The Galactic Phosphorus Survey. I. Chemical Evolution across the Galactic Disk from 750 FGK Stars

Dionysios Gakis, Keith Hawkins, Zachary G. Maas +5

Phosphorus (P) is an odd- element produced primarily in massive stars and is also important for planetary chemistry as an element essential to life. However, its evolution over…

Revisiting thermoelectric effects in the crust of neutron stars

Dionysios Gakis, Konstantinos N. Gourgouliatos

Context. Large thermal variations have been observed in neutron stars that typically are not aligned with density gradients. Such terms may activate the Biermann battery effect, le…

Orbital analysis of the Pluto-Charon moon system's mutual interactions and forced frequencies

Dionysios Gakis, Konstantinos N. Gourgouliatos

Context. The orbits of the four small moons in the Pluto-Charon system, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra, are circumbinary, as the former form a binary dwarf planet. Consequently, the…

Orbits of the TOI-1338 and TIC-172900988 systems

Dionysios Gakis, Konstantinos N. Gourgouliatos

Recent observations by TESS revealed the existence of circumbinary planets in the systems of TOI-1338 and TIC-172900988. The purpose of this work is to model the planetary orbits i…

Modeling the effectiveness of radiation shielding materials for astronaut protection on Mars

Dionysios Gakis, Dimitra Atri

The surface of Mars is bombarded by energetic charged particles of solar and cosmic origin with little shielding compared to Earth. As space agencies are planning for crewed missio…

Orbit determination of the moons of the Pluto-Charon system

Dionysios Gakis, Konstantinos N. Gourgouliatos

Four small moons (Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra) are at present known to orbit around the barycenter of Pluto and Charon, which are themselves considered a binary dwarf-planet due…
