Laboratory exploration of mineral precipitates from Europa's subsurface ocean
Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1455-1479, October 2021., 2021 Precipitation experiments from a model Europan ocean solution subjected to fast and slow freezing suggest that the highly hydrated Na–Mg sulfate phase Na2Mg(SO4)2·16H2O is one of the lowest‐temperature mineral phases likely to be stable on Europa's surface and may therefore be astrobiologically significant.The precipitation of hydrated phases from a ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021 Abstract The origin of the interstellar object 1I/‘Oumuamua has defied explanation. In a companion paper (Jackson & Desch, 2021), we show that a body of N2 ice with axes 45 m × 44 m × 7.5 m at the time of observation would be consistent with its albedo, nongravitational acceleration, and lack of observed CO or CO2 or dust.

The Cusp–Core Problem in Gas-Poor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Galaxies, 2021 This review deals with the inconsistency of inner dark matter density profiles in dwarf galaxies, known as the cusp–core problem. In particular, we aim to focus on gas-poor dwarf galaxies.

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the faintest baryonic systems recognized as galaxies. Understanding the structure and stellar populations of these systems is critical for the modelling of their formation and evolution, and by extension, for understanding the general problem of galaxy formation ...

The quest for dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the best environments that can be studied with Cherenkov telescopes for indirect searches of γ-ray signals coming from dark matter self-interaction (annihilation or decay), due to their proximity and negligible ...

Dark satellites and the morphology of dwarf galaxies [PDF]
, 2012 One of the strongest predictions of the LambdaCDM cosmological model is the presence of dark satellites orbiting all types of galaxies. We focus here on the dynamical effects of such satellites on disky dwarf galaxies, and demonstrate that these ...

Abundance Analysis of Stars at Large Radius in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the stellar parameters and chemical abundances of 30 elements for five stars located at large radii (3.5–10.7 times the half-light radius) in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We selected these stars using proper motions, radial velocities,

Young Globular Clusters and Dwarf Spheroidals [PDF]
, 1999 Most of the globular clusters in the main body of the Galactic halo were formed almost simultaneously. However, globular cluster formation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies appears to have extended over a significant fraction of a Hubble time.
