Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

The proximities of asteroids and critical points of the distance function [PDF]
The proximities are important for different purposes, for example to evaluate the risk of collisions of asteroids or comets with the Solar-System planets.

Celestial Bodies Far-Range Detection with Deep-Space CubeSats
Detecting celestial bodies while in deep-space travel is a critical task for the correct execution of space missions. Major bodies such as planets are bright and therefore easy to observe, while small bodies can be faint and therefore difficult to ...

Chaotic diffusion of the Vesta family induced by close encounters with massive asteroids
We numerically estimate the semi-major axis chaotic diffusion of the Vesta family asteroids induced by close encounters with 11 massive main belt asteroids : (1) Ceres, (2) Pallas, (3) Juno, (4) Vesta, (7) Iris, (10) Hygiea, (15) Eunomia, (19) Fortuna ...

Transit of asteroids across the 7/3 Kirkwood gap under the Yarkovsky effect
Many asteroids in the main belt are continuously pushed by Yarkovsky effect into regions of different mean motion resonances (MMRs) and then ejected out. They are considered as the principal source of near-Earth objects.

A Spectroscopic Comparison of HED Meteorites and V-type Asteroids in the Inner Main Belt [PDF]
V-type asteroids in the inner Main Belt (a < 2.5 AU) and the HED meteorites are thought to be genetically related to one another as collisional fragments from the surface of the large basaltic asteroid 4 Vesta.

Predicting Performance of Hall Effect Ion Source Using Machine Learning
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 ...

Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

ASTEROIDS EXPLORATION WITH BALDONE SCHMIDT TELE-SCOPE
CCD observations of asteroids were ob-tained in 2008 with the Baldone Schmidt telescope (aper-ture/diameter/focal length = 80/120/240 cm) at the Bal-done Astrophysical observatory (code 069) of the Institute of Astronomy of the University of Latvia.

Hidden No More: Spotlight on Tidal Disruption Events in Active Galactic Nuclei
ABSTRACT Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are typically discovered in previously quiescent galaxies. However, earlier studies have revealed a handful of TDEs occurring in pre‐existing active galactic nuclei (AGN). We discuss AT2019aalc, a promising TDE candidate in an AGN, and compare it to similar sources.
