The origin and evolution of interstellar organics
Over the last decade, we have made great strides in better understanding dust composition and evolution in dense clouds and the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). Thanks to improvements in IR detector sensitivity on ground-based telescopes and the Spitzer Space Telescope mission, we are no longer limited to a handful of bright background stars in order to study dust composition in quiescent den...
متن کاملPrecursors to Interstellar Shocks of Solar Origin
On or about 2012 August 25, the Voyager 1 spacecraft crossed the heliopause into the nearby interstellar plasma. In the nearly three years that the spacecraft has been in interstellar space, three notable particle and field disturbances have been observed, each apparently associated with a shock wave propagating outward from the Sun. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the third and most im...
متن کاملInterlopers within Asteroid Families
A statistical method for the evaluation of the probable amount of interlopers included in the most recently identi ed asteroid families is developed. The method is based on the analysis of the local properties of the asteroidal distribution in the zones of the proper element space in which families are located. An application to the most important families listed by Zappal a et al. [1995, Icaru...
متن کاملOrigin and Evolution of Dust in Circumstellar and Interstellar Environments
Astronomical observations and analysis of stardust isolated from meteorites have revealed a highly diverse interstellar and circumstellar grain inventory, including both amorphous materials and highly crystalline compounds (oxides, silicates and carbonaceous). This dust is highly processed during its sojourn from its birthsite (stellar outflows and supernova explosions) to its incorporation int...
متن کاملOutsiders, Interlopers, and Employee-Identified Avatars
In this paper, we investigate the notions of belonging and community in 3D virtual worlds, and identify the ways in which “belonging” and “not belonging” are constructed and perceived, especially in relation to so-called employee avatars (i.e., avatars that are representative of those who appear in their capacity of corporate employees). We explore the dimension of stigma and discuss the utilit...
