TL;DR: In this paper, the long-term stable trajectories around Europa, one of the Galilean moons of Jupiter, are analyzed for their potential applications in spacecraft trajectory design, such as end of mission desposal options, backup orbits, or intermediary targets for transfer trajectories.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the West Scotia Sea is likely to be underlain by an anomalously low-density upper mantle and that the development of the Shackleton Fracture Zone since the middle Miocene was probably a main factor that determined the evolution of the eastward Pacific mantle flows and the extinction of the west Scotia Sea oceanic spreading around 6 Ma ago.
Abstract: [1] The Drake Passage is considered a gateway for oceanic and asthenospheric flows since its opening, entailing widespread consequences for climate and plate tectonics, respectively. Both the surface and the 50 km upward continued Bouguer anomaly maps of the Scotia Sea and surrounding areas, based on Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment gravity satellite data, improve our knowledge of deep lithospheric structures and the asthenosphere. We show that the West Scotia Sea is likely to be underlain by an anomalously low-density upper mantle. Gravity data are compatible with variable lithospheric thicknesses related to asthenospheric currents. The new data suggest that the development of the Shackleton Fracture Zone since the middle Miocene was probably a main factor that determined the evolution of the eastward Pacific mantle flows and the extinction of the West Scotia Sea oceanic spreading around 6 Ma ago. Deep lithospheric roots are likely to divert asthenospheric currents around them, flowing eastward through Drake Passage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a regional scale analysis and interpretation of the shallow morpho-structure and active processes along the northern margin of the Dominican Republic and identified three morphostructural provinces: a) the Bahamas Carbonate Province, b) the Hispaniola Trench and c) the Insular Margin, which are divided into two tectonic domains, the Collision Domain and Underthrusting Domain.

TL;DR: In this article, the error box of a gamma-ray burst of the short (0.5 s), hard type (GRB 000313) with the BOOTES-1 experiment in southern Spain, starting 4 min after the-ray event, in the I-band was found.
Abstract: We imaged the error box of a gamma-ray burst of the short (0.5 s), hard type (GRB 000313), with the BOOTES-1 experiment in southern Spain, starting 4 min after the-ray event, in the I-band. A bright optical transient (OT 000313) with I= 9:4 0:1 was found in the BOOTES-1 image, close to the error box (3) provided by BATSE. Late time VRIK 0 -band deep observations failed to reveal an underlying host galaxy. If the OT 000313 is related to the short, hard GRB 000313, this would be the first optical counterpart ever found for this kind of events (all counterparts to date have been found for bursts of the long, soft type). The fact that only prompt optical emission has been detected (but no afterglow emission at all, as supported by theoretical models) might explain why no optical counterparts have ever been found for short, hard GRBs. This fact suggests that most short bursts might occur in a low-density medium and favours the models that relate them to binary mergers in very low-density environments.
