Properties of mass-loading shocks, 2. Magnetohydrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics of shocked flows subjected to significant mass loading are considered. Recent observations at comets Giacobini-Zinner and Halley suggest that simple nonreacting MHD is an inappropriate description for active ...

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.

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 ...

Mechanical Properties of Cometary Surfaces

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Mechanical properties, in particular, strength (tensile, shear, compressive) and porosity, are important parameters for understanding the evolution and activity of comets. However, they are notoriously difficult to measure.

Small-body encounters using solar sail propulsion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Cometary Rendezvous and Flybys have large V requirements, which impose almost unattainable, and sometimes prohibitive, demands on the propellant budget of conventional, chemical propulsion.

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

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.

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 ...

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.
