Polarimetric survey of main-belt asteroids⋆
Aims. We present the first results of a polarimetric survey of main-belt asteroids at Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito (Casleo), San Juan, Argentina. The aims of this survey are to increase the database of asteroid polarimetry, to estimate diversity in polarimetric properties of asteroids that belong to different taxonomic classes, and to search for objects that exhibit anomalous polarimetric p...
متن کاملActive Asteroids: Mystery in the Main Belt
Classically, comets from the outer solar system (beyond the orbit of Neptune), are expected to be icy, and thus active near the Sun, while asteroids in the inner solar system (interior to the orbit of Jupiter) are expected to be relatively ice-deficient, and thus inert. Studies of anomalous objects, most recently 133P/Elst-Pizarro, challenge this classical picture, however, and suggest that eit...
متن کاملDetection of the Yarkovsky effect for main-belt asteroids
The Yarkovsky effect, a non-gravitational acceleration produced by the anisotropic emission of thermal energy (Öpik, 1951, Proc. Roy. Irish Acad. 54, 165–199), plays an important role in the dynamical evolution of asteroids. Current theoretical models of the Yarkovsky effect, however, rely on a number of poorly known parameters that can only approximate how real asteroids respond to solar heati...
متن کاملTwo-color fiber amplifier for short-pulse, mid-infrared generation.
A short-pulse, two-color Yb:fiber laser system has been developed for mid-infrared generation. To date, 20 microW of average power at a wavelength of approximately 18 microm is generated by difference-frequency mixing 300 mW average power from the two-color Yb:fiber amplifier. The mid-infrared power was not limited by two-photon absorption, allowing it to be scaled by increasing the amplifier p...
متن کاملCharacterization of Fe3O4/rGO Composites from Natural Sources: Application for Dyes Color Degradation in Aqueous Solution
The magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle and graphene oxide (GO) have become interesting materials due to their advanced applications. In this work, we investigated the fabrication of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) from iron sands and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) NPs from natural graphite. The core-shell fabrication of the Fe3O4/rGO was co...
