Cascading Dark Energy

The Astrophysical Journal
The standard cosmological model is in the midst of a stress test, thanks to the tension between supernova-based measurements of the Hubble constant H _0 and inferences of its values from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies.

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...

The Hubble Constant from Blue Type Ia Supernovae

The Astrophysical Journal
There is a persistent tension of about 5 σ –6 σ between the value of the Hubble constant, as derived from the local distance ladder versus the cosmic microwave background, signaling either unaccounted for systematics in the measurements or “new physics,”

Non‐Migrating Thermal Tides in the Martian Lower Atmosphere Observed by EMM/EMIRS

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Thermal tides significantly influence Martian atmospheric dynamics and radiative transfer. However, the excitation mechanisms of non‐migrating tides, exhibiting diverse spatial structures, remain poorly understood due to the limited number of observations.

Mineralogical Characterization of the Lunar South Polar Region: 2. Exploring Mafic‐Bearing Targets With Optimized Traverse Paths at Mons Kocher

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Several national space agencies and commercial entities are currently targeting the Moon's south polar region for human and robotic exploration. Of particular interest are materials excavated and ejected from the Moon's largest and oldest impact structure, the South Pole‐Aitken Basin (SPA), as these ancient materials are a window into the ...

Lateral Variations in Lunar Crustal Thickness Inferred From Apollo Seismic and GRAIL Gravity Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The internal structure of the Moon is key to understanding its formation, evolution, and bulk composition. In particular, determining the structure of the crust–mantle interface (Moho), including its lateral variations, is of significant importance, but current knowledge is still insufficient to fully constrain it.

Impact Plasma Amplification of the Ancient Mercury Magnetic Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Spacecraft measurements of Mercury indicate that it has a core dynamo with a surface field of 200–800 nT. These data also indicate that the northern hemisphere crust contains remanent magnetization likely produced by an ancient magnetic field. The inferred magnetization intensity is consistent with a wide range of paleofield strengths (0.2–50 ...

Origin of Late Noachian‐Early Hesperian Valley Networks on Mars: Insights From Landform Evolution and Ice Sheet Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Dendritic valley networks on Mars have been cited as evidence for a warm and wet Noachian Mars, permitting rainfall precipitation and surface runoff. However, the climatic conditions required to sustain rainfall on early Mars remain debated.

The Impact of the Sulfur Allotropes and Sulfur Hydrides on the Venus Cloud Chemistry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Venus is home to vivid sulfur chemistry, with SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$ as the major sulfur gas species and a global cloud layer between 47 and 70 km composed of H2SO4 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\text{SO}}_{4}$ and H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O. The chemistry in the clouds has been extensively studied with 1D models, but none is able to reproduce the three orders

On the Effects of Parameters on Galaxy Properties in CAMELS and the Predictability of Ωm

The Astrophysical Journal
Recent analyses of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations from CAMELS have shown that machine learning models can predict the parameter describing the total matter content of the universe, Ω _m , from the features of a single galaxy.
