Ferric Chloride: The Venusian Unknown UV Absorber?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Near‐ultraviolet imaging of the planet Venus reveals inhomogeneous absorption features in the otherwise bright clouds. This absorption has been studied for nearly 100 years, but identification of the near‐UV absorber remains one of the largest open questions in Venusian research.

Catalog of Proper Orbits for 1.25 Million Main-belt Asteroids and Discovery of 136 New Collisional Families

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The proper elements of asteroids are obtained from the instantaneous orbital elements by removing periodic oscillations produced by gravitational interactions with planets.

Bolide light curve systematics from 75 recovered meteorites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2351-2392, September 2026.
Abstract How does the energy deposition profile (light curve), deceleration, and penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere depend on asteroid composition and meteorite type? Here, we present the light curve and velocity profile of 75 bolides from camera‐documented meteorite falls.

On the Dynamical Evolution of the Asteroid Belt in a Massive Star–Neutron Star Binary

The Astrophysical Journal
Some fast radio bursts (FRBs) exhibit repetitive behaviors, and their origins remain enigmatic. It has been argued that repeating FRBs could be produced by the interaction between a neutron star and an asteroid belt.

Effects of asteroid belt and oblateness on the stability and orbits near triangular Lagrange points

Results in Physics
This study investigates the dynamics of an infinitesimal body within the context of the restricted three-body problem, incorporating perturbations arising from the asteroid belt and the oblateness effects of the three bodies.

The first discovery of a shocked, metasomatised CV3 chondrule‐fragment in a (Al,Cu)‐bearing micrometeorite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2269-2283, September 2026.
Abstract We report the discovery of the second (Al,Cu)‐alloy–bearing micrometeorite, FB‐A2, recovered from Mount Gariglione (southern Italy), representing the sixth such occurrence worldwide. Although chondritic in nature, FB‐A2 differs markedly from previously described microspherules.

What Happened to the Asteroid Belt?

, 2017
This chapter discusses the nature and composition of the asteroid belt. Although little is known about most of the individual members of the asteroid belt, astronomers have a good idea how much material there is altogether.

Precise Orbit Determination of Mars-crossing Asteroids

The Astronomical Journal
This study investigates the orbit determination of the Mars-crossing asteroids (MCAs) with a focus on the possibility of detecting their Yarkovsky signals. We analyze the influences of force model uncertainties on MCA orbits, including the uncertainty of

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

Structural Evolution of Antigorite by High‐Velocity Impacts

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Serpentine is a major hydrous mineral present in hydrous asteroids that have evolved through planetary impacts. Understanding its dynamic behavior is essential to elucidate the redistribution and retention of water during high‐velocity impact processes. The shock response of antigorite was examined at pressures up to 106 GPa using laser‐driven
