Impact-Generated Dust Clouds Surrounding the Galilean Moons
Tenuous dust clouds of Jupiter’s Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto have been detected with the in-situ dust detector on board the Galileo spacecraft. The majority of the dust particles have been sensed at altitudes below five radii of these lunar-sized satellites. We identify the particles in the dust clouds surrounding the moons by their impact direction, impact velocity, and ma...
متن کاملThe Galilean Moons and the Nature of their Magnetic Fields
The Galileo spacecraft’s magnetometer data allowed for an understanding of the Galilean satellites’ internal magnetic fields. My objective was to learn the nature of these fields and see if they are consistent with geological and observational data by reviewing all relevant papers and seeking parallels or inconsistencies between them. The results show that Europa and Callisto have internal brin...
متن کاملDust at the Martian moons and in the circummartian space
The paper provides the current understanding of the dust particle dynamics near the surface and in the circummatrian space of the Martian moons based on existing models developed for airless and nonmagnetized bodies. In particular we discuss the response of the regolith of the Martian moons to exposure to radiation, the dynamics of charged dust on their surfaces, their plasma environments, the ...
متن کاملDust en-route to Jupiter and the Galilean satellites
Spacecraft investigations during the last ten years have vastly improved our knowledge about dust in the Jovian system. All Galilean satellites, and probably all smaller satellites as well, are sources of dust in the Jovian system. In-situ measurements with the dust detectors on board the Ulysses and Galileo spacecraft have for the first time demonstrated the electromagnetic interaction of char...
متن کاملAutomatic Generated Tag Clouds
This paper proposes a formal model for discussing the construction of tag clouds, applicable both to human beings and computer programs. From this model we also to propose a methodology for automatic generation of tag clouds, which aim to achieve results similar to the ones produced by human beings. We also present a specific implementation and describe some of our initial results. 1. Introduct...
