Metal-rich stars are less suitable for the evolution of life on their planets

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Atmospheric ozone and oxygen protect the terrestrial biosphere against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Here, we model atmospheres of Earth-like planets hosted by stars with near-solar effective temperatures (5300 to 6300 K) and a broad range of ...

Simplified Relations for the Martian Night-Time OH* Suitable for the Interpretation of Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Observations of excited hydroxyl (OH*) emissions are broadly used for inferring information about atmospheric dynamics and composition. We present several analytical approximations for characterizing the excited hydroxyl layer in the Martian atmosphere ...

Determination of Spatial Scale in Martian Landscape Images Acquired by the Curiosity Rover, and Viewing Image Scale and Target Chemistry Using the ASIC Website

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2023
In this paper we describe a method to compute spatial scales for images acquired by NASA's Mars Curiosity rover (Mars Science Laboratory, MSL). The method is based on the assumption that the rover stands on an infinite plane that may have any orientation

Brine residues and organics in the Urvara basin on Ceres

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The authors report the discovery of salts and fresh organic-rich exposures in the Urvara basin, possibly linked to a late resurfacing of the crater floor. These results are consistent with a deep-seated brine/salt reservoir in the crust of Ceres.

Development of Synthesis and Fabrication Process for Mn-CeO2 Foam via Two-Step Water-Splitting Cycle Hydrogen Production

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The effects of doping manganese ions into a cerium oxide lattice for a thermochemical two-step water-splitting cycle to produce oxygen and hydrogen and new synthesis methods were experimentally investigated.

Solar System binaries [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005
The discovery of binaries in each of the major populations of minor bodies in the solar system is propelling a rapid growth of heretofore unattainable physical information. The availability of mass and density constraints for minor bodies opens the door to studies of internal structure, comparisons with meteorite samples, and correlations between bulk-

Computation of irradiance in a solar still by using a refined algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A refined solar algorithm from the ESP-r system has been used to calculate the distribution of solar irradiation inside a basin-type solar still. In the approach, surface finish, view factors and multiple reflections are taken into consideration in the ...

Hydrogen at the rooftop: Compact CPV-hydrogen system to convert sunlight to hydrogen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Despite being highest potential energy source, solar intermittency and low power density make it difficult for solar energy to compete with the conventional power plants. Highly efficient concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system provides best technology to

In Situ Optimized Substrate Witness Plates: Ground Truth for Key Processes on the Moon and Other Planets

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2023
Future exploration efforts of the Moon, Mars, and other bodies are poised to focus heavily on persistent and sustainable survey and research efforts, especially given the recent interest in a long‐term sustainable human presence at the Moon. Key to these
