Visualization of the shape deformation of the PSF due to the combination of jitter movements and focal plane imperfections. Left panel: The PSF is represented with a Nyquist-sampled Gaussian profile
Schematic outlining the process through which H could be sequestered into ECs. Firstly, submicron FeS grains that become coated in dust particles in the solar nebula are transformed into pyrrhotite
Scytonemin structure – Wikipedia Scytonemin, a UV-protective pigment produced by cyanobacteria, is essential for microbial survival under extreme solar radiation. Recent studies suggest its structural analog, scytonemin imine, may serve
Illustration of the proposed interpretation for the water emission variability observed in EX Lup during and after accretion outbursts. The increased irradiation and heating of the inner disk during outburst
The Sun hangs low on the horizon above solidified pancake ice in the Arctic Ocean. (Photograph courtesy Andy Mahoney, NSIDC.) The moons of Jupiter and Saturn, such as Europa and
Reflected total normalized flux πFn (left panel) and signed degree of linear polarization Ps (right panel) as functions of the planetary phase angle α and wavelength λ for our Hadean:
Schematic illustration of our proposed carbon cycle on early Mars. Evaporation of water (pink shading) from subsurface pore spaces initially deposits siderite, which sequesters atmospheric CO2 (black downward arrow). Increasing
