Iron and copper sulfides in asteroid (162173) Ryugu: Formation conditions and a comparison to the CI and CY chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 506-528, March 2025.
Abstract JAXA's Hayabusa2 sample return mission visited the volatile‐rich carbonaceous (C‐type) asteroid (162173) Ryugu with the aim of ground‐truthing remote observations, returning a pristine sample from a C‐type asteroid, and strengthening links between asteroids and the meteorite collection. Here, we have conducted a systematic study of coarse (>10

The Web of Micro-Structures in IC 4593

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
In addition to large-scale structures, planetary nebulae (PNe) show small-scale structures that emit mainly in low-ionization species such as [N ii], [S ii], [O ii], and [O i], known as LISs.

The evolving spectrum of the planetary nebula Hen 2-260

open access: yes, 2014
We analysed the planetary nebula Hen 2-260 using optical spectroscopy and photometry. We compared our observations with the data from literature to search for evolutionary changes.

The solar system Fe/Mg ratio

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 529-543, March 2025.
Abstract Solar wind Fe and Mg fluences (atoms/cm2) were measured from Genesis collectors. Fe and Mg have similar first ionization potentials and solar wind Fe/Mg should equal the solar ratio. Solar wind Fe/Mg is a more valid measure of solar composition than CI chondrites and can be measured more accurately than spectroscopic photospheric abundances ...

The Origin of the Consistent Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function Bright-end Cutoff

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The [O iii ] 5007 Å line is typically the brightest line in planetary nebula (PN) spectra. Observations show that the brightest [O iii ] 5007 Å PN in a galaxy—the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) bright-end cutoff—is surprisingly independent ...

Mid‐infrared detection and characterization of refractory inclusions in CM and CO chondrites: A non‐destructive approach for returned space samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 544-569, March 2025.
Abstract Refractory inclusions (RIs) in chondrites are widely used as tracers of early solar system formation conditions. In the context of sample‐return missions, a non‐destructive and non‐invasive analytical tool that can rapidly detect and characterize RIs in space samples during their early phase of study is highly needed.

Protracted Timescales for Nebular Processing of First-formed Solids in the Solar System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The calcium–aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) from chondritic meteorites are the first solids formed in the solar system. Rim formation around CAIs marks a time period in early solar system history when CAIs existed as free-floating objects and had not yet

Exploring the high abundance discrepancy in the planetary nebula IC 4663

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
This article presents an in-depth analysis of integral field unit spectroscopy performed on the Galactic planetary nebula (PN) IC 4663, with a primary focus on investigating its physical characteristics, chemical composition, and morphological properties.

On the O II ground configuration energy levels

open access: yes, 2004
The most accurate way to measure the energy levels for the O II 2p^3 ground configuration has been from the forbidden lines in planetary nebulae. We present an analysis of modern planetary nebula data that nicely constrain the splitting within the ^2D ...

VIS‐to‐MIR reflectance and Raman spectroscopy of the CM2 NWA 12184 carbonaceous chondrite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 570-595, March 2025.
Abstract The spectral analysis of CM meteorites can help to constrain the mineralogical composition of their parent body, the C‐type asteroids. The CM2 NWA 12184 was spectrally examined employing seven complementary techniques at different spatial resolutions, including VIS‐to‐MIR reflectance and Raman spectroscopy.
