Dust evolution, a global view: II. Top-down branching, nanoparticle fragmentation and the mystery of the diffuse interstellar band carriers [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The origin of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), one of the longest-standing mysteries of the interstellar medium (ISM), is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS). The likely nature of

Turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]
, 2014 Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and ...

The Near-infrared Extinction Law at High and Low Galactic Latitudes
The Astrophysical JournalThe Milky Way dust extinction curve in the near-infrared (NIR) follows a power-law form, but the value of the slope, β _NIR , is debated. Systematic variations in the slope of the Milky Way UV extinction curve are known to be correlated with variations ...

On Our Cosmic (In)significance
Ratio, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article discusses three interpretations of cosmic significance, all of which reveal something important about the notion of significance. Along the way, it proposes a unified view of significance by combining elements of each of the views.

Testing new ideas regarding the nature of interstellar extinction [PDF]
Canadian journal of physics (Print), 2014 The nature of Galactic interstellar extinction is tested using reddening line parameters for several fields in conjunction with equivalent widths W(λ4430) for the diffuse interstellar band at 4430 Å. The Cardelli et al. relations (Astrophys. J. 345, 245 (

DIBs, interstellar dust, and extinction [PDF]
, 2014 The relationship between DIBs and dust is still unknown. The correlation between reddening and DIB strength means that the DIBs are mixed in with the dust and gas in interstellar clouds. The DIBs are relatively stronger in the diffuse interstellar medium

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.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

»Hope dies – Action begins« [PDF]
, 2019 "Hope dies - action begins" - this is the motto of the new global environmental movement "Extinction Rebellion" (XR). XR wants to make us all aware of finally taking radical measures against the gigantic species extinction and climate catastrophe.
