The Bochum Survey of the Southern Galactic Disk: III. Complete Data Release

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Southern Galactic Disk Survey (GDS) monitored a mosaic of 268 fields along a 6°$$ {6}^{{}^{\circ}} $$‐wide stripe in the southern Galactic disk with simultaneous observations in r′$$ {r}^{\prime } $$ and i′$$ {i}^{\prime } $$ (7m≲r′,i′≲18m$$ {7}^{\mathrm{m}}\lesssim {r}^{\prime },{i}^{\prime}\lesssim {18}^{\mathrm{m}} $$) from September ...

From Methane to Nanodiamond Precursors in Water: Superacid‐like Condensation Pathways Under Extreme Conditions

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 3, 16 January 2026.
Under extreme pressure and temperature, superionic water acts as a strong superacid, catalyzing methane polycondensation through pentacoordinated carbonium ions (CH5+). This discovery reveals the non‐classical carbocation chemistry underlying the early stages of diamond formation in water under extreme conditions.

Magnetic Evolution of Super‐Earth Exoplanets With a Basal Magma Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Habitability of super‐Earths likely requires self‐sustained magnetic fields to shield their atmospheres from stellar forcing. Extreme pressures and temperatures probably produce a long‐lived basal magma ocean (BMO), a potential source for these fields.

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 ...

TOI-1695 b: A Water World Orbiting an Early-M Dwarf in the Planet Radius Valley

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Characterizing the bulk compositions of transiting exoplanets within the M dwarf radius valley offers a unique means to establish whether the radius valley emerges from an atmospheric mass-loss process or is imprinted by planet formation itself.

JWST Discovers the Vertical Structure of Uranus' Ionosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract On 19 January 2025, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) program # $\mathrm{\#}$5073 observed Uranus for almost a full rotation with NIRSpec. We present the first ever vertical ionospheric profiles of H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ temperature, volumetric density and total emission.

The Formation of Ultra-short-period Planets under the Influence of the Nearby Planetary Companions

The Astrophysical Journal
Ultra-short-period (USP) planets, defined as those with orbital periods shorter than 1 day, provide valuable insights into planetary evolution under strong stellar tidal interactions.

Boundary Layers of Circumplanetary Disks around Spinning Planets. I. Effects of Rossby Waves

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Gas giant planets are believed to accrete from their circumplanetary disks (CPDs). The CPDs usually involve accretion through the boundary layer (BL) in the vicinity of planets. Prior studies have concentrated on the BL of nonspinning planets.

High Pressure Formation of the Eight‐Fold Coordinated Post‐Post Spinel MgFe2O4

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract MgFe2O4 was probed to 74(1) GPa and 2,840(130) K as a low‐pressure analog to post‐post spinel Mg2SiO4 predicted in super‐Earths using synchrotron multigrain X‐ray diffraction techniques in the laser‐heated diamond anvil cell. With high‐temperatures above 65 GPa the eight‐fold coordinated δ‐MgFe2O4 (Th3P4‐type) is stable with Mg and Fe ...
