The solar eclipse of 2006 and the origin of raylike features in the white-light corona
Y.-M. Wang,John B. Biersteker,John B. Biersteker,N. R. Sheeley,Serge Koutchmy,J. Mouette,Miloslav Druckmüller +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared photographs of the 2006 March 29 total eclipse with current-free extrapolations of photospheric field measurements and with images from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) to deduce that the bulk of these linear features fall into three categories: (1) polar and low-latitude plumes that overlie small magnetic bipoles inside coronal holes, (2) helmet streamer rays that overlies large loop arcades and separate coronal hole of opposite polarity, and (3) pseudostreamer
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric mass loss due to giant impacts: the importance of the thermal component for hydrogen-helium envelopes.
TL;DR: It is shown that the atmospheric loss caused by these effects can significantly exceed that caused by mechanical shocks for hydrogen-helium (H/He) envelopes, and complete loss can occur when the impactor mass is comparable to the envelope mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraints on the Distances and Timescales of Solid Migration in the Early Solar System from Meteorite Magnetism
TL;DR: In this paper, the WIS 91600 ungrouped C2 chondrite experienced an ancient field intensity of 4.4 ± 2.8 μT at ∼9.8 au, indicating that the parent body formed in the distal solar system, and the recovered formation distance argues that this body previously traveled from ∼10 au to 2-3 au, supporting the migration of asteroid-sized bodies throughout the solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating Machine Learning for Planetary Science: Perspectives for the Next Decade
A. Azari,John B. Biersteker,R. M. Dewey,Gary Doran,Emily J. Forsberg,C. D. K. Harris,Hannah Kerner,Katherine A. Skinner,A. W. Smith,Rashied Amini,Saverio Cambioni,Victoria Da Poian,Tadhg M. Garton,Michael D. Himes,Sarah Millholland,Suranga Ruhunusiri +15 more
TL;DR: Ten recommendations for bolstering a data-rich future in planetary science from machine learning methods that expand the ability to construct, and draw insight from large datasets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Searching for Subsurface Oceans on the Moons of Uranus Using Magnetic Induction
Benjamin P. Weiss,Benjamin P. Weiss,John B. Biersteker,Vittorio Colicci,Allison Goode,Julie Castillo-Rogez,Anastassios E. Petropoulos,Tibor S. Balint +7 more
TL;DR: Icy moons around the ice giant planets may contain subsurface oceans, and their oceans could be detected and characterized using measurements of magnetic fields induced by the host planet's time-varying magnetic field as mentioned in this paper.
