ADVECTIVE TRANSPORT OF INTERSTELLAR PLASMA INTO THE HELIOSPHERE ACROSS THE RECONNECTING HELIOPAUSE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 We discuss results of magnetohydrodynamical model simulations of plasma dynamics in the proximity of the heliopause (HP). The model is shown to fit details of the magnetic field variations observed by Voyager 1 spacecraft during the transition from the heliosphere to the local interstellar medium (LISM).

NE2025: An Updated Electron Density Model for the Galactic Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical JournalFree electrons in the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM) disperse and scatter coherent radio waves, by amounts that depend on the distance to the radio source.

Mirror Mode Mediated EMIC Wave Generation in the Magnetosheath
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves and mirror modes (MMs), both driven by ion temperature anisotropy, are commonly observed in planetary magnetosheaths. Conventional explanations for their co‐occurrence are largely based on linear instability theory in proton–electron plasmas, which requires comparable growth rates for the EMIC and MM ...

Anomalous Radio‐Wave Scattering from Interstellar Plasma Structures [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 This paper considers scattering screens that have arbitrary spatial variations of scattering strength transverse to the line of sight, including screens that are spatially well confined, such as disks and filaments. We calculate the scattered image of a point source and the observed pulse shape of a scattered impulse.

Loading Non‐Maxwellian Velocity Distributions in Particle Simulations
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Numerical procedures for generating non‐Maxwellian velocity distributions in particle simulations are presented. First, Monte Carlo methods for the (r,q) $(r,q)$ distribution that generalizes flattop and Kappa distributions are discussed. Then, two rejection methods for the regularized Kappa distribution are presented, followed by a comparison

Plasma Physics of the Very Local Interstellar Medium
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015 Models of the large-scale heliosphere show that the very local interstellar medium (VLISM), bounded by the heliopause and either a bow wave or bow shock, experiences significant heating by the deposition of neutral hydrogen (H) originating from the hot inner heliosheath.

Survival of 2D Turbulence in the Local Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe evolution of 2D turbulence in the partially ionized local interstellar medium is investigated using 2D MHD simulations coupled with a neutral hydrogen gas via charge exchange.

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 241-271, February 2026.Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

Collective Plasma Phenomena and their Role in the Dynamics of the Interstellar Medium [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970 The First Symposium on cosmical gas dynamics clearly demonstrated that magnetic fields play an essential role in the dynamics of the interstellar matter. The Symposium emphasized that the behavior of interstellar gas should be described not by traditional gas dynamics but with the help of magneto-gas dynamics.
