Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Increase of the Density, Temperature and Velocity of Plasma Jets driven by a Ring of High Energy Laser Beams

open access: yes, 2013
Supersonic plasma outflows driven by multi-beam, high-energy lasers, such as Omega and NIF, have been and will be used as platforms for a variety of laboratory astrophysics experiments.

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

Graphite crystallinity and thermal record in Campo del Cielo IAB iron meteorite: A window into impact processing on a chondritic body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Campo del Cielo iron meteorite (IAB‐MG) provides a unique window into early solar system processes, particularly the formation and evolution of carbon phases in non‐magmatic iron meteorites. In this study, we conducted a systematic nanostructural investigation of three distinct graphite occurrences—cliftonite (type I), interstitial ...

Small but mighty: Impact hazards from iron Near‐Earth Objects

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Small asteroids can impact Earth unexpectedly, as demonstrated by the Chelyabinsk event in 2013. The warning times are likely to be short, and the first tools for fast hazard predictions have been developed in the last years for encounters with rocky or cometary objects, which quickly fragment in the atmosphere and cause airbursts. However, in
