Dynamical erosion of the asteroid belt and implications for large impacts in the inner solar system
The cumulative effects of weak resonant and secular perturbations by the major planets produce chaotic behavior of asteroids on long timescales. Dynamical chaos is the dominant loss mechanism for asteroids with diameters D & 10 km in the current asteroid belt. In a numerical analysis of the long term evolution of test particles in the main asteroid belt region, we find that the dynamical loss h...
متن کاملDust Measurements in the Outer Solar System
Dust measurements in the outer solar system are reviewed. Only the plasma wave instrument on board Voyagers 1 and 2 recorded impacts in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (EKB). Pioneers 10 and 11 measured a constant dust flux of 10micron-sized particles out to 20 AU. Dust detectors on board Ulysses and Galileo uniquely identified micron-sized interstellar grains passing through the planetary system. Im...
متن کاملKuiper Belt evolution due to dynamical friction
In this paper we study the role of dynamical friction on the evolution of a population of large objects (m > 10 g) at heliocentric distances > 70 AU in the Kuiper Belt. We show that the already flat distribution of these objects must flatten further due to nonspherically symmetric distribution of matter in the Kuiper Belt. Moreover the dynamical drag, produced by dynamical friction, causes obje...

در این پژوهش مسئله واگذاری ترافیک را از دید سیستم های دینامیکی فرمول بندی می کنیم.فرض کرده ایم که همه فاکتورهای وابسته در طول زمان ثابت باشند و تعادل کاربر را از طریق فرایند منظم روزبه روز پیگیری کنیم.دینامیک ترافیک توسط یک نگاشت بازگشتی نشان داده می شود که تکامل سیستم در طول زمان را نشان می دهد.پایداری تعادل و دامنه جذب را توسط مطالعه ویژگی های توپولوژیکی تکامل سیستم تجزیه و تحلیل می کنیم.پاید...
The Hubble Wide Field Camera 3 Test of Surfaces in the Outer Solar System: Spectral Variation on Kuiper Belt Objects
Here, we present additional photometry of targets observed as part of the Hubble Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) Test of Surfaces in the Outer Solar System. Twelve targets were re-observed with the WFC3 in the optical and NIR wavebands designed to complement those used during the first visit. Additionally, all of the observations originally presented by Fraser and Brown were reanalyzed through the s...
