    An international team of astronomers led by JIVE staff Suma Murthy showed that even a weak jet stream from a low-active can be a kind of leaf blower to clean parts of a galaxy. Published in

    Jupiter's poles are aglow with high-energy light, likely triggered by its closest moon, says a new study. We spoke with coauthors + PhD students Gabriel Bridges + Shifra Mandel about their results.

    Stars in young star clusters can lie on one of two slightly separated main sequences. Here Chen Wang and colleagues show that the bluer sequence could be populated by slowly rotating stars that originate in stellar mergers.

    Hard X-ray bremsstrahlung is detected from Jupiter aurorae by and simultaneous observations from confirm its non-thermal nature. The processes are remarkably similar to the generation of hard X-ray aurorae on Earth. Kaya Mori et al.:

    An efficient route towards the formation of peptides under interstellar conditions has been identified. This experimentally verified process also formed polypeptides, biopolymers thought to be important for the origin of life. Krasnokutski et al.:

    (Per)chlorate chemistry on Mars is mostly controlled by iron mineralogy rather than environmental conditions. On modern Mars, chlorate should be the dominant species over perchlorate in terms of impacting the properties of Martian soil. Qu, Zhao et al.:
