How catching the interstellar wind in the inner solar system led the way on a road to interdisciplinary research between heliophysics and astrophysics

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
Combined in situ observations of the interstellar wind through the solar system and of its pickup ions (PUIs), implanted after ionization in the solar wind, explain, in comparison with interstellar absorption lines of nearby stars, that the Sun is in an ...

Dust evolution, a global view I. Nanoparticles, nascence, nitrogen and natural selection … joining the dots [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
The role and importance of nanoparticles for interstellar chemistry and beyond is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS), focusing on their active surface chemistry, the effects of ...

The quest of chirality in the interstellar medium

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context. All but one complex organic molecule (COM) detected so far in the interstellar medium (ISM) are achiral; propylene oxide (c-C2H3O)-CH3 is the only exception to this.

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.

The Turbulent Interstellar Medium [PDF]

, 2006
An overview is presented of the main properties of the interstellar medium. Evidence is summarized that the interstellar medium is highly turbulent, driven on different length scales by various energetic processes.

IMAGINE: a comprehensive view of the interstellar medium, Galactic magnetic fields and cosmic rays [PDF]

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2018
In this white paper we introduce the IMAGINE Consortium and its scientific background, goals and structure. The purpose of the consortium is to coordinate and facilitate the efforts of a diverse group of researchers in the broad areas of the interstellar

Rubidium in the Interstellar Medium [PDF]

, 2009
We present observations of interstellar rubidium toward o Per, zeta Per, AE Aur, HD 147889, chi Oph, zeta Oph, and 20 Aql. Theory suggests that stable 85Rb and long-lived 87Rb are produced predominantly by high-mass stars, through a combination of the ...

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 ...

The Star Formation Rate in the Gravoturbulent Interstellar Medium [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2018
Stars form in supersonic turbulent molecular clouds that are self-gravitating. We present an analytic determination of the star formation rate (SFR) in a gravoturbulent medium based on the density probability distribution function of molecular clouds ...
