Optimal Radio Window for the Detection of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays and Neutrinos off the Moon [PDF]
, 2005 When high-energy cosmic rays impinge on a dense dielectric medium, radio waves are produced through the Askaryan effect. We show that at wavelengths comparable to the length of the shower produced by an Ultra-High Energy cosmic ray or neutrino, radio ...

Intricate Regolith Reworking Processes Revealed by Microstructures on Lunar Impact Glasses
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2022 Glasses cooled from impact melt and vapor are a common component in lunar regolith, carrying important information about protolith composition, regolith formation, and impact flux on the Moon.

Hypotheses for near-surface exchange of methane on Mars [PDF]
, 2016 The Curiosity rover recently detected a background of 0.7 ppb and spikes of 7 ppb of methane on Mars. This in situ measurement reorients our understanding of the Martian environment and its potential for life, as the current theories do not entail any ...

Mid-Pleistocene transition in glacial cycles explained by declining CO2 and regolith removal
Science Advances, 2019 Model simulations reveal the importance of atmospheric CO2 and glacial erosion of regolith for Quaternary climate dynamics. Variations in Earth’s orbit pace the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary, but the mechanisms that transform regional and

Measurements of thermal properties of icy Mars regolith analogs [PDF]
, 2012 In a series of laboratory experiments, we measure thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity of icy regolith created by vapor deposition of water below its triple point and in a low pressure atmosphere.
