An efficient numerical approach to modeling the effects of particle shape on rubble-pile dynamics
Julian C. Marohnic, Joseph V. DeMartini, Derek C. Richardson +2
We present an approach for the inclusion of non-spherical constituents in high-resolution N-body discrete element method (DEM) simulations. We use aggregates composed of bonded sph…
The Properties and Origins of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth's Large Mounds
S. A. Stern, O. L. White, Wm. Grundy +10
We report on a study of the mounds that dominate the appearance of Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) (486958) Arrokoth's larger lobe, named Wenu. We compare the geological context of these…
Constraining the final merger of contact binary(486958) Arrokoth with soft-sphere discrete element simulations
J. C. Marohnic, D. C. Richardson, W. B. McKinnon +8
The New Horizons mission has returned stunning images of the bilobate Kuiper belt object (486958) Arrokoth. It is a contact binary, formed from two intact and relatively undisturbe…
The solar nebula origin of (486958) Arrokoth, a primordial contact binary in the Kuiper belt
W. B. McKinnon, D. C. Richardson, J. C. Marohnic +26
The New Horizons spacecraft's encounter with the cold classical Kuiper belt object (486958) Arrokoth (formerly 2014 MU69) revealed a contact-binary planetesimal. We investigate how…
Diagnosing added value of convection-permitting regional models using precipitation event identification and tracking
Won Chang, Jiali Wang, Julian Marohnic +2
Dynamical downscaling with high-resolution regional climate models may offer the possibility of realistically reproducing precipitation and weather events in climate simulations. A…
