Component periods of non-principal-axis rotation and their manifestations in the lightcurves of asteroids and bare cometary nuclei
Nalin H. Samarasinha, Beatrice E. A. Mueller
Lightcurve observations of asteroids and bare cometary nuclei are the most widely used observational tool to derive the rotational parameters. Therefore, an in-depth understanding…
Thermal structure of an exoplanet atmosphere from phase-resolved emission spectroscopy
Kevin B. Stevenson, Jean-Michel Desert, Michael R. Line +13
Exoplanets that orbit close to their host stars are much more highly irradiated than their Solar System counterparts. Understanding the thermal structures and appearances of these…
Near-Earth Asteroid Satellite Spins Under Spin-Orbit Coupling
Shantanu P. Naidu, Jean-Luc Margot
We develop a fourth-order numerical integrator to simulate the coupled spin and orbital motions of two rigid bodies having arbitrary mass distributions under the influence of their…
Long-time evolution of sequestered CO in porous media
Yossi Cohen, Daniel H. Rothman
CO sequestration in subsurface reservoirs is important for limiting atmospheric CO concentrations. However, a complete physical picture able to predict the structure develo…
Anisotropy in Fracking: A Percolation Model for Observed Microseismicity
J. Quinn Norris, Donald L. Turcotte, John B. Rundle
Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) using high pressures and a low viscosity fluid allow the extraction of large quantiles of oil and gas from very low permeability shale formations. T…
Evidence for Lunar True Polar Wander, and a Past Low-Eccentricity, Synchronous Lunar Orbit
James Tuttle Keane, Isamu Matsuyama
As first noted 200 years ago by Laplace, the Moon's rotational and tidal bulges are significantly larger than expected, given the Moon's present orbital and rotational state. This…
