Forming Massive Terrestrial Satellites through Binary-Exchange Capture
Darren M. Williams, Michael E. Zugger
The number of planetary satellites around solid objects in the inner Solar System is small either because they are difficult or unlikely to form, or that they do not survive for as…
Expected Gamma-Ray Burst Detection Rates and Redshift Distributions for the BlackCAT CubeSat Mission
Joseph M. Colosimo, Derek B. Fox, Abraham D. Falcone +17
We report the results of an extensive set of simulations exploring the sensitivity of the BlackCAT CubeSat to long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). BlackCAT is a NASA APRA-funded…
Warming early Mars with CO2 and H2
Ramses M. Ramirez, Ravi Kopparapu, Michael E. Zugger +3
The presence of valleys on ancient terrains of Mars suggest that liquid water flowed on the martian surface 3.8 billion years ago or before. The above-freezing temperatures require…
Light scattering from exoplanet oceans and atmospheres
Michael E. Zugger, James F. Kasting, Darren M. Williams +2
Orbital variation in reflected starlight from exoplanets could eventually be used to detect surface oceans. Exoplanets with rough surfaces, or dominated by atmospheric Rayleigh sca…
The JANUS X-Ray Flash Monitor
A. D. Falcone, D. N. Burrows, S. Barthelmy +12
JANUS is a NASA small explorer class mission which just completed phase A and was intended for a 2013 launch date. The primary science goals of JANUS are to use high redshift (6<z<…
