Performances of Planetary Magnetorheological Transmission Devices
Magnetorheological transmission devices (MRTDs) are a type of power transmission device using magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) as the transmission medium, which have the advantages of rapid response and continuously adjustable output performances.

Planetary Internal Structures [PDF]
This chapter reviews the most recent advancements on the topic of terrestrial and giant planet interiors, including Solar System and extrasolar objects. Starting from an observed mass-radius diagram for known planets in the Universe, we will discuss the various types of planets appearing in this diagram and describe internal structures for each type ...

Magma oceans (MOs) are episodes of large-scale melting of the mantle of terrestrial planets. The energy delivered by the Moon-forming impact induced a deep MO on the young Earth, corresponding to the last episode of core-mantle equilibration.

The Temperature Structure of Dusty Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
We have computed photoionization models of planetary nebulae containing dust. Photoelectric heating by small grains has an important effects on the temperature structure of the nebulae and could solve a number of problems that have found no satisfactory solution so far.

Morphological Structures of Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
AbstractSince various structural components of planetary nebulae (PN) manifest themselves differently, a combination of optical, infrared, submillimetre and radio techniques is needed to derive a complete picture of planetary nebulae. The effects of projection can also make derivation of the true 3-D structure difficult.

The Planetary Theory of Solar Activity Variability: A Review
Commenting the 11-year sunspot cycle, Wolf (1859, MNRAS 19, 85–86) conjectured that “the variations of spot-frequency depend on the influences of Venus, Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.” The high synchronization of our planetary system is already nicely ...

Shape, structure, and morphology in planetary nebulae [PDF]
AbstractA revival over the past two decades in planetary nebula (PN) morphological studies springs from a combination of factors, including the advent of wide-area, high dynamic range detectors; the growing archives of high resolution images from the X-ray to the sub-mm; and the advent of sophisticated models of the co-evolution of PNe and their ...

Structure augmented monocular saliency for planetary rovers
This paper proposes a novel object detection method based on the visual saliency model in order to reliably detect objects such as rocks from single monocular planetary images. The algorithm takes advantage of the relatively homogeneous and distinct albedos present in planetary environments such as Mars or the Moon to extract a Digital Terrain Model of
