Granular Shear Flow in Varying Gravitational Environments
N. Murdoch, B. Rozitis, S. F. Green +3
Despite their very low surface gravities, asteroids exhibit a number of different geological processes involving granular matter. Understanding the response of this granular materi…
Granular Convection in Microgravity
N. Murdoch, B. Rozitis, K. Nordstrom +4
We investigate the role of gravity on convection in a dense granular shear flow. Using a microgravity modified Taylor-Couette shear cell under the conditions of parabolic flight mi…
Simulating regoliths in microgravity
N. Murdoch, B. Rozitis, S. F. Green +3
Despite their very low surface gravities, the surfaces of asteroids and comets are covered by granular materials - regolith - that can range from a fine dust to a gravel-like struc…
A thermophysical analysis of the (1862) Apollo Yarkovsky and YORP effects
Ben Rozitis, Sam R. Duddy, Simon F. Green +1
Near-Earth asteroid (1862) Apollo has strong detections of both orbital semimajor axis drift and rotational acceleration. We produce a unified model that can accurately match both…
