Heating of the low-latitude solar wind by dissipation of turbulent magnetic fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We test a theory presented previously to account for the turbulent transport of magnetic fluctuation energy in the solar wind and the related dissipation and heating of the ambient ion population. This theory accounts for the injection of magnetic energy

Interstellar Travel and Traversable Wormholes

open access: yes, 2014
Sending Starships into deep space is a dream that human being has begun to consider when the first flight had success. Since then a lot of progress has been done but without breaking the ultimate barrier we have to pass: the speed of light.

Navigational Feasibility of Flyby / Impact Missions to Interstellar Objects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In October 2017, the first interstellar object, designated 1I/2017 U1 and more commonly referred to as Oumuamua, was detected passing through our solar system by the Pan-STARRS telescope, followed recently by the detection of 2I/Borisov in August 2019 ...

Combining magnetic and electric sails for interstellar deceleration

open access: yes, 2016
International audienceThe main benefit of an interstellar mission is to carry out in-situ measurements within a target star system. To allow for extended in-situ measurements, the spacecraft needs to be decelerated.

He Awa Whiria: The Tidal Streams of Interstellar Objects

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Upcoming surveys are likely to discover a new sample of interstellar objects (ISOs) within the solar system, but questions remain about the origin and distribution of this population within the Galaxy.

New Candidate Massive Clusters from 2MASS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Massive stars are important for the evolution of the interstellar medium. The detailed study of their properties (such as mass loss, rotation, magnetic fields) is enormously facilitated by samples of these objects in young massive galactic star clusters.

A Catalogue of Interstellar Material Delivery from Nearby Debris Disks

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We modeled the trajectories of material ejected from 20 nearby debris disk stars, including ϵ Eridani (Ran), Vega, Fomalhaut, and β Pictoris, within a simulated Milky Way potential in order to quantify their contribution to the population of interstellar

On the dynamical history of the interstellar object 'Oumuamua?

open access: yes, 2017
1I/2017 U1 'Oumuamua is the first interstellar object recorded inside the Solar System. We try to answer the main question: where does it come from? To this aim we searched for close encounters between 'Oumuamua and all nearby stars with known kinematic data during their past motion.We had checked over 200 thousand stars and found just a handful of ...

The Cosmic Sulfur Depletion Problem Extends to Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Constraining the sulfur reservoirs of interstellar objects provides essential clues to the nature of sulfur species in protoplanetary disks and interstellar molecular clouds and a potential solution to the cosmic sulfur depletion problem. Observations of
