Mixing Interstellar Clouds Surrounding the Sun
Paweł Swaczyna, Nathan A. Schwadron, Eberhard Möbius +9
On its journey through the Galaxy, the Sun passes through diverse regions of the interstellar medium. High-resolution spectroscopic measurements of interstellar absorption lines in…
High-precision polarimetry of nearby stars (d<50 pc) Mapping the interstellar dust and magnetic field inside the Local Bubble
V. Piirola, A. Berdyugin, P. C. Frisch +6
We investigate the linear polarization produced by interstellar dust aligned by the magnetic field in the solar neighborhood (d< 50 pc). We also look for intrinsic effects from cir…
Near-Earth Supernova Explosions: Evidence, Implications, and Opportunities
Brian D. Fields, John R. Ellis, Walter R. Binns +36
There is now solid experimental evidence of at least one supernova explosion within 100 pc of Earth within the last few million years, from measurements of the short-lived isotope…
The wavelength dependence of interstellar polarization in the Local Hot Bubble
Daniel V. Cotton, Jonathan P. Marshall, Priscilla C. Frisch +6
The properties of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) nearest the Sun are poorly understood because the low column densities of dust toward nearby stars induce little photometric…
Effect of Supernovae on the Local Interstellar Material
Priscilla Frisch, Vikram V. Dwarkadas
A range of astronomical data indicates that ancient supernovae created the galactic environment of the Sun and sculpted the physical properties of the interstellar medium near the…
Charting the Interstellar Magnetic Field causing the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) Ribbon of Energetic Neutral Atoms
P. C. Frisch, A. Berdyugin, V. Piirola +10
The interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the heliosphere is a basic part of the solar neighborhood that can only be studied using polarized starlight. Results of an ongoing surv…
