Massive Clusters and OB Associations as Output of Massive Star Formation in <i>Gaia</i> Era by Ignacio Negueruela

“…The emerging view depicts star formation as a hierarchical process, which predominantly occurs along filamentary structures in the interstellar medium. These structures span a wide range of spatial scales, ultimately leading to the birth of young stars, which distribute in small groups, clusters and OB associations. …”

Nonthermal Signatures of Radiative Supernova Remnants. II. The Impact of Cosmic Rays and Magnetic Fields by Rebecca Diesing, Siddhartha Gupta

“…Understanding SNR evolution at this stage is crucial for estimating feedback in galaxies, as SNRs are expected to release energy and momentum into the interstellar medium near the ends of their lives. A standard prediction of SNR evolutionary models is that the onset of the radiative stage precipitates the formation of a dense shell behind the forward shock. …”

Angular Power Spectrum of TeV–PeV Cosmic-Ray Anisotropies by Wenyi Bian, Gwenael Giacinti, Brian Reville

“…Simulations of the cosmic-ray (CR) anisotropy down to TeV energies are presented, using turbulence parameters consistent with those inferred from observations of the interstellar medium. We compute the angular power spectra C _ℓ of the CR anisotropy obtained from the simulations. …”

The Age–Velocity Dispersion Relations of the Galactic Disk as Revealed by the LAMOST-Gaia Red Clump Stars by Weixiang Sun, Han Shen, Biwei Jiang, Xiaowei Liu

“…These results indicate that the thin disk stars are likely heated by long-term heating from giant molecular clouds and spiral arms, while thick disk stars are likely heated by some violent heating process from merger and accretion, and/or formed by the inside-out and upside-down star formation scenarios, and/or born in the chaotic mergers of gas-rich systems and/or turbulent interstellar medium. Our results also suggest that the disk perturbation by a recent minor merger from Sagittarius may have occurred within 3.0 Gyr.…”

Disk in the Circumstellar Envelope of Carbon Mira V Cygni by Boris S. Safonov, Sergey G. Zheltoukhov, Andrey M. Tatarnikov, Ivan A. Strakhov, Victor I. Shenavrin

“…Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are the primary source of dust and complex molecules in the interstellar medium. The determination of outflow parameters is often hindered by the unknown geometry of the circumstellar environment, creating a demand for high-angular resolution observations. …”

Potential Technosignature from Anomalously Low Deuterium/Hydrogen in Planetary Water Depleted by Nuclear Fusion Technology by David C. Catling, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Tyler D. Robinson

“…For an ocean mass and initial deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratio that were Earth-like, fusion power use of only ∼10 times that projected for humankind next century would deplete the D/H ratio in ∼(a few) ×10 ^8 yr to values below that of the local interstellar medium (ISM). Ocean masses of a few percent of Earth’s would reach an anomalously low D/H in ∼10 ^6 –10 ^7 yr. …”

Contribution of Unresolved Sources to Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission from the Galactic Plane by Jiayin He, Houdun Zeng, Yi Zhang, Qiang Yuan, Rui Zhang, Jun Li

“…The flux is higher than predicted for cosmic rays interacting with the interstellar medium. In this work, we utilize a nonparametric method to derive the source count distribution using the published first LHAASO source catalog. …”

Search for Neutrino Signals Correlated with LHAASO Diffuse Galactic Emission by Wenlian Li, Tian-Qi Huang, Donglian Xu, Huihai He

“…The diffuse Galactic γ -ray emission originates from the interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium or radiation fields within our Galaxy, where the production of neutrinos is also anticipated. …”

Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) science: Our Galaxy [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] by Pamela Klaassen, Maria Beltrán, Alessio Traficante, Mark Booth, Kate Pattle, Jonathan Marshall, Joshua Lovell, Brandt Gaches, Alvaro Hacar, Nicolas Peretto, Caroline Bot, Doris Arzoumanian, Thomas Stanke, Gaspard Duchêne, Ana Duarte Cabral, Antonio Hales, David Eden, Patricia Luppe, Jens Kauffmann, Elena Redaelli, Sebastian Marino, Álvaro Sánchez-Monge, Andrew Rigby, Dmitry Semenov, Eugenio Schisano, Mark Thompson, Silvia Spezzano, Claudia Cicone, Friedrich Wyrowski, Martin Cordiner, Tony Mroczkowski, Doug Johnstone, Luca Di Mascolo, Minju Lee, Eelco van Kampen, Thomas Maccarone, Daizhong Liu, Matthew Smith, Amélie Saintonge, Sven Wedemeyer, Alexander Thelen

“…As we learn more about the multi-scale interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, we develop a greater understanding for the complex relationships between the large-scale diffuse gas and dust in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), how it moves, how it is affected by the nearby massive stars, and which portions of those GMCs eventually collapse into star forming regions. …”
