Formation of H+ PUI Tails Downstream of Distant Interplanetary Shocks by E. J. Zirnstein, D. J. McComas, B. L. Shrestha, H. A. Elliott, P. C. Brandt, S. A. Stern, A. R. Poppe, J. Parker, E. Provornikova, K. Singer, A. Verbiscer, New Horizons Heliophysics Team

“…After we convert our distributions to count rates in the spacecraft frame, the results show similar structure to the data. We conclude that significant H ^+ PUI tails can form downstream of distant interplanetary shocks if there is a relatively large compression ratio (>2) and significant turbulence present.…”

Effective Resistivity in Relativistic Reconnection: A Prescription Based on Fully Kinetic Simulations by Abigail Moran, Lorenzo Sironi, Aviad Levis, Bart Ripperda, Elias R. Most, Sebastiaan Selvi

“…The guide field dependence is encoded in α and p , which we fit to PIC data. This resistivity formulation—which relies only on single-fluid MHD quantities—successfully reproduces the spatial structure and strength of nonideal electric fields and thus provides a promising strategy for enhancing the reconnection rate in resistive MHD simulations.…”

Geological characteristics of biogenic gas formation and direction of favorable zones in the Quaternary mudstone of the Qaidam Basin, China by Jixian Tian, Zeyu Shao, Jian Li, Dekang Song, Zhou Fei, Ya'nan Li, Wei Sha, Hao Zhang, Lili Hou, Xiaoqiu Zhang, Haining Zhang, Yixuan Yang

“…The results of the study show that: (1) The Quaternary mudstone is mainly composed of dark grey mudstone in shallow and semi-deep lake, and influenced by the anoxic environment of brackish water and semi-brine water, exhibiting blocky, striped, and laminar structures. The mudstone layers frequently feature interbeds of sand and carbonate rocks. in which the mudstone is mainly concentrated in the Ⅲ, Ⅵ, and Ⅷ layer groups, characterized by large thickness and good continuity. (2) The low abundance of organic matter in the Quaternary mudstone, but a substantial proportion of organic matter suitable for microbial modification, and the large amount of different types of organic matter, such as hydrocarbons and algae, improve the biogas gas production capacity of the Quaternary system. (3) The Quaternary mudstone exhibits various pore types, including primary intergranular pores, dissolution pores, cracks, and a small number of organic pores. …”
