Machine Learning Exploration Of Binding Energy Distributions Of H2O At Astrochemically Relevant Dust Grain Surfaces
Binding energies (BEs) of adsorbates on interstellar dust grains critically control adsorption, desorption, diffusion, and surface reactivity, and therefore strongly influence astrochemical models of star- and planet-forming regions.

ExoMiner++ – NASA AI Model That Found 370 Exoplanets Now Digs Into TESS Data
Scientists have discovered over 6,000 planets that orbit stars other than our Sun, known as exoplanets. More than half of these planets were discovered thanks to data from NASA’s retired […]
![Probability distribution functions (PDFs) for the chemical abundances used to sample the stellar properties in our dataset,with lighter colors indicating higher probability densities. Left panel: PDF of [C/Fe] versus [Fe/H]. Right panel: PDF of [α/Fe] versus [Fe/H]. In both panels, the pink contours show the abundance distributions of halo stars from the APOGEE survey, as provided by the astroNN catalog. APOGEE does not reach the lowest metallicities present in our simulated dataset, which explains the differences at low [Fe/H]. -- astro-ph.SR](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Towards-Model-free.png?resize=1200%2C723&ssl=1)

Towards Model-free Stellar Chemical Abundances. Potential Applications In The Search For Chemically Peculiar Stars In Large Spectroscopic Surveys
Chemical abundance determinations from stellar spectra are challenged by observational noise, limitations in stellar models, and departures from simplifying assumptions.
