Configuration of the Martian dust rings: Shapes, densities and size-distributions from direct integrations of particle trajectories
Xiaodong Liu, Jürgen Schmidt
It is expected since the early 1970s that tenuous dust rings are formed by grains ejected from the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos by impacts of hypervelocity interplanetary projec…
Two-body model for the spatial distribution of dust ejected from an atmosphereless body
Anastasiia Ershova, Jürgen Schmidt
We present a model for the configuration of noninteracting material that is ejected in a continuous manner from an atmosphereless gravitating body for a given distribution of sourc…
Motion of Dust Ejected from the Surface of Asteroid (101955) Bennu
Yu Jiang, Jürgen Schmidt
From Jan. 6, 2019 to Feb. 18, 2019, OSIRIS-REx observed asteroid (101955) Bennu ejecting 11 plumes of dust, of which part is escaping and another part is re-captured by the asteroi…
Ice Giant Systems: The Scientific Potential of Orbital Missions to Uranus and Neptune
Leigh N. Fletcher, Ravit Helled, Elias Roussos +27
Uranus and Neptune, and their diverse satellite and ring systems, represent the least explored environments of our Solar System, and yet may provide the archetype for the most comm…
Sharp gap edges in dense planetary rings: An axisymmetric diffusion model
Fabio Grätz, Martin Seiß, Jürgen Schmidt +2
One of the most intriguing facets of Saturn's rings are the sharp edges of gaps in the rings where the surface density abruptly drops to zero. This is despite of the fact that the…
Comparison of the orbital properties of Jupiter Trojan asteroids and Trojan dust
Xiaodong Liu, Jürgen Schmidt
In a previous paper we simulated the orbital evolution of dust particles from the Jupiter Trojan asteroids ejected by the impacts of interplanetary particles, and evaluated their o…
