Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Water ice is an important rock‐forming mineral, both on the Earth and on various extraterrestrial bodies. Naturally occurring ice is often “dirty”–an intimate mixture with harder mineral grains, which can have significant effects on the bulk properties of the aggregate. We have used neutron powder diffraction, with in situ triaxial deformation,

Heidelberger Jahrbücher Online, 2017 The NASA Stardust mission returned the first tiny samples of interstellar dust from beyond the borders of our solar system. This region is almost devoid of matter and the interstellar dust particles floating through our solar system are extremely rare ...

SpeX Near-infrared Spectroscopic Extinction Curves in the Milky Way
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Interstellar dust extinction curves provide valuable information about dust properties, including the composition and size of the dust grains, and are essential to correct observations for the effects of interstellar dust.

Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space
The Modern Law Review, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 723-759, September 2026.As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?
Global Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 553-565, September 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

Interstellar Dust: Contributed Papers [PDF]
, 1989 A coherent picture of the dust composition and its physical characteristics in the various phases of the interstellar medium was the central theme.

Bibechana, 2017 We study the active region in the interstellar medium in which the process of cavity formation is expected. The interaction between wind and its surroundings in the interstellar medium (ISM) provides a laboratory to study the behavior of dust particles.

Stochastic histories of dust grains in the interstellar medium [PDF]
, 1989 The purpose is to study an evolving system of refractory dust grains within the Interstellar Medium (ISM). This is done via a combination of Monte Carlo processes and a system of partial differential equations, where refractory dust grains formed within ...

Modeling of Interstellar Dust Grains
, 2008 Dust has two major effects on light passing through the Interstellar Medium - Interstellar Extinction and Reddening. Interstellar dust grains are typically a fraction of a micron, approximately the wavelength of blue light and hence light passing ...
