Microbial endolithic community at Meteor Crater

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 955-962, June 2026.
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.

Observation of Diffuse Galactic Light Near the Galactic Center with ONC-T on Board Hayabusa2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Diffuse Galactic light (DGL) is starlight scattered by interstellar dust. In visible wavelengths, earlier studies observed DGL toward regions of low optical depth in high Galactic latitude, and show marginal consistency with a theoretical model assuming ...

Anhydrous minerals in asteroid Bennu: Evidence for well‐preserved primordial components

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 963-986, June 2026.
Abstract Aqueously altered carbonaceous astromaterials are dominated by secondary minerals, but a minor fraction of primary, anhydrous silicates and oxides escape alteration, offering insight into the original composition of asteroid parent bodies. We report the mineralogy, petrology, mineral chemistry, and oxygen isotopes of anhydrous minerals—50 ...

Low temperatures and high water/rock ratios in asteroid (101955) Bennu's history based on X‐ray powder diffraction of returned samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1077-1094, June 2026.
Abstract Samples returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission from the carbonaceous asteroid (101955) Bennu hold clues about conditions in the early solar system and the formation of planetary bodies. Initial investigation of Bennu samples found that they are rich in phyllosilicates and other secondary minerals formed during aqueous alteration of a larger ...

Magnetically Aligned Grains as a Ubiquitous Source of Spin-polarized Electrons and Chiral-symmetry-breaking Agents

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The unique biosignature of life on Earth is the homochirality of organic compounds, such as amino acids, proteins, and sugars. High-energy spin-polarized (spinup or spindown) electrons (SPEs) from the β decay of radioactive nuclei have been proposed as a

Tracing the History of Obscured Star Formation with the SIMBA Cosmological Galaxy Evolution Simulation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We explore the cosmic evolution of the fraction of dust-obscured star formation predicted by the simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulations featuring an on-the-fly model for dust formation, evolution, and destruction.

Near-infrared [P II] and [Fe II] Emission-line Study of Supernova Remnants in the Magellanic Clouds

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We report findings from near-infrared imaging observations of 17 young and middle-aged supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Magellanic Clouds to examine the impact of SNR shocks on dust destruction and the possible detection of supernova ejecta.
