On the Dependence of Planetary Spin on Mass [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014
The recent direct spectroscopic observation of the spin of the young gas giant exoplanet ? Pictoris b was a powerful clue as to the general validity of the trend of the planetary spin with the mass even outside the Solar System. Nevertheless, the spin-mass relationship, which looks like to hold irrespective of the planet composition and radius, is ...

Elimination of Necking and Aspect Ratio Dependence in Uniaxial Actuators by Continuous Fiber Reinforcement

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel carbon fiber reinforcement for dielectric elastomer actuators enhances actuation force while decoupling electromechanical performance from the actuator's aspect ratio. Unlike conventional fiber reinforcements, it enables a uniform planar stretch state along the entire actuator.

The Small Frontier: Trends Toward Miniaturization and the Future of Planetary Surface Rovers

open access: yesActuators
The robotic exploration of space began only five decades ago, and yet in the intervening years, a wide and diverse ecosystem of robotic explorers has been developed for this purpose. Such devices have greatly benefited from miniaturization trends and the

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Quantifying the Impact of the Dust Torque on the Migration of Low-mass Planets. II. The Role of Pebble Accretion in Planet Growth within a Global Planet Formation Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Although dust constitutes only about 1% of the mass in a protoplanetary disk, recent studies reveal its substantial impact on the torques experienced by low- and intermediate-mass planetary cores.

Theory of planet formation and comparison with observation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
The planetary mass-radius diagram is an observational result of central importance to understand planet formation. We present an updated version of our planet formation model based on the core accretion paradigm which allows us to calculate planetary ...

ANALYSIS OF SELF – GRAVITATING PLANETARY SATELLITES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
As of today there have been more than 180 planetary satellites discovered in the Solar system, and the number of outer moons found continues to grow. Most of those natural satellites have insufficient mass and are able to retain their shape only due to ...
