Abundant microchondrules in 162173 Ryugu suggest a turbulent origin for primitive asteroids [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsChondrules are a characteristic feature of primitive Solar System materials and are common in all primitive meteorites except the CI-chondrites. They are thought to form owing to melting of solid dust aggregates by energetic processing within the solar ...

Main Belt Comets and other “Interlopers” in the Solar System
Universe, 2022 According to traditional ideas about the formation of the Solar System starting from a protoplanetary disk of gas and dust, a well-defined distribution of planets and minor bodies is expected: (a) volatile-poor rocky bodies (terrestrial planets and ...

Quantifying the Key Factors Affecting the Escape of Planetary Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The habitability of Earth-like planets is an increasingly important subject in astrophysics and in planetary sciences. Atmospheric escape plays a vital role in the evolution of the habitability of Earth-like planets.

Extended Rift‐Associated Volcanism in Ganis Chasma, Venus Detected From Magellan Radar Emissivity
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Exploration of Venus in the 1970–1990s revealed that the geology of Venus, the most Earth‐like of the terrestrial planets, was decidedly un‐Earth‐like, with no plate tectonics, and no record of the first 80% of its history.

Hotspot of glyoxal over the Pearl River delta seen from the OMI satellite instrument: implications for emissions of aromatic hydrocarbons [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 The Pearl River delta (PRD) is a densely populated hub of industrial activity located in southern China. OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) satellite observations reveal a large hotspot of glyoxal (CHOCHO) over the PRD that is almost twice as large as ...

Monitoring high-ozone events in the US Intermountain West using TEMPO geostationary satellite observations [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 High-ozone events, approaching or exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), are frequently observed in the US Intermountain West in association with subsiding air from the free troposphere. Monitoring and attribution of these events is

Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal, 2023 Five hundred years ago the Roman Catholic Church wrongly opposed science. In my fifty years as a scientist, I have observed the Catholic Church reaching out to science, wholly unaware of widespread corruption and cartel-like behavior under guise of science, which leads, I allege, to the Vatican aiding and abetting activities that are not only anti ...

Revisiting Orbital Evolution in HAT-P-2 b and Confirmation of HAT-P-2 c
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 One possible formation mechanism for Hot Jupiters is that high-eccentricity gas giants experience tidal interactions with their host star that cause them to lose orbital energy and migrate inwards.

An Ancient Martian Dynamo Driven by Hemispheric Heating: Effect of Thermal Boundary Conditions
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Magnetic field observations from the MGS, MAVEN, and InSight missions reveal that a dynamo was active in Mars’s early history. One unique feature of Mars’s magnetic crustal field is its hemispheric dichotomy, where magnetic fields in the southern ...
