Stick-slip dynamics in penetration experiments on simulated regolith
Jack Featherstone, Robert Bullard, Tristan Emm +7
The surfaces of many planetary bodies, including asteroids and small moons, are covered with dust to pebble-sized regolith held weakly to the surface by gravity and contact forces.…
The science enabled by a dedicated solar system space telescope
Cindy L. Young, Michael H. Wong, Kunio M. Sayanagi +35
The National Academy Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Science (CAPS) made a recommendation to study a large/medium-class dedicated space telescope for planetary science, goi…
Architectures and Technologies for a Space Telescope for Solar System Science
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Cindy L. Young, Lynn Bowman +37
We advocate for a mission concept study for a space telescope dedicated to solar system science in Earth orbit. Such a study was recommended by the Committee on Astrobiology and Pl…
Multi-Particle Collisions in Microgravity: Coefficient of Restitution and Sticking Threshold for Systems of Mm-Sized Particles
J. Brisset, T. Miletich, J. Metzger +3
The current model of planet formation lacks a good understanding of the growth of dust particles inside the protoplanetary disk beyond mm sizes. In order to investigate the low-vel…
Sharp gap edges in dense planetary rings: An axisymmetric diffusion model
Fabio Grätz, Martin Seiß, Jürgen Schmidt +2
One of the most intriguing facets of Saturn's rings are the sharp edges of gaps in the rings where the surface density abruptly drops to zero. This is despite of the fact that the…
Regolith behavior under asteroid-level gravity conditions: low-velocity impact experiments
Julie Brisset, Joshua E. Colwell, Adrienne Dove +3
The dusty regolith covering the surfaces of asteroids and planetary satellites differs in size, shape, and composition from terrestrial soil particles and is subject to very differ…
Solar System Ice Giants: Exoplanets in our Backyard
Abigail Rymer, Kathleen Mandt, Dana Hurley +110
Future remote sensing of exoplanets will be enhanced by a thorough investigation of our solar system Ice Giants (Neptune-size planets). What can the configuration of the magnetic f…
NanoRocks: Design and Performance of an Experiment Studying Planet Formation on the International Space Station
J. Brisset, J. Colwell, A. Dove +1
In an effort to better understand the early stages of planet formation, we have developed a 1.5U payload that flew on the International Space Station (ISS) in the NanoRacks NanoLab…
Signatures of recent asteroid disruptions in the formation and evolution of solar system dust bands
A. J. Espy Kehoe, T. J. J. Kehoe, J. E. Colwell +1
We have performed detailed dynamical modeling of the structure of a faint dust band observed in coadded IRAS data at an ecliptic latitude of 17 that convincingly demonstr…
