Interstellar Dust in the Solar System
The Ulysses spacecraft has been orbiting the Sun on a highly inclined ellipse almost perpendicular to the ecliptic plane (inclination 79◦, perihelion distance 1.3 AU, aphelion distance 5.4 AU) since it encountered Jupiter in 1992. The in-situ dust detector on board continuously measured interstellar dust grains with masses up to 10−13 kg, penetrating deep into the solar system. The flow directi...
متن کاملDensities of Solar System Objects from Their Rotational Lightcurves
We present models of the shapes of four Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) and Jovian Trojan (624) Hektor as ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium and Roche binaries. Our simulations select those figures of equilibrium whose lightcurves best match the measured rotational data. The best fit shapes, combined with the knowledge of the spin period of the objects provide estimates of the bulk densities of thes...
متن کامل1 Mirror objects in the solar system ?
This talk was given at the Tunguska-2001 international conference but it is not about the Tunguska event. Instead we tried to give some flavor of mirror matter, which is predicted to exist if parity is an unbroken symmetry of nature, to non-experts. The possible connection of the mirror matter ideas to the Tunguska phenomenon was indicated by Foot and Gninenko some time ago and was elaborated b...
متن کاملOn the Stability of the Interstellar Wind through the Solar System
As a follow-up of a recent study [1], we challenge the claim that the flow of interstellar helium through the solar system has changed substantially over the last decades. We argue that only the IBEX-Lo 2009/2010 measurements are discrepant with older consensus values. Then we show that the probability of the claimed variations of longitude and velocity are highly unlikely (≈1%), in view of the...
متن کاملOrbital Motion in Outer Solar System
Motion of a point mass in gravitational fields of the Sun and of the galactic disk is studied. Fundamental features of the motion are found by investigating the time-averaged differential equations for orbital evolution. Several types of possible orbits are mathematically exactly derived in a strictly analytical way. The relation a P 2 = f(e0, i0, ω0) between semimajor axis a and period P of th...
