Astronomical Observability of the Cassini Entry into Saturn
Ralph Lorenz
The Cassini spacecraft will enter Saturn's atmosphere on 15th September 2017. This event may be visible from Earth as a 'meteor' flash, and entry dynamics simulations and results f…
A Framework for Relating the Structures and Recovery Statistics in Pressure Time-Series Surveys for Dust Devils
Brian Jackson, Ralph Lorenz, Karan Davis
Dust devils are likely the dominant source of dust for the martian atmosphere, but the amount and frequency of dust-lifting depend on the statistical distribution of dust devil par…
Seismic wave propagation in icy ocean worlds
Simon C. Stähler, Mark P. Panning, Steve D. Vance +4
Seismology was developed on Earth and shaped our model of the Earth's interior over the 20th century. With the exception of the Philae lander, all in situ extraterrestrial seismolo…
Empirical Recurrence Rates for Seismic Signals on Planetary Surfaces
Ralph Lorenz, Mark Panning
We review the recurrence intervals as a function of ground motion amplitude at several terrestrial locations, and make the first interplanetary comparison with measurements on the…
Wind Shear and Turbulence on Titan : Huygens Analysis
Ralph Lorenz
Wind shear measured by Doppler tracking of the Huygens probe is evaluated, and found to be within the range anticipated by pre-flight assessments (namely less than two times the Br…
Bouncing on Titan: Motion of the Huygens Probe in the Seconds After Landing
Stefan E. Schröder, Erich Karkoschka, Ralph D. Lorenz
While landing on Titan, several instruments onboard Huygens acquired measurements that indicate the probe did not immediately come to rest. Detailed knowledge of the probe's motion…
