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

A non-energetic mechanism for glycine formation in the interstellar medium [PDF]
, 2020 The detection of the amino acid glycine and its amine precursor methylamine on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the Rosetta mission provides strong evidence for a cosmic origin of amino acids on Earth.

Voyager Observations of Electron Densities in the Very Local Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The two Voyager spacecraft have now been immersed in the very local interstellar medium for several years. Both spacecraft carry a plasma wave instrument capable of detecting plasma waves that yield electron density through the determination of the ...

Magnetic Turbulence Spectra and Intermittency in the Heliosheath and in the Local Interstellar Medium [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 The understanding of inertial-scale dynamics in the heliosheath is not yet thorough. Magnetic field fluctuations across the inner heliosheath (IHS) and the local interstellar medium (LISM) are here considered to provide accurate and highly resolved ...

Determination of interstellar pickup ion distributions in the solar wind with SOHO and Cluster [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 Over the last 10 years, the experimental basis for the study of the local interstellar medium has been substantially enhanced by the direct detection of interstellar pickup ions and of interstellar neutral helium within the heliosphere.
