Rethinking “Prebiotic Chemistry”

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract In origins‐of‐life research, the term “prebiotic chemistry” is commonly used to describe processes thought to be related to or required for the emergence of life. However, it suffers from several potential drawbacks that have caused the present group of authors to rethink their usage of the term.

Massive Star Formation in the Ultraviolet Observed with the Hubble Space Telescope

Galaxies, 2020
Spectroscopic observations of a massive star formation in the ultraviolet and their interpretation are reviewed. After a brief historical retrospective, two well-studied resolved star clusters and the surrounding H II regions are introduced: NGC 2070 in ...

The Brightest of Reionizing Galaxies (BoRG) survey

, 2012
Until now, investigating the early stages of galaxy formation has been primarily the realm of theoretical modeling and computer simulations, which require many physical ingredients and are challenging to test observationally.

Jupiter's X‐ray Aurorae. A High Signal Spectral Analysis of the 0.24–1.40 keV Energy Range

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Jupiter's X‐ray auroras are predominantly produced by precipitating energetic heavy ions. Recent results suggest a connection between the pulsation rate of these ion aurorae and the pulsation rate of magnetospheric waves. Using remote X‐ray observations and results from in situ measurements from the Juno Jupiter Energetic particle Detector ...

Hubble Space Telescope observations of Baade's window [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993
This is a status report on a continuing program using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide–Field Camera (WFC) to probe the stellar population of the Galactic bulge to fainter magnitudes. We seek the mean age of the stars and the initial mass function (IMF).

A Long‐Term Study of Jupiter's Equatorial Winds at the Top of the Troposphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Jupiter's equatorial atmosphere is covered by dense hazes that extend from the main cloud level to the lower stratosphere. These hazes are variable in optical depth and brightness, although the causes of these variations are unknown. James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of the equatorial hazes in 2022 in near‐infrared wavelengths ...

Faint White Dwarf Flux Standards: Data and Models

The Astronomical Journal
Fainter standard stars are essential for the calibration of larger telescopes. This work adds to the calibration spectra (CALSPEC) database of 19 faint white dwarfs (WDs) with all-sky coverage and V magnitudes between 16.5 and 18.7.

Climate Emergency and Different Ways to Fail? The Fermi Paradox, the Simulation Hypothesis, Agency and Hope

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 55, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Humanity seems stuck on different ways to fail to meet the challenge posed by a declared climate emergency and manifest problems of ecological breakdown. Rather than reprise these failures, we use the Fermi Paradox and simulation hypothesis to make a simple point about agency. The argument unfolds in two sections.

A New Approach to Compiling Exoatmospheric Target Lists and Quantifying the Ground-based Resources Needed to Vet Them

The Astronomical Journal
Transiting exoplanet atmospheric characterization is currently in a golden age as dozens of exoplanet atmospheres are being studied by NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes.
