Survivability Of Amorphous Ice In Comets Depends On The Latent Heat Of Crystallization Of Impure Water Ice
Comets would have amorphous ice rather than crystalline one at the epoch of their accretion. Cometary ice contains some impurities that govern the latent heat of ice crystallization, Lcry. However, it… Continue Reading News Source: astrobiology.com

“Cosmic Anomaly” – Scientists Solve Decades-Old Supergalactic Mystery
Recent research offers a new understanding of the Local Supercluster’s unique galaxy distribution. This study, utilizing the advanced SIBELIUS simulation, reveals that galaxy types segregate naturally due to different environmental conditions within and outside the Supergalactic Plane. This discovery, validating the standard model of dark matter, challenges previous assumptions about cosmic anomalies and contributes significantly…

Photometric Metallicity and Distance for the Two RR Lyrae in Segue II and Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxies Based on Multiband Light Curves
Multiband light curves of two RR Lyrae variables in Segue II and Ursa Major II ultrafaint dwarf galaxies were collected from near simultaneous observations using the Lulin One-meter Telescope in Vgri bands. Together with Gaia G-band light curves, we determined photometric metallicities using empirical relations involving pulsation period and Fourier parameter as dependent parameters. We…
