Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract In the search for life on Mars, understanding the origin of preserved organics is critical. Expected sources include exogenous delivery, endogenous synthesis, and potentially life. Environmental processing by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can alter these organics, obscuring hallmarks of their origin. To deconvolve these effects, we conducted an

Description and terrestrial ages of the Calama Area Meteorite Collection (Atacama Desert, Chile)
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract We present a comprehensive study of a meteorite collection from the Atacama Desert (Chile), the driest and most climatically stable desert in the world. This collection includes meteorites from three adjacent Dense Collection Areas (DCAs) in the northern part of the Atacama Desert: Calama, Sierra Gorda, and Chug Chug, referred to as the ...

Philosophical themes in works of Stanislaw Lem
, 1985 The purpose of this thesis was to examine two works of science fiction by the Polish writer and satirist, Stanislaw Lem, which exemplify two broad philosophical themes central to his writings; viz., cosmology and personhood.

The language of cosmogony: literary experimentalism and metaphor in Plato’s Timaeus and Augustine’s Confessions. [PDF]
, 2010 Literary critical discussions of cosmogony usually examine ideas and assumptions about authorship and poetic creation which are formed in light of inherited models of the world’s creation. Far less attention has been paid to actual representations of the

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Shergottites are the most abundant meteorites from Mars and a major source of information on magma reservoirs, transport, and eruption, particularly in the late Hesperian northern hemisphere. Conflicting interpretations have arisen on the crystallization conditions of pyroxene in olivine‐phyric shergottites.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the petrography and mineralogy of three L‐type ordinary chondrite meteorites: Northwest Africa (NWA) 4137 (L6), Homestead (L5), and Kunashak (L6). We studied the shock‐related deformation features in the matrix and the characteristics of the melt veins, including the presence or absence of high‐pressure (HP) phases. Our

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract We report on the petrography and oxygen isotopic compositions from in situ analyses of carbonates (Ca‐carbonate, dolomite, and Fe‐rich magnesite), magnetite, and apatite in particles from asteroid Bennu. Using oxygen isotope thermometry of Ca‐carbonate, dolomite, and magnetite, we estimated crystallization temperatures and the oxygen isotopic ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Boron and lithium have been observed in Ca‐sulfate veins of Gale crater. These elements are highly water mobile and can inform us regarding the aqueous processes that may have taken place in Gale crater. However, the analysis of B in Gale crater is limited to low‐Fe rocks and minerals due to spectral interference of Fe with B in ChemCam data ...
