Probing the icy shell structure of ocean worlds with gravity-topography admittance
Ryunosuke Akiba, Anton I. Ermakov, Burkhard Militzer
The structure of the icy shells of ocean worlds is important for understanding the stability of their underlying oceans as it controls the rate at which heat can be transported out…
On the Effect of Magnetospheric Shielding on the Lunar Hydrogen Cycle
Orenthal J. Tucker, William M. Farrell, Andrew R. Poppe
We examine how water is produced globally over the lunar surface as it orbits in/out of the magnetotail. Due to the interaction of the solar wind (SW) with Earth's magnetic field,…
Chondrules from high-velocity collisions: thermal histories and the agglomeration problem
Nick Choksi, Eugene Chiang, Harold C. Connolly +2
We assess whether chondrules, once-molten mm-sized spheres filling the oldest meteorites, could have formed from super-km/s collisions between planetesimals in the solar nebula. Hi…
Atmospheric Escape Processes and Planetary Atmospheric Evolution
Guillaume Gronoff, Phil Arras, Suleiman M Baraka +17
The habitability of the surface of any planet is determined by a complex evolution of its interior, surface, and atmosphere. The electromagnetic and particle radiation of stars dri…
O()+CO scattering cross sections at superthermal collision energies for planetary aeronomy
Marko Gacesa, Robert J. Lillis, Kevin J. Zahnle
We report new elastic and inelastic cross sections for O()+CO scattering at collision energies from 0.03 to 5 eV, of major importance to O escape from Mars, Venus, and CO$…
The surprisingly low carbon mass in the debris disk around HD 32297
Gianni Cataldi, Yanqin Wu, Alexis Brandeker +18
Gas has been detected in a number of debris disks. It is likely secondary, i.e. produced by colliding solids. Here, we report ALMA Band 8 observations of neutral carbon in the CO-r…
Strange messenger: A new history of hydrogen on Earth, as told by Xenon
Kevin J. Zahnle, Marko Gacesa, David C. Catling
Atmospheric xenon is strongly mass fractionated, the result of a process that apparently continued through the Archean and perhaps beyond. Previous models that explain Xe fractiona…
Fine-grained Material Associated with a Large Sulfide returned from Comet 81P/Wild 2
Zack Gainsforth, Andrew J. Westphal, Anna L. Butterworth +10
In a consortium analysis of a large particle captured from the coma of comet 81P/Wild 2 by the Stardust spacecraft, we report the discovery of a field of fine-grained material (FGM…
Measurement of the Oxidation state of Fe in the ISM using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy
Andrew J. Westphal, Anna L. Butterworth, John A. Tomsick +1
The oxidation state of iron in the interstellar medium (ISM) can provide constraints on the processes that operated on material in the protosolar disk. We used synchrotron-based X-…
Modeling Martian Atmospheric Losses over Time: Implications for Exoplanetary Climate Evolution and Habitability
Chuanfei Dong, Yuni Lee, Yingjuan Ma +11
In this Letter, we make use of sophisticated 3D numerical simulations to assess the extent of atmospheric ion and photochemical losses from Mars over time. We demonstrate that the…
Solar wind interaction with the Martian upper atmosphere: Roles of the cold thermosphere and hot oxygen corona
Chuanfei Dong, Stephen W. Bougher, Yingjuan Ma +10
We study roles of the thermosphere and exosphere on the Martian ionospheric structure and ion escape rates in the process of the solar wind-Mars interaction. We employ a four-speci…
The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: 1.1-1.9 GHz observations of 692 Nearby Stars
J. Emilio Enriquez, Andrew Siemion, Griffin Foster +10
We report on a search for engineered signals from a sample of 692 nearby stars using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, undertaken as part of the $Breakthrough~Listen~Initiat…
The Future of Stardust Science
A. J. Westphal, J. C. Bridges, D. E. Brownlee +13
Recent observations indicate that >99% of the small bodies in the Solar System reside in its outer reaches --- in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Kuiper Belt bodies are probably th…
Planck intermediate results. LII. Planet flux densities
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, M. Ashdown +147
Measurements of flux density are described for five planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, across the six Planck High Frequency Instrument frequency bands (100-857 GH…
Plutos interaction with its space environment: Solar Wind, Energetic Particles & Dust
F. Bagenal, M. Horányi, D. J. McComas +23
The New Horizons spacecraft carried three instruments that measured the space environment near Pluto as it flew by on 14 July 2015. The Solar Wind Around Pluto instrument revealed…
Transiting Exoplanet Studies and Community Targets for JWST's Early Release Science Program
Kevin B. Stevenson, Nikole K. Lewis, Jacob L. Bean +49
The James Webb Space Telescope will revolutionize transiting exoplanet atmospheric science due to its capability for continuous, long-duration observations and its larger collectin…
High-altitude gravity waves in the Martian thermosphere observed by MAVEN/NGIMS and modeled by a gravity wave scheme
Erdal Yiğit, Scott L. England, Guiping Liu +4
First high-altitude observations of gravity wave (GW)-induced CO density perturbations in the Martian thermosphere retrieved from NASA's NGIMS instrument on board the MAVEN sat…
Modeling Indications of Technology in Planetary Transit Light Curves -- Dark-side illumination
Eric J. Korpela, Shauna M. Sallmen, Diana Leystra Greene
We analyze potential effects of an extraterrestrial civilization's use of orbiting mirrors to illuminate the dark side of a synchronously rotating planet on planetary transit light…
EUV and X-Ray Observations of Comet Lovejoy (C/2011 W3) in the Lower Corona
Patrick I. McCauley, Steven H. Saar, John C. Raymond +2
We present an analysis of EUV and soft X-ray emission detected toward Comet Lovejoy (C/2011 W3) during its post-perihelion traverse of the solar corona on December 16, 2011. Observ…
The Discovery of HD 37605c and a Dispositive Null Detection of Transits of HD 37605b
