Toward an efficient second‐order method for computing the surface gravitational potential on spherical‐polar meshes

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 8, October 2024.
Abstract Astrophysical accretion discs that carry a significant mass compared with their central object are subject to the effect of self‐gravity. In the context of circumstellar discs, this can, for instance, cause fragmentation of the disc gas, and—under suitable conditions—lead to the direct formation of gas‐giant planets.

The Thermal Pressure of the Hot Interstellar Medium derived from Cloud Shadows in the Extreme Ultraviolet [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We have used the Deep Survey telescope of EUVE to investigate shadows in the diffuse EUV/Soft X-Ray background cast by clouds in the interstellar medium. We confirm the existence of a shadow previously reported, and provide evidence for two new shadows.

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 ...

Overlapping Open Clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758 behind the Taurus Dark Clouds. II. CCD Photometry in the Vilnius System

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
Seven-color photometry in the Vilnius system has been obtained for 420 stars down to V = 16 mag in the area containing the overlapping open clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758 in Taurus.

Theoretical Calculations for the Acidity of Cyanopolyynes HC2n+1N (n = 0–5) in Gas and Aqueous Phases Using Ab initio Methods

open access: yesARO-The Scientific Journal of Koya University, 2019
Cyanopolyynes have been found in the interstellar medium, cold dust cloud Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, and the Titan’s atmosphere. Theoretical calculations are carried out to predict gas and aqueous phase acidities of a series of cyanopolyynes acids.

Large-scale Interstellar Structure and the Heliosphere [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
The properties of interstellar clouds near the Sun are ordered by the Loop I superbubble and by the interstellar radiation field. Comparisons of the kinematics and magnetic field of the interstellar gas flowing past the Sun, including the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC), indicate a geometric relation between Loop I as defined by radio synchrotron ...

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 ...

Nearby Supernova and Cloud Crossing Effects on the Orbits of Small Bodies in the Solar System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Supernova (SN) blasts envelop many surrounding stellar systems, transferring kinetic energy to small bodies in the systems. Geologic evidence from ^60 Fe points to recent nearby SN activity within the past several Myr.

A Component of the Smith High-velocity Cloud Now Crossing the Galactic Plane

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We have identified a new structure in the Milky Way: a leading component of the Smith high-velocity cloud that is now crossing the Galactic plane near longitude 25°. Using new 21 cm H i data from the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), we measured the properties
