Impact of Thermal Weathering on Mercury's Reflectance

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 9, 16 May 2025.
Abstract MErcury Surface, Space ENviroment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) observations suggest that sulfur‐bearing minerals are key components of Mercury's surface. These minerals have been proposed to explain the strong concave downward curvature between 300 and 600 nm in MESSENGER reflectance spectra of the hollows.

Untrackable distal ejecta on planetary surfaces

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Heterogeneous shock impedances of planetary materials cause abrupt changes of ejection angles, forming non-radial ejecta. Interpretations for provenances of surface deposits and ages derived from crater counts are affected by such untrackable ejecta.

Expansion Velocity of Ejecta in Tycho's Supernova Remnant Measured by Doppler Broadened X-ray Line Emission

open access: yes, 2010
We show that the expansion of ejecta in Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR) is consistent with a spherically symmetric shell, based on Suzaku measurements of the Doppler broadened X-ray emission lines. All the strong K_alpha line emission show broader widths

Small-Scale X-ray Variability in the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A comparison of X-ray observations of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant taken in 2000, 2002, and 2004 with the Chandra ACIS-S3 reveals the presence of several small scale features (

Dynamical mass ejection from black hole-neutron star binaries [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. D 92, 044028 (2015), 2015
We investigate properties of material ejected dynamically in the merger of black hole-neutron star binaries by numerical-relativity simulations. We systematically study the dependence of ejecta properties on the mass ratio of the binary, spin of the black hole, and equation of state of the neutron-star matter.

Mega-ejecta on asteroid Vesta [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2011
[1] Asteroid 4 Vesta, sometimes called the “smallest terrestrial planet”, will be orbited next July by NASA's Dawn mission. This will be the first time a small planet is visited by a spacecraft, and novel geological structures are expected. A key issue regarding Vesta (mean diameter 530 km) is to what extent its geology is dominated by the ∼460 km ...

A Laser Ablation ICP‐MS Protocol for High‐Resolution Iodine‐to‐Calcium Ratio (I/Ca) Analysis on Corals

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 39, Issue 9, 15 May 2025.
ABSTRACT Rationale Corals are continuous, time‐resolved archives of ambient seawater geochemistry and can extend climate records beyond direct monitoring. The iodine‐to‐calcium (I/Ca) ratio may be a proxy for local oxygen depletion in corals, but the current solution‐based ICP‐MS protocol limits sampling resolution.

Effect of impact angles on ejecta and crater shape of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 targets in hypervelocity impacts

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
The effect of the impact angle of projectiles on the crater shape and ejecta in thick aluminum alloy targets was investigated in hypervelocity impacts.

Hubble Space Telescope Proper Motion Measurements of Supernova Remnant N132D: Center of Expansion and Age

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present proper motion measurements of the oxygen-rich ejecta of the LMC supernova remnant N132D using two epochs of Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys data spanning 16 years.

X-Ray Emitting Ejecta of Supernova Remnant N132D

open access: yes, 2007
The brightest supernova remnant in the Magellanic Clouds, N132D, belongs to the rare class of oxygen-rich remnants, about a dozen objects that show optical emission from pure heavy-element ejecta.
