The binding energies of atoms on amorphous silicate dust: A computational study

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. We investigate the binding energies of atoms to interstellar dust particles, which play a key role in their growth and evolution as well as the chemical reactions on their surfaces. Aims.

Modeling the Detectability of Energetic Heliospheric Ions at Pluto During the New Horizons Flyby

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We investigate the detectability of heliospheric helium ions at energies up to 100 keV by the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft during its flyby through Pluto's induced magnetosphere. The Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation energetic ion detector observed a reduction in their flux by an order of magnitude as the spacecraft ...

From the Modeling of Experiments to the Ab Initio Prediction of Rate Constants: Statistical Rate Theory for a Quantitative Understanding of Gas‐Phase Ion Chemistry

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
For directly comparing experimental results on gas‐phase ion reactions with the predictions from quantum chemical calculations, the latter must first be converted into rate constants. This review addresses the question of whether current methods of statistical rate theory can accomplish this task reliably. Statistical rate theory has long been used for

An Origin of Radially Aligned Filaments in Hub-filament Systems

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent observations have identified hub-filament systems (HFSs) as the primary formation sites of massive stars and star clusters. Some HFSs are characterized by multiple filaments aligned radially toward a central high-density hub. However, the physical

The dynamic interstellar medium in NGC 4438

The Astronomical Journal, 1993
We present multiwavelength observations of the interstellar medium in the disturbed galaxy NGC 4438. We find extended emission-line filaments, which are kinematically unrelated to the galaxy disk. For one of these features, an extended loop, we propose a scheme in which the 'bubble' seen at radio wavelengths has swept a clear path for outflowing ...

Prebiotic Organic Chemistry of Diketopiperazines

Asian 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

C. F. v. Weizsächer on Quasistationary Isotropic Turbulence Compared With Onsager's Statistical Hydrodynamics

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
v. Weizsäcker and Heisenberg began their turbulence collaboration in 1945 while still quarantined at Farm Hall. Their papers were submitted separately in 1946 from Göttingen. v. Weizsäcker had derived the 5/3 law for dissipation while using dimensional analysis in real space.

High-drag Interstellar Objects and Galactic Dynamical Streams

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2019
Abstract The nature of 1I/’Oumuamua (henceforth, 1I), the first interstellar object (ISO) known to pass through the solar system, remains mysterious. Feng & Jones noted that the incoming 1I velocity vector “at infinity” ( ) is close to the motion of the Pleiades ...
