Electron microscopy observations of the diversity of Ryugu organic matter and its relationship to minerals at the micro‐ to nano‐scale

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 2023-2043, August 2024.
Abstract Transmission electron microscopy analyses of Hayabusa2 samples show that Ryugu organic matter exhibits a range of morphologies, elemental compositions, and carbon functional chemistries consistent with those of carbonaceous chondrites that have experienced low‐temperature aqueous alteration.

Gas-phase Molecules in Protoplanetary Nebulae with the 21 μm Emission Feature

The Astronomical Journal
It has been more than 30 years since the enigmatic 21 μ m emission feature was first discovered in protoplanetary nebulae (PPNs). Although dozens of different dust carrier candidates have been proposed, there is as yet no widely accepted one.

JWST imaging of the closest globular clusters—I. Possible infrared excess among white dwarfs in NGC 6397

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of the globular cluster NGC 6397 and use them to extend to infrared wavelengths the characterization of the cluster's entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS). The data allows us to probe fundamental astrophysical WD properties and to search for evidence in their colors for (or against ...

Commentary on the role of polyoxometalates in nature cybernetic loop

Natural Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 2-3, June-July 2024.
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are both synthetic and naturally occurring coordination compounds. In the biosphere, POMs can participate in many different life‐determining geochemical and biological processes. Future interdisciplinary research on POMs may reveal their potential for prebiotic and abiotic chemistry, as well as for the development of artificial ...

SN 2022jox: An Extraordinarily Ordinary Type II SN with Flash Spectroscopy

The Astrophysical Journal
We present high-cadence optical and ultraviolet (UV) observations of the Type II supernova (SN), SN 2022jox which exhibits early spectroscopic high-ionization flash features of H i , He ii , C iv , and N iv that disappear within the first few days after ...

The deep eclipses of RW Aur revisited by long‐term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.
Abstract RW Aurigae is a young stellar system containing a classical T Tauri star as the primary component. It shows deep, irregular dimmings, first detected in 2010. At the University Observatory Jena, we carried out optical follow‐up observations. We performed multiband (BVRI) photometry of the system with the Cassegrain‐Teleskop‐Kamera II and the ...

High-resolution Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of the B[e] Supergiant LHA 115-S 18: Discovery of Hot Water Vapor Emission

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The post-main-sequence evolution of massive stars involves phases of intense, often eruptive mass loss, including the B[e] supergiant phase. These hot stars are surrounded by cool, dense circumstellar disks that host complex chemistry, producing both ...

Limitations of the modified blackbody fit method for determining molecular cloud properties

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.
Abstract Achieving a comprehensive understanding of the star and planet formation process is one of the fundamental tasks of astrophysics, requiring detailed knowledge of the physical conditions during the different phases of this process. During the earliest stages, that is, concerning physical processes in molecular clouds and filaments, the column ...
