Cosmic Dust Aggregation with Stochastic Charging
Lorin S. Matthews, Babak Shotorban, Truell W. Hyde
The coagulation of cosmic dust grains is a fundamental process which takes place in astrophysical environments, such as presolar nebulae and circumstellar and protoplanetary disks.…
Numerical Investigations of Kuiper Belt Binaries
R. C. Nazzario, T. W. Hyde
Observations of the Kuiper Belt indicate that a larger than expected percentage of KBO's (approximately 8 out of 500) are in binary pairs. The formation and survival of such object…
Construction of a PZT Sensor Network for Low and Hypervelocity Impact Detection
J. A. Carmona, M. Cook, M. Cooper +4
Orbital debris is a constraint on the long-term health of any spacecraft and must be considered during mission planning. Varying mechanisms have been proposed to quantify the probl…
Orbits of Dust Ejecta From Ceres
R. C. Nazzario, T. W. Hyde
The question of whether asteroid ejecta can enter stable orbits about the parent body is examined.
Dynamics of Interplanetary Planetismal Rings
Bruce D. Lindsay, Truell W. Hyde
Among the problems yet to be solved by current theories of solar system formation is the origin of the Jupiter-family comets. Several possibilities are examined using a fifth-order…
Finite Coulomb Crystal Formation
J. Vasut, T. W. Hyde, L. Barge
Dust particles immersed within a plasma environment, such as those found in planetary rings or comets, will acquire an electric charge. If the ratio of the inter-particle potential…
