ON THE EVOLUTION OF DUST MINERALOGY, FROM PROTOPLANETARY DISKS TO PLANETARY SYSTEMS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 Mineralogical studies of silicate features emitted by dust grains in protoplanetary disks and Solar System bodies can shed light on the progress of planet formation. The significant fraction of crystalline material in comets, chondritic meteorites and interplanetary dust particles indicates a modification of the almost completely amorphous ISM dust ...

Time-resolved Raman spectroscopy for in situ planetary mineralogy [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2010 Planetary mineralogy can be revealed through a variety of remote sensing and in situ investigations that precede any plans for eventual sample return. We briefly review those techniques and focus on the capabilities for on-surface in situ examination of Mars, Venus, the Moon, asteroids, and other bodies.

Characterization of ferric hydroxysulfate on Mars and implications of the geochemical environment supporting its formation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSulfate minerals are significant components of the martian surface and provide clues about the martian geochemical environment. One unusual Fe-sulfate phase has been intriguing Mars scientists for over a decade due to its unique spectral bands that are ...

Доповiдi Нацiональної академiї наук України, 2023 The Ternuvate strata comprise metamorphic rocks that make up the Haichur arcuate structure, which is about 72 km long. Its western part lies within the Andriivka fault zone, which separates the Vovcha and Huliaipole blocks, while the eastern part is ...

Salt Distribution from Freezing Intrusions in Ice Shells on Ocean Worlds: Application to Europa
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Several icy moons and dwarf planets appear to have hosted subsurface liquid water. Liquid water intruding upwards into the icy outer shells of these worlds freezes, forming ice and (from ocean solutes) non-ice solids.
