Experimental Observation of a Calcium Silicon Double Carbonate
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.High‐pressure and ‐temperature reactions between Ca5(Si2O7)(CO3)2 tilleyite and CO2 carbon dioxide yield the first experimental evidence of the double carbonate Ca2Si(CO3)4 and a new Ca2(C4O10) phase containing tetrahedral [CO4] units. These findings reveal unexpected carbonate chemistry and highlight pathways for carbon incorporation under mantle ...

Laboratory impact splash experiments to simulate asteroid surfaces [PDF]
Icarus, 2020 Granular material that is bound by the low gravity of a small asteroid is mobilized by slow velocity impacts. These splashes generated by impacts might play an important role in sculpting the asteroid's surface. In laboratory experiments we characterize the ejecta generated by spherical 150 $\rm m$ diameter basalt grains impacting a granular bed at 0.

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are a key test bed for investigations into planet formation, asteroid dynamics, and planetary defense initiatives. These studies rely on understanding NEA sizes, albedo distributions, and regolith properties.

Asteroid (101955) Bennu’s weak boulders and thermally anomalous equator
Science Advances, 2020 Heterogeneous thermal properties of Bennu are due primarily to spatial mixing of two boulder types with differing strengths. Thermal inertia and surface roughness are proxies for the physical characteristics of planetary surfaces.

An Asteroid Lander/Rover for Asteroid Surface Gravity Surveying
, 2016 Microsat and nanosat developers have mastered the challenges involved in developing low-cost, high-performance satellite missions in low Earth orbit. Here we describe a proposed small-microsat-scale (~20 kg) planetary exploration mission based on the same design approach used in those LEO missions.

Sm and Gd Isotopic Shifts in Eucrites and Implications for Their Cosmic-Ray Exposure History
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The isotopic compositions of Sm and Gd in eight eucrites—five from a desert, Dar al Gani (DaG) 380, DaG 391, DaG 411, DaG 443, and DaG 480, and three from nondesert areas, Juvinas, Millibillillie, and Stannern—were determined to understand the cosmic-ray

Simulating the (99942) Apophis Earth Flyby Using a Contact Binary Model
The Planetary Science JournalThis paper investigates the mass shifts of asteroid (99942) Apophis during its 2029 close encounter with Earth, using the contact dynamics method, a type of discrete element method. Unlike previous analyses, we model the asteroid as a contact binary body

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.All‐perovskite tandem solar cells are evaluated under low‐intensity and low‐temperature (LILT) conditions relevant to space environments. Distinct loss regimes emerge, where weaker entropic mixing causes halide segragation below ≈240 K going along with a strong current imbalance, while poor electron transport in C60 dominates.
