Ultracool Dwarfs Observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph: Equatorial Latitudes in L Dwarf Atmospheres Are Cloudier

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We report direct observational evidence for a latitudinal dependence of dust cloud opacity in ultracool dwarfs, indicating that equatorial latitudes are cloudier than polar latitudes.

Governing Positive Energy Districts: The Role of Legitimation and Identity Across Residential and Industrial Contexts

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 751-767, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing electricity demand from data centres, industrial applications, electric vehicles and domestic heating is creating pressure to develop electricity systems in many parts of the world, but especially in Western countries. In response to challenges such as grid congestion, interconnection queues and climate‐related hazards, network ...

Tidal Dissipation in Stratified and Semi-convective Regions of Giant Planets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study how stably stratified or semi-convective layers alter the tidal dissipation rates associated with the generation of internal waves in planetary interiors.

Peaking Into Oberon's Past: An Isolated Peak Could Imply the Existence of a Subsurface Ocean or Convecting Ice Shell

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Uranian moons, last visited in 1986 by Voyager 2, remain an intriguing yet under‐explored set of targets. Understanding the thermal structure and evolution of these moons is key to addressing one of the highest priority goals in planetary science: identifying if any are ocean worlds today or have been in the past. On Oberon, one feature in

Propagation and Transmission of Jupiter’s Internal Waves

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Observations from the Juno spacecraft show that Jupiter has a large dilute core rather than a compact core. To investigate the effects of different core structures on wave propagation and transmission in Jupiter’s interior, we consider three models: (1 ...

Comparing Monte Carlo Models of Impact Alteration of Planetary Atmospheres

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract One process that affects atmospheric surface pressure is impact bombardment. The evolution of a planet's atmosphere under impact bombardment is an open question. We use a Monte Carlo method to evolve a range (0.006–92.5 bar) of initial atmospheres at Mars, Earth, and Venus under bombardment of 5×106 $5\times 1{0}^{6}$ impactors using seven ...

A Pan-STARRS1 Search for Planet Nine

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present a search for Planet Nine using the second data release of the Pan-STARRS1 survey. We rule out the existence of a Planet Nine with the characteristics of that predicted in Brown & Batygin to a 50% completion depth of V = 21.5.

Massive Rocky Planets May Suppress Deep Melting

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Melting properties of silicates are critical to understanding the thermal evolution of rocky planetary interiors. In the deep mantles of massive rocky planets, post‐post‐spinel Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{2}{\text{SiO}}_{4}$ is potentially one of the most abundant mineral phases, yet its melting behavior remains unconstrained. Here, we determine the

The Link between Athor and EL Meteorites Does Not Constrain the Timing of the Giant Planet Instability

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The asteroid Athor, residing today in the inner main asteroid belt, has been recently identified as the source of EL enstatite meteorites to Earth. It has been argued that Athor formed in the terrestrial region—as indicated by a similarity in isotopic ...
