Tracing a Wet Past and Diverse Provenances in Gale Crater, Mars, With Lithium Content Using ChemCam on the Curiosity Rover

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The incompatible behavior of Lithium during magmatic differentiation and high mobility during aqueous alteration make it a valuable tracer of crustal processes on Mars. Its preferential incorporation into secondary phyllosilicates further links Li to clay‐forming environments, which are critical for evaluating past aqueous activity and ...

Observed Binary Fraction Sets Limits on the Extent of Collisional Grinding in the Kuiper Belt

, 2011
The size distribution in the cold classical Kuiper belt can be approximated by two idealized power laws: one with steep slope for radii R>R* and one with shallow slope for ...

Sustainable Water Systems in Space: A Review of Current Technologies and Future Prospects

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Sustainable water management is a critical challenge in space exploration, where the limited availability of resources requires innovative approaches to ensure astronauts' survival on long‐duration missions. This narrative review explores the key technologies and methods involved in water recycling, in situ resource utilization (ISRU), and ...

The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). V. The Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt

The Planetary Science Journal
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) is a deep survey of the trans-Neptunian solar system being carried out on the 4 m Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam).

OSSOS: X. How to Use a Survey Simulator: Statistical Testing of Dynamical Models Against the Real Kuiper Belt

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018
All surveys include observational biases, which makes it impossible to directly compare properties of discovered trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) with dynamical models.

Formation of Kuiper Belt Binaries [PDF]

, 2007
The discovery that a substantial fraction of Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) exists in binaries with wide separations and roughly equal masses, has motivated a variety of new theories explaining their formation. Goldreich et al.

An investigation of the price discovery role of futures markets: A dynamic time warping analysis of the United States corn markets

Agribusiness, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 196-212, Winter 2026.
Abstract Futures markets are critical to price discovery and often dominate spot markets. We analyze the linkages between daily corn futures and spot prices in the United States using dynamic time warping. This nonparametric pattern recognition technique has several advantages over traditional time series methods.

Early Cretaceous–Late Miocene Basin–Mountains Pattern in the Northeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau, NW China: Evidence From Detrital Zircon Chronology in the Lanzhou Basin

Geological Journal, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 127-145, January 2026.
Using DZmix and DZstats models, we quantified the contributions of potential sources of the Lanzhou basin. Our findings indicate that the Cenozoic cooling and denudation signals primarily originated from Qilian and West Qinling, which were the main sediment sources.

The Scattered Disk as the source of the Jupiter Family comets

, 2008
The short period Jupiter family comets (JFCs) are thought to originate in the Kuiper Belt; specifically, a dynamical subclass of the Kuiper Belt known as the `scattered disk' is argued to be the dominant source of JFCs.
