Pressure as a Limiting Factor for Life

open access: yesLife, 2016
Facts concerning the stability and functioning of key biomolecular components suggest that cellular life should no longer be viable above a few thousand atmospheres (200–300 MPa).

The interaction of the Cretaceous/Tertiary Extinction Bolide with the atmosphere, ocean, and solid Earth

open access: yes, 1982
The mechanics of large-scale (~10-km diameter) asteroidal, cometary, and meteoroid swarm impact onto a silicate Earth covered by water and a gas layer (atmosphere) demonstrate that only ~ 15% to ~ 5% of the energy of 15 to 45 km/s bolides is taken up ...

Meteoric CaO and carbon smoke particles collected in the upper stratosphere from an unanticipated source

open access: yesTellus: Series B, Chemical and Physical Meteorology, 2013
Nanometre CaO and pure carbon smoke particles were collected at 38-km altitude in the upper stratosphere in the Arctic during June 2008 using DUSTER (Dust in the Upper Stratosphere Tracking Experiment and Retrieval).

New insights into the evolutionary history of biological nitrogen fixation

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Nitrogenase, which catalyzes the ATP-dependent reduction of dinitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3), accounts for roughly half of the bioavailable nitrogen supporting extant life.

A search for hydroacoustic signals from bolides

open access: yesIcarus
Here we present a survey aimed at detecting hydroacoustic signals from fireballs using the six hydrophone stations operated as part of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) International Monitoring System. We identified 30 fireballs where propagation paths to stations exist.

A Comparison of Automated Bolide Detection Methods

open access: yes, 2023
Bolide recording and analysis are crucial so meteoroid fragments can be found, a lightcurve analyzed, and its trajectory calculated. The Spalding Allsky Camera Network (SACN) generates videos and composite images of the night sky that are potential ...

The Chesapeake Bay Bolide: Modern Consequences of an Ancient Cataclysm

open access: yes, 1997
This report provides an overview of the Chesapeake Bay bolide and how it influenced the formation of the modern bay. Introductory material discusses what a bolide is, types of impact craters, and recent impacts that have generated public interest.
