Probing the use of spectroscopy to determine the meteoritic analogues of meteors by Drouard, A, Vernazza, P, Loehle, S, Gattacceca, J, Vaubaillon, J, Zanda, B, Birlan, M, Bouley, S, Colas, F, Eberhart, M, Hermann, T, Jorda, L, Marmo, C, Meindl, A, Oefele, R, Zamkotsian, F, Zander, F

“…<p><strong>Context:</strong><br /> Determining the source regions of meteorites is one of the major goals of current research in planetary science. Whereas asteroid observations are currently unable to pinpoint the source regions of most meteorite classes, observations of meteors with camera networks and the subsequent recovery of the meteorite may help make progress on this question. …”

Jupiter's stratospheric hydrocarbons and temperatures after the July 2009 impact from VLT infrared spectroscopy by Fletcher, L, Orton, G, de Pater, I, Mousis, O

“…Ethane was enhanced by 1.7-3.2 times the background abundance on July 26, implying production as the result of shock chemistry in a high C/O ratio environment, favouring an asteroidal origin for the 2009 impactor. Small enhancements in acetylene emission were also observed over the impact site. …”

The Luminous Type Ia Supernova 2022ilv and Its Early Excess Emission by Shubham Srivastav, S. J. Smartt, M. E. Huber, G. Dimitriadis, K. C. Chambers, Michael D. Fulton, Thomas Moore, F. P. Callan, James H. Gillanders, K. Maguire, M. Nicholl, Luke J. Shingles, S. A. Sim, K. W. Smith, J. P. Anderson, Thomas de Boer, Ting-Wan Chen, Hua Gao, D. R. Young

“…We present observations and analysis of the hostless and luminous Type Ia supernova 2022ilv, illustrating it is part of the 2003fg-like family, often referred to as super-Chandrasekhar (Ia-SC) explosions. The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System light curve shows evidence of a short-lived, pulse-like early excess, similar to that detected in another luminous Type Ia supernova (SN 2020hvf). …”

Seasonal Thaws under Mid- to Low-pressure Atmospheres on Early Mars by Paolo Simonetti, Giovanni Vladilo, Stavro L. Ivanovski, Laura Silva, Lorenzo Biasiotti, Michele Maris, Giuseppe Murante, Erica Bisesi, Sergio Monai

“…These results are obtained without the need for additional greenhouse gases (e.g., H _2 , CH _4 ) or transient heat-injecting phenomena (e.g., asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions). A moderate amount (0.1%–1%) of CH _4 significantly widens the parameter space region in which seasonal thaws are possible.…”

Solar Evolution Models with a Central Black Hole by Earl P. Bellinger, Matt E. Caplan, Taeho Ryu, Deepika Bollimpalli, Warrick H. Ball, Florian Kühnel, R. Farmer, S. E. de Mink, Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard

“…Such an object would have formed within the first 1 s after the Big Bang with the mass of a moon or an asteroid. These light BHs are a candidate solution to the dark matter problem, and could grow to become stellar-mass BHs if captured by stars. …”

Reconstruction of Bennu Particle Events From Sparse Data by John Y. Pelgrift, Erik J. Lessac‐Chenen, Coralie D. Adam, Jason M. Leonard, Derek S. Nelson, Leilah McCarthy, Eric M. Sahr, Andrew Liounis, Michael Moreau, Brent J. Bos, Carl W. Hergenrother, Dante S. Lauretta

“…Abstract OSIRIS‐REx began observing particle ejection events shortly after entering orbit around near‐Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu in January 2019. For some of these events, the only observations of the ejected particles come from the first two images taken immediately after the event by OSIRIS‐REx's NavCam 1 imager. …”
