Ozone Production by Electron Irradiation of Regolith Ice: Laboratory Study for the Icy Moons
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract We irradiate fine‐grained regolith pure water ice in ultra high vacuum with 5keV $5\,\text{keV}$ and 10keV $10\,\text{keV}$ electrons to study the radiolysis of water ice. The ice regolith is designed to closely mimic the physical characteristics of the surfaces of the icy moons of the Solar System.

Redshift Distributions of Fast Radio Bursts Inferred Using Clustering in Dispersion Measure Space
The Astrophysical JournalFast radio bursts (FRBs), millisecond-duration radio transient events, possess the potential to serve as excellent cosmological probes. The FRB redshift distribution contains information about the FRB sources, providing key constraints on the types of ...

Galactic Cosmic Ray Ionization on Uranus; Geomagnetic Latitude Dependencies
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) are a major source of atmospheric ionization, influencing ion abundance, aerosol formation, and electrical processes. GCR‐induced effects are expected to be more pronounced on Uranus than planets closer to the Sun for two reasons; reduced solar irradiance, and weaker solar modulation of incident GCR.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The formation of gullies on Mars has often been attributed to the melting of (sub)surface water ice. However, melting‐based hypotheses generally overlook key processes: (a) sublimation cooling by latent heat absorption, (b) the non‐stability of ice where melting conditions can be reached, and (c) the particular microclimates of gullied slopes.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 300-316, February 2026.Abstract The Campo del Cielo iron meteorite (IAB‐MG) provides a unique window into early solar system processes, particularly the formation and evolution of carbon phases in non‐magmatic iron meteorites. In this study, we conducted a systematic nanostructural investigation of three distinct graphite occurrences—cliftonite (type I), interstitial ...

Small but mighty: Impact hazards from iron Near‐Earth Objects
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 224-240, February 2026.Abstract Small asteroids can impact Earth unexpectedly, as demonstrated by the Chelyabinsk event in 2013. The warning times are likely to be short, and the first tools for fast hazard predictions have been developed in the last years for encounters with rocky or cometary objects, which quickly fragment in the atmosphere and cause airbursts. However, in

Rapid terrestrial weathering of the CI1 carbonaceous chondrite find Oued Chebeika 002
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 211-223, February 2026.Abstract Alteration of historic CI1 meteorite falls during their curation demonstrates the susceptibility of smectite‐rich carbonaceous chondrites to terrestrial exposure. The discovery of Oued Chebeika 002 in Morocco in June 2024 presents a unique opportunity to document the earliest stages of weathering of a CI1 find.

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 241-271, February 2026.Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...
