Astronomers have developed a groundbreaking computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) -- the vast ocean of gas and charged ...

NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer, known as IBEX, has spent more than a decade mapping an invisible structure of magnetic fields and charged particles that envelops the solar system far beyond ...

The solar system drifts inside an immense, low-density cavity known as the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). This region, spanning at ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) form an integral part of the interstellar medium, underpinning many of the unidentified infrared emission features observed throughout the Universe. Comprised ...

Research on heliospheric physics and interstellar medium dynamics has advanced our understanding of the complex interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar environment. The heliosphere – a ...

This chapter summarizes the community’s basic understanding of the physics of the outer heliosphere, focusing on the influence exerted on the solar wind by the interstellar medium (Box 2.1). In ...
