Thermal histories of El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155): Implications for the diversity of IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites and their parent bodies

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study provides the first petrographic, crystallographic, and chemical comparison between El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155), two particular IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites. Both contain exceptionally large graphite nodules and “flowers”, providing unique insights into carbon behavior in metallic melts and cooling ...

Composition of Giants 1° North of the Galactic Center: Detailed Abundance Trends for 21 Elements Observed with IGRINS

The Astrophysical Journal
We report the first high-resolution, detailed abundances of 21 elements for giants in the Galactic bulge/bar within 1° of the Galactic plane, where high extinction has rendered such studies challenging. Our high-signal-to-noise-ratio and high-resolution,

A near-infrared stellar atlas of the Galactic plane from the VVVX survey

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey observed the Galactic plane and the outer Galactic bulge in the near-infrared to mitigate the effects of extinction that severely limit optical observations of these regions.

Dynamics of the galactic bulge-bar

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1992
The non‐circular velocities of gas in the inner few degrees of our Galaxy would arise naturally if the Milky Way had a small bar at its center. Recent studies suggest that this bar is more rapidly rotating than had been previously suggested; corotation probably lies near R=2.4 kpc. The circular speed associated with the Galaxy’s monopole component must

Probing the molecular determinants of emission enhancement in RNA aptamer–metal complex systems

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Light up aptamer: fluorophore pairs are widely used in sensing and imaging, with coordination complex fluorophores providing specific benefits due to their long‐lived emission. Here, we examined key structural and electronic features of these metal complexes to identify the requirements for productive engagement with an RNA aptamer.

An HST Wide-field Survey of the Galactic Bulge: Overview, Strategy, and First Results

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging survey of a 1.1 deg ^2 sky area toward the Milky Way Galactic bulge. This field significantly overlaps with the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey.

Surface Geology and Evolution of Asteroid Ryugu: Insights From Hayabusa2 Global Mapping

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Rubble‐pile asteroids, characterized by loose aggregates of debris held together by gravity, represent both a significant planetary hazard and a key to understanding planetesimal formation. Geologic mapping of these bodies provides essential insights into their origins, evolution, and surface processes.

The Structure, Populations, and Kinematics of the Milky Way Central and Inner Bulge with OGLE, APOGEE, and Gaia Data

The Astrophysical Journal
We present an analysis of the structure, kinematics, and chemo-dynamical properties of the Milky Way bulge using RR Lyrae stars from Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE), and giant stars from APOGEE and Gaia that have distances placing them in

Simple Models of Galactic Bulges [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993
We present a simple axisymmetric model with an elementary distribution function capable of representing galactic bulges. The gravity field of the galaxy is based on the axisymmetric logarithmic potential, which has a flat rotation curve. Bulges are built as isothermal distributions of stars embedded within the potential.

On the deprojection of the Galactic bulge [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1996
An algorithm is developed and tested for the problem posed by photometric observations of the bulge of the Milky Way. The latter subtends a non-trivial solid angle on the sky, and we show that this permits inversion of the projected brightness distribution under the assumption that the bulge has three orthogonal mirror planes of specified orientation ...
