Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Static recrystallization of shocked calcite in Ries impact breccias

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Calcite is prone to chemical and microstructural modifications, especially after having been strained at high stresses and strain rates, as during hypervelocity impact events. These modifications include precipitation from pore fluid as well as replacement of strained volumes by recrystallization. In calcite aggregates of a metagranite breccia

Asymmetry, Gap Opening, and a High Accretion Rate on DM Tau: A Hypothesis Based on the Interaction of Magnetized Disk Wind with Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
Over 200 protoplanetary disk systems have been resolved by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), and the vast majority suggest the presence of planets.

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Mathematical Anatomy of Neutrino Decoherence in Red Turbulence: A Fractional Calculus Approach

The Astrophysical Journal
We develop an exact framework for neutrino decoherence in power-law correlated turbulent matter, as encountered in core-collapse supernovae. Employing the Nakajima–Zwanzig projection technique, we derive an exact non-Markovian master equation for the ...

Xeonphi Meets Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics

, 2014
This white paper reports on ours e orts to optimize a 2D/3D astrophysical (magento-)hydrodynamics Fortran code for XeonPhi. The code is parallelized with OpenMP and is suitable for execution on a shared memory system. Due to complexity of the code combined with immaturity of compiler we were unable to stay within the boundaries of Intel Compiler Suite.

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 ...

Laboratory Experiments in Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics
Geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics (GAFD) is an interdisciplinary field. It encompasses a wide range of fluid systems, from planetary atmospheres and the oceans of Earth and icy moons to the interiors of telluric planets, giant planets, and stars. It also spans vast timescales and space scales.

CI chondrite Oued Chebeika 002 links asteroids Bennu and Ryugu to common parent body

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract CI chondrites are a compositionally primitive group of meteorites that have undergone extensive aqueous alteration, providing insights into the evolution of primitive planetesimals. Oued Chebeika 002 is the most pristine CI chondrite to date.

Stable Stratification of the Helium Rain Layer Yields Vastly Different Interiors and Magnetic Fields for Jupiter and Saturn

The Planetary Science Journal
At sufficiently high pressures (∼Mbar) and low temperatures (∼10 ^3 –10 ^4 K), hydrogen and helium become partly immiscible. Interpretations of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s magnetic fields favor the existence of a statically stable layer near the Mbar pressure
