Thermal Simulation of a Magma Ocean on Asteroid 4 Vesta
Introduction: Recent work on chronology seem to point to older ages for eucrites: which favor a magma ocean model for Vesta. [1] indicate a Pb-Pb age for the eucrite Asuka 881394 of 4.566 + 0.3 Ga. Whole rock isochrons of eucrites based on Hf-W, Al-Mg and Mn-Cr [2-4] indicate somewhat younger ages at around 4.564 Ga (or about 3.5 Myrs after CAI formation). From the perspective of thermal modeli...
متن کاملVESTATM: Nanoscale Thermal Analysis Application Note #12 Nanoscale Thermal Analysis of Medical Devices Using the VESTA
Introduction Materials property characterization is central to nearly all facets of medical device design, production, and pre or post-use testing. Material properties are routinely evaluated to meet needs in R&D & quality assurance, and to obtain regulatory approval for sale. Devices that have been used clinically or experimentally are also routinely analyzed to better understand mechanisms of...
متن کاملThe Surface of 4 Vesta: a petrologist's view
Introduction: How do HED meteorites constrain the data to be returned from 4 Vesta by the Dawn Discovery Mission? Vesta has long been equated with the " eucrite parent body " in its various iterations and the spectroscopic similarities between Vesta and HED meteorites are compelling. The assumption is made that Vesta is a fully differentiated body. In common with other terrestrial planets, the ...
متن کاملGPU Programming - Speeding Up the 3D Surface Generator VESTA
The novel “Volume-Enclosing Surface exTraction Algorith” (VESTA) generates triangular isosurfaces from computed tomography volumetric images and/or threedimensional (3D) simulation data. Here, we present various benchmarks for GPU-based code implementations of both VESTA and the current state-of-the-art Marching Cubes Algorithm (MCA). One major result of this study is that VESTA runs significan...
متن کاملLaboratory Determination of Thermal Protection System Materials Surface Catalytic Properties
Different experimental approaches to measuring catalytic reaction efficiencies on thermal protection system materials are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to the theory and application of the diffusion tube side-arm reactor technique. In this technique, reactants diffuse into a dead-end tube and are progressively removed from the gas phase by surface reactions on the walls, establishing uniq...
