Discovery and Initial Investigation of a New Low Surface Brightness Planetary Nebula Candidate at High Galactic Latitude

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Planetary nebulae represent a late evolutionary phase of low‐ to intermediate‐mass stars. In this article, we present the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown, faint potential Galactic planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Camelopardalis, identified during a survey‐inspection, aiming at the detection of dwarf companions of the ...

A Numerical Model for the Dynamics of Pickup Ions Outside the Heliopause and IBEX “Ribbon” Observation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The leading mechanism for the origin of the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) “ribbon” of enhanced energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) from the outer heliosphere is the so-called secondary ENA process.

Interstellar Scintillations of Polarization of Compact Sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We demostrate that the measurement of fluctuations of polarization due to the galactic interstellar scintillations may be used to study the structure of the radiation field at compact radio sources.

Detection of scattering in the 2175 A interstellar band

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1986
Spectrophotometric observations of two reflection nebulae and their illuminating stars obtained with the International Ultraviolet Explorer Satellite have provided the first evidence for the presence of a scattering contribution to the 2175 A interstellar extinction band.

Characterizing the Signals and Backgrounds in a Low Earth Orbiting Cherenkov Detector, and Background Mitigation Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Cherenkov detectors have been used in space for decades to measure Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs), Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) and trapped particles. We present proof‐of‐concept GRAS/Geant4 simulations to both show that a cubic fused silica Cherenkov detector with SiPM in LEO has a good sensitivity to SEP and GCR protons as a function of cut‐

The NANOGrav 12.5 yr Data Set: Probing Interstellar Turbulence and Precision Pulsar Timing with PSR J1903+0327

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Free electrons in the interstellar medium refract and diffract radio waves along multiple paths, resulting in angular and temporal broadening of radio pulses that limits pulsar timing precision.

Low-frequency Waves Due to Newborn Interstellar Pickup Ions Observed from 43 to 47 au by the Voyager 1 Spacecraft

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Interstellar neutral atoms enter the heliosphere at a relatively slow speed corresponding to the motion of the Sun through the local interstellar medium, which is approximately 25 km s ^−1 .

Interpretation of the UV spectrum of some stars with little reddening

open access: yes, 2000
The spectrum of five stars is analysed and explained by the superimposition of two components. One is the extinction of the direct starlight, with an extinction coefficient A which varies as the inverse of the wavelength across all the UV.

SCATTER BROADENING OF PULSARS AND IMPLICATIONS ON THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM TURBULENCE [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2017
ABSTRACT Observations reveal a uniform Kolmogorov turbulence throughout the diffuse ionized interstellar medium (ISM) and supersonic turbulence preferentially located in the Galactic plane. Correspondingly, we consider the Galactic distribution of electron density fluctuations consisting of not only a Kolmogorov density spectrum but also
