Study the genesis of the Moons of Jupiter and their Physical Properties

open access: yesمجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2015
A developed model has been put for the hypothesis of capturing moons in explaining the origin of Jupiter moons, and study the change of the orbital properties of these satellites as well as the distance from the planet.

Capturing Trojans and Irregular Satellites - the key required to unlock planetary migration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It is now accepted that the Solar system's youth was a dynamic and chaotic time. The giant planets migrated significant distances to reach their current locations, and evidence of that migration's influence on the Solar system abounds.

Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Searching satellites of asteroid Itokawa by imaging observation with Hayabusa spacecraft

open access: yes, 2008
We carried out a search for satellites around Itokawa, the target asteroid of the Japanese Hayabusa mission. An imaging instrument, AMICA, on the spacecraft was used to take four images of Itokawa and its vicinity on September 1, 2005.

Asteroid Detection using Machine Learning Algorithm

open access: yes, 2020
My paper starts from the question many of us wonder ‘What if an Asteroid hit Earth? The answer depends on how big an asteroid is in terms of dimension- Let’s say an asteroid of baseball ground hits earth, which can completely erase a city.

Asteroid 2014 OL339: yet another Earth quasi-satellite [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014
Our planet has one permanently bound satellite -the Moon-, a likely large number of mini-moons or transient irregular natural satellites, and three temporary natural retrograde satellites or quasi-satellites. These quasi-moons -(164207) 2004 GU9, (277810) 2006 FV35 and 2013 LX28- are unbound companions to the Earth.

In situ single‐spot Rb/Sr cosmochronology of roedderite in the Ribbeck aubrite (asteroid 2024 BX1)

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The mineralogy and textures of several fragments from the Ribbeck aubrite were analyzed using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, μRaman spectroscopy, and laser ablation inductively coupled reaction cell mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS/MS).

The Secular Dynamical Evolution of Binary Asteroid System (65803) Didymos Post-DART

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The successful impact of NASA’s DART mission with Dimorphos, the secondary body of binary asteroid system (65803) Didymos, altered the attitude, shape, and orbit of Dimorphos.

Significantly high polarization degree of the very low-albedo asteroid (152679) 1998 KU2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present a unique and significant polarimetric result regarding the near-Earth asteroid (152679) 1998 KU 2 , which has a very low geometric albedo. From our observations, we find that the linear polarization degrees of 1998 KU 2 are 44.6 ± 0.5% in the ...
