Contemporary formation of early solar system planetesimals at two distinct radial locations

Alessandro Morbidelli, Kevin Baillie, Konstantin Batygin +4

The formation of planetesimals is expected to occur via particle-gas instabilities that concentrate dust into self-gravitating clumps. Triggering these instabilities requires the p…

Very weak carbonaceous asteroid simulants I: mechanical properties and response to hypervelocity impacts

Chrysa Avdellidou, Alice DiDonna, Cody Schultz +6

The two on-going sample return space missions, Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx are going to return to Earth asteroid regolith from the carbonaceous near-Earth asteroids Ryugu and Bennu. T…

The diffuse interstellar band around 8620 Å II. Kinematics and distance of the DIB carrier

H. Zhao, M. Schultheis, A. Rojas-Arriagada +4

We aim to make use of the measurements from the Giraffe Inner Bulge Survey (GIBS) and the GaiaESO survey (GES) to study the kinematics and distance of the carrier of DIB862…

Whistler instability driven by the sunward electron deficit in the solar wind

Laura Berčič, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher J. Owen +18

Solar wind electrons play an important role in the energy balance of the solar wind acceleration by carrying energy into interplanetary space in the form of electron heat flux. The…
