Thermochemical equilibrium calculations of high-temperature O2 generation on the early Earth: Giant asteroid impact on land [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2003
Earth’s atmosphere is composed primarily of N2 and O2. The origin of free O2 in the early Earth’s atmosphere is still subject of considerable debate.1 Theoretical models suggest that the initial form of free O2 in the atmosphere has been oceanic H2O ...

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Multiple fossil calibration points reveal recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny allowed to infer Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes. Conflicting plastid and

Immersion and Invariance Based Adaptive Backstepping Control for Body-Fixed Hovering Over an Asteroid

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
An adaptive control law is proposed in this paper for body-fixed hovering over an asteroid with an unknown gravity field and an unknown rotation rate. The unknown parameters and irregular shape of an asteroid make the hovering problem challenging.

The nature and formation of silica minerals in eucrite meteorites: Insight into the protoplanetary magma crystallization

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Silica polymorphs in meteorites provide critical constraints on crystallization processes associated with thermal activity in the early solar system. A detailed investigation of silica polymorphs in eucrites (the largest group of achondrites) using cathodoluminescence imaging and laser‐Raman spectroscopy revealed significant variations in the ...
