Resource Race and Green Transition: Three Unexpected Conclusions from Foresight Centres Research on Climate and Poverty
Beneath the surface of green energy—which most people associate with solar panels, electric vehicles, and reduced CO2 emissions—lies a complex web of geopolitical interests, international inequality, and resource constraints. Researchers from the Laboratory for Science and Technology Studies (LST) at the HSE ISSEK Foresight Centre have published a series of articles in leading international journals on hidden and overt conflicts surrounding critically important metals and minerals, as well as related processes in the energy sector.

Immersion in Second Language Environment Influences Bilinguals Perception of Emotions
Researchers at the Cognitive Health and Intelligence Centre at the HSE Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have discovered how bilingual individuals process emotional words in their native (first) and non-native (second) languages. It was found that the link between word meaning and bodily sensations is weaker in a second language than in a first language. However, the more a person is immersed in a language environment, the smaller this difference becomes. The article has been published in Language, Cognition and Neuroscience.

Secondary Interstellar Oxygen in the Heliosphere: Numerical Modeling and Comparison with IBEX-Lo Data

Astrophysical Journal. 2017. Vol. 850. No. 2. P. 1–10.
Baliukin I., Izmodenov V.V., Moebius E., Alexashov D. B., Katushkina O. A., Kucharek H.

Quantitative analysis of the interstellar heavy (oxygen and neon) atom fluxes obtained by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) suggests the existence of the secondary interstellar oxygen component. This component is formed near the heliopause due to charge exchange of interstellar oxygen ions with hydrogen atoms, as was predicted theoretically. A detailed quantitative analysis of the fluxes of interstellar heavy atoms is only possible with a model that takes into account both the filtration of primary and the production of secondary interstellar oxygen in the boundary region of the heliosphere as well as a detailed simulation of the motion of interstellar atoms inside the heliosphere. This simulation must take into account photoionization, charge exchange with the protons of the solar wind and solar gravitational attraction. This paper presents the results of modeling interstellar oxygen and neon atoms through the heliospheric interface and inside the heliosphere based on a three-dimensional kinetic-MHD model of the solar wind interaction with the local interstellar medium and a comparison of these results with the data obtained on the IBEX spacecraft.

The effect of magnetic field dissipation in the inner heliosheath: reconciling global heliosphere model and voyager data
Sergey D. Korolkov, Igor I. Baliukin, Opher M., Advances in Space Research 2026 Vol. 77 No. 6 P. 7443–7454
Global ideal magnetohydrodynamic models of the heliosphere typically predict a greatly exaggerated magnetic field pile-up in the inner heliosheath (IHS), the region between the termination shock and heliopause. However, Voyager 1 and 2 observations show only a gradual increase throughout this region. This mismatch is largely attributed to the simplified assumption of a unipolar solar ...

Mathematical Modeling of Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability at Tangential Discontinuities in Partially Ionized Plasma: Application to Heliopause Dynamics
A. V. Titova, S. D. Korolkov, V. V. Izmodenov, Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematics 2025 Vol. 46 No. 9 P. 4526–4533
The stability of the heliopause, the tangential discontinuity separating the solar wind from the interstellar medium, is influenced by various processes, including the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. This study investigates the role of charge exchange collisions between protons and hydrogen (H) atoms in reduction of the Kelvin–Helmholtz growth rate at the heliopause. Using a two-dimensional gasdynamic model ...

Self-oscillations of the two-jet collimated astrosphere: new type of instability
Sergey Korolkov, Vladislav Izmodenov, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia 2025 Vol. 42 Article e123
Recently, there have been discussions about the shape of the heliopause. Some scientists question the classical form, which is close to a paraboloid. They suggest that the heliopause may have a two-jet collimated shape. While we disagree with this view of the heliopause shape, it seems likely that for stars with stronger stellar magnetic fields ...

Understanding the IBEX ribbon using the kinetic model of pickup proton transport in a scatter-free limit
Baliukin I., Izmodenov V., Advances in Space Research 2025 Vol. 76 No. 3 P. 1917–1938
One of the most remarkable discoveries by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is the ribbon – a narrow band of enhanced energetic neutral atom (ENA) fluxes observed in the sky. The prevailing explanation attributes the IBEX ribbon to the secondary ENA mechanism. In this process, “primary” hydrogen ENAs, produced via charge exchange between solar wind protons and interstellar hydrogen ...

Effects of angular scattering and H+p, H+H collisions on the properties of interstellar atoms in the heliosphere
A.V. Titova, V.V. Izmodenov, S.D. Korolkov, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia 2025 Vol. 42 Article e045
Interstellar hydrogen atoms (H atoms) penetrate into the heliosphere through the region of the solar wind interaction with the interstellar plasma due to their large mean free path. Resonant charge exchange of H atoms with protons has been considered as the main interaction process between the components. In the majority of models, other processes like ...

The global structure of astrospheres: Effect of Knudsen number
Корольков С. Д., Vladislav Izmodenov, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia 2024 Vol. 41 Article e074
The interaction between stellar winds and the partially ionized local interstellar medium (LISM) is quite common in astrophysics. However, the main difficulty in describing the neutral components lies in the fact that the mean free path of an interstellar atom, l, can be comparable to the characteristic size of an astrosphere, L (i.e. the Knudsen ...

Magnetic Trapping of Galactic Cosmic Rays in the Outer Heliosheath and Their Preferential Entry into the Heliosphere
Florinski V., Guzman J. A., Kleimann J. et al., Astrophysical Journal 2024 Vol. 961 No. 2 Article 244
This paper examines the geometry of interstellar magnetic field lines close to the boundary of the heliosphere in the direction of the unperturbed local interstellar magnetic field, where the field lines are spread apart by the heliopause (HP). Such field parting establishes a region of weaker magnetic field of about 300 au in size in ...

Lyα Absorption in a “Croissant-like” Heliosphere
Powell E., Opher M., Kornbleuth M. et al., Astrophysical Journal 2024 Vol. 961 No. 2 Article 235
Lyα absorption profiles have been used to detect astrospheres and heliospheric absorption from the hydrogen wall and heliotail. Using magnetohydrodynamic models of the heliosphere, we can compare simulated to observed Lyα profiles to probe the neutral hydrogen within and near the heliosphere. There is an ongoing controversy whether the heliosphere has a long “comet-like” tail ...

Lagrangian fluid approach for the modelling of peculiarities of the interstellar dust distribution in the astrospheres/heliosphere
Mishchenko A. V., E. A. Godenko, V. V. Izmodenov, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 2020 Vol. 491 No. 2 P. 2808–2821
Interstellar dust (ISD) penetrates into the heliosphere/astrosphere due to relative motion of the Sun and the local interstellar medium (LISM). Inside the heliosphere/astrosphere and at the heliospheric boundaries, where the solar/stellar wind interacts with LISM, distribution of the ISD is modified due to an action of electromagnetic forces, the solar gravitation, and radiation pressure. In this paper, we show ...

C II*/C II ratio in high-redshift DLAs: ISM phase separation drives the observed bimodality of [C II] cooling rates
Balashev S., Telikova K. N., Noterdaeme P., Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters 2022 Vol. 509 No. 1 P. L26–L30
We discuss observations of C II*/C II ratios and cooling rates due to [C II] 158μm emission in high-redshift intervening damped Lyman-α (DLA) systems towards quasars. We show that the observed bimodality in the C II cooling rates actually reflects a bimodality in the C II*/C II-metallicity plane that can be naturally explained by phase ...
