Thermal Infrared Ground Based Instruments: Lessons Learned (PPT)

, 2020
With the imminent launch of the JWST, the field of thermal-infrared (TIR) astronomy will enjoy a revolution. It is easy to imagine that all areas of infrared (IR) astronomy will be greatly advanced, but perhaps impossible to conceive of the new vistas ...

Epitaxial Integration of III–V Membrane Photodetectors With Lateral p–i–n Junctions on the Silicon‐On‐Insulator Waveguide Platform

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Epitaxial growth forms III–V membranes directly atop the silicon waveguide layer on SOI, while in‐plane in situ doping defines lateral p–i–n InP/InGaAs junctions in a single growth step. The membrane photodetectors achieve 50 Gb/s NRZ‐OOK operation.

Evidence for Random Walk Transport of Small Asteroids from the Main Belt to the Inner Solar System

The Planetary Science Journal
The transport of some main-belt asteroids to the inner solar system depends on Yarkovsky radiation forces changing the orbits of those asteroids. However, these forces depend on the rotational states of the asteroids, and YORP radiation forces act to ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Tailoring the Melting and Glass Transition Behavior of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks via Ammonium Halide Salts

Small, EarlyView.
Ammonium halide salts serve as inorganic modifiers that lower the melting and glass transition temperatures of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, enabling centimeter‐scale hybrid glasses and melt processing of otherwise unmeltable ZIF‐8. In situ imaging and pair distribution function analysis reveal salt infiltration, Zn─N bond disruption, and Zn–halide ...

The use of thermal imaging to assess heat generation during dental implant bed preparation in the presence of a surgical guide with an incorporated coolant channel

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study evaluates the thermodynamic benefits of including an irrigation fluid channel in the design of surgical guides used for dental implant site drilling. Materials and Methods Two types of guides suitable for hosting artificial bone plates that mimic the mechanical properties of human alveolar bone were designed: a classical ...

Visible, near‐, and thermal infrared spectra of asteroid Bennu samples: Relationship to and implications for remote sensing of carbonaceous asteroids

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote spectroscopy is used to characterize the mineralogy and infer the history of planetary bodies. Carbonaceous asteroids, such as B‐type (101955) Bennu, represent the earliest stages of planet formation. B types have a blue (negative) spectral slope and comprise <5% of asteroids.

The role of composition in the spectral evolution of carbonaceous asteroids as informed by Bennu sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Near‐Earth rubble‐pile asteroids Bennu and Ryugu are part of the carbonaceous taxonomic complex (C‐complex), and samples returned from both bodies resemble the most aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites. However, telescopic and spacecraft visible–near infrared (VIS–NIR) reflectance spectra of Ryugu exhibit a red (positive) spectral slope ...
