Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Buckyball-metal Complexes as Potential Carriers of Astronomical Unidentified Infrared Emission Bands

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Efforts over 40 yr still leave the source of astronomical infrared emission bands largely unidentified. Here, we report the first laboratory infrared (6–25 μ m) spectra of gas-phase fullerene-metal complexes, [C _60 -Metal] ^+ (Metal = Fe, V) and show ...

Post‐flight assessment of the OSIRIS‐REx Sample Return Capsule (SRC) for organic and other potential contaminants

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

Xenoliths in meteorites: Insights into the dynamics of material exchange between asteroids

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A minor fraction of meteorites contains xenoliths, that is, clasts that were formed on a different parent body than that of the host lithology. The occurrence of xenoliths is direct evidence for the exchange of material between asteroids, including exchanges between asteroids from the carbonaceous (CC) and non‐carbonaceous (NC) reservoirs ...

A Microkrystite from the Australasian Tektite/Microtektite Strewn Field

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Microkrystites are glassy impact spherules. They contain primary crystallites carrying information on the physical and chemical conditions prevailing during vaporization, melting, and ejection in large impact cratering events. We report on the geochemistry and mineralogy down to nanometer scale of the first microkrystite (ODP1144A,14) from the

Water and hydroxyl on asteroid Bennu: Reconciling remote observations with OSIRIS‐REx sample analysis

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the spatial distribution and spectral characteristics of the broad hydration feature near 3 μm across the surface of asteroid (101955) Bennu using OVIRS (OSIRIS‐REx Visible and InfraRed Spectrometer) data. We analyzed multiple global OVIRS data sets obtained at different times throughout the Bennu day, revealing ...

Underground nuclear astrophysics: Status and recent results from Felsenkeller laboratory [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
For almost three decades it has been known that the study of astro-physically important nuclear reactions between stable nuclei requires the use of low-background, underground accelerator laboratories.

LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS IN TAIWAN

International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2007
We report the development of laboratory astrophysics program in Taiwan. We begin with outlining Taiwan's participation in the FLASH collaboration for measuring the fluorescence yield using SLAC 28.5 GeV electron beam. We then report the domestic effort of studying cosmic ray shower properties using NSRRC 1.5 GeV electron beam.

Assessing the analytical capabilities of handheld laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (hLIBS) on corroded iron objects of possible meteoritic origin

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite meteorites having been recognized as the source of iron in some ancient iron artifacts, few archeological irons have been analyzed so far, as invasive methods are precluded. In this work, four iron knives and one axe collected near Guelmime and Imilchil (Morocco) were investigated by advanced analytical techniques, including handheld ...

Distribution and rare earth element abundances of apatite in Bennu samples determined by synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Apatite is often the most rare earth element (REE)‐enriched mineral in chondritic meteorites. REE enrichment and fractionation levels in apatite grains can give insight into the aqueous fluids in which they formed and the conditions prevailing within the host body. In this study, we applied synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence (SXRF) spectroscopy to
