Lorenz Energy Cycle: Another Way to Understand the Atmospheric Circulation on Tidally Locked Terrestrial Planets

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
In this study, we employ and modify the Lorenz energy cycle (LEC) framework as another way to understand the atmospheric circulation on tidally locked terrestrial planets. It well describes the atmospheric general circulation in the perspective of energy

Statistical Distributions of Plasma Density and Pressure in the Jovian Plasma Sheet

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Jovian plasma sheet is a key region of the Jovian magnetosphere populated by a mix of warm and hot plasma. It is the main channel for radial transport of mass and energy in the Jovian magnetosphere and provides a favorable environment for magnetic ...

Dry Downhill Particle Motion on Mars

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We recently flew a new setup on parabolic flights for the first time to study particle motion on Martian slopes under Martian gravity. Here, we describe the initial experiments. We used dust/sand beds at varying ambient pressure of a few hundred pascals.

Long Period Seismology on Titan in the Presence of a Methane Clathrate Lid

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
Previous 1‐D spherically symmetric seismic modeling studies have shown that in the presence of a clathrate lid on Titan significant thermal profile differences result, particularly in comparison to a pure water ice shell.

Anthropic arguments outside of cosmology and string theory [PDF]

open access: yesBelgrade Philosophical Annual, 2016
Anthropic reasoning has lately been strongly associated with the string theory landscape and some theories of particle cosmology, such as cosmological inflation. The association is not, contrary to multiple statements by physicists and philosophers alike,

The Vulcan Mission to Io: Lessons Learned during the 2022 JPL Planetary Science Summer School

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
A mission to Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system, was suggested as a priority for the New Frontiers program in the 2013 Planetary Science Decadal Survey.

Using Electrodynamic Tethers to Create Artificial Sun-Synchronous Orbits and De-Orbit Remote Sensing Satellites

open access: yesUniverse
This paper has the goal of exploring the potential of electromagnetic propulsion systems based on tethers to create artificial Sun-synchronous orbits for remote sensing satellites, as well as performing station-keeping maneuvers and de-orbiting of the ...

Simultaneous Evolutionary Fits for Jupiter and Saturn Incorporating Fuzzy Cores

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
With the recent realization that there likely are stably stratified regions in the interiors of both Jupiter and Saturn, we construct new nonadiabatic, inhomogeneous evolutionary models with the same microphysics for each that result at the present time ...
