Measuring Physical Properties at the Surface of a Comet Nucleus [PDF]
, 2021 The European Space Agency’s cornerstone mission Rosetta is due for launch in January 2003. It will perform a rendezvous with comet 46P/Wirtanen beyond 3 AU and, following an initial mapping phase, deploy a lander to a selected site on the nucleus surface.

X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy Analysis for Near-Asteroid Belt of Atmospheric of the Comets
Iraqi Journal of Physics, 2022 According to Chandra Survey Observatory Near-Asteroid Belt Comets, the solar wind's contact with the comet produces a variety of spectral characteristics. The study of X-ray spectra produced by charge exchange is presented here. The spectrum of

Anti-migratory effect of vinflunine in endothelial and glioblastoma cells is associated with changes in EB1 C-terminal detyrosinated/tyrosinated status. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We previously showed that vinflunine, a microtubule-targeting drug of the Vinca-alkaloid family exerted its anti-angiogenic/anti-migratory activities through an increase in microtubule dynamics and an inhibition of microtubule targeting to adhesion sites.

ASSIST: An Ephemeris-quality Test-particle Integrator
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We introduce ASSIST, a software package for ephemeris-quality integrations of test particles. ASSIST is an extension of the REBOUND framework and makes use of its IAS15 integrator to integrate test-particle trajectories in the field of the Sun, Moon ...

Singularities in mass-loaded MHD flow: The cometary bow shock [PDF]
, 1991 We present a one-dimensional model of the mass-loading of the solar wind by cometary ions which predicts a singularity in the mass-loaded flow at M = 2. Further, a subshock occurs when the flow speed reaches M almost-equal-to 1.15.

Interactions between solar wind and comets
地球与行星物理论评, 2023 Comets are a class of small, irregularly shaped objects in a solar system consisting mainly of volatile materials. During the approach of a comet to the sun, the neutral component of the volatile matter released by heating in the nucleus becomes charged ...

Biomonitoring of the genotoxic potential of aqueous extracts of soils and bottom ash resulting from municipal solid waste incineration, using the comet and micronucleus tests on amphibian (Xenopus laevis) larvae and bacterial assays (MutatoxR and Ames tests) [PDF]
, 2006 The management of contaminated soils and wastes is a matter of considerable human concern. The present study evaluates the genotoxic potential of aqueous extracts of two soils (leachates) and of bottom ash resulting from municipal solid waste ...

Models for the Comet Dynamical Environment [PDF]
Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2007 An outgassing jet model is presented in support of spacecraft navigation for future missions to comets. The outgassing jet is modeled as an emission cone while the comet is modeled as a uniform density triaxial ellipsoid. The comet's motion about the sun is included in the model.

The dynamical history of comet Halley [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1985 AbstractThe history of the attempts to predict the motion of comet Halley is outlined and the importance of the so-called nongravitational forces acting upon this comet is emphasized. Recent orbital work of the International Halley Watch Astrometry Network is reviewed. Comet Halley’s transverse nongravitational parameter is positive and nearly constant
