Predicting Performance of Hall Effect Ion Source Using Machine Learning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
This study introduces HallNN, a machine learning tool for predicting Hall effect ion source performance using a neural network ensemble trained on data generated from numerical simulations. HallNN provides faster and more accurate predictions than numerical methods and traditional scaling laws, making it valuable for designing and optimizing Hall ...

DART Impact Ejecta Plume Evolution: Implications for Dimorphos

The Planetary Science Journal
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted the moon Dimorphos of the [65803] Didymos binary system and changed the binary orbit period, demonstrating asteroid deflection by a kinetic impact and indicating that more momentum was ...

Regolith mechanics on Asteroid surfaces [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: It is very likely that most aster- oids surfaces are covered by a regolith layer. We are focussing on the mechanical properties of such regolith, i.e., a granular material under micro-gravity (µ-g) conditions. Any operations on asteroids that are not remote, need to interact mechanically with the surface material, and for resource ...

Surface Geology of Jupiter’s Trojan Asteroids

Space Science Reviews, 2023
AbstractThe surface geology of Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids is one of the scientific investigations of the NASALucymission. A dedicated Geology Working Group will implement these studies using primarily panchromatic and color imaging data and complement the interpretation of these data with theoretical models, such as collisional evolution models ...

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

The Mineralogical Connection between M- and K-type Asteroids as Indicated by Polarimetry

The Planetary Science Journal
Polarimetry has the capacity to provide a unique probe of the surface properties of asteroids. Trends in polarization behavior as a function of wavelength trace asteroid regolith mineral properties that are difficult to probe without measurements in situ

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

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

The 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.

High atmospheric pressure rescues plant growth under humidity stress: A model for climate‐resilient deep underground agriculture

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.

Thermophysical Modeling of Asteroid (15) Eunomia from Spatially Resolved ALMA and VLA Data

The Planetary Science Journal
Asteroid (15) Eunomia is the largest S-type asteroid in the main belt and the largest member of the Eunomia asteroid family. Previous visible-to-mid-infrared data suggested that Eunomia’s hemispheres have different olivine-to-pyroxene ratios and that ∼2%
