The influence of galactic cosmic rays on ion-neutral hydrocarbon chemistry in the upper atmospheres of free-floating exoplanets

open access: yes, 2014
The authors highlight financial support of the European Community under the FP7 by an ERC starting grant.Cosmic rays may be linked to the formation of volatiles necessary for prebiotic chemistry.

The May 2024 Superstorm Coronal Mass Ejections as Observed by the Psyche Gamma‐Ray and Neutron Spectrometer

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We report new measurements of high‐energy protons ejected by the sun during the May 2024 Ganon superstorm. Our observations were made by the Neutron Spectrometer (NS) on the Psyche spacecraft, which was located at a solar distance of approximately 2 AU and a Sun‐Earth‐Probe separation angle of 75°.

Interstellar Extinction in the Direction of The Barnard 1 Dark Cloud in Perseus

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
Spectral and luminosity classes, absolute magnitudes, color excesses, interstellar extinctions and distances are determined for 98 stars down to 18 mag in the Barnard 1 dark cloud belonging to the Per OB2 association. The classification of stars is based

Structure and evolution of interstellar carbonaceous dust. Insights from the laboratory

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
A large fraction of interstellar carbon is locked up in solid grains. The nature, origin and evolution of these grains have been investigated for decades.

Detection of Deuterated Formaldehyde in Interstellar Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1979
AbstractDeuterated formaldehyde has been detected for the first time in interstellar clouds; the observed ratio HDCO/H2CO implies formation by gas phase chemistry.

Mapping Our Path through the Local Interstellar Medium: High-resolution Ultraviolet Absorption Spectroscopy of Sight Lines along the Sun’s Historical Trajectory

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using high-resolution UV data obtained from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope, we focus on eight sight lines along the Sun’s historical trajectory to reconstruct the morphology of our most recent interstellar ...

Prebiotic Organic Chemistry of Diketopiperazines

open access: yesAsian Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
Diketopiperazines (DKPs) are considered essential in many life forms, but their prebiotic importance has not been fully understood. This review aims to discuss prebiotic organic chemistry for experimentally and computationally simulated reactions involving DKPs. ABSTRACT Even though the significance of amino acids and polypeptides is well recognized in

A photon transport problem with a time-dependent point source

open access: yes, 2009
We consider a time-dependent problem of photon transport in an interstellar cloud with a point photon source modeled by a Dirac δ functional. The existence of a unique distributional solution to this problem is established by using the theory of ...

Earth's Mesosphere During Possible Encounters With Massive Interstellar Clouds 2 and 7 Million Years Ago

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Our solar system's path has recently been shown to potentially intersect dense interstellar clouds 2 and 7 million years ago: the Local Lynx of Cold Cloud and the edge of the Local Bubble.

Observations of Multiphase, High-velocity, Shocked Gas in the Vela Supernova Remnant

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present an analysis of high-resolution far-UV archival spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope of the star HD 75309, which probes high-velocity shocked gas in the Vela supernova remnant (SNR).
