Exoplanet Albedo Spectra and Colors as a Function of Planet Phase, Separation, and Metallicity by Cahoy, Kerri, Marley, Mark, Fortney, Jonathan

“…While solar system giant planets are well separated by their broadband colors, we find that arbitrary giant exoplanets can have a large range of possible colors and that color alone cannot be relied upon to characterize planet types. …”

Controls on eruption style at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea – insights from microlites, porosity and permeability measurements by Bernard, Olivier., Bouvet de Maisonneuve, Caroline

“…From the application of existing percolation models, we find that explosive products yield a percolation threshold comprised between 50 and 60 vol% total porosity, while petrophysical parameters of the lava flow and some of the ballistic bombs are explained by bubble collapse driven by surface tension. …”

When Do Investors Freak Out? Machine Learning Predictions of Panic Selling by Elkind, Daniel, Kaminski, Kathryn, Lo, Andrew W., Siah, Kien Wei, Wong, Chi Heem

“…Using a novel dataset of 653,455 individual brokerage accounts belonging to 298,556 households, we document the frequency, timing, and duration of panic sales, which we define as a decline of 90% of a household account’s equity assets over the course of one month, of which 50% or more is due to trades. We find that a disproportionate number of households make panic sales when there are sharp market downturns, a phenomenon we call ‘freaking out.’ …”
