New Ceres Data Examined for Evidence of Tropical Iris Feedback
New data products from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES; Wielicki et al., 1996) instrument were recently released. The Single Scanner Footprint (SSF) data product combines radiation budget data from CERES with cloud property retrievals from an imager on the same platform to provide a vastly improved characterization of the state of the atmosphere. In addition, the SSF inc...
متن کاملHabitability Potential of Ceres, a Warm Icy Body in the Asteroid Belt
Large, low-density C-type asteroids are abundant in the main belt. The most prominent of these objects is the dwarf planet Ceres, which presents an advanced stage of evolution. Ceres is almost twice as large as Enceladus, and both objects contain more than 50% of water in volume [1]. Although asteroids cannot benefit from tidal heating like outer planet satellites, their proximity to the Sun pr...
متن کاملNMR observation of individual molecules of hydration water bound to DNA duplexes: direct evidence for a spine of hydration water present in aqueous solution.
The residence times of individual hydration water molecules in the major and minor grooves of DNA were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in aqueous solutions of d-(CGCGAATTCGCG)2 and d-(AAAAATTTTT)2. The experimental observations were nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE) between water protons and the protons of the DNA. The positive sign of NOEs with the thymine methyl group...
متن کاملExtensive water ice within Ceres' aqueously altered regolith: Evidence from nuclear spectroscopy.
The surface elemental composition of dwarf planet Ceres constrains its regolith ice content, aqueous alteration processes, and interior evolution. Using nuclear spectroscopy data acquired by NASA's Dawn mission, we determined the concentrations of elemental hydrogen, iron, and potassium on Ceres. The data show that surface materials were processed by the action of water within the interior. The...
متن کاملEvidence for Bound and Free Water Species in the Hydration Shell of an Aqueous Micelle
Our atomistic molecular dynamics simulations reveal the existence of bound and free water molecules in the hydration layer of an aqueous micelle. The bound water molecules can be either singly or doubly hydrogen bonded to the polar head group on the surface of the micelle. The ratio of bound to free water is found to be approximately equal to 9:1 at 300 K. email:[email protected] email:bbagchi@...
