Ionization-bounded and Density-bounded Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
Planetary nebulae (and in general any photoionized region) can be classified as ionization-bounded or density-bounded. It is important to determine in which case is the planetary nebula studied to be able to estimate from nebular observations, for example, the total rate of ionizing photons produced by the central star.

Abstract We propose a new method for automatically identifying radiation belt electron enhancement events using Ca, a ground‐based 1D surrogate index for the global dynamics of the electron radiation belts. Our method improves event identification by accurately determining start and end dates, considering intensification and return‐to‐equilibrium ...

Abstract The identification and evaluation of abiotic methane remain an active research area due to uncertainties in traditional indicators that may lead to “false‐positive” detections. As an emerging isotopic tool, methane clumped isotope can provide novel information about the generation and post‐generation processes of methane gases.

Abundance determinations in HII regions and planetary nebulae [PDF]
The methods of abundance determinations in HII regions and planetary nebulae are described, with emphasis on the underlying assumptions and inherent problems. Recent results on abundances in Galactic HII regions and in Galactic and extragalactic Planetary Nebulae are reviewed.

Abstract Sediment transported to fjords is redistributed by turbidity currents and sometimes fails on steep sidewall slopes, forming marine geohazards that are known to impact infrastructure. Since marine geohazards are poorly understood in Arctic Fjords due to lack of data and monitoring, a comprehensive study of Southwind Fjord, Baffin Island, was ...

Calculation of Synthetic Ionizing Spectra for Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
We present a new grid (solar and halo abundance ratios) of state-of-the-art fully line-blanketed NLTE model atmospheres which covers the parameter range of central stars of planetary nebulae. The grid is available at the WWW.

Linking Cenozoic Magmatism in the North‐Central Tibetan Plateau With Plateau Growth
Abstract Accurate reconstruction of paleo‐crustal and lithospheric thicknesses is crucial for understanding the deep geodynamic processes driving the uplift and growth of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and their association with Cenozoic magmatism. We reconstruct the Cenozoic crustal thickness evolution of the north‐central TP using a machine learning model ...

Abstract High silica granites may host major rare metal deposits. The petrogenesis of these granites, some of which have very low Zr/Hf, Nb/Ta, and Eu/Eu* ratios, has been highly debated. The existing views mainly favor either extreme magmatic fractionation or fluid‐magma interaction.

Investigating the Lid Effect on the Generation of Ocean Island Basalts: 2. Geodynamical Simulations
Abstract The concept that oceanic lithosphere mechanically limits upwelling and decompression melting of mantle plumes is known as the lid effect and is backed up by observations of ocean island basalt (OIB) geochemistry. Nevertheless, in a recent companion study on OIB geochemistry, several additional factors were identified that further influence OIB
