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%

Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

Biomimetic robots driven by smart materials: Motion forms, stimulation methods and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic robots enhance adaptability by mimicking biological systems, but rigid materials limit performance. Smart materials with stimuli responsiveness and shape adaptability enable more flexible actuation and improved environmental interaction.

Dynamic 3D Simulation of Surface Charging on Rotating Asteroids

The Astrophysical Journal
The surface-charging phenomenon of asteroids, mainly resulting from solar wind plasma and solar radiation, has been extensively studied. However, the influence of the asteroid’s rotation on surface charging is not yet fully understood.

Taxonomic Classification of Asteroids Using the KMTNet Multiband Photometry Data Set

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We report the multiband photometry of asteroids observed over 14 nights from 2015 December to 2017 December using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network telescopes with the taxonomic classification of those objects. The data set contains the photometry

The Stripping Method for X‐Ray Spectral Correction in ISO 4037‐1 Narrow Spectra Series (N10‐N150)

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spectrometry is an important tool for the characterization of X‐ray beams in ionizing radiation metrology. However, the use of solid‐state spectrometers for accurate measurements requires correction of spectral distortions caused by the interaction between photons and the detector.

Experiments on Settling of Granular and Cohesive Material in Low Gravity

The Planetary Science Journal
The regolith of rocky bodies, such as planets or asteroids, generally settles under gravity conditions different from those of Earth. The behavior of granular material is not easily scalable for different gravities.

Large‐Scale Applications of Plasma Technologies: Progresses and Challenges

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasma technologies convert electrical power into energetic electrons, ions, reactive species, radiation and heat, thereby breaking through the bottleneck of purely thermal or chemical routes and bringing impressive changes to our world. This roadmap reviews the progress and challenges of plasma technologies from a large‐scale and application ...

Morphological and Morphometric Characterisation of Selected Camarodont Sea Urchin (Echinoidea: Camarodonta) Pedicellariae (Paracentrotus lividus, Psammechinus miliaris and Echinus esculentus)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pedicellariae are small appendages on the surface of the echinoid test, involved in defence, cleaning, and locomotion. Pedicellariae in three species of camarodont sea urchins common in UK waters (Paracentrotus lividus [Lamarck, 1816], Psammechinus miliaris [P.L.S Müller, 1771] and Echinus esculentus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are the focus of this ...

Surface Modifications of a Space-weathered Ryugu Sample and the Reflectance Spectral Response

The Planetary Science Journal
Reflectance spectra from the surface of asteroid Ryugu, measured by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, exhibit a metal-OH absorption at ∼2.7 μ m that is approximately half as deep as the returned samples measured in the laboratory and shifted toward longer ...
