Petrography of phosphates in CI and CY carbonaceous chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Phosphate minerals are significant carriers of volatiles (e.g., OH) and halogens in chondritic material; however, their origin in most groups of carbonaceous chondrites remains poorly characterized. We have determined the abundance, morphology, texture, and composition of phosphate grains in aqueously altered CI chondrites and in hydrated and ...

Near-Earth Supernova Explosions: Evidence, Implications, and Opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
There is now solid experimental evidence of at least one supernova explosion within 100 pc of Earth within the last few million years, from measurements of the short-lived isotope ⁶⁰Fe in widespread deep-ocean samples, as well as in the lunar regolith ...

Planet Populations as a Function of Stellar Properties

open access: yes, 2018
Exoplanets around different types of stars provide a window into the diverse environments in which planets form. This chapter describes the observed relations between exoplanet populations and stellar properties and how they connect to planet formation ...

Dynamics of the solar tachocline [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Douglas Gough & Michael McIntyre proposed, in 1998, the first global and self-consistent model of the solar tachocline. Their model is however far more complex than analytical methods can deal with. In order to validate their work and show how well it can indeed represent the tachocline dynamics, I report on progress in the construction of a fully ...

Cosmic ray exposure and gas retention ages of the shocked angrite Northwest Africa 7203: Implications for a collisional history of angrites' parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Angrites and eucrites are among the oldest basaltic rocks in the solar system. However, the shock histories of these meteorite groups differ markedly, as most angrites show little to no evidence of shock metamorphism. While some angrites exhibit weak wavy extinction in olivine, indicative of low‐level shock, only two—Northwest Africa (NWA ...

Helioseismology and Asteroseismology: Looking for Gravitational Waves in acoustic oscillations

open access: yes, 2014
Current helioseismology observations allow the determination of the frequencies and surface velocity amplitudes of solar acoustic modes with exceptionally high precision. In some cases, the frequency accuracy is better than one part in a million. We show

Gravitational Wave (GW) Classification, Space GW Detection Sensitivities and AMIGO (Astrodynamical Middle-frequency Interferometric GW Observatory) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
After first reviewing the gravitational wave (GW) spectral classification. we discuss the sensitivities of GW detection in space aimed at low frequency band (100 nHz-100 mHz) and middle frequency band (100 mHz-10 Hz).

3D SR‐μXCT analysis for lithology detection: Application to Ryugu sample A0159

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Extraterrestrial breccia samples are formed through impact‐related processes that combine the fragments of distinct lithologies. As such, they are valuable indicators of the complex formation and evolution history of planetesimals in our solar system.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Women Scientists Who Made Nuclear Astrophysics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Female role models reduce the impact on women of stereotype threat, i.e., of being at risk of conforming to a negative stereotype about one's social, gender, or racial group [1,2].
