چکیده

We investigate the electromagnetic signals accompanied with planetary collisions and their event rate, and explore the possibility of directly detecting such events. A typical Earth– Jupiter collision would give rise to a prompt EUV-soft-X-ray flash lasting for hours and a bright IR afterglow lasting for thousands of years. With the current and forthcoming observational technology and facilities, some of these collisional flashes or the post-collision remnants could be discovered.

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions

By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...

Robot control system using SMR signals detection

One of the important issues in designing a brain-computer interface system is to select the type of mental activity to be imagined. In some of these systems, mental activity varies with user intent and action that must be controlled by the brain-computer system, and in a number of other signals, the received signals contain the same activity-related mental activity that should be performed by t...

Prospects for Detection of Catastrophic Collisions in Debris Disks

We investigate the prospects for detecting dust from two body collisions during the late stages of planet formation at 1–150 AU. We develop an analytic model to describe the formation of a dusty cloud of debris and use numerical coagulation and n-body calculations to predict observable signals from these events. In a minimum mass solar nebula, collisions of 100–1000 km objects at distances of 3...

Simulation of collisions in planetary rings

We investigate the evolution of structures in planetary rings in the neighbourhood of the orbit of an embedded moonlet (small satellite). The effects of collisions have been taken into account by introducing the velocity dependent restitution coefficient according to experimental and theoretical results. Here we present results of recent many-particle simulations which show a significant influe...
