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 ...

Potassium isotopic compositions and exposure ages of evolved and silica‐rich achondrites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Some of the oldest igneous rocks in the Solar System include evolved and silica‐rich achondrites that originate from parent bodies less than 1000 km in diameter, referred to as planetesimals. While Earth was initially in a molten state and required continental crust formation and plate tectonics to generate andesite bulk compositions, evolved ...

Dissociation and Cooling Dynamics of 2-cyanoindene Monocations: Survival of Small PAHs in Harsh Interstellar Radiation Fields

The Astrophysical Journal
The molecule, 2-cyanoindene, C _10 H _7 N (2CNI) is the only cyanosubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) detected in space, for which the hydrocarbon counterpart, indene, has also been observed in the same astrochemical environment—the ...

Oxygen isotope variability in the IIIAB iron meteorites and their relationship to main group pallasites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The light element distribution in planetary cores and the processes driving core evolution in rocky planets are poorly understood. Magmatic iron meteorites are samples from the cores of ancient embryonic planetesimals and therefore provide a window into the processes governing core evolution. We performed high precision oxygen isotope analyses

Microstructural evidence for multiple generations of sulfide precipitation and impact‐induced thermal alteration under acidic conditions on Asteroid Ryugu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Here we report on the microstructure and chemistry of sulfide minerals returned from asteroid (162173) Ryugu. We identify a unique sulfide population in particle A0016 composed of violarite (FeNi2S4), pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), pyrrhotite (Fe1‐xS), and pentlandite ([Fe,Ni]9S8).

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.

Nuclear astrophysics in underground laboratories: The LUNA experiment [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
Abstract One of the main ingredients of nuclear astrophysics is the knowledge of the thermonuclear reactions responsible for powering the stellar engine and for the synthesis of the chemical elements. At astrophysical energies the cross section of nuclear processes is extremely reduced by the effect of the Coulomb barrier.

Geophysical update of the diameter of the Zhamanshin impact structure, Kazakhstan

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The rim of the 0.9‐Ma‐old Zhamanshin impact crater in Kazakhstan is considered to be almost completely exposed via a series of hills surrounding a central flat area, indicating an apparent diameter of 14 km. This would make Zhamanshin the second largest impact crater of the Quaternary period. However, the overall geometry of these hills is not

Entering the Era of Directly Supporting Society With Observation‐Based Ocean Acidification Data

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Ocean acidification is a growing concern for many nations around the world. However, our capacity to monitor changes in carbonate chemistry with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, has until now, been limited, which has impeded effective action and decision‐making at international, national, and regional levels.
