Autonomous optical navigation for DESTINY+: Enhancing misalignment robustness in flyby observations with a rotating telescope

Takayuki Hosonuma, Takeshi Miyabara, Naoya Ozaki +5

DESTINY+ is an upcoming JAXA Epsilon medium-class mission to flyby multiple asteroids including Phaethon. As an asteroid flyby observation instrument, a telescope mechanically capa…

Electrostatic Dust Ejection From Asteroid (3200) Phaethon With the Aid of Mobile Alkali Ions at Perihelion

Hiroshi Kimura, Katsuhito Ohtsuka, Shota Kikuchi +12

The asteroid (3200) Phaethon is known to be the parent body of the Geminids, although meteor showers are commonly associated with the activity of periodic comets. What is most pecu…

Is water ice an efficient facilitator for dust coagulation?

Hiroshi Kimura, Koji Wada, Hiroshi Kobayashi +8

Beyond the snow line of protoplanetary discs and inside the dense core of molecular clouds, the temperature of gas is low enough for water vapour to condense into amorphous ices on…

The tensile strength of dust aggregates consisting of small elastic grains: Constraints on the size of condensates in protoplanetary disks

Hiroshi Kimura, Koji Wada, Fumi Yoshida +7

A consensus view on the formation of planetesimals is now exposed to a threat, since recent numerical studies on the mechanical properties of dust aggregates tend to dispute the co…
