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

Asymptotic Behaviour of Galactic Small-scale Dynamos at Modest Magnetic Prandtl Number
Magnetic fields are critical at many scales to galactic dynamics and structure, including multiphase pressure balance, dust processing, and star formation. Dynamo action determines their dynamical structure and strength.

Ryugu reference project: Recommendations from the measurement definition team
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,

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

The Simons Observatory: Galactic Science Goals and Forecasts
Observing in six frequency bands from 27 to 280 GHz over a large sky area, the Simons Observatory (SO) is poised to address many questions in Galactic astrophysics in addition to its principal cosmological goals.

Abstract Xenon (Xe) is a heavy noble gas with intriguing chemical properties, such as having several stable isotopes and the ability to form compounds under extreme conditions. Despite the predictions based on cosmochemical models that suggest xenon should be relatively abundant in planetary reservoirs, empirical data indicate a significant depletion ...

The investigation of the hierarchical structure of the interstellar magnetic fields [PDF]
A new method of investigation of the hierarchical structure of the interstellar magnetic fields is discussed. Synchrotron intensity fluctuations are used. Statistical characteristics of the irregular magnetic field are available. The method was successfully tested.
