Ejected Surface Regolith as a Potential Source Material for Centaur Rings
Kaustub Parvir Anand, David A. Minton, Julie Brisset
Ring systems have been observed around Centaur Chariklo (10199) and other small bodies but their origin and dynamical histories are still debated. These small body ring systems cha…
The Sesquinary Catastrophe on Deimos can reconcile its excited past with its dynamically cool present
Kaustub P. Anand, Matija Äuk, David A. Minton
The origins of the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos are highly debated, and hypotheses include formation from an impact-generated circum-Martian disk or from capture of asteroids. W…
Galaxy populations in protoclusters at cosmic noon
Moira Andrews, M. Celeste Artale, Ankit Kumar +20
We investigate the physical properties and redshift evolution of simulated galaxies residing in protoclusters at cosmic noon, to understand the influence of the environment on gala…
Two Possible Orbital Histories of Phobos
Matija Äuk, Kaustub P. Anand, David A. Minton
The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, have orbits that are close to martian equator, indicating their formation from a circumplanetary disk. Phobos is currently migrating towar…
