Interaction between massive star winds and the interstellar medium

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2021
AbstractMassive stars drive strong winds that impact the surrounding interstellar medium, producing parsec-scale bubbles for isolated stars and superbubbles around young clusters. These bubbles can be observed across the electromagnetic spectrum, both the wind itself and the swept up interstellar gas.

The density distribution and 58.4 nm radiation intensity of interstellar helium in the heliosphere: a model simulation

Earth and Planetary Physics
Research on the interstellar medium and its interaction with the solar system constitutes a significant topic in planetary physics. As the Sun traverses the local interstellar cloud, interstellar neutrals penetrate the heliosphere, forming the ...

Chemical Kinetics of 2‐, 4‐, and 2,4‐Seleno‐Uracils at Low Temperatures: Tautomerizations and Rotamerizations on Inert Matrices

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the interstellar medium, chemical reactions proceed under conditions vastly different to those on Earth; these include extremely low temperatures and densities and take place in the gas phase and on water–ice grains. Understanding the energetics and more importantly the kinetics of such reactions is of relevance to the consequences on how ...

Size Matters: Barrier Heights and Widths in the Kinetics Of Tautomerisation and Rotamerisation of Thiotropolone and Its Five‐ and Three‐Membered Cyclic Analogues

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent experiments by Nunes et al. have demonstrated that unprecedented control of chemical reactions is possible by narrowband infrared vibrational photo‐excitation at low temperatures in inert matrices. The generated higher energy level conformers may then undergo rotamerisation and tautomerisation reactions which provide extremely useful ...

Density Spectrum in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium and Solar Wind

The Astrophysical Journal, 2004
Inertial range turbulence properties are investigated for nearly incompressible density fluctuations using two-dimensional nonlinear fluid simulations. We find that density fluctuations behave as a passive scalar and do not satisfy the pseudosound approximation.

Cis–Trans Rotational Isomerism of Formic Acid, Sulfur, and Selenium Analogues and Their Dimers: Chemical Kinetics Under Interstellar Conditions

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present chemical kinetic rate constants for the cis to trans isomerisation or rotamerization of monomeric seleno‐, thio‐, and formic acids and that of three of their dimeric species, based on variational transition state theory and multidimensional tunneling calculations in the gas‐phase, from 10 K to 300 K. These provide, firstly, reliable

The Passage of the Solar System through the Edge of the Local Bubble

The Astrophysical Journal
The Sun moves through the interstellar medium (ISM) at a velocity of ∼19 pc Myr ^−1 , making the conditions outside the solar system vary with time over millions of years.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Accelerated Discovery‐to‐Unveiling of High‐Performance and Affordable Ammonia Electrode Process by Human–Machine Collaboration Framework

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 25, 15 June 2026.
By employing dimensionally reduced reaction descriptors, a human–machine collaboration framework for efficient electrochemical nitrate reduction to NH3 electrocatalysts screening is established and drastically shorten the discovery timeframe. A new kinetic model is established in combination with a rotating ring‐disk electrode, unveiling the pivotal ...
