Determining the mechanical parameters of asteroid rocks using NWA13618 meteorites and microscale rock mechanics experiment

open access: yesRock and Soil Mechanics, 2022
In the future, the extraterrestrial human activities, such as resources exploitation and base construction beyond the Earth need the aid of geotechnical engineering technology.

The origin of alteration “orangettes” in Dhofar 019: Implications for the age and aqueous history of the shergottites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The shergottites are the largest group of Martian meteorites, and the only group that has not been found to contain definitive evidence of Martian aqueous alteration.

Mikrometeorite und ihr Ursprung im Sonnensystem: Außerirdischer Staub zum Anfassen

open access: yesPhysik in unserer Zeit, EarlyView.
Mit einer Größe, die der Dicke eines Haares entspricht, sind Mikrometeorite kaum sichtbar für das bloße Auge. Dennoch werden sie seit etwa 150 Jahren gesammelt, und seit wenigen Jahren sogar auf unseren Hausdächern. Als Kostproben von Asteroiden oder Kometen stellen sie wertvolle Boten unseres Sonnensystems dar.

THE EXISTENCE OF GROUPS OF METEORITE-PRODUCING FIRE-BALLS AND METEORITES IN COMET-LIKE ORBITS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2018
This paper discusses the existence of groups of meteorite-producing fireballs and ordinary chondrites in the Earth-crossing Jupiter-family comet-like (JFC) orbits.

GROUPS OF METEORITE-PRODUCING METEOROIDS AND METEORITES IN ASTEROIDAL ORBITS AND THEIR SOURCES

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2020
This paper presents the results of the analysis of possible existence of nine near-Earth meteorite-producing groups in asteroidal orbits, consisting of sporadic fireballs from the IAU MDC 2007 database, sporadic meteors from the SonotaCo database ...

Fossil Glasses Produced by Impact of Meteorites, Asteroids and Possibly Comets with the Planet Earth [PDF]

open access: yes, 1962
In recent times one of the most intriguing mysteries of geology bas been the occurrence of aerodynamically-shaped glasses on five continents of the earth. These glasses under discussion are obviously not of fulgurite origin.

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

Influence of the Yucatan earthquake event

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
In recent years, seismic wave effects caused by meteorite impacts have been widely observed. The meteorite impact event that occurred 66 million years ago is one of the most famous impact events in Earth’s history.

Nature's Starships II: Simulating the Synthesis of Amino Acids in Meteorite Parent Bodies

open access: yes, 2015
Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are known for having high water and organic material contents, including amino acids. Here we address the origin of amino acids in the warm interiors of their parent bodies (planetesimals) within a few million years of ...

The morphosedimentary record of glacial to postglacial environmental changes in West Wiyâshâkimî impact crater lake and adjacent areas, northern Québec, Canada

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Crater lakes in core regions of former ice sheets have the potential to preserve long‐term sedimentary archives that are otherwise rare in glaciated landscapes due to pervasive glacial erosion. Lake Wiyâshâkimî, an impact crater lake located in the inner core of the Québec‐Labrador Dome of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, provides a rare example of such a ...
