Visible, near‐, and thermal infrared spectra of asteroid Bennu samples: Relationship to and implications for remote sensing of carbonaceous asteroids

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote spectroscopy is used to characterize the mineralogy and infer the history of planetary bodies. Carbonaceous asteroids, such as B‐type (101955) Bennu, represent the earliest stages of planet formation. B types have a blue (negative) spectral slope and comprise <5% of asteroids.

LifeMet: Report on the 2024–2025 meteorite recovery expedition in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica for the study of microbe–meteorite interactions

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the discovery of nine meteorites near the Yamato mountains in 1969, Antarctica has been recognized as a superb location for meteorite recovery. While Antarctic recovery expeditions prioritize meteorite preservation for mineralogical and planetary studies, meteorites are not typically collected for biological applications.

The role of composition in the spectral evolution of carbonaceous asteroids as informed by Bennu sample return

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Near‐Earth rubble‐pile asteroids Bennu and Ryugu are part of the carbonaceous taxonomic complex (C‐complex), and samples returned from both bodies resemble the most aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites. However, telescopic and spacecraft visible–near infrared (VIS–NIR) reflectance spectra of Ryugu exhibit a red (positive) spectral slope ...

Stardust Mine: A 2024 gabbroic shergottite from Arizona, USA

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study provides an initial characterization of Stardust Mine, a fresh gabbroic enriched shergottite collected in Arizona, USA, in September 2024 and is the first Martian meteorite to be unequivocably collected on US soil. Analysis was conducted on the type specimen and finds that Stardust Mine is composed of equal proportions of pyroxene ...

Mid‐Infrared Compositional Spectral Parameters for the Lunar Thermal Mapper Instrument Onboard Lunar Trailblazer

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
The Lunar Trailblazer mission launched in February of 2025 with the goal of characterizing lunar surface water through a targeted campaign. One instrument on the mission, the Lunar Thermal Mapper (LTM), was tasked with measuring the surface temperature ...

Mineralogy, mineral chemistry, and redox equilibria in ten aggregate particles from asteroid Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Examination of 10 Bennu aggregate particles has revealed the presence of many phases which taken together can provide constraints on the oxygen fugacity (fO2) of Bennu samples. Phyllosilicates (saponite and serpentine), carbonates, oxides (magnetite, chromite), sulfides (pyrrhotite, pentlandite), phosphate (hydroxyapatite, Na‐Mg‐phosphate ...

Geology of the central uplift of the Kamestastin Lake impact structure, Labrador, Canada

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The ~28 km Kamestastin (Mistastin) Lake impact structure is a relatively well‐preserved and well‐exposed complex impact structure. The central uplift of this structure is accessible as two islands in the middle of Kamestastin Lake. We present an updated, detailed geological map and description of Horseshoe and Bullseye islands that provides ...

Nanoscale space weathering features in mature lunar soil revealed by TEM and APT

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Space weathering significantly alters the optical, chemical, and structural properties of lunar regolith at micro‐ and nanoscales; yet detailed nanoscale variability within individual soils remains underexplored. Here we apply transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography to four mineral grains (olivine, ilmenite, and two ...

The Ramadan Gambit: The Impact of Fasting on Cognitive Performance

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than 2 billion people participate annually in Ramadan fasting, making its potential effects on cognitive performance important for workplaces, education and high‐stakes decision‐making. We study these effects in tournament chess, an incentivised, real‐world cognitive task in which move quality can be evaluated objectively by a strong ...
