Planetary Trojans – the main source of short period comets? [PDF]
International Journal of Astrobiology, 2010 AbstractOne of the key considerations when assessing the potential habitability of telluric worlds will be that of the impact regime experienced by the planet. In this work, we present a short review of our understanding of the impact regime experienced by the terrestrial planets within our own Solar system, describing the three populations of ...

The distant activity of Short Period Comets★- II. [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007 A surprisingly large number of short-period comets have been observed with significant activity (a coma and even a well-developed dust tail) at heliocentric distances greater than 3 au, where the water sublimation rate is low and thus the sublimation of other volatiles, such as for example CO, could drive the presence of a coma.

CLATHRATE HYDRATES FORMATION IN SHORT-PERIOD COMETS
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 The initial composition of current models of cometary nuclei is only based on two forms of ice: crystalline ice for long-period comets and amorphous ice for short-period comets. A third form of ice, i.e., clathrate hydrate, could exist within the short-period cometary nuclei, but the area of formation of this crystalline structure in these objects has ...

Long Dust Trails of Short Period Comets [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1991 Comets constitute an important source for the zodiacal dust cloud. Mainly large particles are contributed because the smaller particles are emitted into hyperbolic orbits relative to the sun. Radiation pressure force reduces the effective solar gravitational attraction. Information about large cometary particles can be derived from a variety of sources

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Periodontitis is a long‐term condition affecting up to half of the population globally and causing significant impacts on life quality. Successful management depends on taking life‐long ownership of the condition by those affected. There is a wealth of research to inform on management options. However, most of the research has been designed by

Pits on Jupiter-family Comets and the Age of Cometary Surfaces
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Large and deep depressions, also known as pits, are observed at the surface of all Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) imaged by spacecraft missions. They offer the opportunity to glimpse the subsurface characteristics of comet nuclei and study the complex ...

Recent Advances in Ferrite‐Based Materials for Biomedical Applications: A Comprehensive Review
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Ferrite nanoplatforms are presented as tunable biomedical materials in which synthesis control, cation engineering, defect/morphology regulation, and surface functionalization govern structure–property–bioactivity relationships. These design strategies enable multifunctional applications including MRI contrast, magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug ...

The activity characteristics and mechanisms of long-period comets
Earth and Planetary PhysicsComets are small celestial bodies orbiting around the Sun. They are remnants left over from the formation of the solar system; their interiors store original material of the planetary disk within the solar system. They are thus "fossils" for studying the
