Updates, Examples and Validation of the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study provides an updated description, example simulations, and validation of the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM). The updates to GITM include using an exothermic semi‐implicit chemistry scheme that no longer requires an altitude dependent heating efficiency; an ionospheric wind‐driven dynamo; improved neutral, ion, and ...

Comparison of ICON/MIGHTI and TIMED/SABER Neutral Temperature Measurements at Conjunctions in the Lower Thermosphere

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study presents a cross‐comparison of mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) neutral temperatures between 88 and 110 km measured by ICON/Michelson Interferometer for Global High‐resolution Thermospheric Imaging (MIGHTI) and Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics/Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission ...

Microspherules formed by lightning strikes

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 743-767, May 2026.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Mountain‐top spherules: Criteria to identify natural and synthetic particles

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 898-913, May 2026.
Abstract Natural microspherules are important tracers of geologic and environmental processes in modern and ancient deposits. However, anthropogenic contamination can dilute natural collections by releasing synthetic microspherules into the environment.

Topographical Features of the Lunar Surface Unveiled Through Spherical Geodesic Triangulation Analysis Method of DEM Roughness at Equal Spatial Scales

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This study introduces an innovative method using equal spherical geodesic triangulation to uniformly sample the digital elevation model (DEM) of the lunar surface, ensuring an even distribution of elevation data. Utilizing spherical spline fitting, we have proposed new methods for calculating slope angles and aspects. An equilateral triangular

Twist and non-twist regimes of the oblate planet problem

open access: yesRendiconti Lincei, Matematica e Applicazioni, 2017
We consider the dynamics of a point-mass object, e.g. a small satellite, around a primary rigid body, e.g. a planet. We assume that the planet is oblate and axially symmetric with respect to the vertical axis. Revisiting a procedure described in [19], we make use of the first integrals (the energy and the projection of the angular momentum on the ...
