Not So Fast: A New Catalog of Meteor Persistent Trains

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 129, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract This paper presents the results of a nearly 2‐year long campaign to detect and analyze meteor persistent trains (PTs)—self‐emitting phenomena which can linger up to an hour after their parent meteor. The modern understanding of PTs has been primarily developed from the Leonid storms at the turn of the century; our goal was to assess the ...

Col-OSSOS: Investigating the Origins of Different Surfaces in the Primordial Kuiper Belt

The Planetary Science Journal
The Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (Col-OSSOS) measured the optical/near-IR colors of a brightness-complete sample of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs).

Recently Identified Mesoproterozoic Strata in South‐Central Idaho Document Late‐Stage Rifting of the Nuna Supercontinent in Western Laurentia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Sedimentary basins are valuable archives of tectonic processes involved in continental rifting. The northern Rocky Mountains preserve the Belt Supergroup, one of the most complete records of Mesoproterozoic strata on Earth; however, debate remains about its tectonic origin.

A Broad Set of Solar and Cosmochemical Data Indicates High C-N-O Abundances for the Solar System

The Astrophysical Journal
We examine the role of refractory organics as a major C carrier in the outer protosolar nebula and its implications for the compositions of large Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) and CI chondrites.

Long-Term Dynamics And The Orbital Inclinations Of The Classical

, 2007
We numerically integrated the orbits of 1458 particles in the region of the classical Kuiper belt (41 AU a 47 AU) to explore the role of dynamical instabilities in sculpting the inclination distribution of the classical Kuiper belt objects (KBOs).

Icy ocean worlds, plumes, and tasting the water

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1385-1406, June 2024.
Abstract This paper considers how space missions that fly through the plumes known, or suspected, to erupt naturally from some icy ocean worlds (IOW), such as Enceladus, or that aim to intercept icy ejecta from impact cratering processes on such bodies can sample the water and ice within the plumes.

Prominent Mid-infrared Excess of the Dwarf Planet (136472) Makemake Discovered by JWST/MIRI Indicates Ongoing Activity

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report on the discovery of a very prominent mid-infrared (18–25 μ m) excess associated with the trans-Neptunian dwarf planet (136472) Makemake. The excess, detected by the Mid-Infrared Instrument of the James Webb Space Telescope, along with previous ...

The Largest Kuiper Belt Objects

, 2008
While for the first decade of the study of the Kuiper belt, a gap existed between the sizes of the relatively small and faint Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) that were being studied and the largest known KBO.

Neogene‐Recent Reactivation of Pre‐Existing Faults in South‐Central Vietnam, With Implications for the Extrusion of Indochina

Tectonics, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Vietnam contains complex faults coupled with a diffuse igneous province that has been active since the mid‐Miocene. However, existing fault maps demonstrate little consensus over the location of Neogene basalt flows and relative ages of mapped faults, which complicates interpretations of tectonic model for the evolution of Indochina.

Thermal evolution and differentiation of Edgeworth-Kuiper belt objects

, 2001
The region beyond Neptune's orbit is populated by numerous bodies with semimajor axes from 31 to 48 AU. This region, known as the Kuiper belt, should contain primitive bodies, perhaps among the most primitive objects in the solar system.
