The Length of Martian Crater Rays and Their Relation to Lunar Cold Spots

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Impact‐generated crater rays are well‐documented on the Moon, with most appearing as high‐albedo streaks extending radially from a crater's center. On Mars, however, crater rays are significantly rarer and discernible only through thermal imaging due to their lower thermal inertia compared to surrounding terrain.

The Role of Magmatic Styles in Planetary Thermal Evolution Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Previous studies that investigated the effects of magmatism on the interior dynamics, in particular for Earth‐sized planets, suggest that magmatism leads to more efficient mantle cooling. However, the extent to which different magmatic styles influence the thermal evolution of planets, and in particular smaller rocky bodies, has not yet been ...

Validation of ANCHOR Ionospheric Data Assimilation Model Using GIRO Ionosondes Within PyVALION Software

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate specification of the ionosphere is essential for mitigating the impacts of space weather on communication, navigation, and surveillance systems. ANCHOR is a newly developed ionospheric data assimilation (DA) model from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory that fuses measurements from ionosondes, radio occultation, and Global Navigation ...

Assessment of Spacecraft Internal Charging in the Earth's Outer Radiation Belt

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The internal charging effects triggered by energetic (>100 keV) electrons in the Earth's radiation belts can cause anomalies and failures of electronic components aboard spacecraft. Given the critical importance of safeguarding space assets, it is essential to estimate internal charging risks, which depend highly on the distribution of ...

Massive Rocky Planets May Suppress Deep Melting

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Melting properties of silicates are critical to understanding the thermal evolution of rocky planetary interiors. In the deep mantles of massive rocky planets, post‐post‐spinel Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{2}{\text{SiO}}_{4}$ is potentially one of the most abundant mineral phases, yet its melting behavior remains unconstrained. Here, we determine the

Beyond the Electrostatic Approach: Numerical Simulations of Martian Ionospheric Irregularities

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract Numerical simulations play an essential role in the study of ionospheric irregularities. In the past few decades, electrostatic simulations have successfully simulated the nonlinear evolution of terrestrial ionospheric irregularities. However, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) observations reveal that the Martian ionospheric ...

Bidirectional Energy Transfer via Simultaneous Wave‐Particle Resonances in Inhomogeneous Space Plasmas

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Wave‐particle resonance is a key mechanism for energy transfer in collisionless plasmas with important implications for wave excitation and particle acceleration. Cyclotron resonance occurs when a particle's gyromotion synchronizes with the wave fields, with their interactions usually describable by quasilinear diffusion or nonlinear trapping.

Are Modern Droughts Unprecedented?

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract Global drought variability of past centuries remains poorly understood due to sparse instrumental records and limited paleoclimate reconstructions. Yet, quantifying long‐term forced and unforced variability is key for assessing the extremeness of modern (2000–2024) drought events.

A GRACE/‐FO‐Based Framework for Improved Reproduction of Water‐Balance‐Constrained Evapotranspiration Across Hydroclimatic Regimes

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Diagnosing monthly evapotranspiration (ET) under water‐balance constraints is essential for understanding land‐atmosphere interactions and managing water resources under changing climate conditions. Since 2002, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its successor GRACE Follow‐On (GRACE/‐FO) missions have provided precise ...

A Physics‐Based Frequency‐Temperature Seismic Anelastic Attenuation Model for Planetary Ice Shells

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Intrinsic attenuation in planetary ices remains poorly constrained at seismic frequencies and low temperatures, limiting quantitative predictions of wave propagation in icy moons. Existing models typically rely on constant‐Q, or power‐law formulations that lack microphysical grounding and fail to capture the strong temperature sensitivity of ...
