Activity of Comets Constrains the Chemistry and Structure of the Protoplanetary Disk

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Recent data of molecular clouds and protoplanetary disks constrain the composition and structure of the disk and planetesimals. Laboratory experiments suggest that dust accretion in disks stops at pebble sizes. Sublimation and recondensation of water ice

Neil Gehrels–Swift Observatory’s Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope Observations of Small Bodies in the Solar System

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
The Neil–Gehrels Swift Observatory has added extensively to our understanding of small bodies in our solar system through its capabilities to rapidly respond to short-live events such as outbursts and collisions, through its near-ultraviolet coverage ...

CO2: A Small Ubiquitous Molecule With a Lot of Astrochemical Debate Attached

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
Water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are the most abundant molecules in the condensed phase of interstellar dust grains. Water is formed by hydrogenation of oxygen species adsorbed on the surface of dust grains, while carbon monoxide is formed by ...

Monte Carlo Models of Comet Dust Tails Observed from the Ground

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Dust particles leaving the comet nucleus surface are entrained by the gas within the first few nuclear radius distances and are subjected to a complex hydrodynamical environment.

Application of the regularization method to differential equations of comets' motion

open access: yesVestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2009
Regularization method for differential equation of comets' motion is used. Numerical integration of the equation of motion of 10 short-period comets during the period of 1800 to 2204 with the use of osculating elements of the large planets is done.

MUPUS insertion device for the Rosetta mission

open access: yesJournal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2023
An original mechanical device designed to insert a penetrator into a cometary nucleus in an almost gravityfree environment is described. The device comprises a hammer and a power supply system that stores electrical energy in a capacitor.

Chemical Convection and Stratification in the Earth's Outer Core

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Convection in the Earth's outer core is driven by buoyancy sources of both thermal and compositional origin. The thermal and compositional molecular diffusivities differ by several orders of magnitude, which can affect the dynamics in various ways.

The burden of Galileo's controversy: the Jesuit revisiting of the Aristotelian cosmos in Collegio Romano (1618-1677)

open access: yesGalilæana, 2023
While studying the controversy between Galileo and the Jesuits over the comets of 1618, historians tend to focus on the works that led to the publication of Il Saggiatore in 1623.

DO GENETICALLY RELATED COMET PAIRS AND GROUPS EXIST?

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
In connection with the discoveries of the new comets 1982b and 1982c, 1988e and 1988g, the orbits of which have the essentially similar elements, the problem of existence of the cometary groups with the similar orbits and their genetical relationship are

Comet Pond II: Synergistic Intersection of Concentrated Extraterrestrial Materials and Planetary Environments to Form Procreative Darwinian Ponds

open access: yesLife, 2018
In the “comet pond” model, a rare combination of circumstances enables the entry and landing of pristine organic material onto a planetary surface with the creation of a pond by a soft impact and melting of entrained ices.
