Equilibration in the Aftermath of the Lunar-Forming Giant Impact [PDF]
Simulations of the moon-forming impact suggest that most of the lunar material derives from the impactor rather than the Earth. Measurements of lunar samples, however, reveal an oxygen isotope composition that is indistinguishable from terrestrial samples, and clearly distinct from meteorites coming from Mars and Vesta.

ABSTRACT The discovery of radio‐quiet, x‐ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) in the ROSAT All‐Sky Survey revealed a previously overlooked component of the neutron star population. Advancements in x‐ray instrumentation and the availability of deep, wide‐area optical surveys now enable us to explore XINSs at fainter x‐ray fluxes and ...

Efficient Spherical Harmonic Transforms aimed at pseudo-spectral numerical simulations [PDF]
In this paper, we report on very efficient algorithms for the spherical harmonic transform (SHT). Explicitly vectorized variations of the algorithm based on the Gauss-Legendre quadrature are discussed and implemented in the SHTns library which includes scalar and vector transforms.

Calibration of pressure-dependent sensitivity and discrimination in Nier-type noble gas ion sources [PDF]
The efficiency of many noble gas mass spectrometers to ionize gas species is known to be a function of the pressure of gas in the spectrometer. This work shows how the half plate voltage for maximum He or Ar signal depends on the spectrometer pressure ...

A new classification for inland freshwater palaeowetlands to be used in the field or core laboratory by sedimentologists, providing examples from the Guadix Basin (southern Spain). Abstract Present wetlands have proven to be delicate, biodiverse ecosystems, that are natural sinks for CO2 and act as good indicators for climate changes.

Three-stage Formation of Cap Carbonates after Marinoan Snowball Glaciation Consistent with Depositional Timescales and Geochemistry [PDF]
At least two global "Snowball Earth" glaciations occurred during the Neoproterozoic Era (1000-538.8 million years ago). Post-glacial surface environments during this time are recorded in cap carbonates: layers of limestone or dolostone that directly overlie glacial deposits.

Arsenic geochemistry and health
Arsenic occurs naturally in the earth's crust and is widely distributed in the environment. Natural mineralization and activities of microorganisms enhance arsenic mobilization in the environment but human intervention has exacerbated arsenic contamination. Although arsenic is useful for industrial, agricultural, medicinal and other purposes, it exerts
