A new way to see inside black holes [PDF]

, 2016
Black holes are real astrophysical objects, but their interiors are hidden and can only be "observed" through mathematics. The structure of rotating black holes is typically illustrated with the help of special coordinates. But any such coordinate choice

Bioerosion Drill Holes Increase Carbonate Dissolution in the Planktonic Foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Planktonic foraminifera are instrumental in reconstructing paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic conditions. However, preferential dissolution can significantly bias both assemblages and chemical analyses, leading to biased interpretations. Bioerosional drill holes are commonly found in foraminiferal tests; however, it remains unknown if these ...

Impact of the Accretion Disk Thickness on the Polarization of the Thermal Emission from Stellar Mass Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, launched in 2021 December, enables precision measurements of the energy-dependent polarization of the X-ray emission from stellar mass and supermassive black holes.

Block‐in‐Matrix Deformation and Veining in Alpine Subducted Oceanic Metasediments at Blueschist Facies Conditions

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In subduction zones, the locked seismogenic zone is bordered by an upper and a lower transition zone. In these transition zones, deformation is primarily accommodated by an interplay of diffuse viscous deformation within a weak matrix and brittle deformation in stiffer bands and blocks.

Constraining the Hydration of Clay Minerals and Abundances of Amorphous Phases in Gale Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Both water and organic matter are required for the development and persistence of life. Phyllosilicates (clay minerals) have high surface areas that easily sorb water and organic matter. The Curiosity rover has investigated several hundred meters of stratigraphy in Gale crater, including where clays were detected from orbit.

Interpretable Machine Learning for Finding Intermediate-mass Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal
Definitive evidence that globular clusters (GCs) host intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is elusive. Machine-learning (ML) models trained on GC simulations can in principle predict IMBH host candidates based on observable features.

Transport of Water in a Transient, Impact‐Generated Atmosphere on Mercury

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Mercury's polar cold traps host water ice deposits that are likely populated with impact‐delivered water via Mercury's exosphere. However, Mercury's near‐sun location experiences an extremely high photodestruction rate that rapidly destroys water with a timescale of only ∼3.5 hr.

The Interior of Black Holes and their Astrophysics [PDF]

, 2003
Gravity warps space and time into a funnel and generates a black hole when a cosmic body undergoes a catastrophic collapse. What can one say about the interior of a black hole? The important point is that inside a black hole the space radial direction becomes time, and time becomes a space direction.

Probing Strong Gravitational Fields in X-ray Novae

, 1998
Most X-ray novae (aka soft X-ray transients) contain black hole primaries. In particular, the large mass functions measured for six X-ray novae directly clinch the argument (within general relativity) that they contain black holes.

An Aeolian Depositional Sequence Shaped by Near‐Surface Water at the Base of the Layered Sulfate Unit, Gale Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The basal strata of the orbitally defined Layered Sulfate unit (LSu) in Gale crater, Mars, marks the end of a major mineralogical transition from clay‐to sulfate‐bearing stratigraphy. This has previously been attributed to a period of significant aridification of Gale's climate. Here, we present ground‐based observations by the Curiosity rover
