What confines the rings of Saturn?

Radwan Tajeddine, Philip D. Nicholson, Pierre-Yves Longaretti +2

The viscous spreading of planetary rings is believed to be counteracted by satellite torques, either through an individual resonance or through overlapping resonances. For the A ri…

A history of violence: insights into post-accretionary heating in carbonaceous chondrites from volatile element abundances, Zn isotopes, and water contents

Brandon Mahan, Frederic Moynier, Pierre Beck +2

Carbonaceous chondrites (CCs) may have been the carriers of water, volatile and moderately volatile elements to Earth. Investigating the abundances of these elements, their relativ…
