Turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 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 ...

Plasma turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2019 The interstellar medium (ISM) is a multi-phase, magnetized, and highly turbulent medium. In this paper, we address both theoretical and observational aspects of plasma turbulence in the ISM.

SILICATE COMPOSITION OF THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 The composition of silicate dust in the diffuse interstellar medium and in protoplanetary disks around young stars informs our understanding of the processing and evolution of the dust grains leading up to planet formation.

The Interstellar Medium of Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
Galaxies, 2022 Dwarf galaxies are by far the most numerous galaxies in the Universe, showing properties that are quite different from those of their larger and more luminous cousins. This review focuses on the physical and chemical properties of the interstellar medium

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 Astrodust+PAH Model: A Unified Description of the Extinction, Emission, and Polarization from Dust in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We present a new model of interstellar dust in which large grains are a single composite material, “astrodust,” and nanoparticle-sized grains come in distinct varieties including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We argue that a single-composition

Supernovae and the Interstellar Medium [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970 The nature of the supernova event is still poorly understood. A variety of models has been proposed and the interpretation of the observations remains ambiguous. About all that is certain is that in the supernova event much of the matter is ejected at speeds of typically 10 000 km sec−1 and that about 1049 erg of visible light is emitted. The amount of

Precursors of the RNA World in Space: Detection of (Z)-1,2-ethenediol in the Interstellar Medium, a Key Intermediate in Sugar Formation [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 We present the first detection of (Z)-1,2-ethenediol, (CHOH)2, the enol form of glycolaldehyde, in the interstellar medium toward the G+0.693−0.027 molecular cloud located in the Galactic Center.
