Description and terrestrial ages of the Calama Area Meteorite Collection (Atacama Desert, Chile)

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a comprehensive study of a meteorite collection from the Atacama Desert (Chile), the driest and most climatically stable desert in the world. This collection includes meteorites from three adjacent Dense Collection Areas (DCAs) in the northern part of the Atacama Desert: Calama, Sierra Gorda, and Chug Chug, referred to as the ...

Automated Shape-model-based Astrometry of Phobos from Mars Express Super Resolution Channel Images

The Astronomical Journal
High-resolution spacecraft images provide important astrometric constraints for orbit refinement, but measurements of resolved bodies are often limited by labor-intensive control-point selection and the difficulty of achieving consistent reductions over ...

Revisiting olivine‐phyric shergottites: Pyroxene crystallization pressure and the role of undercooling

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Shergottites are the most abundant meteorites from Mars and a major source of information on magma reservoirs, transport, and eruption, particularly in the late Hesperian northern hemisphere. Conflicting interpretations have arisen on the crystallization conditions of pyroxene in olivine‐phyric shergottites.

On Our Cosmic (In)significance

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article discusses three interpretations of cosmic significance, all of which reveal something important about the notion of significance. Along the way, it proposes a unified view of significance by combining elements of each of the views.

Automatic Crater Classification Using a Deep‐Learning‐Based Pipeline

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Identifying and classifying impact craters on Mars is crucial for understanding the planet's geological history and surface evolution. Traditional crater classification relies on manual annotation methods, which are often limited by human biases and the difficulty of interpreting geomorphological features.

Two Possible Orbital Histories of Phobos

The Planetary Science Journal
The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, have orbits that are close to the Martian equator, indicating their formation from a circumplanetary disk. Phobos is currently migrating toward Mars due to tidal dissipation within the planet and may be disrupted

An astrobiological study of high latitude martian analogue environments [PDF]

, 2010
The search for life on Mars is in part reliant on the understanding of Martian environments, both past and present, in terms of what life may inhabit these environments, how this life may be preserved in the rock record, and how this rock record may be ...

Probing Subsurface Properties With Mission Hardware: Lessons Learned From Artificial Impacts of Mars 2020

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Hardware released during spacecraft entry can generate hypervelocity impacts that provide unique constraints on planetary subsurface properties. During NASA's Perseverance descent, two tungsten cruise ballast mass devices (CBMD) and fragments of the cruise stage formed meter‐scale craters north‐west of Jezero crater, in one of the sinuous ...

Effect of oxygen ion irradiation on the visible, infrared, and Raman spectra of Phobos candidate materials: implications on the space weathering by Martian atmosphere-derived ions

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The origin of Martian satellites is still under debate. Nevertheless, such information could give insights into the evolution of the Martian system and planetary formation processes.

A 400‐Year Antarctic Ice‐Core Perchlorate Record Reveals Variability in Stratospheric Chlorine Chemistry

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Perchlorate (ClO4−) in polar ice preserves past chlorine oxidation chemistry; however, multi‐centennial Antarctic ClO4− records and the mechanisms controlling their variability remain poorly constrained. Here, we present the first 400‐year (1616−2016) ClO4− record from an Antarctic ice core, revealing two regimes separated around 1980.
