Runaway Growth During Planet Formation: Explaining the Size Distribution of Large Kuiper Belt Objects [PDF]

, 2010
Runway growth is an important stage in planet formation during which large protoplanets form, while most of the initial mass remains in small planetesimals.

The Transition to Tectonic Control of Magmatism in the East African Rift System—The 20 Ma Samburu Event

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Samburu Series magmas of the East African Rift System are a key component of the Early Miocene magmatic resurgence, marking the initiation of plate‐scale volcanic events associated with extension, distinct from the prior continental flood basalt episodes.

Spectral Diversity of DiSCo’s TNOs Revealed by JWST: Early Sculpting and Late Irradiation

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The spectral diversity of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) is crucial for understanding the processes that led to the formation and evolution of planetesimals in the outer solar system. Using near-IR (NIR) spectra obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope

The Plane of the Kuiper Belt [PDF]

, 2004
We present a robust method for measuring the effective plane of the Kuiper belt. The derived plane has an inclination with respect to the ecliptic of 1º.86 and an ascending node of 81º.6, with a 1 σ error in pole position of the plane of 0º.37. The plane

Neural canal ridges: A novel osteological correlate of postcranial neuroanatomy in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 5, Page 1349-1368, May 2025.
Abstract In this article, we document the widespread presence of bony ridges in the neural canals of non‐avian dinosaurs, including a wide diversity of sauropods, two theropods, a thyreophoran, and a hadrosaur. These structures are present only in the caudal vertebrae.

Evolution and architecture of an exhumed ocean‐facing coarse‐grained submarine canyon fill, Baja California, Mexico

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 189-226, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Present day submarine canyons are active conduits for the transfer of large volumes of sediment, carbon and pollutants from continents to oceans. However, the evolution of submarine canyons over geological timescales remains poorly understood due to their erosional nature and low preservation potential. The Late Cretaceous Punta Baja Formation

The Thermal Structure and Composition of Jupiter's Great Red Spot From JWST/MIRI

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 129, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) was mapped by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/Mid‐Infrared Instrument (4.9–27.9 μ ${\upmu }$m) in July and August 2022. These observations took place alongside a suite of visual and infrared observations from; Hubble, JWST/NIRCam, Very Large Telescope/VISIR and amateur observers which provided both spatial ...
