The Pointing Error Due To Laser Propagation in Space Plasma for TianQin Gravitational Wave Detection

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract TianQin, a space‐borne gravitational wave observatory, is designed to detect gravitational‐wave signals via laser interferometry. As the inhomogeneous space plasma surrounds the inter‐satellite laser links, the propagation of the laser in space plasma can introduce pointing error noise.

The Disruption of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1995
Numerical simulations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies undergoing several close encounters with the Milky Way are described. By comparing our models to observed properties of the recently discovered dwarf galaxy in Sagittarius (Sgr), we discuss implications of our results for the formation and evolution of the Milky Way system.

Discovery and Initial Investigation of a New Low Surface Brightness Planetary Nebula Candidate at High Galactic Latitude

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Planetary nebulae represent a late evolutionary phase of low‐ to intermediate‐mass stars. In this article, we present the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown, faint potential Galactic planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Camelopardalis, identified during a survey‐inspection, aiming at the detection of dwarf companions of the ...

Dwarf Galaxies and Cluster Environments

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2018
AbstractWe report an investigation of the properties of dwarf galaxies (Mr < -15) inside 26 clusters at z = 0.15 – 0.25, using the X-ray data from the Chandra archive, and optical images taken with Subaru Suprime-Cam. Our results include: 1. Investigation of the dwarf galaxy density distribution is sensitive to the background galaxies and the choice

The Constraint of Crewed Mars Missions Based on Current Radiation Dose Measurements

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Crewed missions to Mars will be a milestone of future space exploration programs. However, the absence of Earth's magnetic field leaves astronauts directly exposed to unattenuated energetic particles in deep space, primarily galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), resulting in significantly higher radiation levels and enhanced health risks.

Shock metamorphic effects in Itokawa phosphates: A comparison with megaregolith‐derived meteorites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 351-370, March 2026.
Abstract Returned regolith samples from the asteroid Itokawa provide a unique opportunity to compare shock metamorphic effects in unconsolidated regolith materials with those preserved in lithified meteorites, that is, megaregolith. We analyzed four Itokawa particles (Ueda—RA‐QD02‐0519, Narahara—RA‐QD02‐0573, Domon—RA‐QD02‐0588, Ishiuchi—RX‐MD03‐0212 ...

Sensitivity of Chloroplast Movements Along an Elevational Gradient Among Three Alpine Plant Species With Different Life History Strategies

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Chloroplast movements are an important photoprotective mechanism in land plants. The magnitude of chloroplast responses depends on light conditions. We investigated variation in chloroplast movements and leaf physiological traits in three species: a deciduous dwarf shrub, Vaccinium myrtillus, and two wintergreen herbaceous perennials, Homogyne

PERICLES: A Set of Empirical Rotational Isochrones Modeled on Cool Dwarfs in Open Clusters and Wide Binaries

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.
