Dust Plasma Analogue for Interstellar 217.5 nm Extinction [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2008
The new ultraviolet (UV) extinction measurements of carbonaceous nanoparticles in the range from 140 nm to 260 nm are presented. The plasma polymerized hydrocarbon nanoparticles were already proposed as a new astro analogue, which describe the infrared (

A future interstellar probe on the dynamic heliosphere and its interaction with the very local interstellar medium: In-situ particle and fields measurements and remotely sensed ENAs

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
The recently published Interstellar Probe (ISP) study report describes a pragmatic mission concept with a launch window that starts in 2036 and is expected to reach several hundreds of astronomical units past the heliopause within a time frame of ≥50 ...

Continuous solutions of cosmic-rays and waves in astrophysical environments

Scientific Reports, 2023
The propagation of energetic charged particles and cosmic rays in magnetized thermal plasma is focused. We consider a four-fluid system that consists of thermal plasma, cosmic rays, and two opposite propagating Alfvén waves to investigate the dynamics ...

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 ...

Propagation of large-scale solar wind events in the outer heliosphere from a numerical MHD simulation

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2021
Voyager 1 occasionally detected sudden jumps of the local interstellar magnetic field strength since its heliopause crossing in August 2012. These events were believed to be associated with outward propagating solar wind shocks originating in the inner ...

Interstellar Conditions Deduced from Interstellar Neutral Helium Observed by IBEX and Global Heliosphere Modeling

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In situ observations of interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms by the IBEX-Lo instrument on board the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission are used to determine the velocity and temperature of the pristine very local interstellar medium (VLISM).

What is the heliopause? Importance of magnetic reconnection and measurement requirements

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
We highlight the importance of magnetic reconnection at the heliopause, both as one of the key processes driving the interaction between solar and interstellar media, but also as an element of the definition of the heliopause itself.

SCATTERING OF PULSAR RADIO EMISSION BY THE INTERSTELLAR PLASMA [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
We present simulations of scattering phenomena which are important in pulsar observations, but which are analytically intractable. The simulation code, which has also been used for solar wind and atmospheric scattering problems, is available from the authors.

A Mesofractal Model of Interstellar Cloudiness

Universe, 2022
The interstellar medium (ISM), serving as a background for the propagation of cosmic rays (CRs) and other information carriers, has a complex ragged structure.
