Isobar-free neon isotope measurements of flux-fused potential reference minerals on a Helix-MC-Plus^(10K) mass spectrometer [PDF]
This work presents new analytical techniques for extraction and analysis of neon from a suite of different mineral phases, including quartz, pyroxene, hematite, apatite, zircon, topaz, and fluorite.

Neon diffusion kinetics and implications for cosmogenic neon paleothermometry in feldspars [PDF]
Observations of cosmogenic neon concentrations in feldspars can potentially be used to constrain the surface exposure duration or surface temperature history of geologic samples.

Elemental Abundances of Blue Compact Dwarfs from mid-IR Spectroscopy with Spitzer [PDF]
We present a study of elemental abundances in a sample of thirteen Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies, using the $\sim$10--37$\mu$m high resolution spectra obtained with Spitzer/IRS.

Neon and Sulfur Abundances of Planetary Nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
The chemical abundances of neon and sulfur for 25 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Magellanic Clouds are presented. These abundances have been derived using mainly infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope.

V605 Aquilae: a born again star, a nova or both? [PDF]
V605 Aquilae is today widely assumed to have been the result of a final helium shell flash occurring on a single post-asymptotic giant branch star.

Spectroscopy of PTCDA attached to rare gas samples: clusters vs. bulk matrices. I. Absorption spectroscopy [PDF]
The interaction between PTCDA (3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride) and rare gas or para-hydrogen samples is studied by means of laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy.

Nuclear Thermometers for Classical Novae [PDF]
Classical novae are stellar explosions occurring in binary systems, consisting of a white dwarf and a main sequence companion. Thermonuclear runaways on the surface of massive white dwarfs, consisting of oxygen and neon, are believed to reach peak ...

A New Look at Neon-C and SEP-Neon [PDF]
Studies of the isotopic composition of neon in lunar soils, meteorites, and interplanetary dust particles have revealed several distinct components. In addition to implanted solar wind, which has a ^(20)Ne/^(22)Ne-abundance ratio of 13.7, there is an ...

Tensor correlation, pairing interaction and deformation in Ne isotopes and Ne hypernuclei [PDF]
We study tensor and pairing effects on the quadruple deformation of neon isotopes based on a deformed Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model with BCS approximation for the pairing channel. We extend the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock formalism for the description of single- and
