From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Predicted profiles of ultraviolet interstellar absorption lines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1991
In this paper, values of the column density, line width parameter, and velocity are determined for as many components derived from optical interstellar absorption-line profiles of Na I and K I as needed to reproduce the observed high-resolution optical profiles of the D lines of Na I toward eight lightly reddened stars and of the 7698 A line of K I ...

Thin‐film lithium niobate photonics: Frontiers in millimeter‐wave and terahertz generation and integrated applications

open access: yesInfoScience, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
With the advancement of 6G communications, high‐precision radar, and advanced imaging technologies, there is a growing demand for compact, high‐performance light sources capable of generating high‐frequency radio waves (millimeter‐wave and terahertz waves). This article systematically introduces how to efficiently generate these high‐frequency waves on

A Definitive Determination of the Interstellar Carbon Abundance toward ρ Ophiuchi A and B

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present the results of an effort to derive interstellar gas-phase C ii abundances along the lines of sight toward ρ  Oph A and B. Our analysis is based on high-resolution near-ultraviolet and far-ultraviolet archival spectra acquired with the Space ...

Distance Determinations from 21 cm Interstellar Absorption-line Measurements [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983
HI observations at 21 cm have been made with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in the direction of six planetary nebulae located in or near the galactic plane (N 7027, 2440, 6537, 6572, 7026, 7354).

A Solar Analog Model for Decrease in Far Ultraviolet Irradiance Under a Grand Minimum

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Solar analog field stars having a range of magnetic activity can provide an estimate of solar spectral irradiance (SSI) variability relevant to understanding the Sun's influence on terrestrial climate. This approach is particularly useful for far ultraviolet (FUV) irradiance that cannot be observed from the Earth surface.

Neutron Diffraction Evidence for Stress‐Induced Melting of Ice During Deformation of D2O‐Ice Ih—Fluorite Mixtures

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Water ice is an important rock‐forming mineral, both on the Earth and on various extraterrestrial bodies. Naturally occurring ice is often “dirty”–an intimate mixture with harder mineral grains, which can have significant effects on the bulk properties of the aggregate. We have used neutron powder diffraction, with in situ triaxial deformation,

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?

open access: yesGlobal Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 553-565, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

H i Kinematics and the E(B − V)/N(H i) Ratio

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The λ 21 cm H i emission that is used to trace the gas-to-dust ratio at high Galactic latitudes has contributions from material beyond the Milky Way disk, with uncertain and likely subsolar metallicity and dust content.
