Ryugu reference project: Recommendations from the measurement definition team

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 819-848, May 2026.
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,

Equivalent Width of the Interstellar Na i D1 and D2 Absorption Lines for Stars with E(B−V) < 0.15

New measurements of the equivalent width of the interstellar Na i D1 and D2 absorption lines for 62 bright B-type stars with E(B − V) < 0.15 are used to recalibrate the relation between these quantities in this low-reddening regime, and to quantify the ...

Spectroscopic Investigation of Thioacrolein by Variational and Perturbational Approaches

Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 10, 15 April 2026.
The vibrational and rotational spectra of trans and cis‐thioacrolein were studied by high levels of electronic and vibrational structure theory. Comparisons with experimental results are provided for several molecular quantities. ABSTRACT The vibrational spectra of trans and cis‐thioacrolein have been studied by 2nd order vibrational perturbation ...

X-Ray Spectroscopy of Interstellar Carbon: Evidence for Scattering by Carbon-bearing Material in the Spectrum of 1ES 1553+113

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Molecules and particles make up ∼40%–70% of carbon in the interstellar medium, yet the exact chemical structure of these constituents remains unknown. We present carbon K-shell absorption spectroscopy of the Galactic interstellar medium obtained with the

Influence of Mars Topography on Radiation Dose Detected by the Mars Science Laboratory and Assessment of Mars Surface Albedo Radiation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on the Curiosity rover has been characterizing the Martian surface radiation field since 2012. The dose observed by RAD is influenced by a variety of factors, including an essential one, the terrain. After parking near Murray Buttes in September 2016 where it first detected a ∼5% decrease in dose rate ...

Tiny-scale Properties within the Interstellar Medium toward PSR J1644−4559. I. Observational Evidence of Turbulence-induced Tiny-scale Atomic Structures

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We investigated H i absorption toward a single pulsar, PSR J1644−4559, and its variability over timescales from days to years, using Murriyang, CSIRO’s Parkes Radio Telescope.

Variation of the 9.7 micron Silicate Absorption Feature with Extinction in the Dense Interstellar Medium

, 2014
Dust in the interstellar medium is important to astronomers because it absorbs light from more distant objects and because it provides the raw material from which planets form. One of the main components of interstellar dust is silicates.

Observations of interstellar Lyman-α absorption [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970
Absorption at the Lyman-α transition from interstellar neutral hydrogen has been observed in the ultraviolet spectra of 18 nearby O and B stars. Radiation damping is the dominant cause of line broadening, which makes the derived line-of-sight column densities proportional to the square of the observed equivalent widths.

An Ultraviolet Study of CO Chemistry in the Magellanic Clouds

The Astronomical Journal
How does molecular cloud chemistry change with metallicity? In this work, we study the relation between molecular hydrogen (H _2 ) and carbon monoxide (CO) at 1/2 and 1/5 solar metallicity using ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy obtained as part of the

Ion irradiation of carbonaceous interstellar analogues: Effects of cosmic rays on the 3.4 μ m interstellar absorption band

, 2011
No commentInternational audienceContext. A 3.4 μm absorption band (around 2900 cm-1), assigned to aliphatic C-H stretching modes of hydrogenated amorphous carbons (a-C:H), is widely observed in the diffuse interstellar medium, but disappears or is ...
