Changes in a scientific concept: what is a planet? [PDF]

, 2007
The need for an explicit and exact definition of a planet has arise out of the growing rate of discovery of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) with physical and orbital properties comparable with those of Pluto, the smallest planet of the solar system.

Magnetic properties of geraisites, the first tektite strewn field identified in Brazil

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1163-1178, July 2026.
Abstract Geraisites are a newly recognized class of tektite from Brazil. They occur as centimeter‐sized, elongated to subspherical bodies scattered across surface gravel and shallow subsurface layers within a ~90‐km‐long strewn field extending between the municipalities of São João do Paraíso and Curral de Dentro, near the border between the states of ...

Tracing Hailstone Development: Isotopic Evidence and Microphysical Variability in Texas Supercell Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Two supercell thunderstorms that occurred in Del Rio and Burkburnett, Texas in the spring of 2020 produced greater than 5 cm diameter hailstones. Fourteen hailstones, eight from Del Rio and six from Burkburnett, were cut in half along the maximum principal axis. Half the hailstone was dissected at 0.5 cm increments, providing 198 subsamples of

An Analysis of Hurricane Eyewall Ice Using a Novel Lagrangian Trajectory and Growth Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Ice crystals in tropical cyclones (TCs) remain infrequently observed and difficult to model using Eulerian microphysics parameterizations. To better understand TC eyewall ice crystal processes, the Ice Crystal Trajectory Growth (ICTG) model, previously applied to an idealized squall line, was used to simulate Lagrangian ice crystal ...

Close approach maneuvers around an oblate planet

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015
There are many applications of the close approach maneuvers in astronautics, and several missions used this technique in the last decades. In the present work, those close approach maneuvers are revisited, but now considering that the spacecraft passes around an oblate planet.

Exploring Global Patterns of Trace Metal Limitation as a Regulator of the Distribution of Dominant Marine Phytoplankton Groups

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
By synthesizing decades of culture data with modern oceanographic datasets, we modelled trace metal limitation of phytoplankton. Our analysis reaffirms the critical role of iron but additionally highlights a significant, growing impact of zinc on the biological pump in future oceans.

Impact and Crystallization Modeling of the Sudbury Basin and Its Implications for a Hadean Crust

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The 1.85 Ga Sudbury Structure hosts Earth's largest and best‐preserved impact‐induced melt sheet, the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), which crystallized into distinct noritic, gabbroic, and granophyric layers. We conduct impact simulations with iSALE‐2D and crystallization modeling using alphaMELTS 2 to track the formation and evolution of the ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Temporal Variability of Saturn's H2 Dayglow and Northern Aurora Observed by Hisaki and Cassini

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
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.

Uncertainity of satellite – gravity – derived Moho estimates : Contribution of data reductions [PDF]

, 2019
In the last years, the unparalleled spatial homogeneity provided by satellite-only global gravity models has been successfully exploited to obtain estimates on mass distribution in the solid Earth.
