The Astrophysical JournalThe chemistry within the interstellar medium (ISM) is notably influenced by the interplay between kinetics and photochemical processes, which play significant roles in both the formation and destruction of molecular species.

Equation of motion of an interstellar Bussard ramjet with radiation and mass losses
, 2007 An interstellar Bussard ramjet is a spaceship using the protons of the interstellar medium in a fusion engine to produce thrust. In recent papers, it was shown that the relativistic equation of motion of an ideal ramjet and of a ramjet with radiation ...

Approximation of Daily AMS‐02 Spectra With Machine Learning Methods
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract Almost three thousand daily AMS‐02 proton spectra from 2011 to 2019 offer the most precise and extensive data set of cosmic ray spectra covering a wide energy range. As such, they offer a unique opportunity to test machine learning algorithms for approximating cosmic ray proton spectra based on the inputs usually available to solar modulation ...

A Nest of Diffuse Interstellar Bands—Likely of Common Origin
The Astronomical JournalDiffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been proposed to cluster into distinct “families” each potentially linked to a single carrier molecule. In our study, we focus on identifying such a family within the spectral range of approximately 4945–4990 Å ...

, 2002 In this paper, we study heliospheric Ly-$\alpha$ absorption toward nearby stars in different lines of sight. We use the Baranov-Malama model of the solar wind interaction with a two-component (charged component and H atoms) interstellar medium ...

A translated utopia: Embodied communication, media ideologies, and Star Trek's Universal Translator
Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 35, Issue 3, December 2025.Abstract This paper uses Star Trek's “Universal Translator” (UT) as a point of departure for considering the imagined future of mediated linguistic interactions and of contact across difference. Although such a technology does not exist, taking its potentialities seriously as folkloric devices allows for an exploration of ideologies relating to ...

The presence of dust in the general interstellar medium is inferred from the extinction, polarization, and scattering of starlight; the presence of dark nebulae; interstellar depletions; the observed infrared emission around certain stars and various ...

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty
Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 1093-1125, December 2025.Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

Visionaries and Crackpots, Maniacs and Saints: Existential Risk and the Politics of Longtermism
Ratio, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 268-278, December 2025.ABSTRACT Despite advancing strong claims about our collective priorities, longtermism has received little attention in debates in political philosophy. I first provide an account of longtermism that highlights the way it departs from established work on intergenerational justice.
