Tidal Disruption of “Snow Clouds” by Unassociated Stars

The Astrophysical Journal
It has been suggested that star-forming galaxies may host a substantial, dark reservoir of gas in the form of planetary-mass molecular clouds that are so cold that H _2 can condense.

MODELING JET INTERACTIONS WITH THE AMBIENT MEDIUM

Acta Polytechnica, 2013
Recent high-resolution (see, e.g., [13]) observations of astrophysical jets reveal complex structures apparently caused by ejecta from the central engine as the ejecta interact with the surrounding interstellar material.

A Simultaneous Dual-frequency Scintillation Arc Survey of Six Bright Canonical Pulsars Using the Upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope

The Astrophysical Journal
We use the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) to measure scintillation arc properties in six bright canonical pulsars with simultaneous dual-frequency coverage.

Dispersion relation for dust charge fluctuations of multi-ion dusty plasma [PDF]

AIP Advances
In this paper, we show that dust particles embedded in plasmas may show charge variations in response to fluctuations in the oscillatory currents of the plasma species.

The X-ray spectrum of a hot interstellar plasma

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1981
The soft X-ray spectrum of a hot, low density, optically thin plasma in collisional ionization equilibrium is calculated using current atomic data. Many Fe collision strengths differ from previous calculations. The spectra from individual elements are presented for use in abundance determinations from X-ray observations.

Production and Loss Processes of Hydrogen Energetic Neutral Atoms in the Heliosphere from 5 eV–500 keV

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Energetic neutral atom (ENA) observations provide valuable insights into the plasma conditions in the heliosphere and the surrounding interstellar medium.

Loop I/NPS Morphology Predictions in the Ultralong-wavelength Band

The Astrophysical Journal
Loop I/North Polar Spur (NPS) is the giant arc structure above the Galactic plane observed at radio wavelengths (≲10 GHz). There has been long-standing debate about its origin. While many people believe that it consists of nearby supernova remnants (SNRs)

Pulsar scintillation studies with LOFAR

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The interstellar scintillation observed in radio pulsars arises from interference between electromagnetic waves scattered by electron density fluctuations in the turbulent interstellar plasma, providing a critical tool for probing the small ...

Energy Cascade and Damping in Fast-mode Compressible Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Compressible turbulence governs energy transfer across scales in space and astrophysical systems. Capturing both the turbulence cascade and damping is therefore crucial for models of energy conversion, plasma heating, and particle transport in diverse ...

Two‐dimensional Magnetohydrodynamics and Interstellar Plasma Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal, 1999
This paper is concerned with a physical understanding of the main features of interstellar plasma turbulence. Our observational knowledge of this turbulence is provided by radio-wave propagation observations, generically referred to as interstellar scintillations.
