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 ...

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.

On Graphene in the Interstellar Medium [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract The possible detection of C24, a planar graphene that was recently reported to be in several planetary nebulae by García-Hernández et al., inspires us to explore whether and how much graphene could exist in the interstellar medium (ISM) and how it would reveal its presence through its ultraviolet (UV) extinction and infrared (IR)

Phosphorus in the diffuse interstellar medium [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2005 We present FUSE and HST/STIS measurements of the PII column density toward Galactic stars. We analyzed PII through the profile fitting of the unsaturated $ $1125 and $ $1533 lines and derived column densities integrated along the sightlines as well as in individual resolved components.

Supernovae Origin for the Low-latitude Intermediate-velocity Arch and the North Celestial Pole Loop
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Supernova explosions attributed to the unseen companion in several binary systems identified by the Third Gaia Data Release (Gaia DR3) may be responsible for a number of well-known and well-studied features in the radio sky, including the low-latitude ...
