Fitting the Light Curve of 1I/‘Oumuamua with a Nonprincipal Axis Rotational Model and Outgassing Torques

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
In this paper, we investigate the nonprincipal axis (NPA) rotational state of 1I/‘Oumuamua—the first interstellar object discovered traversing the inner solar system—from its photometric light curve.

The Solar System Notification Alert Processing System (SNAPS): Design, Architecture, and First Data Release (SNAPShot1)

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present here the design, architecture, and first data release for the Solar System Notification Alert Processing System (SNAPS). SNAPS is a solar system broker that ingests alert data from all-sky surveys.

Short-axis-mode rotation of a free rigid body by perturbation series [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A simple rearrangement of the torque free motion Hamiltonian shapes it as a perturbation problem for bodies rotating close to the principal axis of maximum inertia, independently of their triaxiality.

Three Fast-spinning Medium-sized Hilda Asteroids Uncovered by TESS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Hilda asteroids, which orbit in a 3:2 resonance with Jupiter, serve as key indicators of dynamical processes in the early solar system. Their spin rates, an important probe of these mechanisms, can constrain their density and collisional evolution ...

Meteorites and cosmic dust: Interstellar heritage and nebular processes in the early solar system

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Small solar system bodies like asteroids and comets have escaped planetary accretion. They are the oldest and best preserved witnesses of the formation of the solar system.

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.

Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distribution of Jupiter Trojans

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Jupiter Trojans (JTs) librate about the Lagrangian stationary centers L4 and L5 associated with this planet on typically small-eccentricity and moderate-inclination heliocentric orbits.

Mid-IR Observations of IRAS, AKARI, WISE/NEOWISE, and Subaru for Large Icy Asteroid (704) Interamnia: A New Perspective of Regolith Properties and Water Ice Fraction

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
(704) Interamnia is one of the largest asteroids located in the outer main-belt region, which may contain a large amount of water ice underneath its surface.

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Potential for Solar System Science with the ngVLA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Radio wavelength observations of solar system bodies are a powerful method of probing many characteristics of those bodies. From surface and subsurface, to atmospheres (including deep atmospheres of the giant planets), to rings, to the magnetosphere of ...
