The Ames impact structure, Oklahoma: New radioisotopic constraints and implications for North American impact chronology

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Ames impact structure (Oklahoma) is thought to have formed during the Ordovician Meteor Event, based on conodont biostratigraphy of its crater fill. Here, U–Pb zircon dates from its impact‐melt portion, conducted using secondary ion mass spectrometry and laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (n = 37 spots), yield a ...

Improving Predictions of High‐Latitude Coronal Mass Ejections Throughout the Heliosphere

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2020
Predictions of the impact of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the heliosphere mostly rely on cone CME models, whose performances are optimized for locations in the ecliptic plane and at 1 AU (e.g., at Earth).

Potassium isotopic compositions and exposure ages of evolved and silica‐rich achondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Some of the oldest igneous rocks in the Solar System include evolved and silica‐rich achondrites that originate from parent bodies less than 1000 km in diameter, referred to as planetesimals. While Earth was initially in a molten state and required continental crust formation and plate tectonics to generate andesite bulk compositions, evolved ...

Astrophysical plasmas and fluids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
This book is a valuable introduction to astrophyscial plasmas and fluids for graduate students of astronomy preparing either for a research career in the field or just aspiring to achieve a decent degree of familiarity with 99% of the cosmos. The contents provide a true representation of the phenomenal diversity of dominant roles that plasmas and ...

Mass Cycle and Dynamics of a Virtual Quiescent Prominence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The mass cycle of solar prominences or filaments is still not completely understood. Researchers agree that these dense structures form by coronal in situ condensations and plasma siphoning from the underlying chromosphere.

Impact provenance and age of a unique basalt found in Apollo 12 regolith

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Basaltic sample 12032,366‐18 from the Apollo 12 landing site is distinct among basalts collected at this site, other Apollo landing sites, and lunar meteorites in terms of its age, bulk rock composition, and isotopic composition. We present new Pb isotopic data obtained by in situ Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry on multiple mineral phases in ...

Collisionless Shocks: Contemporary State After Three Quarters of a Century of Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The collisionless shock research started in the late 1950s. Since then, plenty of data have been accumulated due to the large number of missions in the heliosphere, providing in situ measurements of the fields and particles. The quality of these measurements has vastly improved, especially in the last two decades.

Radiobiology studies of gold nanoparticle‐enhanced radiosensitization in proton therapy

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Approximately 50%$\%$ of newly diagnosed cancer patients worldwide receive radiotherapy, most commonly with X‐rays. Proton therapy has emerged as a promising alternative, offering complementary advantages over conventional X‐rays due to its highly localized energy deposition at the Bragg peak, thereby reducing radiation exposure to ...

Introduction to plasma astrophysics characteristics of astrophysical plasma high density plasma.

open access: yesKakuyūgō kenkyū, 1989
Property of High Density Matter with density from 1g/cm3 to 1016g/cm3 is argued. Using the equation of state for high density matter, the equilibrium structure of high density star is discussed. There are two phases of high density stars. They are white dwarf and neutron star. Each has a maximum possible mass.

Excitation of Large Amplitude Compressional ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere by Solar Wind Pressure Spikes and IMF Southward Turning

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a case study of large amplitude, compressional Pc5 waves observed by GOES 13 and 15 at geosynchronous orbit near noon. These waves were excited near the arrival time of two consecutive solar wind dynamic pressure spikes at the magnetopause, the second of which was associated with a large and rapid southward turning of the ...
