Testing the gravitational redshift with an inner Solar System probe: the VERITAS case
Fabrizio De Marchi, Gael Cascioli, Todd Ely +4
The NASA Discovery-class mission VERITAS, selected in June 2021, will be launched towards Venus after 2027. In addition to the science instrumentation that will build global founda…
Fast hierarchical low-rank view factor matrices for thermal irradiance on planetary surfaces
Samuel F. Potter, Stefano Bertone, Norbert Schörghofer +1
We present an algorithm for compressing the radiosity view factor model commonly used in radiation heat transfer and computer graphics. We use a format inspired by the hierarchical…
Internal rubble properties of asteroid (101955) Bennu
P. Tricarico, D. J. Scheeres, A. S. French +24
Exploration of asteroid (101955) Bennu by the OSIRIS-REx mission has provided an in-depth look at this rubble-pile near-Earth asteroid. In particular, the measured gravity field an…
Erosion of volatiles by micro-meteoroid bombardment on Ceres, and comparison to the Moon and Mercury
Petr Pokorný, Erwan Mazarico, Norbert Schorghofer
(1) Ceres, the largest reservoir of water in the main-belt, was recently visited by the Dawn spacecraft that revealed several areas bearing HO-ice features. Independent telesco…
Lunar Volatiles and Solar System Science
Parvathy Prem, Ákos Kereszturi, Ariel N. Deutsch +38
Understanding the origin and evolution of the lunar volatile system is not only compelling lunar science, but also fundamental Solar System science. This white paper (submitted to…
Next-Generation Geodesy at the Lunar South Pole: An Opportunity Enabled by the Artemis III Crew
Vishnu Viswanathan, Erwan Mazarico, Stephen Merkowitz +3
Lunar retro-reflector arrays (LRAs) consisting of corner-cube reflectors (CCRs) placed on the nearside of the Moon during the Apollo era have demonstrated their longevity, cost-eff…
