Interstellar Dust Transport Through the Heliosphere Including the Sector Region
Jonathan D. Slavin, Marc Kornbleuth, Merav Opher +1
Interstellar dust has been detected in situ flowing through the heliosphere. However, our ability to derive the density and size distribution of the interstellar dust in the local…
Infrared Ejecta and Cold Dust in the Young Supernova Remnant N132D
Jeonghee Rho, Aravind P. Ravi, Jonathan D. Slavin +1
We present Spitzer, WISE, and Herschel observations of the young supernova remnant (SNR) N132D in the LMC, including 3-40 microns Spitzer IRS mapping, 12 microns WISE and 70, 100,…
Turbulence and Particle Acceleration in Radiative Shock Waves in the Cygnus Loop II: Development of Postshock Turbulence
John C. Raymond, Jonathan D. Slavin, William P. Blair +3
Radiative shock waves in the Cygnus Loop and other supernova remnants show different morphologies in [O III] and Hα emission. We use HST spectra and narrowband images to study the…
Interstellar Dust and Gas in the Heliosphere
Jonathan D. Slavin
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…
Dust Destruction by the Reverse Shock in the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant
Elisabetta R. Micelotta, Eli Dwek, Jonathan D. Slavin
Core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are important sources of interstellar dust, potentially capable of producing one solar mass of dust in their explosively expelled ejecta. However,…
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…
Evidence for an interstellar dust filament in the outer heliosheath
P. C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, A. Berdyugin +8
A recently discovered filament of polarized starlight that traces a coherent magnetic field is shown to have several properties that are consistent with an origin in the outer heli…
Destruction of Interstellar Dust in Evolving Supernova Remnant Shock Waves
Jonathan D. Slavin, Eli Dwek, Anthony P. Jones
Supernova generated shock waves are responsible for most of the destruction of dust grains in the interstellar medium (ISM). Calculations of the dust destruction timescale have so…
IBEX, SWCX and a Consistent Model for the Local ISM
Jonathan D. Slavin
The Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) makes its presence felt in the heliosphere in a number of ways including inflowing neutral atoms and dust and shaping of the heliosphere via it…
The Interstellar Magnetic Field Close to the Sun II
P. C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, A. Berdyugin +9
A key indicator of the galactic environment of the Sun is provided by the magnetic field in the interstellar medium (ISM), which influences the shape of the heliosphere. The direct…
Interstellar Dust Close to the Sun
Priscilla C. Frisch, Jonathan D. Slavin
The low density interstellar medium (ISM) close to the Sun and inside of the heliosphere provides a unique laboratory for studying interstellar dust grains. Grain characteristics i…
Comparisons of the Interstellar Magnetic Field Directions obtained from the IBEX Ribbon and Interstellar Polarizations
Priscilla C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, Andrei Berdyugin +7
Variations in the spatial configuration of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the Sun can be constrained by comparing the ISMF direction at the heliosphere found from the…
VLT/FLAMES-ARGUS observations of stellar wind--ISM cloud interactions in NGC 6357
M. S. Westmoquette, J. D. Slavin, L. J. Smith +1
We present optical/near-IR IFU observations of a gas pillar in the Galactic HII region NGC 6357 containing the young open star cluster Pismis 24. These observations have allowed us…
Dust Formation in the young core-collapse supernova remnant E0102
J. Rho, W. T. Reach, A. Tappe +4
We present Spitzer IRS and IRAC observations of the young supernova remnant E0102 (SNR 1E0102.2-7219) in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The infrared spectra show strong ejecta lines o…
The warm ionized medium in spiral galaxies
L. M. Haffner, R. -J. Dettmar, J. E. Beckman +6
This article reviews observations and models of the diffuse ionized gas that permeates the disk and halo of our Galaxy and others. It was inspired by a series of invited talks pres…
