Plasma turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, vol. 62, issue 1, p. 014014 (2020), 2019
The interstellar medium is a multi-phase, magnetized, and highly turbulent medium. In this paper, we address both theoretical and observational aspects of plasma turbulence in the interstellar medium. We successively consider radio wave propagation through a plasma and radio polarized emission.

The Interstellar Environment of our Galaxy [PDF]

Rev.Mod.Phys.73:1031-1066,2001, 2001
We review the current knowledge and understanding of the interstellar medium of our galaxy. We first present each of the three basic constituents - ordinary matter, cosmic rays, and magnetic fields - of the interstellar medium, laying emphasis on their physical and chemical properties inferred from a broad range of observations.

Detection of Buckminsterfullerene emission in the diffuse interstellar medium. [PDF]

Astron Astrophys, 2017
Emission of fullerenes in their infrared vibrational bands has been detected in space near hot stars. The proposed attribution of the diffuse interstellar bands at 9577 and 9632 Å to electronic transitions of the buckminsterfullerene cation (i.e ...

GALACTIC COSMIC RAYS IN THE LOCAL INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM: VOYAGER 1 OBSERVATIONS AND MODEL RESULTS. [PDF]

Astrophys J, 2016
Since 2012 August Voyager 1 has been observing the local interstellar energy spectra of Galactic cosmic-ray nuclei down to 3 MeV nuc−1 and electrons down to 2.7 MeV. The H and He spectra have the same energy dependence between 3 and 346 MeV nuc−1, with a

Top-down formation of fullerenes in the interstellar medium. [PDF]

Astron Astrophys, 2015
Fullerenes have been recently detected in various circumstellar and interstellar environments, raising the question of their formation pathway. It has been proposed that they can form at the low densities found in the interstellar medium by the photo ...

Linear or Cyclic? Theoretical Investigation of Astrophysically Relevant Magnesium-Bearing MgC_nH Carbon Chains and Related Isomers. [PDF]

J Comput Chem
The global minimum energy structure of astrophysically relevant MgCnH systems is linear when n is even, and cyclic when n is odd. ABSTRACT Magnesium‐containing molecules, including MgC2H, MgC4H, and MgC6H, have been detected in the interstellar medium, largely facilitated by their high dipole moments.

Physical Processes in the Interstellar Medium [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Interstellar space is filled with a dilute mixture of charged particles, atoms, molecules and dust grains, called the interstellar medium (ISM). Understanding its physical properties and dynamical behavior is of pivotal importance to many areas of astronomy and astrophysics. Galaxy formation and evolution, the formation of stars, cosmic nucleosynthesis,

The Cold Interstellar Medium of Galaxies in the Local Universe [PDF]

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2022
The cold interstellar medium (ISM) plays a central role in the galaxy evolution process. It is the reservoir that fuels galaxy growth via star formation, the repository of material formed by these stars, and a sensitive tracer of internal and external ...

The Evolution of the Star-Forming Interstellar Medium Across Cosmic Time [PDF]

, 2020
Over the past decade increasingly robust estimates of the dense molecular gas content in galaxy populations between redshift 0 and the peak of cosmic galaxy/star formation from redshift 1-3 have become available. This rapid progress has been possible due
