Abstract

Description

Observations of interstellar gas and dust towards nearby stars and within the solar system show that the Sun is embedded in a warm diffuse partially-ionized cloud. This cloud is the leading edge of a flow of interstellar matter (ISM) through our Galactic neighborhood. Interstellar matter sets the boundary conditions of the heliosphere and astrospheres of extra-solar planetary systems. Moreover, the interplanetary regions in these systems are sensitive to inflowing ISM.
