Comet 162P/Siding Spring: A Surprisingly Large Nucleus
We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in December 2004. The comet showed no dust coma at this time, so we have sampled emission from the comet’s nucleus. Observations using the “Mid-Infrared Spectrometer and Imager” (“MIRSI”) were performed at NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility, where the peak of the comet...
متن کاملMaking a comet nucleus
The chemical composition of a comet nucleus can be very strictly constrained by combining the latest results on: the core-mantle interstellar dustmodel, the solar systemabundances of the elements, the space observed composition of the dust of comet Halley, and the latest data on the volatile molecules of comet comae. The distribution of the components in the comet nucleus fall naturally into tw...
متن کاملEvolution of Comet Nucleus Rotation
The secular evolution of comet nucleus rotation states subject to outgassing torques is studied. The dynamical model assumes that the nucleus inertia ellipsoid is axially symmetric. The outgassing torques acting on the surface are modeled using standard cometary activity formulae. The general rotational equations of motion are derived and separately averaged over the fast rotational dynamics te...
متن کاملThe Spring Nucleus: A Microkernel for Objects
The Spring system is a distributed operating system that supports a distributed, object-oriented application framework. Each individual Spring system is based around a microkernel known as the nucleus, which is structured to support fast cross-address-space object invocations. This paper discusses the deign rationale for the nucleus’ IPC facilities and how they fit into the overall Spring progr...
