Thermal history, collisional history, and structure of the CK‐chondrite parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Major chondrite groups (H, L, LL, R, EH, EL, CK) with some members of petrologic type 5 and 6 also have some members of types 3 and 4; they do not have members of type 1 or 2. Their parent bodies had onion‐shell structures and were internally heated by the decay of 26Al.

Laboratory Astrophysics of Dust

open access: yes, 2011
Infrared spectroscopy is the best astronomical tool for studying the composition of cosmic dust. Thanks to the Herschel satellite, dust properties from the FIR to mm wavelength range will be sampled in different astrophysical environments.

Filament Formation due to Diffusive Instabilities in Dusty Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the finding of a new, local diffusion instability in a protoplanetary disk which can operate in a dust fluid, subject to mass diffusion, shear viscosity, and dust–gas drag, provided the diffusivity, viscosity, or both, decrease sufficiently ...

Thermal history of an amoeboid olivine aggregate in the early solar nebula

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbonaceous chondrites commonly contain amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOAs). Here, we investigated an AOA in the CR chondrite Y‐793261. This AOA contains an unstable assemblage of forsterite and quartz. We found a rare occurrence of enstatite and quantitatively discuss its formation process.

Diffusive Instabilities in Dusty Disks: Linear Growth and Nonlinear Breakdown

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We revisit the diffusive instability in dusty disks that arises when the dust mass diffusivity and/or viscosity decrease sufficiently steeply with increasing dust density. Our updated model includes an incompressible viscous gas that responds azimuthally

Ray-tracing Simulations and Spectral Models of X-Ray Radiation in Dusty Media

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Dust can play an important role in shaping the X-ray spectra and images of astrophysical sources. In this work we report on the implementation of dust in the ray-tracing platform RefleX .

The craters that never were: Anthropogenic origins of alleged impact structures in the Chiemgau region

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Public fascination with impact craters often drives bold speculations, but rigorous verification is critical. In southeastern Bavaria, numerous depressions have been proposed to represent impact craters associated with a catastrophic event in Celtic times (between 900 BC and 600 BC)—the so called “Chiemgau Impact.” To date, the evidence ...

General Implicit Runge–Kutta Integrators for Multifluid Gas–Dust Aerodynamic Drag

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The integration of aerodynamic drag is a fundamental step in simulating dust dynamics in hydrodynamical simulations. We propose a novel integration scheme, designed to be compatible with Strang splitting techniques, which allows for the straightforward ...

A Catalog of 71 Coronal Line Galaxies in MaNGA: [Ne v] Is an Effective AGN Tracer

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Despite the importance of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in galaxy evolution, accurate AGN identification is often challenging, as common AGN diagnostics can be confused by contributions from star formation and other effects (e.g., Baldwin–Phillips ...

Distribution and rare earth element abundances of apatite in Bennu samples determined by synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Apatite is often the most rare earth element (REE)‐enriched mineral in chondritic meteorites. REE enrichment and fractionation levels in apatite grains can give insight into the aqueous fluids in which they formed and the conditions prevailing within the host body. In this study, we applied synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence (SXRF) spectroscopy to
