We present new experimental data of the low-temperature metastable region of liquid water derived from high-density synthetic fluid inclusions (996-916 kg m-3) in quartz. Microthermometric measurements include: (i) prograde (upon heating) and retrograde (upon cooling) liquid-vapour homogenisation. We used single ultrashort laser pulses to stimulate vapour bubble nucleation in initially monophas...

Reactions in the Earth's crust occur through a dissolution-precipitation process presence of fluid. Dissolution releases aqueous species which are transported to locus precipitation. This replacement generates creep deformation (i.e., creep) due volume change during reaction and stress-controlled mass re-distribution rock. Reaction under stress also modifies rock microstructure pressure record ...

The aim of our study is to investigate the possibility of habitable moons orbiting the giant planet HD 23079b, a Jupitermass planet, which follows a low-eccentricity orbit in the outer region of HD 23079’s habitable zone. We show that HD 23079b is able to host habitable moons in prograde and retrograde orbits, as expected, noting that the outer stability limit for retrograde orbits is increased...

3D microstructural analysis of porphyroblast inclusion trails using X-ray Computed Tomography is integrated with field structures to unravel the Alpine deformation history Alpujárride Complex, which constitutes partially submerged metamorphic core Gibraltar Arc. Prograde metamorphism in complex has been traditionally linked a 'D1' event witnessed by garnet porphyroblasts. Orientation data for t...

We study the effects of Jupiter mass growth in order to permanently capture prograde satellites. Adopting the restricted three-body problem, Sun-Jupiter-Particle, we performed numerical simulations backward in time while considering the decrease in Jupiter’s mass. We considered the particle’s initial conditions to be prograde, at pericenter, in the region 100R ≤ a ≤ 400R and 0 ≤ e ≤ 0.5. The re...

Linear and nonlinear convection in a rotating annular cylinder, under experimental boundary conditions, heated from below and rotating about a vertical axis are investigated. In addition to the usual physical parameters such as the Rayleigh and Taylor number, an important geometric parameter, the ratio of the inner to outer radius, enters into the problem. For intermediate ratios, linear stabil...

introduction the occurrence of blueschist metamorphic facies is believed to mark the existence of former subduction zones. this facies is represented in the main constituents of subduction-accretion complexes, where it occurs in separate tectonic sheets, imbricated slices, lenses, or exotic blocks within a serpentinite mélange (volkova et al., 2011). the evidence of the presence and maturity of...
