Transport of dust across the Solar System: Constraints on the spatial origin of individual micrometeorites from cosmic-ray exposure

Reto Georg Trappitsch

The origin of micrometeorites (MMs) from asteroids and comets is well-established, but the relative contribution from these two classes remains poorly resolved. Likewise, determining the precise origin of individual MMs is an open challenge. Here, cosmic-r ...

Blue ice in Antarctica: The gateway to travel in time and space

Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

Antarctica has unique areas that expose blue ice, which contrast to most of the continent (~98%) that is covered by snow. Some of these blue ice areas (BIAs) contain meteorite concentrations and (very) old ice, making them very valuable for understanding o ...

Euclid: Identification of asteroid streaks in simulated images using deep learning

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

The material composition of asteroids is an essential piece of knowledge in the quest to understand the formation and evolution of the Solar System. Visual to near-infrared spectra or multiband photometry is required to constrain the material composition o ...

The Effects of Planetary and Stellar Parameters on Brittle Lithospheric Thickness

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Michael Heap

The thicknesss of the brittle lithosphere—the outer portion of a planetary body that fails via fracturing— plays a key role in the geological processes of that body. The properties of both a planet and its host star can influence that thickness, and the po ...

LSST: From Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

David Atienza Alonso, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Darong Huang, Shahram Khazaei

We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The LSST design is driven by four main science themes: probing dark energy and dark matter, taking an inventory of the solar system, ex ...

Exergoeconomic optimization of a solar driven system with reverse osmosis desalination unit and phase change material thermal energy storages

Hossein Pourrahmani

The goal of the current article is to suggest a novel solar system to produce power, fresh water, and cooling. As solar energy is unavailable at nights, a novel thermal storage system (TES) based on phase change material (PCM) is used to store the required ...

A large planetary body inferred from diamond inclusions in a ureilite meteorite

Cécile Hébert, Emad Oveisi, Marco Cantoni, Philippe Gillet, James Badro, Farhang Nabiei, Teresa Katharina Dennenwaldt

Planetary formation models show that terrestrial planets are formed by the accretion of tens of Moon-to Mars-sized planetary embryos through energetic giant impacts. However, relics of these large proto-planets are yet to be found. Ureilites are one of the ...

From 2D to 3D Characterization of Materials Subjected to Extreme Pressure and Temperature Conditions

Farhang Nabiei

Planetesimal were the first planetary objects to form in the solar system, which later grew to make the proto-planets. Most of these bodies were differentiated as a result of internal heating. Several differentiated bodies have, then, been accreted followi ...

Joint Anomaly Detection and Spectral Unmixing for Planetary Hyperspectral Images

Harold Gabriel Eugène Justin Clenet

Hyperspectral (HS) images are commonly used in the context of planetary exploration, particularly for the analysis of the composition of planets. As several instruments have been sent throughout the Solar System, a huge quantity of data is getting availabl ...
