Electrostatic Dust Ejection From Asteroid (3200) Phaethon With the Aid of Mobile Alkali Ions at Perihelion
Hiroshi Kimura, Katsuhito Ohtsuka, Shota Kikuchi +12
The asteroid (3200) Phaethon is known to be the parent body of the Geminids, although meteor showers are commonly associated with the activity of periodic comets. What is most pecu…
Is water ice an efficient facilitator for dust coagulation?
Hiroshi Kimura, Koji Wada, Hiroshi Kobayashi +8
Beyond the snow line of protoplanetary discs and inside the dense core of molecular clouds, the temperature of gas is low enough for water vapour to condense into amorphous ices on…
The tensile strength of dust aggregates consisting of small elastic grains: Constraints on the size of condensates in protoplanetary disks
Hiroshi Kimura, Koji Wada, Fumi Yoshida +7
A consensus view on the formation of planetesimals is now exposed to a threat, since recent numerical studies on the mechanical properties of dust aggregates tend to dispute the co…
Modelling DESTINY+ interplanetary and interstellar dust measurements en route to the active asteroid (3200) Phaethon
Harald Krüger, Peter Strub, Ralf Srama +10
The JAXA/ISAS spacecraft DESTINY will be launched to the active asteroid (3200) Phaethon in 2022. Among the proposed core payload is the DESTINY+ Dust Analyzer (DDA) which is a…
Increase in cratering efficiency with target curvature in strength-controlled craters
Ayako I. Suzuki, Chisato Okamoto, Kosuke Kurosawa +3
Impact-cratering processes on small bodies are thought to be mainly controlled by the local material strength because of their low surface gravity, and craters that are as large as…
