Technologized Reproduction in Space: A Space‐Bioethical Case for Assisted Procreation

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the increasing feasibility of space colonization, the issue of reproduction in space is becoming more relevant. As new settlements on the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies emerge, ensuring generational continuity will be essential for the survival and growth of these communities.

DART Impact Ejecta Plume Evolution: Implications for Dimorphos

The Planetary Science Journal
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted the moon Dimorphos of the [65803] Didymos binary system and changed the binary orbit period, demonstrating asteroid deflection by a kinetic impact and indicating that more momentum was ...

Photometry of Outer Solar System Objects from the Dark Energy Survey. I. Photometric Methods, Light-curve Distributions, and Trans-Neptunian Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We report the methods of and initial scientific inferences from the extraction of precision photometric information for the >800 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovered in the images of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Scene-modeling photometry is used to

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Machine-learning identification of asteroid groups

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
Asteroid families are groups of asteroids that share a common origin. They can be the outcome of a collision or be the result of the rotational failure of a parent body or its satellites.

Asteroid mass estimation using Markov-chain Monte Carlo [PDF]

, 2017
Estimates for asteroid masses are based on their gravitational perturbations on the orbits of other objects such as Mars, spacecraft, or other asteroids and/or their satellites.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

A Photometric Survey of over 200 V-type Asteroids and Their Phase-curve Analysis

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
V-type asteroids are considered to be crustal fragments of asteroid (4) Vesta and possibly of other differentiated parent bodies that once existed in the main asteroid belt.
