CLASSY. VIII. Exploring the Source of Ionization with UV Interstellar Medium Diagnostics in Local High-z Analogs
Adèle Marie Françoise Plat, Xinfeng Xu
In the current JWST era, rest-frame UV spectra play a crucial role in enhancing our understanding of the interstellar medium (ISM) and stellar properties of the first galaxies in the epoch of reionization (z > 6). Here, we compare well-known and reliable o ...
Bristol2024Small-scale dynamo with finite correlation times
Fluctuation dynamos occur in most turbulent plasmas in astrophysics and are the prime candidates for amplifying and maintaining cosmic magnetic fields. A few analytical models exist to describe their behavior, but they are based on simplifying assumptions. ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2023The PHANGS-JWST Treasury Survey: Star Formation, Feedback, and Dust Physics at High Angular Resolution in Nearby GalaxieS
Robin Gopala Tress, Jing Li, Guillaume Blanc, Jiayi Sun, Hamid Hassani, Francesco Santoro
The PHANGS collaboration has been building a reference data set for the multiscale, multiphase study of star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxies. With the successful launch and commissioning of JWST, we can now obtain high-resolu ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862nm
Context. Di ffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to t ...
2023Hint for a TeV neutrino emission from the Galactic Ridge with ANTARES
Javier García Hernández, Randoald Müller
Interactions of cosmic ray protons, atomic nuclei, and electrons in the interstellar medium in the inner part of the Milky Way produce γ-ray flux from the Galactic Ridge. If the γ-ray emission is dominated by proton and nuclei interactions, a neutrino flux ...
2023Observational signatures of galactic turbulent dynamos
We analyse the observational signatures of galactic magnetic fields that are self-consistently generated in magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interstellar medium through turbulence driven by supernova (SN) explosions and differential rotation. In part ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Design of an intake and a thruster for an atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion system
Francesco Romano, Thomas Binderup Jensen
Challenging space missions include those at very low altitudes, where the atmosphere is the source of aerodynamic drag on the spacecraft, that finally defines the mission's lifetime, unless a way to compensate for it is provided. This environment is named ...
2022Characterizing human mobility patterns in rural settings of sub-Saharan Africa
Andrea Rinaldo, Theophile Mande, Francisco Javier Perez Saez
Human mobility is a core component of human behavior and its quantification is critical for understanding its impact on infectious disease transmission, traffic forecasting, access to resources and care, intervention strategies, and migratory flows. When m ...
eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD2021Feasibility of Detecting Interstellar Panspermia in Astrophysical Environments
The proposition that life can spread from one planetary system to another (interstellar panspermia) has a long history, but this hypothesis is difficult to test through observations. We develop a mathematical model that takes parameters such as the microbi ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021A Fast Ion Loss Detector for the TCV Tokamak
A Fast Ion Loss Detector (FILD) was designed, assembled, installed and commissioned for TCV. This is a radially positionable, scintillator based detector that provides information on the 2D fast-ion velocity space lost at the probe's location. The collecte ...
