Stellar X-Ray Variability and Planetary Evolution in the DS Tucanae System by George W. King, Lía R. Corrales, Vincent Bourrier, Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Lauren Doyle, Baptiste Lavie, Gavin Ramsay, Peter J. Wheatley

“…In simulations of the possible evolution of the currently super-Neptune-sized planet DS Tuc A b, we find a range of scenarios for the planet once it reaches a typical field age of 5 Gyr, from Neptune size down to a completely stripped super-Earth. Improved constraints on the planet's mass in the future would significantly narrow these possibilities. …”

Reduced aerosols and intensified summertime rainfall in India during the pandemic suggest potentially more amplified precipitation in the future by Fan Wang, Meng Gao

“…This shift facilitates water vapor transport from surrounding oceans to land, increasing precipitation in India by approximately 24.2% in May according to the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with chemistry simulations and by 28.5% over the entire lockdown period according to the Community Earth System Model version 2.1.3 simulations. Future projections under the lower aerosol emission scenario indicate an additional enhancement in monsoon precipitation in India. …”

Delineating Hot Zone and Lineaments within Vredefort Crater in South Africa through Aeromagnetic Data Inversions by Muhammad B Atif, Yongzhi Wang, Muhammad P Akhter, Bello Y Ayoola, Lawal K Muideen, Fahad Hameed, Kateryna Hlyniana, Bo Wen, Zubair Nabi, Dong Yuhao, Yakubu M Bashir

“…The fractal distribution of the Vredefort structure correlates with the multi-ring structure around the Dome, which is peculiar to a few impact structures on Earth. The trend of the Fractal exponent contour around the center suggests that the contact of the meteoritic body at that region occurs at an angle and then pushes southwards. …”

Unveiling pressure-induced anomalous shear behavior and thermoelasticity of α-Fe2O3 hematite at high pressure by Yongtao Zou, Pei Wang, Ying Li, Haiyan Chen, Cangtao Zhou, Tetsuo Irifune

“…Summary: Hematite (α-Fe2O3), as an important end-member of FeO-Fe2O3 series, has garnered particular interest for its peculiar high pressure-temperature (P-T) behavior, structural stability and elasticity, and the unclear role of Fe3+ in the nature and dynamics of the Earth’s mantle. Here, we report a pronounced pressure-induced anomaly in the shear behavior of hematite at room temperature and ∼3.5 GPa owing to the (weak)ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic Morin transition driven by pressure and temperature. …”
