Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The paper summarizes 70 science cases for the proposed NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory, outlining the observational needs across four scientific pillars and detailing required ca…
Shaken, not stirred: inefficient mixing of CM- and CI-like materials
Sarah E. Anderson, Pierre Vernazza, Miroslav Broz
A recent study suggests that CM chondrite-like planetesimals formed in the vicinity of Saturn, in a pressure bump outside the gap carved by proto-Jupiter. While a fraction of these…
SF2A Environmental Transition Commission: Summary of the 2025 workshop
Faustine Cantalloube, Jack Berat, Naïs Fargette +12
During its annual conference in 2025, the French Society of Astronomy \& Astrophysics (SF2A) hosted, for the fifth time, a special session dedicated to discussing the environmental…
Habitable from the start: How initial planetary formation conditions may create habitable worlds
Benjamin J. Farcy, Darryl Z. Seligman, Kathleen E. Mandt +2
The breadth of topics that encompass the search for life has expanded and evolved significantly since the emergence of the field of astrobiology. Initial astrobiology centered inve…
Different arrival times of CM and CI-like bodies from the outer Solar System to the asteroid belt
Sarah E. Anderson, Pierre Vernazza, Miroslav Brož
Understanding the provenance of CI and CM chondrites, the most primitive materials in our meteorite collections, is critical for shedding light on the Solar System's early evolutio…
A multiscale hybrid Maxwellian-Monte-Carlo Coulomb collision algorithm for particle simulations
G. Chen, A. J. Stanier, L. Chacón +2
Coulomb collisions in particle simulations for weakly coupled plasmas are modeled by the Landau-Fokker-Planck equation, which is typically solved by Monte-Carlo (MC) methods. One o…
