Spectral Variations across Latitudes on Asteroid (3200) Phaethon
The Astrophysical Journal3200 Phaethon is a near-Earth asteroid known to be actively emitting dust and gas when near its perihelion, and it is the target of the Japanese DESTINY+ mission. Several visible–near-IR spectra were obtained of Phaethon during 2003–2017, which have been

Feedback stabilization of displaced periodic orbits : Application to binary asteroid
, 2012 This paper investigates displaced periodic orbits at linear order in the circular restricted Earth-Moon system (CRTBP), where the third massless body utilizes a hybrid of solar sail and a solar electric propulsion (SEP).

Advances in Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Intelligent Robotics and Electronics
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) integrate molecular anisotropy with electrical functionality to enable programmable actuation and reconfigurable electronics. This review classifies eLCEs into robotic actuators and adaptive electronics, summarizes key actuation mechanisms, and highlights fabrication strategies that bridge materials to ...

Displaced solar sail orbits : dynamics and applications
, 2010 We consider displaced periodic orbits at linear order in the circular restricted Earth-Moon system, where the third massless body is a solar sail. These highly non-Keplerian orbits are achieved using an extremely small sail acceleration.

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...

Investigating Local- and Global-scale Dust Redistribution on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko
The Planetary Science JournalWe use a 3D dynamical Monte Carlo model to simulate the trajectories of individual dust grains and map their redeposition across the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
