 March 2024 News and research papers

A few interesting ones to read this month on a range of topics. The updated look and thinking on Mini Neptune/or Ocean Hycean Planets was interesting and something I’m going to have to do more research and study on, My feeling is the temperature of the planet can have a big impact on the outer layers or envelope. I have also looked into battery power systems for emergency’s and also running your telescope so that’s on my list of things to do more research on too.

The impact formation scenario sounds like the right one along with the foramtion of a inner Moon larger than Phobos that was lost some time ago, I guess the new modeling here indacates it was perhaps a icy object like Ceres or simular to Rhea.

October 2023 News research papers and Starcharts.

  October 2023 News research papers and Starcharts.   It’ been a busy interesting month, lots of interesting subjects and links and papers to follow up on and read. I need to read about the aero capture mission to the ice giants of the solar system. There is a good look at the number of Exoplanets and also super earths Ocean hycean Planets also.           Research papers     An Assay on The Hobbesian Trap and Axioms of First Contact https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0265964623000486       Modified Newtonian Dynamics as an Alternative to the Planet Nine Hypothesis https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/acef1e     The Properties and Origin of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth's Large Mounds https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/PSJ/acf317     A Tale of 3 Dwarf Planets https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.15230       No Evidence for More Earth-sized Planets in the Habitable Zone of Kepler's M versus FGK
