We use 3D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations to study the spontaneous formation of magnetic reconnection as a self-consistent component of the turbulent cascade under solar-wind-like conditions. We simulate anisotropic decaying Alfvénic…

Diogenites are a group of meteorites from asteroid 4 Vesta, composed almost entirely of orthopyroxene with rare examples of olivine-bearing samples. Despite their mineralogical simplicity, how they form and their relationship to other Vestan…

High-mass stars, defined as 8 times the mass of the sun (solar masses) or greater, are influential components of our Universe. They produce powerful radiation, stellar winds and supernovae, shaping the surrounding interstellar medium, while…

Protoplanetary disks are important objects for planet formation. However, their formation process is still unclear. Disks form around protostars as mass and angular momentum are transferred from cores. Hence, revealing the gas kinematics around…

Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, experienced several merger events which left their imprints on the stellar halo. In particular, it has been shown that when the Galaxy was still young, in its first billion years, a major merger happened and, likely,…

The landscape of active regions on the Sun is marked by fibril- and loop-like structures that trace the magnetic field lines that confine plasma up to several megameters above the solar surface. Within these environments, it is common to observe…

Saturn is engulfed in a cloud of neutral gas that originates from ice fissures on the surface of Enceladus. Some particles collide and exchange charge, separating electrons and ions which are guided by Saturn’s magnetic field. In this way, Saturn…

Brown dwarfs are objects with masses lying between planets and stars. Although they are generally thought to form like stars, their fundamental properties (mass, age, temperatures)oh are more planet-like. In recent years, a population of young…

The COSMOS field has proved to be one of the cornerstone surveys in extragalactic Astronomy. Since our last public catalog in 2015, a wealth of new imaging and spectroscopic data has been collected in COSMOS. We describe the collection,…

The Jovian magnetosphere is loaded internally with material from the volcanic moon of Io, this is ionised and brought into co-rotation to form the Io plasma torus. Plasma is removed from the torus mainly via ejection as energetic neutrals and by…
