Combustion and Pyrolysis EA‐IRMS Techniques to Determine the δ2H of Diamonds
ABSTRACT Rationale Diamonds are generally considered to be metasomatic minerals originating from the Earth's mantle. They formed through the interaction of carbon‐bearing fluids or melts with the surrounding deep lithology. Most knowledge about the formation of diamonds comes from studying their mineral inclusions or stable isotopes.

Gas Sources from the Coma and Nucleus of Comet 46P/Wirtanen Observed Using ALMA
Gas-phase molecules in cometary atmospheres (comae) originate primarily from (1) outgassing by the nucleus, (2) sublimation of icy grains in the near-nucleus coma, and (3) coma (photo)chemical processes.

Abstract The Lunar Trailblazer smallsat mission High‐resolution Volatiles and Minerals Moon Mapper (HVM3) science instrument was designed to acquire targeted spectral image cubes of the lunar surface at visible to shortwave infrared (VSWIR) wavelengths (0.6–3.6 μm) in an effort to understand the distribution, abundance, and form (OH, H2O, ice) of lunar

Abstract The lunar south pole features permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) that never receive direct sunlight. These regions maintain cold temperatures that potentially trap and accumulate volatiles over geologic timescales. Within NASA's Artemis candidate landing regions, we identified 130 candidate landing sites (CLSs) that satisfy the Human Landing ...

Cold Deuterium Fractionation in the Nearest Planet-forming Disk
Deuterium fractionation provides a window into the thermal history of volatiles in the solar system and protoplanetary disks. While evidence of active molecular deuteration has been observed toward a handful of disks, it remains unclear whether this ...

Exposures in Indoor Air Affecting Health
ABSTRACT Indoor air quality (IAQ) is influenced by a wide range of chemical, biological and physical agents that can negatively impact physical, immunological and mental health. Adverse health effects depend on the type and concentration of pollutants, duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility.

Evidence for depletion of heavy silicon isotopes at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko [PDF]
Context. The Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis (ROSINA) was designed to measure the composition of the gas in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the target of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission.

The Volatile Composition of Comet 17P/Holmes after Its Extraordinary Outburst
The volatile abundances in comet 17P/Holmes were measured on three dates (UT 2007 October 27.6 and 31.3 and November 2.3) using high-dispersion (λ/Δ λ ~ 2.5 × 104) infrared spectroscopy with NIRSPEC at the W. M. Keck Observatory and CSHELL at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility.

Amorphous ice is understood to be the predominant phase of water in cometary nuclei. A significant number of other volatiles can be trapped in amorphous H _2 O ice and released during the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition (ACPT).

The Challenge of Icy Sample Return Begins With Artemis
Abstract Throughout the Solar System, volatiles are found as solid ices. Returning ices to Earth for scientific analysis is critical to understanding the formation of a Solar System that bears life. This challenge begins with the Artemis missions to the lunar south polar region, where the coldest lunar regolith is enriched in H2O and other ices—systems
