DOI: 10.1016/j.gca.2021.09.022
Abstract: Abstract Determining how and when Mars formed has been a long-standing challenge for planetary scientists. The size and orbit of Mars are difficult to reproduce in classical simulations of planetary accretion, and this has inspired… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2018.08.020
Abstract: Abstract Vesta, the second-largest body in the asteroid belt, is believed to be a prime example of a rocky protoplanet. Studies of the HED (Howardite–Eucrite–Diogenite) meteorite suite, considered to be sourced from the mantle of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac955
Abstract: Prestellar cores are generally spheroidal, some of which appear oblate while others appear prolate. Very few of them appear circular in projection. Little, however, is understood about the processes or the physical conditions under which… read more here.
