Saponite Bearing Material Excavated During the Formation of a Recent 25‐m‐Diameter Impact Crater in Southeastern Arabia Terra on Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), Context Imager (CTX), and High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment observations were analyzed for a 25‐m‐wide impact crater and associated ejecta deposits located in the dust‐covered Arabia Terra region.

Leaky Dust Traps in Planet-embedded Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
From the survival of dust disks for a few Myr to the establishment of chemical dichotomy, dust traps are expected to play a pivotal role in sculpting protoplanetary disks and the early planet formation process.

Aspect Asymmetry in Martian Gullies: A Topographic Signature of Their Formation Process?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract On Mars, erosional‐depositional landforms named gullies provide natural experiments for studying the topographic signature of the processes that act on hillslope evolution. High‐resolution topographic data were used to quantitatively compare the steepness of opposing walls in gully alcoves incised into ice‐rich slopeside mantling deposits.

The Ultraviolet Slopes of Early Universe Galaxies: The Impact of Bursty Star Formation, Dust, and Nebular Continuum Emission

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
JWST has enabled the detection of the ultraviolet (UV) continuum of galaxies at z > 10, revealing extremely blue, potentially dust-free galaxies. However, interpreting UV spectra is complicated by the well-known degeneracy between stellar ages, dust ...

The Search for Celestial Positronium via the Recombination Spectrum

open access: yes, 2009
Positronium is the short-lived atom consisting of a bound electron-positron pair. In the triplet state, when the spins of both particles are parallel, radiative recombination lines will be emitted prior to annihilation.

Shoulder of Dust Rings Formed by Planet–Disk Interactions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent analyses of millimeter-wavelength protoplanetary disk observations have revealed several emission excesses on the previously identified dust rings, referred to as dust shoulders.

Distances to Recent Near-Earth Supernovae from Geological and Lunar 60Fe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Near-Earth supernova blasts which engulf the solar system have left traces of their ejecta in the geological and lunar records. There is now a wealth of data on live radioactive ^60 Fe pointing to a supernova at 3 Myr ago, as well as the recent discovery

Inside-out Planet Formation. VIII. Onset of Planet Formation and the Transition Disk Phase

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Inside-out planet formation (IOPF) is a theory of in situ formation via pebble accretion of close-in Earth to super-Earth mass planets at the pressure maximum associated with the dead zone inner boundary (DZIB), whose location is set initially by thermal

Mechanical Torque Disruption of Dust Grains Induced by Supernova Shock Waves

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The feedback from massive stars drives the evolution of interstellar dust grains by altering their physical properties via a number of radiative and mechanical processes.

No Evidence of Polarization in the 11.3 μm Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission Line by Independent Analyses

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are commonly used as proxies for star formation, molecular gas content, and other interstellar medium (ISM) properties in our Galaxy and other galaxies.
