) in Interstellar Analog Ices of Acetylene and Water Exposed to Ionizing Radiation

The Astrophysical Journal
Although oxygenated benzene derivatives are key precursors in the abiotic synthesis of biorelevant molecules and fundamental building blocks of functionalized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, their formation mechanisms under interstellar conditions have

Observations of phosphorus-bearing molecules in the interstellar medium

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The chemistry of phosphorus (31P) in space is particularly significant due to the key role it plays in biochemistry on Earth. Utilising radio and infrared spectroscopic observations, several key phosphorus-containing molecules have been detected in ...
