The picture we have of the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC) from both \\emph{in situ} detections and absorption line data presents questions that have important implications for the origins and evolution of the cloud. New detections of $^{60}$Fe on Earth in deep sea crusts and Antarctic snow cores provide evidence for the role of supernovae in shaping the LISM. We discuss our models for the evolution of the LIC inside the Local Bubble and possible explanations for the source of the supernova produced dust.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-14T15:30:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "interstellar dust", "heliosphere", "antarctic snow cores", "absorption line data", "local interstellar medium" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
