Our members are working to understand how different physical effects manifest in our observations, what discrete structures exist in the interstellar medium, and what the turbulent nature of the ...

What’s more, Webb used its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument to observe glowing interstellar gas and dust illuminated ...

That's less than 1% of a light-year. "We did not know that the interstellar medium had structures on that small of a scale, let alone that it was sheet-like," says Josh Peek, a member of the Webb ...

The observations from the JWST allowed astronomers to map the three-dimensional structure of the interstellar medium for the first time. This ability opens up opportunities to study the true 3D ...

"We think every dense, dusty region that we see, and most of the ones we don't see, look like this on the inside — we just have never been able to look inside them before." ...

This introduction to the spectroscopy, mainly by radio astronomy, of interstellar molecules was written five years before the discovery of C60. It covers an introduction to interstellar medium and ...

Pulsar timing is also used to study spatial and temporal variations within the turbulent interstellar medium, spiral-arm structure of the Milky Way, and pulsar emission mechanism physics. Utilizing ...

Could our solar system have been temporarily exposed to an enhanced flux of cosmic-rays at some point in the ancient past?

Ramjets propel spacecraft by compressing hydrogen gas collected from the interstellar medium, with energy supplied by a laser beam transmitted from a distant source. In contrast, laser sails use ...

Using infrared technology, the telescope captured a light echo caused by a massive star’s explosion, unveiling new insights into the interstellar medium and its magnetic structures. This ...
