Electron dynamics in small magnetospheres: insights from global fully-kinetic plasma simulations of planet Mercury
Federico Lavorenti, Pierre Henri, Francesco Califano +4
The planet Mercury possesses a small but highly dynamic magnetosphere in which the role and dynamics of electrons are still largely unknown. We aim at modeling the global dynamics…
On the Origin and Thermal Stability of Arrokoths and Plutos Ices
C. M. Lisse, L. A. Young, D. P. Cruikshank +30
We discuss in a thermodynamic, geologically empirical way the long-term nature of the stable majority ices that could be present in Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU69 after its 4.6 Gyr r…
Debiased albedo distribution for Near Earth Objects
Alessandro Morbidelli, Marco Delbo, Mikael Granvik +5
We extend the most recent orbital and absolute magnitude Near Earth Object (NEO) model (Granvik et al., 2018) to provide a statistical description of NEO geometric albedos. Our mod…
Earthshine as an Illumination Source at the Moon
David A. Glenar, Timothy J. Stubbs, Edward W. Schwieterman +2
Earthshine is the dominant source of natural illumination on the surface of the Moon during lunar night, and at locations within permanently shadowed regions that never receive dir…
Solar wind dynamics around a comet - A 2D semi-analytical kinetic model
E. Behar, B. Tabone, M. Saillenfest +5
We aim at analytically modelling the solar wind proton trajectories during their interaction with a partially ionised cometary atmosphere, not in terms of bulk properties of the fl…
Tensile Strength of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Nucleus Material from Overhangs
N. Attree, O. Groussin, L. Jorda +52
We directly measure twenty overhanging cliffs on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko extracted from the latest shape model and estimate the minimum tensile strengths nee…
