    A Swarm of WASP Planets: Nine giant planets identified by the WASP survey
    (2025) Schanche, Nicole
    The Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey provided some of the first transiting hot Jupiter candidates. With the addition of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), many WASP planet candidates have now been revisited and given updated transit parameters. In the accompanying paper, we present 9 transiting planets orbiting FGK stars that were identified as candidates by the WASP survey and measured to have planetary masses by radial velocity measurements. Subsequent space-based photometry taken by TESS as well as ground-based photometric and spectroscopic measurements have been used to jointly analyze the planetary properties of WASP-102 b, WASP-116 b, WASP-149 b WASP-154 b, WASP-155 b, WASP-188 b, WASP-194 b/HAT-P-71 b, WASP-195 b, and WASP-197 b. These planets have radii between 0.9 R_Jup and 1.4 R_Jup, masses between 0.1 M_Jup and 1.5 M_Jup, and periods between 1.3 and 6.6 days.

    (2025) Jung, Taeho; Song, Yueming; Valentino, Gianna M; Albertus, Paul
    The attached COMSOL models simulate the mechanical state of a working-electrode/solid-electrolyte system under the following loading conditions. * Scenario I - working electrode under out-of-plane uniaxial compression * Scenario II - solid electrolyte under in-plane uniaxial compression * Scenario III - solid electrolyte under pure shear

    Active Seismic Exploration of Planetary Subsurfaces via Compressive Sensing
    (2025) Wang, Jingchuan; Schmerr, Nicholas; Lekic, Vedran
    The software supports the following study: We present a method for improving seismic data collection on planetary surfaces such as the Moon and Mars. This approach is based on recent advances in compressive sensing technology to reduce the number of data collection points required compared to conventional methods without sacrificing the quality of the resulting subsurface images. We demonstrate its effectiveness using both synthetic and field data from locations with similarities to planetary surface environments. The method is then applied to reanalyze seismic data collected by the crew of the Apollo 14 and 16 missions. Our study has implications for mission planning, as this method can make space missions more efficient by reducing the equipment and time to collect geophysical data on planetary surfaces. It also makes it possible to reconstruct missing or damaged data, improving the quality of imagery and enhancing our understanding of the interior of other worlds.

    Dataset for Constraining Wetland and Landfill Methane Emission Signatures Through Atmospheric Methane Clumped Isotopologue Measurements" [Paper #2024JG008249-T]
    (2025) Sun, Jiayang; Farquhar, James
    From Primary Paper: Microbial methane emissions are associated with a wide range of isotopic signatures, providing information about the sources and sinks of methane. Methods of directly sampling methane from environments such as wetlands may fail to capture the temporal and spatial variations in emissions at a specific site and time. The Keeling plot method is commonly used to infer the overarching isotopic signatures of methane sources. In this study, we have expanded the application of the Keeling plot from conventional stable isotope ratios to include novel clumped isotopologue compositions of methane. This advancement aims to provide more robust constraints on regional methane emission signatures. We analyzed methane isotopologue compositions from air samples collected above wetlands and landfills across Maryland, USA, and determined the endmember compositions for background air, wetland, and landfill sources. Our findings indicate that the isotopologue compositions of methane from regional wetland emissions exhibit seasonal variations — δ13C and δD values become less positive as winter approaches, reflecting changes in methane oxidation and production rates. The continuous monitoring of air methane isotopologue signatures will deepen our understanding of the seasonal patterns in methane emissions and contribute to refining the global methane budget, as valuable insights can be extracted from these measurements.

    Measurements of boulders ejected in the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impact
    (2025-01-17) Farnham, Tony
    This data collection contains tables that provide measurements of the positions and brightnesses of meter-sized boulders that were ejected when the Double Asteroid Impact Test (DART) spacecraft crashed into Dimorphos, the moon of asteroid (65803) Didymos on September 26, 2022. The measurements come from the LICIACube Unit Key Explorer (LUKE) instrument on board the LICIACube spacecraft that flew by the Didymos system about 3 minutes after the impact event. The positions table provides the pixel locations of each boulder in the images where it was detected, while the photometry table gives the brightness for each boulder in each of the images where it was measured.

    GEODES San Francisco Volcanic Field Geochemical Sampling
    (2023) Shubham, Sourabh; Farcy, Benjamin; Wright, Shawn; Schmerr, Nicholas; Whelley, Patrick
    In August of 2023, the NASA SSERVI GEODES team conducted a field expedition in the San Francisco Volcanic Field, northern Arizona. The field expedition had a geochemical component, with the objective of characterizing the lithological and geochemical diversity across key volcanic features. Using handheld XRF and VNIR spectrometers, field data and rock samples were collected from O'Leary Peak, Elden Mountain, Schultz Peak, SP Crater, and the Lava River Cave. Sampling strategies included targeting visually distinct lithologies and calibrating instruments with geochemical standards to ensure data accuracy. Preliminary analyses reveal diverse compositions, including rhyolites, basalts, and intermediate magmas. The collected samples will undergo detailed laboratory geochemical analysis to enhance understanding of volcanic processes and evolution in this region.

    Supplementary material for Applying Wearable Sensors and Machine Learning to the Diagnostic Challenge of Distinguishing Parkinson's Disease from Other Forms of Parkinsonism
    (2025) Khalil, Rana M.; Shulman, Lisa M.; Gruber-Baldini, Ann L.; Reich, Stephen G.; Savitt, Joseph M.; Hausdorff, Jeffrey M.; von Coelln, Rainer; Cummings, Michael P.
    Parkinson's Disease (PD) and other forms of parkinsonism share motor symptoms, including tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity. This overlap in the clinical presentation creates a diagnostic challenge, underscoring the need for objective differentiation. However, applying machine learning (ML) to clinical datasets faces challenges such as imbalanced class distributions, small sample sizes for non-PD parkinsonism, and heterogeneity within the non-PD group. This study analyzed wearable sensor data from 260 PD participants and 18 individuals with etiologically diverse forms of non-PD parkinsonism during clinical mobility tasks, using a single sensor placed on the lower-back. We evaluated the performance of ML models in distinguishing these two groups and identified the most informative mobility tasks for classification. Additionally, we examined clinical characteristics of misclassified participants and presented case studies of common challenges in clinical practice, including diagnostic uncertainty at the initial visit and changes in diagnosis over time. We also suggested potential steps to address dataset challenges which limited the models' performance. We demonstrate that ML-based analysis is a promising approach for distinguishing idiopathic PD from non-PD parkinsonism, though its accuracy remains below that of expert clinicians. Using the Timed Up and Go test as a single mobility task outperformed the use of all tasks combined, achieving a balanced accuracy of 78.2%. We also identified differences in some clinical scores between participants correctly and falsely classified by our models. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using ML and wearable sensors for differentiating PD from other parkinsonian disorders, addressing key challenges in diagnosis, and streamlining diagnostic workflows.
