Exploring the Interior Structure of (16) Psyche Through Basin‐Scale Collisions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche, the largest member of the M/X‐type asteroids, may be the leftover core of a differentiated planetesimal. As such (16) Psyche will be explored in detail by NASA's discovery‐class Psyche mission in 2029. This will be the first mission to orbit a metal‐rich asteroid, or any asteroid in the 100–500 km size range.

Carbon In Protoplanetary Disks

, 2018
The carbon and oxygen content of the solids in protoplanetary disks plays an important role in defining the composition of giant planet atmospheres. I will discuss what we know about the distribution of carbonaceous material in the solar system and discuss potential processes influencing its radial distribution. I will also present modeling results for

Emission from Multiple Molecular Isotopologues in a High-inclination Protoplanetary Disk

The Astronomical Journal
We present a MIRI-MRS spectrum of the high-inclination protoplanetary disk around the solar-mass (K0) star MY Lup, obtained as part of the JWST Disk Infrared Spectral Chemistry Survey (JDISCS). The spectrum shows an unusually weak water emission spectrum

Characteristics of Natural Remanence Records in Fine‐Grained Particles Returned From Asteroid Ryugu

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Particles collected from the asteroid Ryugu by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft offer a unique opportunity to investigate the magnetic record of the primitive solar system, as any terrestrial magnetic contamination is minimal and can be accounted for.

Exploring the Effects of Reduced Gravitational Field Impacts on Convective Heat Transfer: A Comprehensive Review

Heat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 764-774, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes.

Extinction Values toward Embedded Planets in Protoplanetary Disks Estimated from Hydrodynamic Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
Upcoming new coronographs with deeper contrast limits, together with planned and current high-contrast imaging campaigns, will push the detectability limit of protoplanets.

Halting Planet Migration in the Evacuated Centers of Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]

, 2002
Precise Doppler searches for extrasolar planets find a surfeit of planets with orbital periods of 3-4 days, and no planets with orbital periods less than 3 days.

Formation of Asteroid (16) Psyche by a Giant Impact

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest likely metal‐rich asteroid in the Solar System and the target of the NASA Psyche mission. The mission aims to determine whether the asteroid is the core of a differentiated planetesimal that lost its mantle via a giant impact.

Circumplanetary Disks are Rare Around Planets at Large Orbital Radii: A Parameter Survey of Flow Morphology Around Giant Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate how the formation and structure of circumplanetary disks (CPDs) vary with planet mass and protoplanetary disk aspect ratio. Using static mesh refinement and a near-isothermal equation of state, we perform a small parameter survey of ...
