Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Dark Matter in the Coming Decade: Complementary Paths to Discovery and Beyond

, 2015
In this report we summarize the many dark matter searches currently being pursued through four complementary approaches: direct detection, indirect detection, collider experiments, and astrophysical probes.

Non‐innocent solvents in meteorite extractions: Evidence for artifact formation

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Solvent extraction is a cornerstone of meteoritic organic and inorganic chemistry, yet the assumption that common solvents act as chemically inert media is becoming increasingly untenable. This study reports that low‐molecular‐weight alcohols, particularly methanol and ethanol, are “non‐innocent” solvents when used to extract soluble sulfur ...

Cosmology with the Highly Redshifted 21cm Line [PDF]

, 2019
In addition to being a probe of Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization astrophysics, the 21cm line at $z>6$ is also a powerful way to constrain cosmology. Its power derives from several unique capabilities.

Einstein’s Equations, Cosmology, and Astrophysics [PDF]

, 2014
I give a compact, pedagogical review of our present understanding of the universe as based on general relativity. This includes the uniform models, with special reference to the cosmological 'constant'; and the equations for spherically-symmetric systems, in a particularly convenient form that aids their application to astrophysics.

Confirmation of the impact origin of the Late Ordovician Tvären impact structure (southeast Sweden) and emplacement of impactites in a marine setting

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

The effects of pressure on immiscibility in metallic, core‐forming liquids: Implications for protoplanetary differentiation

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mechanisms for metal core formation in rocky planetesimals and planetary embryos remain poorly constrained, in part due to complexities arising from immiscibility in core‐forming liquids at low pressures. To assess the pressure dependence of immiscibility and its role in protoplanetary differentiation, we performed experiments at 3 and 5 GPa ...

Embedding Black Holes and Other Inhomogeneities in the Universe in Various Theories of Gravity: A Short Review

Universe, 2018
Classic black hole mechanics and thermodynamics are formulated for stationary black holes with event horizons. Alternative theories of gravity of interest for cosmology contain a built-in time-dependent cosmological “constant” and black holes

Solar neutrino physics: Sensitivity to light dark matter particles

, 2012
Neutrinos are produced in several neutrino nuclear reactions of the proton-proton chain and carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle that take place at different radius of the Sun's core.

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...
