Friends Not Foes: Strong Correlation between Inner Super-Earths and Outer Gas Giants

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The connection between outer gas giants and inner super-Earths reflects their formation and evolutionary histories. Past work exploring this link has suggested a tentative positive correlation between these two populations, but these studies have been ...

Multifluid Equations for MHD

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract A set of magnetohydrodynamic equations is developed for multiple ion species in the limit of small Larmor radius. The derivation proceeds to explicitly calculate the Lorentz force resulting from the small ion drift velocities. The net effect is that in this limit all the ions move perpendicular to the magnetic field with the same E×B $\mathbf ...

The Exoplanet Population Observation Simulator. I - The Inner Edges of Planetary Systems

, 2018
The Kepler survey provides a statistical census of planetary systems out to the habitable zone. Because most planets are non-transiting, orbital architectures are best estimated using simulated observations of ensemble populations.

Long‐Lasting Volcanism of the Moon Aided by the Switch in Dominant Mechanisms of Magma Ascent: Role of Localized Radioactive Enrichment in a Numerical Model of Magmatism and Mantle Convection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 8, 28 April 2025.
Abstract Significant volcanic activity continued for billions of years since 3.5–4 Gyr ago in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT) of the Moon, but not so significant outside the PKT. To understand this volcanic history, we developed a 2‐D numerical model of magmatism and mantle convection; the effects of the PKT on lunar evolution are considered by ...

Space Technology for Directly Imaging and Characterizing Exo-Earths

, 2017
The detection of Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zone of their stars, and their spectroscopic characterization in a search for biosignatures, requires starlight suppression that exceeds the current best ground-based performance by orders of ...

Phase Equilibria of Sub-Neptunes and Super-Earths

The Planetary Science Journal
We investigate the consequences of nonideal chemical interaction between silicate and overlying hydrogen-rich envelopes for rocky planets using basic tenets of phase equilibria.

The role of boundary‐layer friction in modulating midlatitude heatwaves

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 768, April 2025 Part A.
Boundary‐layer friction associated with different surface types plays an important role in modulating heatwaves in the midlatitudes. The main changes in heatwave features occur when locally modifying boundary‐layer friction along the jet‐stream axis. Real‐world differences in the occurrence of heatwaves between different locations in the midlatitudes ...

The Architectural Design Rules of Solar Systems based on the New Perspective

, 2009
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 ...

A Tale of Dynamical Instabilities and Giant Impacts in the Exoplanet Radius Valley

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The size distribution of planets with radii between 1 R _⊕ and 4 R _⊕ peaks near 1.4 R _⊕ and 2.2 R _⊕ , with a dip around 1.8 R _⊕ —the so-called “radius valley.” Recent statistical analyses suggest that planets within this valley (1.5

Tracing the Contribution of Abiotic Methane in Deep Natural Gases From the Songliao Basin, China Using Bulk Isotopes and Methane Clumped Isotopologue 12CH2D2

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
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.
