Magnetic Braking of Interstellar Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990
We summarize the results of 3-D MHD calculations for a rotating and self-gravitating interstellar cloud. The angle between the axis of rotation and the magnetic field direction varies between π/2 and 0, the corresponding braking time-scales differ by roughly a factor of 3.

First direct detection of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on asteroid (162173) Ryugu samples: An interstellar heritage

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 4, October 2024.
Large free aromatic species, with up to 61 carbon atoms, were detected in grains of the Ryugu carbonaceous asteroid using ultra‐sensitive two‐step laser mass spectrometry. This discovery confirms the presence of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the interstellar medium and provides new information on the formation and evolution of organic ...

The Local Leo Cold Cloud and New Limits on a Local Hot Bubble

open access: yes, 2011
We present a multi-wavelength study of the local Leo cold cloud (LLCC), a very nearby, very cold cloud in the interstellar medium. Through stellar absorption studies we find that the LLCC is between 11.3 pc and 24.3 pc away, making it the closest known ...

Micro‐ and nanoscale studies of insoluble organic matter and C‐rich presolar grains in Murchison and Sutter's Mill in preparation for Bennu sample analysis

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 59, Issue 10, Page 2831-2850, October 2024.
Abstract Samples of B‐type asteroid (101955) Bennu returned by the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS‐REx) spacecraft will provide unique insight into the nature of carbonaceous asteroidal matter without the atmospheric entry heating or terrestrial weathering effects associated with ...

Cosmic-Ray Induced Diffusion in Interstellar Ices

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2014
Cosmic rays are able to heat interstellar dust grains. This may enhance molecule mobility in icy mantles that have accumulated on the grains in dark cloud cores.

Aditional Ultra-High-Resolution Observations of Ca+ Ions in the Local Insterstellar Medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We present ultra-high-resolution (0.35 km s−1 FWHM) observations of the interstellar Ca K line towards seven nearby stars. The spectral resolution was sufficient to resolve the line profiles fully, thereby enabling us to detect hitherto unresolved ...

A study of X-ray point sources in Heiles Clouds 1 and 2

open access: yesActa Polytechnica
Star formation takes place in the coldest parts of molecular clouds, beginning in the densest, collapsing regions of filaments. As pre-main sequence stars are luminous X-ray emitters, X-ray point sources can serve as effective tracers of YSOs.
