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 ...

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.

Effects of Hydrogen on Fe‐S Alloys and Their Implications for the Martian Core
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Meteorites suggest the Martian core comprises iron (Fe) or iron‐nickel (Fe‐Ni) alloy with sulfur (S) identified as the primary light element. The InSight data revealed a larger, less dense Martian core than previously estimated, indicating additional light elements.

Investigating the Origins of Hot Neptunes from Radial Velocity Data
The Astronomical JournalHot Neptunes are extrasolar planets that are similar in size to Neptune in our solar system but are much closer to their host stars, completing an orbit in 10 days or less. The origin of hot Neptunes is not fully understood.

On the Local Formation of the TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets
The Astronomical JournalAbstract The discovery of seven approximately Earth-mass planets orbiting the 0.09 M ⊙ M dwarf TRAPPIST-1 captivated the public and sparked a proliferation of investigations into the system’s origins. Among other properties, the resonant architecture of the planets has been interpreted to imply that orbital migration ...

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.

Formation of Close-in Neptunes around Low-mass Stars through Breaking Resonant Chains
The Astrophysical JournalConventional planet formation theories predict a paucity of massive planets around small stars, especially very low-mass (0.1−0.3 M _⊙ ) mid-to-late M dwarfs. Such tiny stars are expected to form planets of terrestrial sizes but not much bigger. However,

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 URANUS AND NEPTUNE: CHALLENGES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERMEDIATE-MASS EXOPLANETS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 In this paper we investigate the formation of Uranus and Neptune, according to the core-nucleated accretion model, considering formation locations ranging from 12 to 30 AU from the Sun, and with various disk solid-surface densities and core accretion rates.

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 ...
