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

Journal 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,

Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV MaStar: Quantification and Abatement of Interstellar Absorption in the Largest Empirical Stellar Spectral Library

The Astrophysical Journal
We assess the impact of Ca ii λ λ 3934, 3969 and Na i λ λ 5891, 5897 absorption arising in the interstellar medium (ISM) on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-IV MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar) and produce corrected spectroscopy for 80% of the 24,162-star ...

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

Global 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.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 4015-4040, 1 September 2026.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

An Instrument for Isomer‐Specific Action Spectroscopy of Charged Clusters: Electronic Spectra of C 14 + and Ca@C 60 +

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Disentangling spectral congestion of a mixture of isomers in gas‐phase spectroscopy is critical. We present an instrument combining ion mobility, mass spectrometry, and spectroscopy in a cryogenic 3D Paul trap to investigate the isomer‐specific charged clusters and illustrate its performance with the electronic spectra of C14+ and Ca@C60+. Interpreting

Revisiting the Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of the η Tel Edge-on Debris Disk

The Astronomical Journal
We revisit the ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy of the edge-on debris disk surrounding the A0V star η  Telescopii. Previous work found absorption components at four velocities (∼−23, −18, −10, −1 km s ^−1 ), with the most blueshifted component (−23 km

Latitude Survey of Neutrons and Muons to Determine Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing Yield Functions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) is a ground‐based technique that utilizes epithermal neutron measurements as a proxy for environmental hydrogen content. Similarly to other ground‐based cosmic ray detectors (e.g., neutron monitors), CRNS detectors are affected by the solar cycle and space weather events.

Distance to the Galactic Center 7′ Halo from H I Absorption

The Astrophysical Journal
Using archival data, we have made an H I absorption study of the 7 ${}^{{\prime} }$ halo surrounding the Sgr A complex, observed toward the Galactic center (GC) region. We find strong H I absorption near velocities of −53 km s ^−1 , which is due to the 3

Near‐Earth Cosmic Ray Modulation Index ϕ and Neutron Monitor Cutoff Rigidities at Hourly Cadence: Toward an Improved Monitoring of Solar‐Terrestrial Radiation Environment, Space Weather, and Space Climate

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Cosmic rays (CRs) are energetic particles originating from galactic and extragalactic sources. When arriving into the solar system and the Sun's heliosphere, they are diverted and modulated by the magnetic activity of the Sun. This modulation can be quantified by the modulation parameter ϕ $\phi $ determined with the Force‐field approximation (

The density distribution and 58.4 nm radiation intensity of interstellar helium in the heliosphere: a model simulation

Earth and Planetary Physics
Research on the interstellar medium and its interaction with the solar system constitutes a significant topic in planetary physics. As the Sun traverses the local interstellar cloud, interstellar neutrals penetrate the heliosphere, forming the ...
