Constraining the Venus Interior Structure with Future VERITAS Measurements of the Gravitational Atmospheric Loading

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The complex dynamics of the Venus atmosphere produces a periodic mass redistribution pattern that creates a time-variable modulation of the gravity field of Venus.

Towards understanding how surface life can affect interior geological processes: a non-equilibrium thermodynamics approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Life has significantly altered the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and crust. To what extent has it also affected interior geological processes? To address this question, three models of geological processes are formulated: mantle convection, continental ...

Highlight Advances in Planetary Physics in the Solar System: In Situ Detection Over the Past 20 Years

open access: yesSpace: Science & Technology, 2023
Planetary science is the science of studying planets, moons, and planetary systems. The scale of the research objects ranges from small meteoroids to large gas giant planets, and the research purpose is to determine their composition, dynamics, formation,

A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
© 2020, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of ...

Planetary Interiors

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985
The effective definition of a planet is a body too small to sustain nuclear reactions in its interior, but large enough that its thermal decay time is more than five billion years, the age of the solar system. By this definition, there are fifteen planets in the solar system: all the conventional planets but Pluto plus the seven large satellites.

Orbit design for future SpaceChip swarm missions in a planetary atmosphere

open access: yes, 2012
The effect of solar radiation pressure and atmospheric drag on the orbital dynamics of satellites-on-a-chip (SpaceChips) is exploited to design equatorial long-lived orbits about the oblate Earth.

Probing the Rock Mass Fraction and Transport Efficiency inside Uranus Using 40Ar Measurements

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The bulk of Uranus consists of a rock–ice core, but the relative proportions of rock and ice are unknown. Radioactive decay of potassium in the silicates produces ^40 Ar.

Conference on Deep Earth and Planetary Volatiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The following topics are covered in the presented papers: rare gases systematics and mantle structure; volatiles in the Earth; impact degassing of water and noble gases from silicates; D/H ratios and H2O contents of mantle-derived amphibole megacrysts ...

Low Cycle Repetitive Loading of Ti‐6Al‐4V‐Epoxy Composite Lattice Structures for Enhanced Energy Dissipation and Damage Tolerance

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Composite Ti–6Al–4V–epoxy lattice structures are additively manufactured and epoxy infiltrated for cyclic loading. At low lattice volume fractions, hybridization produces synergistic gains in stiffness and energy dissipation. At higher volume fractions, synergy diminishes, although composites still exceed metallic lattices in specific energy ...
