Detection and characterisation of binary asteroid candidates through stellar occultations
R. Lallemand, J. Desmars, B. Sicardy +256
Binary asteroids provide key access to fundamental parameters of Solar System remnants and planetary formations. However, the current knowledge of binary asteroids remains strongly…
Asteroid modelling by starlight diffraction: The shape of Dimorphos, the satellite of (65803) Didymos
P. Tanga, K. Tsiganis, D. Souami +17
The DART spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the satellite of (65803) Didymos, in September 2022. Evidence of crater formation and possible global reshaping has been obtained indirectly…
Constraints on (2060) Chiron's size, shape, and surrounding material from the November 2018 and September 2019 stellar occultations
Felipe Braga-Ribas, C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy +24
After the discovery of rings around the largest known Centaur object, (10199) Chariklo, we carried out observation campaigns of stellar occultations produced by the second-largest…
Physical dealloying for two-phase heat transfer applications: pool boiling case
Artem Nikulin, Yaroslav Grosu, Jean-Luc Dauvergne +2
In this work, physical dealloying was explored as a simple and green method to microstructure the surface of commercial brass for pool boiling heat transfer coefficient enhancement…
A facile approach for phase change material encapsulation into polymeric flexible fibers using microfluidic principles
Mikel Duran, Artem Nikulin, Jean-Luc Dauvergne +4
It is widely agreed that phase change materials (PCMs) are of high interest for sustainable energy future. Many of the applications require anti-leakage properties of PCM, that can…
Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations
J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234
A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…
Refined physical parameters for Chariklo's body and rings from stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2020
B. E. Morgado, B. Sicardy, F. Braga-Ribas +78
The Centaur (10199) Chariklo has the first rings system discovered around a small object. It was first observed using stellar occultation in 2013. Stellar occultations allow the de…
Spacing effect on pool boiling performance of three triangular pitched and vertically oriented tubes
Artem Nikulin, Jean-Luc Dauvergne, Asier Ortuondo +1
There is a scarcity of available data on boiling process in vertically oriented tube bundles in accessible sources. Lack of systematic studies is limiting further expansion of this…
Hierarchical macro-nanoporous metals for leakage-free high-thermal conductivity shape-stabilized phase change materials
Yaroslav Grosu, Yanqi Zhao, Alberto Giacomello +6
Impregnation of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) into a porous medium is a promising way to stabilize their shape and improve thermal conductivity which are essential for thermal ener…
Size and Shape Constraints of (486958) Arrokoth from Stellar Occultations
Marc W. Buie, Simon B. Porter, Peter Tamblyn +130
We present the results from four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission. Three of the four efforts led to positive detecti…
Size and shape of Chariklo from multi-epoch stellar occultations
R Leiva, B Sicardy, J I B Camargo +28
We use data from five stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2016 to constrain Chariklo's size and shape, and the ring reflectivity. We consider four possible models for Ch…
The structure of Chariklo's rings from stellar occultations
D. Bérard, B. Sicardy, J. I. B. Camargo +79
Two narrow and dense rings (called C1R and C2R) were discovered around the Centaur object (10199) Chariklo during a stellar occultation observed on 2013 June 3. Following this disc…
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy
O. Mousis, R. Hueso, J. -P. Beaulieu +57
Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy. Here we review the different domains of t…
