Dynamic Potential Sputtering of Lunar Analog Material by Solar Wind Ions
Pyroxenes ((Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn)<SUB>2</SUB>Si<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>6</SUB>) belong to the most abundant rock forming minerals that make up the surface of rocky planets and moons. Therefore, sputtering of pyroxenes by solar wind ions has to be considered as a very important process for modifying the surface of planetary bodies....

Generation of Low-inclination, Neptune-crossing Trans-Neptunian Objects by Planet Nine
The solar system's distant reaches exhibit a wealth of anomalous dynamical structure, hinting at the presence of a yet-undetected, massive trans-Neptunian body—Planet Nine (P9). Previous analyses have shown how orbital evolution induced by this object can explain the origins of a broad assortment of exotic orbits, rang...

Inverse Multiview. I. Multicalibrator Inverse Phase Referencing for Microarcsecond Very Long Baseline Interferometry Astrometry
Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) astrometry is a well established technique for achieving ±10 μas parallax accuracies at frequencies well above 10 GHz. At lower frequencies, uncompensated interferometer delays associated with the ionosphere play the dominant role in limiting the astrometric accuracy. Multiview ...

The paper derives the one-to-one connecting relationships between plasma heating and its polytropic index, and addresses the consequences through the transport equation of temperature. Thermodynamic polytropic processes are classified in accordance to their polytropic index, the exponent of the power-law relationship o...

Toward a General Parameterization of the Warm Dark Matter Halo Mass Function
Studies of flux anomalies statistics and perturbations in stellar streams have the potential to constrain models of warm dark matter (WDM), including sterile neutrinos. Producing these constraints requires a parameterization of the WDM mass function relative to that of the cold dark matter (CDM) equivalent. We use five...

Ambipolar Heating of Magnetars
Magnetars, neutron stars thought to be with ultrastrong magnetic fields of 10<SUP>14-15</SUP> G, are observed to be much hotter than ordinary pulsars with ~10<SUP>12</SUP> G, and additional heating sources are required. One possibility is heating by the ambipolar diffusion in the stellar core. This scenario is examined...

HD 83443c: A Highly Eccentric Giant Planet on a 22 yr Orbit
We report the discovery of a highly eccentric long-period Jovian planet orbiting the hot-Jupiter host HD 83443. By combining radial velocity data from four instruments (AAT/UCLES, Keck/HIRES, HARPS, Minerva-Australis) spanning more than two decades, we find evidence for a planet with m sin $i={1.35}_{-0.06}^{+0.07}$ M ...

The Detectability of Kiloparsec-scale Dual Active Galactic Nuclei: The Impact of Galactic Structure and Black Hole Orbital Properties
Observational searches for dual active galactic nuclei (dAGNs) at kiloparsec separations are crucial for understanding the role of galaxy mergers in the evolution of galaxies. In addition, kiloparsec-scale dAGNs may serve as the parent population of merging massive black hole (MBH) binaries, an important source of grav...

Detection of Dynamical Instability in Titan's Thermospheric Jet
Similar to Earth, Saturn's largest moon, Titan, possesses a system of high-altitude zonal winds (or jets) that encircle the globe. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in 2016 August, Lellouch et al. discovered an equatorial jet at much higher altitudes than previously known, with a surprisingl...

Carbon Abundance of Globular Cluster M22 (NGC 6656) and the Surface Carbon Depletion Rates of the Milky Way Globular Clusters
It is well known that metal-poor red giant branch (RGB) stars show variations in some elemental abundances, including carbon, due to the internal mixing accompanied by their own in situ CN cycle in the hydrogen burning shell. With our new photometric carbon abundance measurements of RGB stars in M22 and other globular ...

  title : 'Dynamic Potential Sputtering of Lunar Analog Material by Solar Wind Ions',
  abstract : 'Pyroxenes ((Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn)<SUB>2</SUB>Si<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>6</SUB>) belong to the most abundant rock forming minerals that make up the surface of rocky planets and moons. Therefore, sputtering of pyroxenes by solar wind ions has to be considered as a very important process for modifying the surface of planetary bodies. This is increased due to potential sputtering by multiply charged ions; to quantify this effect, sputtering of wollastonite (CaSiO<SUB>3</SUB>) by He<SUP>2+</SUP> ions was investigated. Thin films of CaSiO<SUB>3</SUB> deposited on a quartz crystal microbalance were irradiated, allowing precise, in situ, real time sputtering yield measurements. Experimental results were compared with SDTrimSP simulations, which were improved by adapting the used input parameters. On freshly prepared surfaces, He<SUP>2+</SUP> ions show a significant increase in sputtering, as compared to equally fast He<SUP>+</SUP> ions. However, the yield decreases exponentially with fluence, reaching a lower steady state after sputtering of the first few monolayers. Experiments using Ar<SUP>8+</SUP> ions show a similar behavior, which is qualitatively explained by a preferential depletion of surface oxygen due to potential sputtering. A corresponding quantitative model is applied, and the observed potential sputtering behaviors of both He and Ar are reproduced very well. The results of these calculations support the assumption that mainly O atoms are affected by potential sputtering. Based on our findings, we discuss the importance of potential sputtering for the solar wind eroding the lunar surface. Estimated concentration changes and sputtering yields are both in line with previous modeling for other materials, allowing a consistent perspective on the effects of solar wind potential sputtering.',
