A Post‐Launch Summary of the Science of NASA's Psyche Mission
AGU Advances, Volume 5, Issue 2, April 2024.Abstract Astronomical observations indicate that asteroid (16) Psyche is a large, high‐density (likely >3,400 kg·m−3), metal‐rich (30–55 vol. %) asteroid. Psyche may be remnant core material or it could be a primordial, undifferentiated metal‐rich object.

The Astrophysical JournalWe present an imaging survey of the Spitzer I star-forming region in NGC 6822 conducted with the NIRCam and MIRI instruments on board JWST. Located at a distance of 490 kpc, NGC 6822 is the nearest non-interacting low-metallicity (∼0.2 Z _⊙ ) dwarf ...

How many Vesta‐like bodies existed in the asteroid belt?
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 878-894, April 2024.Abstract Asteroid 4 Vesta is typically thought to be the parent body of the HED (howardite, eucrite, and diogenite) meteorites due to spectral similarities. The discovery of asteroids far from Vesta with HED‐like spectra like (1459) Magnya and HED‐like meteorites (e.g., NWA 011) with anomalous oxygen isotopic values compared to typical HEDs is evidence

Heavy Elements and Electromagnetic Transients from Neutron Star Mergers
Annalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.Astro‐(physics) has made major leaps forward through the combined information provided by both gravitational waves and electromagnetic emission from the first detected neutron star merger event. This review provides an up‐to‐date overview of today's understanding of neutron star mergers and their electromagnetic emission and it discusses possible ...

Probing Reflection from Aerosols with the Near-infrared Dayside Spectrum of WASP-80b
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The presence of aerosols is intimately linked to the global energy budget and the composition of a planet’s atmosphere. Their ability to reflect incoming light prevents energy from being deposited into the atmosphere, and they shape the spectra of ...

Stability of the Infrared Array Camera for the Spitzer Space Telescope [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2008 We present an analysis of the stability of the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope over the first 4.5 years of in-flight operations. IRAC consists of two InSb and two Si:As 256x256 imaging arrays with passbands centered on 3.6, 4.5. 5.8 and 8.0 microns.
