Numerical Simulations of Collisional Disruption of Rotating Gravitational Aggregates: Dependence on Material Properties
Ronald-Louis Ballouz, Derek C Richardson, Patrick Michel +2
Our knowledge of the strengths of small bodies in the Solar System is limited by our poor understanding of their internal structures, and this, in turn, clouds our understanding of…
Low-speed Impact Simulations into Regolith in Support of Asteroid Sampling Mechanism Design I.: Comparison with 1-g Experiments
Stephen R. Schwartz, Patrick Michel, Derek C. Richardson +1
This study is carried out in the framework of sample-return missions to asteroids that use a low-speed projectile as the primary component of its sampling mechanism (e.g., JAXA's H…
Numerical predictions of surface effects during the 2029 close approach of asteroid 99942 Apophis
Yang Yu, Derek C. Richardson, Patrick Michel +2
Asteroid (99942) Apophis' close approach in 2029 will be one of the most significant small-body encounter events in the near future and offers a good opportunity for in situ explor…
Optical probing of shocks driven into overdense plasmas by laser hole-boring
N. P. Dover, C. A. J. Palmer, M. Babzien +11
Observations of the interaction of an intense λ0 \approx 10 μm laser pulse with near-critical overdense plasmas (ne = 1.8 - 3 nc) are presented. For the first time, transverse opti…
