The Architectural Design Rules of Solar Systems based on the New Perspective
On the basis of the Lunar Laser Ranging Data released by NASA on the Silver Jubilee Celebration of Man Landing on Moon on 21st July 1969-1994, theoretical formulation of Earth-Moon tidal interaction was carried out and Planetary Satellite Dynamics was ...

Abstract The identification and evaluation of abiotic methane remain an active research area due to uncertainties in traditional indicators that may lead to “false‐positive” detections. As an emerging isotopic tool, methane clumped isotope can provide novel information about the generation and post‐generation processes of methane gases.

The HD 191939 Exoplanet System is Well Aligned and Flat
We report the sky-projected spin–orbit angle λ for HD 191939 b, the innermost planet in a six-planet system, using Keck/KPF to detect the Rossiter–McLaughlin (RM) effect.

Abstract Thermophysical properties of silicate liquids under extreme conditions are critical for understanding the accretion and evolution of super‐Earths and sub‐Neptunes. The thermal equation of state and viscosity of silicate liquids determine the adiabatic profiles and dynamics of magma oceans. However, these properties are challenging to constrain

Bayesian analysis of interiors of HD 219134b, Kepler-10b, Kepler-93b, CoRoT-7b, 55 Cnc e, and HD 97658b using stellar abundance proxies [PDF]
Using a generalized Bayesian inference method, we aim to explore the possible interior structures of six selected exoplanets for which planetary mass and radius measurements are available in addition to stellar host abundances: HD~219134b, Kepler-10b ...

Abstract We investigate Mercury's response to rare, low Alfvénic Mach number MA $\left({M}_{A}\right)$ solar wind conditions using observations from the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission. This study provides compelling evidence of Mercury's altered magnetospheric state under these extreme conditions ...

Astrometry of directly imaged exoplanets with optical interferometry
Optical interferometry has always been seen as a promising but difficult technique for astronomy. Until the year 2018, it was excrucially limited in sensitivity to magnitudes below 10.

Is OSSO a Significant Contributor to the Unknown UV Absorber in Venus' Atmosphere?
Abstract It has been proposed that two isomers of the SO dimer (cis‐ and trans‐OSSO) are candidates for the unknown UV absorber in Venus' atmosphere because they have a good spectral match with the absorber, despite the low concentrations predicted by 1D photochemical models.
