Quick link to the current (5 Feb) Science Advances (vol. 11, issue 6). I don’t like to dwell on the one negative, overhyped aspect of asteroid studies, but Bennu publicity is Bennu publicity, oh well: Dai, L. Timmermann, A. Climatic… Read More »Note, Paper: Sci Advances… into the ground
Nothing for January (and February, so far) from Cometary Science Newsletter. Yes, comets aren’t very cooperative for human schedules.
In the Jan-Feb issue of MIT Technology Review (vol 128 #1), bit of ‘popular’ press coverage: Nordrum, Amy Vera C. Rubin Observatory p. 23Mann, Adam The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is ready to transform our understanding of the cosmos p.50… Read More »Tech Rev. Prev.
Oops, forgot there was a mid-month Advances in Space Research. For Jan 15 (vol. 75 #2): de Almeida, A. K. Vaillant, T. Santos, L. B. T. et al. Low-thrust transfer with Theory of Functional Connections: Application to 243 Ida with… Read More »Note, Paper: Advances in Sail Res
The big news of the weekend was the Bennu analyses. I didn’t really want to say much, because… we in the field pretty much knew this already. Bennu contains almost all the ingredients of life, because Ryugu contains almost all… Read More »Bennu Bio Anno
Astronomy & Astrophysics for Jan (vol 693) still says “in progress”- surely a misprint, since Feb is already (partly) up. Oh well, here’s what’s “in progress”: Bourdelle de Micas, J. Perna, D. Fornasier, S. et al. Spectral and photometric characterization… Read More »Note, Paper: Ast & Act

Nothing in PASP (Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific) to repost here for January. And yes, some Society members are Southern Cal (our thoughts are with you), but plenty are not.
If not issues, Planetary Science Journal has unambiguous volumes. In the new vol. 6, we start with some interesting papers for a first installment: Hsieh, H. H. et al. The Volatile Composition and Activity Evolution of Main-belt Comet 358P/PANSTARRS art.… Read More »Note, Paper: Spot the Non-Dot
Turns out there is a January edition of Meteoritics and Planetary Science, I was wrong (or premature). If it’s all electronic anyway, “months” and “issues” are arbitrary, and “shipping time” is not a factor. So apparently the journal is going straight… Read More »Note, Paper: Yet Met
