Radioisotopic age constraints of the Cambrian Ritland impact structure, Norway

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Secondary ion mass spectrometry U‐Pb geochronology has been performed on zircon grains separated from impact melt rock from the 2.7 km‐in‐diameter Ritland impact structure, southwestern Norway. Scanning electron microscope‐based imaging techniques, including electron backscatter diffraction analysis, reveal various zircon grain microtextures ...

Recovering Cosmic Structure with a Simple Physical Constraint

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Radio observation of the large-scale structure (LSS) of our Universe faces major challenges from foreground contamination, which is many orders of magnitude stronger than the cosmic signal.

A statistical investigation into relationships between the IIE irons and the ordinary, F and “HH” chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been proposed that IIE iron meteorites formed through impact processes on a parent body that was composed of either the H chondrites or a much‐debated fourth ordinary chondrite group, the HH chondrites. To resolve this debate, we have compiled a large dataset for the ordinary chondrites, low‐fayalite ungrouped chondrites, and IIE irons,

Isotopic analysis of tochilinite (carbonate and magnetite) in Winchcombe: Temperature constraints on early‐stage aqueous alteration in the CM parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the first oxygen isotope measurements of tochilinite (δ17O: 11.0 ± 2.1‰, δ18O: 23.5 ± 4.0‰ and Δ17O: −1.1 ± 1.2‰) in a CM chondrite (Winchcombe, lithology C [CM2.2/2.3]). We analyzed type‐I tochilinite‐cronstedtite intergrowths (TCIs)—formed by pseudomorphic replacement of kamacite.

Causality and Prediction in Modern Cosmology

open access: yesJournal of Philosophical Investigations, 2016
The modern cosmology is based on the observational evidences, but several philosophical principles and metaphysical prejudices play an undeniable role in it. This paper surveys some important attitudes such as causality, prediction, determinism etc.

The Principle of Phase Transition Cosmology: The Current Universe Formed by the Evolution of Two-Component Quantum Superfluid

open access: yesReports in Advances of Physical Sciences
This paper aims to demonstrate that modern cosmology has overlooked the systematic and holistic aspects of the universe’s evolution. It is based on the notion that the primordial universe comprised a two-component quantum superfluid and a synthesis of ...

CMB Anisotropies, Cosmological Parameters and Fundamental Physics: Current Status & Perspectives

open access: yes, 2004
I describe briefly the Cosmic Microwave Background (hereafter CMB) physics which explains why high accuracy observations of its spatial structure are a unique observational tool both for the determination of the global cosmological parameters and to ...
