Mass spectrometric analysis in planetary science: Investigation of the surface and the atmosphere

, 2012
Knowing the chemical, elemental, and isotopic composition of planetary objects allows the study of their origin and evolution within the context of our Solar System. Landed probes are critical to such an investigation.

High-resolution Simulation of Coronal Mass Ejection–Corotating Interaction Region Interactions: Mesoscale Solar Wind Structure Formation Observable by the SWIFT Constellation

The Astrophysical Journal
We present an unprecedented simulation of how two large-scale heliospheric transients—a coronal mass ejection (CME) and a corotating stream interaction region—collide, producing a dramatic increase in the complexity of the CME due to formation of ...

Wireless sensor web for rover planetary exploration [PDF]

, 2010
Together with the “traditional“ approach, during the last years a new concept of planetary surface exploration has been introduced and investigated by the space community, including the European Space Agency (ESA). The concept consists in deploying

A Search for Wide-orbit Planets around M Dwarfs Using Deep MIRI 15 μm Images

The Astronomical Journal
Wide-orbit (>10 au) gas-giant planets shape the architecture of planetary systems, yet their occurrence rate remains poorly constrained. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has obtained the deepest mid-infrared images of nearby stars to date through ...
