Quad-Mag board for CubeSat applications [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2022
The design, characteristics, and performance of a CubeSat magnetometer board (Quad-Mag) equipped with four PNI RM3100 magnetometers is presented. The low size, weight, power, and cost of the RM3100 enables the inclusion of four sensors on a single board,

Updating studies of past life and ancient ecologies using defossilized organismal proxies

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The fossil record represents the world’s largest historical dataset of biodiversity. However, the biomechanical and ecological potential of this dataset has been restricted by various unique barriers obstructing experimental study.

CarrierSeq: a sequence analysis workflow for low-input nanopore sequencing

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Background Long-read nanopore sequencing technology is of particular significance for taxonomic identification at or below the species level. For many environmental samples, the total extractable DNA is far below the current input requirements of ...

Hydrogen Isotopic Composition of Hydrous Minerals in Asteroid Ryugu

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Rock fragments of the Cb-type asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission share mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic properties with the Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites.

Microbial Diversity in a Hypersaline Sulfate Lake: A Terrestrial Analog of Ancient Mars

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Life can persist under severe osmotic stress and low water activity in hypersaline environments. On Mars, evidence for the past presence of saline bodies of water is prevalent and resulted in the widespread deposition of sulfate and chloride salts.

Theoretical Spectra of Terrestrial Exoplanet Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate spectra of airless rocky exoplanets with a theoretical framework that self-consistently treats reflection and thermal emission. We find that a silicate surface on an exoplanet is spectroscopically detectable via prominent Si-O features in ...

Experimentally Shock‐Induced Melt Veins in Basalt: Improving the Shock Classification of Eucrites

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Basaltic rocks occur widely on the terrestrial planets and differentiated asteroids, including the asteroid 4 Vesta. We conducted a shock recovery experiment with decaying compressive pulses on a terrestrial basalt at the Chiba Institute of Technology ...

The Oxygen Isotopic Composition of Samples Returned from Asteroid Ryugu with Implications for the Nature of the Parent Planetesimal

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We present oxygen isotopic analyses of fragments of the near-Earth C _b -type asteroid Ryugu returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft that reinforce the close correspondence between Ryugu and CI chondrites.
