Abstract The O‐, N‐, Mo‐, Ru‐, Os‐, Cr‐, Ti‐, Ni‐, Fe‐, Nd‐, Ca‐, Zn‐, Sr‐, and Mg‐isotopic compositions of enstatite chondrites are essentially identical to those of the Earth and Moon. These correspondences suggest enstatite chondrites formed at ≈1 AU as the only known chondrite groups that accreted in the vicinity of a major planet. Bulk Earth has a

Spectroscopic Survey of Faint Planetary-nebula Nuclei. IV. The A35-type Central Star of Pa 27
We present optical spectroscopy of the 12th-magnitude central star of the planetary nebula (PN) Patchick 27 (Pa 27), obtained during a survey of faint PN nuclei (PNNs) with the Low-Resolution Spectrograph of the Hobby–Eberly Telescope.

Planetary nebulae in M32 and the bulge of M31: Line intensities and oxygen abundances [PDF]
We present spectroscopy of planetary nebulae in M32 and in the bulge of M31 that we obtained with the MOS spectrograph at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Our sample includes 30 planetary nebulae in M31 and 9 planetary nebulae in M32. We also observed

Morphologies of Planetary Nebulae with Close-Binary Nuclei [PDF]
We will present photographic and CCD images of planetary nebulae that are known, on the basis of photometric observations of the central stars, to possess close-binary nuclei. All of the orbital periods range from 2.7 to 16 hours, except for the 16-day binary nucleus of NGC 2346.

Physiology of nitrogen: A life or death matter
Abstract With each breath, four out of every five molecules we inspire are nitrogen (N2), since this gas constitutes ∼80% of the atmospheric air that surrounds us. Despite its abundance and unlike molecular oxygen, N2 has traditionally held less appeal among physiologists given its lack of reactivity and corresponding inability to support combustion or

Evidence for binarity in the bipolar planetary nebulae A79, He2-428 and M1-91 [PDF]
We present low and high resolution long-slit spectra of three bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) with bright central cores: A79, He2-428 and M1-91. He2-428 and M1-91 have high density (from 10^3.3 to 10^6.5 cm^-3) unresolved nebular cores that indicate that

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability
Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Birth and early evolution of a planetary nebula [PDF]
The final expulsion of gas by a star as it forms a planetary nebula --- the ionized shell of gas often observed surrounding a young white dwarf --- is one of the most poorly understood stages of stellar evolution.

KINEMATICAL PROPERTIES OF PLANETARY NEBULAE WITH WR-TYPE NUCLEI
We have carried out integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy of H$ $, [N II] and [O III] emission lines for a sample of Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) with Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and weak emission-line stars (wels). Comparing their spatially-resolved kinematic observations with morpho-kinematic models allowed us to disentangle their three-dimensional ...

Löpönvaara: A new phosphorus‐rich iron meteorite from Finland
Abstract Löpönvaara is a rare new phosphorus‐rich iron meteorite find from Löpönvaara, Finland. The ~164 g meteorite was discovered in 2017 from the same area as the ungrouped Lieksa pallasite. Löpönvaara was classified as an ungrouped iron meteorite due to its unusually high concentration of P (>4 wt%), coupled with a moderate concentration of Ni (~11
