On the Anisotropic Velocity Distribution of Newborn Pickup Ions in the Heliosheath

Senbei Du, Merav Opher, Marc Kornbleuth • The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2025)

The evolution of the velocity distribution of pickup ions is crucial for understanding the energetic neutral atom (ENA) fluxes observed by Interstellar Boundary Explorer. Pickup ions in the heliosheath contain two main components: those tra...

FEAST: JWST Uncovers the Emerging Timescales of Young Star Clusters in M83

Alice Knutas, Angela Adamo, Alex Pedrini, Sean T. Linden et al. • The Astrophysical Journal (2025)

We present JWST NIRCam observations of the emerging young star clusters (eYSCs) detected in the nearby spiral galaxy M83. The NIRcam mosaic encompasses the nuclear starburst, the bar, and the inner spiral arms. The eYSCs, detected in Pa α a...
