Fifty Years Later: Revisiting Viking 2 Seismic Signals Through InSight
Abstract For nearly 50 years, the origin of the candidate seismic signals recorded by Viking 2 remained unresolved because of limited instrumental sensitivity, onboard observation, data compression, and the absence of Martian seismic context. Here we reconstruct the Viking seismic workflow and reinterpret the two Viking candidate events, recorded on ...

An enhancement in the activity of the early young Sun resulting in a high charged particle flux has been invoked to explain excesses in spallation-induced nuclides in primitive planetary materials.

XRD, SEM and petrologic characterization of a L4-L5 ordinary chondrite meteorite
In this work, a meteorite sample recovered in Morocco is characterized by detailed petrographic observations in transmitted and reflected light optical microscopy and by using XRD and SEM and it is tentatively classified. VIS/NIR spectral analysis of the

Abstract Subseafloor hydrothermal circulation drives biogeochemical exchange between the solid Earth and its ocean, and could play a similar role in other ocean worlds. We assess the scale of subseafloor temperature (T) variations during hydrothermal circulation in ∼3.5 Ma seafloor on the eastern flank of Juan de Fuca Ridge. This well‐studied, moderate

Europa's Neutral Sodium Exosphere Is Quasi‐Stable Over Decades
Abstract Europa's sodium cloud is thought to be modified by its orbital longitude and by its plasma environment, which modulates with Jovian magnetic geometry. To explore and quantify sodium cloud variability, seven sets of Keck I/HIRES measurements are compared providing comprehensive coverage of orbital and magnetic geometry.

We study the nucleosynthesis in a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) model including newly calculated neutrino-induced reaction rates with both collective and Mikheyev–Smirnov–Wolfenstein neutrino flavor oscillations considered.

Experimental Shock Metamorphism of Zircon, Apatite, and Whitlockite From 5 to 40 GPa
Abstract Hypervelocity impacts modify planetary crusts and can alter the microstructures of key minerals used to reconstruct planetary histories. We investigated the potential effects of impacts on three common accessory minerals found in terrestrial crusts by experimentally shocking zircon, apatite, and whitlockite at 5, 10, 20, and 40 GPa.

Ancient Impact Melt Near the Lunar South Pole: Distribution, Provenance, and Sampling Strategy
Abstract Due to a lack of pre‐Nectarian samples associated with specific impacts in the Apollo suite, the early Solar System's impact chronology is poorly constrained. We investigate where Artemis and other south polar lunar missions could sample impactites to determine the ages of pre‐Nectarian craters, focusing on the ancient craters Haworth ...

Abstract Shock metamorphism is a ubiquitous process in our solar system. Shock pressure can be related to the lattice strain (ε) of individual minerals within a shocked sample. The lattice strain can be quantified within intact samples by in situ micro‐X‐ray diffraction (μXRD) using the Williamson‐Hall method. The Williamson‐Hall lattice strain (W‐H ε)
