Cis–Trans Rotational Isomerism of Formic Acid, Sulfur, and Selenium Analogues and Their Dimers: Chemical Kinetics Under Interstellar Conditions

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present chemical kinetic rate constants for the cis to trans isomerisation or rotamerization of monomeric seleno‐, thio‐, and formic acids and that of three of their dimeric species, based on variational transition state theory and multidimensional tunneling calculations in the gas‐phase, from 10 K to 300 K. These provide, firstly, reliable

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

The density distribution and 58.4 nm radiation intensity of interstellar helium in the heliosphere: a model simulation

Earth and Planetary Physics
Research on the interstellar medium and its interaction with the solar system constitutes a significant topic in planetary physics. As the Sun traverses the local interstellar cloud, interstellar neutrals penetrate the heliosphere, forming the ...

An Instrument for Isomer‐Specific Action Spectroscopy of Charged Clusters: Electronic Spectra of C 14 + and Ca@C 60 +

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Disentangling spectral congestion of a mixture of isomers in gas‐phase spectroscopy is critical. We present an instrument combining ion mobility, mass spectrometry, and spectroscopy in a cryogenic 3D Paul trap to investigate the isomer‐specific charged clusters and illustrate its performance with the electronic spectra of C14+ and Ca@C60+. Interpreting

CALCULATION OF CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM IN THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
In order to calculate the molecular concentrations in the interstellar cloud and to obtain heir spatial distribution we have made a computational code to solve the set of equations for chemical equilibrium and equations of charge and atom balance.

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 ...

The Infrared Complex Refractive Index and Band Strengths of Coronene Thin Films

The Astrophysical Journal
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have long been theorized to be present in a multitude of interstellar environments. The radio-frequency detections of specific cyanosubstituted PAH molecules in the Taurus Molecular Cloud have provided new ...

DESTRUCTION OF THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS BY THESHOCK WAVES

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2008
We study the influence of the interstellar cloud structure irregularity on the dynamics of its destruction by a supernova shock wave. It is shown that irregular clouds are destroyed twice quickly as the spherical ones.

Evaluating maturity of organic matter in hydrated C1 and CM‐like clasts and a dehydrated clast within a polymict eucrite and a howardite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1965-1993, August 2026.
Abstract Volatile‐rich xenolithic clasts in different types of brecciated meteorites represent unique pristine solar system material. This study investigates the maturity and thermal history of organic matter using Raman spectroscopy and aqueous alteration effects using infrared spectroscopy in the matrix of 15 volatile‐rich clasts (C1 and CM‐like ...

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.
