Active Experiments in Space: The Future

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
Planned active space experiments and ideas for future active space experiments are reviewed. Three active experiments being readied are DSX (Demonstration and Space eXperiments), SMART (Space Measurement of Rocket-released Turbulence), and BeamPIE (Beam ...

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

3D SR‐μXCT analysis for lithology detection: Application to Ryugu sample A0159

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Extraterrestrial breccia samples are formed through impact‐related processes that combine the fragments of distinct lithologies. As such, they are valuable indicators of the complex formation and evolution history of planetesimals in our solar system.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Theoretical Study of Electron Capture, Excitation, and Ionization Processes in H+−H(2l) Collisions

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The processes of single-electron charge exchange, excitation, and ionization during proton impact on H(2 l ) are investigated. We employ two different theoretical methods that are suitable for different collision energy regions: the full quantum ...

Evolution of slow electrostatic shock into a plasma shock mediated by electrostatic turbulence

New Journal of Physics, 2014
The collision of two plasma clouds at a speed that exceeds the ion acoustic speed can result in the formation of shocks. This phenomenon is observed not only in astrophysical scenarios, such as the propagation of supernova remnant (SNR) blast shells into

Laboratory astrophysics: Key to understanding the Universe [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019
AbstractThis brief overview stresses the importance of laboratory data and theory in analyzing astronomical observations and understanding the physical and chemical processes that drive the astrophysical phenomena in our Universe. This includes basic atomic and molecular data such as spectroscopy and collisional rate coefficients, but also an improved ...

The fall of the Haag (LL4‐6) chondrite breccia—Just 8 years after the nearby fall Stubenberg (LL6)

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract On October 24, 2024, an impressive fireball was visible over Austria. After the possible strewn field was calculated, the first sample of the Haag meteorite, with a mass of 8.76 g, was discovered on November 2, 2024, 8 days after the fireball event. Four more samples were found afterward putting the total sample mass at about 151 g.

Sulfide–Metal Assemblages on CR2 Chondrule Rims: Products of Nebular Fission–Sulfidization and Parent Body Oxidation–Serpentinization

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We conducted a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of sulfide–metal assemblages (SMAs) in minimally to moderately altered CR2 chondrites. The assemblages occur on chondrule rims and consist of kamacite cores rimmed by pyrrhotite.

The A2Π–X2Σ+ Band System of ScO for M-type Star Spectral Analysis

The Astrophysical Journal
M-type stars are the most abundant stars in our Galaxy. Their visible spectra are characterized by strong TiO and VO absorption bands with occasional ScO bands near 6000–6100 Å.
