Structure and evolution of central stars of Planetary Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997
In this review a critical examination of our present knowledge about the structure and evolution of central stars of planetary nebulae is presented. In particular, the still enigmatic origin of the Wolf-Rayet central stars is addressed, too. Some directions for future work are given at the end.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Autonomous Locomotion of Tensegrity Structure on Low‐Temperature Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A low‐temperature responsive tensegrity structure (LRTS) is constructed by integrating low‐responsive temperature liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) cables, nonresponsive cables, and stiff rods. The low phase transition temperature of LCE is achieved by introducing a new liquid crystal mesogen.

Evolution of Steam Worlds: Energetic Aspects

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Sub-Neptunes occupy an intriguing region of planetary mass–radius space, where theoretical models of interior structure predict that they could be water-rich, where water is in steam and supercritical state.

Modeling, Testing, and Characteristic Analysis of a Planetary Flywheel Inerter

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2018
We propose the planetary flywheel inerter, which is a new type of ball screw inerter. A planetary flywheel consists of several planetary gears mounted on a flywheel bracket. When the flywheel bracket is driven by a screw and rotating, each planetary gear

STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF PLANETARY MAGNETOSPHERES

open access: yes, 2022
The interactions between the ambient plasmas and the objects of the Solar System result in variable exchanges both in time and space of mass, momentum and energy within different types of magnetospheres. The characterization of the sources, the general circulation and the losses of the magnetospheric plasmas as well as the identification of the ...
