DOI: 10.1038/s41550-019-0929-2
Abstract: The solar wind blows outwards from the Sun and forms a bubble of solar material in the interstellar medium. The heliopause (HP) is the boundary that divides the hot tenuous solar wind plasma in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41550-020-1126-z
Abstract: The density structure of the interstellar medium determines where stars form and release energy, momentum and heavy elements, driving galaxy evolution 1 – 4 . Density variations are seeded and amplified by gas motion, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03780-0
Abstract: The interstellar medium (ISM) comprises gases at different temperatures and densities, including ionized, atomic and molecular species, and dust particles1. The neutral ISM is dominated by neutral hydrogen2 and has ionization fractions of up to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d2ra04351c
Abstract: The literature is still poor in theoretical and experimental, including both spectroscopic and thermodynamic data for protonated furan and protonated 2-cyanofuran and 3-cyanofuran (FH+, 2CFH+ and 3CFH+). These data are, however, crucial for astrophysicists and… read more here.
