Galileo PLS Plasma Observations During the E12 Europa Flyby Refuting an Encounter With a Cryovolcanic Plume

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract During Galileo's closest (“E12”) flyby of Europa, a brief burst of wave activity was recorded by the plasma wave instrumentation, PWS. This was speculatively interpreted by Jia et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550‐018‐0450‐z) as a 2,100 cm−3 spike in plasma densities from a water plume encounter. While the plasma instrument, PLS, could

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.

Science with the James Webb space telescope [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 2006
The science objectives of the James Webb Space Telescope fall into four themes. The End of the Dark Ages: First Light and Reionization theme seeks to identify the first luminous sources to form and to determine the ionization history of the universe. The Assembly of Galaxies theme seeks to determine how galaxies and the dark matter, gas, stars, metals,

JWST Discovers the Vertical Structure of Uranus' Ionosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract On 19 January 2025, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) program # $\mathrm{\#}$5073 observed Uranus for almost a full rotation with NIRSpec. We present the first ever vertical ionospheric profiles of H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ temperature, volumetric density and total emission.

The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 8, 6 February 2026.
Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

Confirmation of a Non‐Transiting Planet in the Habitable Zone of the Nearby M Dwarf L 98‐59

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Only 40 exoplanetary systems with five or more planets are currently known. These systems are crucial for our understanding of planet formation and planet‐planet interaction. The M dwarf L 98‐59 has previously been found to show evidence of five planets, three of which are transiting.
