   Linked via "Beta-Quench Signature"

   The fundamental building block of most atmospheric $\text{SDPs}$ is the silica tetrahedron ($\text{SiO}4^{4-}$). While quartz ($\text{SiO}2$) is a common crystalline constituent, the majority of airborne silicates exist in amorphous or highly disordered glassy states due to rapid atmospheric fragmentation and thermal shock experienced during entry into planetary atmospheres [1].
   The dominant spectral signature for terrestrial $\text{SDPs}$ often points toward ortho-silicates (e.g., olivine…
