The interstellar medium surrounding the Sun

PC Frisch, S Redfield, JD Slavin - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
The Solar System is embedded in a flow of low-density, warm, and partially ionized
interstellar material that has been sampled directly by in situ measurements of interstellar …

Dust metamorphosis in the galaxy

J Dorschner, T Henning - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 1995 - Springer
Cosmic dust grains play an important role for the thermal, dynamical, and chemical structure
of the interstellar medium. This is especially true for the star formation process and the late …

Measured mass-loss rates of solar-like stars as a function of age and activity

BE Wood, HR Müller, GP Zank… - The Astrophysical …, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
Collisions between the winds of solar-like stars and the local interstellar medium result in a
population of hot hydrogen gas surrounding these stars. Absorption from this hot HI can be …

The structure of the local interstellar medium. IV. Dynamics, morphology, physical properties, and implications of cloud-cloud interactions

S Redfield, JL Linsky - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an empirical dynamical model of the LISM based on 270 radial velocity
measurements for 157 sight lines toward nearby stars. Physical parameter measurements …

New mass-loss measurements from astrospheric Lyα absorption

BE Wood, HR Müller, GP Zank, JL Linsky… - The Astrophysical …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
Measurements of stellar mass-loss rates are used to assess how wind strength varies with
coronal activity and age for solar-like stars. Mass loss generally increases with activity, but …

Deflection of the interstellar neutral hydrogen flow across the heliospheric interface

R Lallement, E Quémerais, JL Bertaux, S Ferron… - Science, 2005 - science.org
Using an absorption cell, we measured the Doppler shifts of the interstellar hydrogen
resonance glow to show the direction of the neutral hydrogen flow as it enters the inner …

Local interstellar medium: six years of direct sampling by IBEX

DJ McComas, M Bzowski, SA Fuselier… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has been directly observing neutral
atoms from the local interstellar medium for the last six years (2009–2014). This paper ties …

[HTML][HTML] Interstellar dust in the heliosphere

E Grün, B Gustafson, I Mann, M Baguhl… - … , Vol. 286, p. 915 …, 1994 - adsabs.harvard.edu
Interstellar dust in the heliosphere ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely retired in
October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that point …

The Alpha Centauri line of sight: D/H ratio, physical properties of local interstellar gas, and measurement of heated hydrogen (the'hydrogen wall') near the heliopause

JL Linsky, BE Wood - Astrophysical Journal, 1996 - ntrs.nasa.gov
We analyze high-resolution spectra of the nearby (1.34 pc) stars alpha Cen A (G2 V) and
alpha Cen B (K1 V), which were obtained with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph …

Interstellar gas flow parameters derived from Interstellar Boundary Explorer-Lo observations in 2009 and 2010: Analytical analysis

E Möbius, P Bochsler, M Bzowski… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Neutral atom imaging of the interstellar gas flow in the inner heliosphere provides the most
detailed information on physical conditions of the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) and …
