The Cumulation of Debris Clouds around a Fast-rotating Asteroid
The Astrophysical JournalThe rotational mass loss has been realized to be a prevalent mechanism to produce low-speed debris near the asteroid, and the size composition of the asteroid’s surface regolith has been closely measured by in situ explorations.

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution
AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 55, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Humanity seems stuck on different ways to fail to meet the challenge posed by a declared climate emergency and manifest problems of ecological breakdown. Rather than reprise these failures, we use the Fermi Paradox and simulation hypothesis to make a simple point about agency. The argument unfolds in two sections.

Dynamic 3D Simulation of Surface Charging on Rotating Asteroids
The Astrophysical JournalThe surface-charging phenomenon of asteroids, mainly resulting from solar wind plasma and solar radiation, has been extensively studied. However, the influence of the asteroid’s rotation on surface charging is not yet fully understood.

A Change of the Rotation Period of Asteroid (65803) Didymos Caused by the DART Impact
The Planetary Science JournalOn 2022 September 26, the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos. This experiment tested the kinetic impactor technology for diverting dangerous asteroids.
