The effect of pressure on dihedral angle between liquid Fe‐S and orthopyroxene: Implication for percolative core formation in planetesimals and planetary embryos

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract During precursor stages of planet formation, many planetesimals and planetary embryos are considered to have differentiated, forming an iron‐alloy core and silicate mantle. Percolation of liquid iron‐alloy in solid silicates is one of the major possible differentiation processes in these small bodies.

Unusual Space Weathering on a CE-5 Metal Grain Indicates Deceptive Surface Signatures of M-type Asteroids

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
M-type asteroids are historically thought to be exposed metallic cores of differentiated planets with a composition dominated by pure iron and nickel. However, recent spectral and radar observations reveal an insufficient number of M-type asteroids in ...

Sulfur‐bearing serpentine in carbonaceous chondrites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A correlative multi‐technique approach, including electron microscopy and X‐ray synchrotron work, has been used to obtain both structural and compositional information of a sulfur‐bearing serpentine identified in several carbonaceous chondrites (Winchcombe CM2, Aguas Zarcas CM2, Ivuna CI, and Orgueil CI), and in Ryugu samples returned by the ...

Assessment of Flyby Methods as Applied to Close Encounters among Asteroids

Aerospace
Orbital flybys have been extensively studied for spacecraft missions, resulting in effective mathematical and physical models. However, these models’ applicability to natural encounters involving asteroids has not been explored.

Kindberg, the fifth meteorite fall in Austria: A weakly shocked L6 chondrite breccia with high‐pressure phases

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A bright fireball was seen at 4:46 a.m. CET on November 19, 2020, over Austria, and also eye witnessed in Italy and Germany. The resulting Kindberg meteorite was the fifth well‐approved meteorite fall in Austria, and all rocks represent ordinary chondrites.

Utilizing Citizen Contribution to Track Cosmic Material Entry into Earth's Atmosphere: Insights from Mexico

Geofísica Internacional
In this paper, the importance of information posted on social networks in the study of meteoroid entry into the Earth’s atmosphere is shown. This kind of networks work thanks to the information shared by many people, which is stored on different servers.

Photoluminescence and Cathodoluminescence of the Solid Cometary Substance

Open Astronomy, 2019
We have proposed that solar ultraviolet and corpuscular radiations may excite photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence of the solid cometary substance including mineral halos of comets.

Textural and geochemical diversity of impact melt rock clasts in Apollo 16 sample 67015: Implications for the provenance of impact ejecta in the lunar highlands

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Apollo sample 67015 has been classified as a fragmental breccia comprised of highlands‐type clasts and is proposed to be the most complex Apollo 16 sample. 67015 is dominated by impact melt rock clasts that display a variety of textures, which have been previously interpreted to be indicative of multiple impact events.
