Temporal Variability of Saturn's H2 Dayglow and Northern Aurora Observed by Hisaki and Cassini
Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) emissions from molecular hydrogen in Saturn's atmosphere consist of bright auroral emission over the poles and disk‐wide airglow. The dayside disk emits substantial intensities (dayglow) previously detected by various instruments.

Jupiter's Auroral Ionosphere: Hybrid Monte Carlo, Auroral Spectrum and Conductivity Modeling
Abstract We present a new model of auroral precipitation and associated phenomena at Jupiter, called the Jupiter Auroral Ionosphere Code (JAIC). The hybrid model follows the primary electron population using a Monte Carlo code that runs on a GPU, and computes the contribution of the secondaries using a two‐stream approximation.

Martian Proton Albedo as Signature of Near‐Surface Water
Abstract Understanding the Martian soil water budget is crucial not only for in situ resource utilization in future human missions to Mars, but also for reconstructing the geological and climatic history of the planet, as well as to assess the potential of ancient or even present microbial life.

Effects of Comet Encke's Meteoroid Stream on the Seasonal Variation of Mercury's Ca Exosphere
Abstract Mercury's calcium (Ca) exosphere, observed by NASA's MESSENGER mission, exhibits high temperatures (>50000 K) and pronounced seasonal variability, with its source mainly on the dawn side. Enhanced Ca emission near True Anomaly Angle (TAA) ∼25° and ∼150° has been attributed to Comet 2P/Encke meteoroid streams.

Thermal Escape of Atomic Hydrogen on Mars: A Comprehensive View With a General Circulation Model
Abstract Mars loses water mainly through the photodissociation of water vapor, followed by the thermal escape of light hydrogen atoms. Observations have revealed large seasonal variations in hydrogen concentration in the upper thermosphere, peaking during southern summers and intensifying during dust storms.

Anhydrous minerals in asteroid Bennu: Evidence for well‐preserved primordial components
Abstract Aqueously altered carbonaceous astromaterials are dominated by secondary minerals, but a minor fraction of primary, anhydrous silicates and oxides escape alteration, offering insight into the original composition of asteroid parent bodies. We report the mineralogy, petrology, mineral chemistry, and oxygen isotopes of anhydrous minerals—50 ...

Abstract Asteroid compositional analysis relies on comparing reflectance spectra with laboratory data from well‐characterized meteorites. To advance this comparison, we performed a comprehensive laboratory analysis on a slab of the Northwest Africa (NWA) 7317—CR6 carbonaceous chondrite.

PES‐trotter is a cross‐platform open‐source application for the exploration and analysis of 3D potential‐energy landscapes associated to molecular systems. Along with video‐game‐like exploration, it allows plotting energy profiles from custom paths, computing critical points and minimum‐energy paths, and playing back dynamical trajectories. PES‐trotter

Abstract We report the detection of a traveling ionospheric disturbance (TID) captured by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) Active Ionospheric Sounding (AIS) instrument aboard the Mars Express spacecraft at 150–250 km altitude.
