Characteristics and paleoclimate significance of authigenic ferrimagnetic minerals in the Xuancheng red earth, southern China by Daqian Zhang, Zhenggang Duan, Jiangjun Chen, Jingrong Wang, Gubu Muga, Yunqi Yang, Yiming Wang, Zhendong Liu, Thomas J. Algeo, Hanlie Hong, Lian Zhou, Ke Yin

“…Here, analysis of the environmental magnetism and mineralogy of the Xuancheng QRE (Anhui Province, South China) shows that magnetic variation was strongly linked to production of authigenic ferrimagnetic minerals such as maghemite. Fine-grained maghemite formed during the weathering-related transformation of iron-bearing illite to vermiculite, generating aggregates of vermiculite or mixed-layer illite-vermiculite. …”

Are Stars Really Ingesting Their Planets? Examining an Alternative Explanation by Nadine H. Soliman, Philip F. Hopkins

“…The width of the distributions increases with the incorporation of more detailed dust physics, such as radiation pressure and back-reaction forces, as well as with larger dust grain sizes and finer resolutions. Furthermore, our simulations reveal no correlation between Δ[X/H] and stellar separations, suggesting that dust-to-gas fluctuations likely occur on scales smaller than those of wide binaries. …”
