Redox state during core formation on asteroid 4-Vesta

James Badro

Core formation is the main differentiation event in the history of a planet. However, the chemical composition of planetary cores and the physicochemical conditions prevailing during core formation remain poorly understood. The asteroid 4-Vesta is the smal ...

Four-dimensional distribution of the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull volcanic cloud over Europe observed by EARLINET

Valentin Simeonov, Ilya Serikov, Ivan Videnov Grigorov, Xiao Wang, Frank Rüdiger Wagner, Valentin Mitev

The eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull in April-May 2010 represents a "natural experiment" to study the impact of volcanic emissions on a continental scale. For the first time, quantitative data about the presence, altitude, and layering of ...

The CORALIE survey for southern extrasolar planets XVI. Discovery of a planetary system around HD 147018 and of two long period and massive planets orbiting HD 171238 and HD 204313

We report the detection of a double planetary system around HD 140718 as well as the discovery of two long period and massive planets orbiting HD 171238 and HD 204313. Those discoveries were made with the CORALIE Echelle spectrograph mounted on the 1.2-m E ...

Orbital Currents in Extended Hubbard Models of High-T-c Cuprate Superconductors

Frédéric Mila, Cédric Weber, Thierry Giamarchi

Motivated by the recent report of broken time-reversal symmetry and zero momentum magnetic scattering in underdoped cuprates, we investigate under which circumstances orbital currents circulating inside a unit cell might be stabilized in extended Hubbard m ...

NanoSIMS: Insights to biogenicity and syngeneity of Archaean carbonaceous structures

Anders Meibom, François Robert

NanoSIMS is a relatively new technology that is being applied to ancient carbonaceous structures to gain insight into their biogenicity and syngeneity. NanoSIMS studies of well preserved organic microfossils from the Neoproterozoic (similar to 0.8Ga) Bitte ...

MEMS FOR SPACE

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Sebastian Gautsch, Wilfried Noell

Future space exploration will emphasize on cost effectiveness and highly focused mission objectives. Missions costs are directly proportional to its total weight, thus, the trend will be to replace bulky and heavy components of space carriers, communicatio ...

Flares from a candidate Galactic magnetar suggest a missing link to dim isolated neutron stars

Andrea Kraus

Magnetars(1) are young neutron stars with very strong magnetic fields of the order of 10(14)-10(15) G. They are detected in our Galaxy either as soft gamma-ray repeaters or anomalous X-ray pulsars. Soft gamma-ray repeaters are a rare type of gamma-ray tran ...

H-2-rich fluids from serpentinization: Geochemical and biotic implications

Anders Meibom

Metamorphic hydration and oxidation of ultramafic rocks produces serpentinites, composed of serpentine group minerals and varying amounts of brucite, magnetite, and/or FeNi alloys. These minerals buffer imetamorphic fluids to extremely reducing conditions ...

Physical properties of liquid Fe alloys at high pressure and their bearings on the nature of metallic planetary cores

Philippe Gillet

[1] Sulfur and silicon are among the expected alloying light elements in planetary liquid iron cores. Structural properties of Fe-27 wt % S and Fe-17 wt % Si liquid alloys at high pressure and high temperature (0-5 GPa/1400-2300 K) are measured by synchrot ...
