Interstellar Dust and Gas in the Heliosphere
arXiv:2007.07113 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/1620/1/012019
Abstract
Interstellar dust and gas that enter the heliosphere provide us with important clues about both the heliosphere and the local interstellar medium (LISM). The picture we have of the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC) from both \emph{in situ} detections and absorption line data presents questions that have important implications for the origins and evolution of the cloud. New detections of Fe on Earth in deep sea crusts and Antarctic snow cores provide evidence for the role of supernovae in shaping the LISM. We discuss our models for the evolution of the LIC inside the Local Bubble and possible explanations for the source of the supernova produced dust.
