Performance of thermal conductivity probes for planetary applications [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2012 This work aims to contribute to the development of in situ instruments feasible for space application. Commercial as well as custom-made thermal sensors, based on the transient hot wire technique and suitable for direct measurement of the effective ...

Unique conjunction of planetary probes [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2000 The last two of the large planetary probes of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration and the European Space Agency will rendezvous at the end of the year at Jupiter. At that time, Galileo, which has been exploring Jupiter since the end of 1995, and Cassini, which is on its way to Saturn, will simultaneously observe the Jovian system with U.S.‐

PEPSI Investigation, Retrieval, and Atlas of Numerous Giant Atmospheres (PIRANGA). IV. High-resolution Phased-resolved Spectroscopy of the Ultra-hot-Jupiter KELT-20 b [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalWe present five datasets of high-resolution optical emission spectra of the ultra-hot-Jupiter KELT-20 b with the PEPSI spectrograph. Using a Bayesian retrieval framework, we constrain its dayside pressure–temperature profile and abundances of Fe, Ni, and

Galactic Planetary Nebulae as Probes of Radial Metallicity Gradients and Other Abundance Patterns [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 We use planetary nebulae (PNe) as probes to determine the Galactic radial oxygen gradients and other abundance patterns. We select data homogeneously from recent data sets, including PNe at large Galactocentric distances.

Horizontal spreading of planetary debris accreted by white dwarfs [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 White dwarfs with metal-polluted atmospheres have been studied widely in the context of the accretion of rocky debris from evolved planetary systems. One open question is the geometry of accretion and how material arrives and mixes in the white dwarf ...

Subsurface Science and Search for Life in Ocean Worlds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Several worlds in our solar system are thought to hold oceans of liquid water beneath their frozen surfaces. These subsurface ice and ocean environments are promising targets in the search for life beyond Earth, but they also present significant new ...

Influence of probe geometry on measurement results of non-ideal thermal conductivity sensors [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2016 The thermal properties of the surface and subsurface layers of planets and planetary objects yield important information that allows us to better understand the thermal evolution of the body itself and its interactions with the environment.
