A CO2 cycle on Ariel? Radiolytic production and migration to low latitude cold traps
Richard J. Cartwright, Tom A. Nordheim, David DeColibus +11
CO2 ice is present on the trailing hemisphere of Ariel but is mostly absent from its leading hemisphere. The leading/trailing hemispherical asymmetry in the distribution of CO2 ice…
Thermophysical Investigation of Asteroid Surfaces II: Factors Influencing Grain Size
Eric M. MacLennan, Joshua P. Emery
Asteroid surfaces are subjected to mechanical weathering processes that result in the development and evolution of regolith. Two proposed mechanisms--impact bombardment and thermal…
Thermophysical Investigation of Asteroid Surfaces I: Characterization of Thermal Inertia
Eric M. MacLennan, Joshua P. Emery
The thermal inertia of an asteroid is an indicator of the thermophysical properties of the regolith and is determined by the size of grains on the surface. Previous thermophysical…
The Lifecycle of Hollows on Mercury: An Evaluation of Candidate Volatile Phases and a Novel Model of Formation
Michael S. Phillips, Jeffrey E. Moersch, Christina E. Viviano +1
A thermophysical model was developed to test the viability of 57 candidate hollow-forming volatiles within the hollow-formation model framework of Blewett et al. (2013). We find th…
