Mid-infrared Measurements of Ion-irradiated Carbonaceous Meteorites: How to Better Detect Space Weathering Effects

The Planetary Science Journal
Remote sensing study of asteroids will soon enter a new era with an increasing amount of data available thanks to the JWST, especially in the mid-infrared (MIR) range that allows identification of mineral species.

The Visual Umwelt of primates and Hippocampal Representations of Space

Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Evolution sculpts the brain's sensory adaptations. Because these adaptations differ markedly across species, it is challenging for humans to fully comprehend how other animals perceive the world. For a nocturnal mouse, the subjective sensory world—its Umwelt—is dominated by odors, sounds, and textures, with visual input playing a secondary ...

Perspective Projection of an Ellipse and an Ellipsoid for Analytical View Factor Evaluation

Heat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 44-55, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Radiative view factors are fundamental quantities for evaluating radiative heat transfer between different surfaces. While analytical expressions of view factors have been evaluated for various types of basic geometries, including circular disks and spheres, extending these solutions to more complex geometries, such as ellipses and ellipsoids ...

On the Stability Barrier of Hermite Type Discretizations of Advection Equations

Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT We establish a stability barrier for a class of high‐order Hermite‐type discretization of 1D advection equations underlying the hybrid‐variable (HV) and active flux (AF) methods. These methods approximate both cell averages and nodal solutions and evolve them in time simultaneously.

Modeling Linear Polarization of the Didymos–Dimorphos System before and after the DART Impact

The Planetary Science Journal
We analyze the polarization observations of the Didymos–Dimorphos system before and after the impact by the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft on Dimorphos.

The Effect of Tip Design on Technological Performance During the Exploration of Earth, Lunar, and Martian Soil Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 387-408, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the penetration performance of soil‐burrowing probes with different tip designs during shallow‐depth penetration in various media, including terrestrial soils (Hostun sand) and well‐characterized planetary soil simulants (LHS‐1 Lunar regolith simulant and MGS‐1 Martian regolith simulant).

Detection of a 2.85 μm Feature on Five Spinel-rich Asteroids from JWST

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Ground-based observations of “Barbarian” L-type asteroids at 1–2.5 μ m indicate that their near-infrared spectra are dominated by the mineral spinel, which has been attributed to a high abundance of calcium-aluminum inclusions (CAIs)—the first solids to ...

Formation of Asteroid (16) Psyche by a Giant Impact

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest likely metal‐rich asteroid in the Solar System and the target of the NASA Psyche mission. The mission aims to determine whether the asteroid is the core of a differentiated planetesimal that lost its mantle via a giant impact.

Evaluation of simulated space weathering-based meteorite alteration and potential influence on mechanical deformation of rubble pile asteroids

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Asteroids with the potential to impact Earth have become a significant focus of scientific research and applied space technology. These bodies are expected to be key targets for mitigation actions and space mining activities in the coming decades ...
