Many small bodies in the solar system are believed to be rubble piles, a collection of smaller elements separated by voids. We propose a model for the structure of a self-gravitating rubble pile. Static friction prevents its elements from…
Characterizing the surface material of an asteroid is important for understanding its geology and for informing mission decisions, such as the selection of a sample site. Diurnal surface temperature amplitudes are directly related to the…
Context: Asteroids with a diameter of up to a few dozen meters may spin very fast and complete an entire rotation within a few minutes. These small and fast-rotating bodies are thought to be monolithic objects because the gravitational…
We used infrared data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment to globally map thermophysical properties of the Moon's regolith fines layer. Thermal conductivity varies from 7.4$\times$10$^{-4}$ W…
We present a non-invasive technique for measuring the thermal conductivity of fragile and sensitive materials. In the context of planet formation research, the investigation of the thermal conductivity of porous dust aggregates provide…
The construction of models for the internal constitution and the temporal evolution of large planetesimals, the parent bodies of chondrites, requires information on the heat conductivity of the complex mixture of minerals and iron metal…
The relationships between thermal conductivity and other petrophysical properties have been analysed for a borehole drilled in a Tertiary Flysch sequence. We establish equations that permit us to predict rock thermal conductivity from…
$\mathit{Context.}$ The thermal conductivity of highly porous dust aggregates is a key parameter for many subjects in planetary science; however, it is not yet fully understood. $\mathit{Aims.}$ In this study, we investigate the thermal…
The moniker rubble pile is typically applied to all solar system bodies with Diameter between 200m and 10km - where in this size range there is an abundance of evidence that nearly every object is bound primarily by self-gravity with…
Thermal conductivity of the most abundant element in the planetary core, Iron (Fe) is measured up to Earth's outer core pressure $\sim 120$ GPa. The measurements are carried out using the laser heated diamond anvil cell facility, where the…
There are several models for the effective thermal conductivity of two-phase composite materials in terms of the conductivity of the solid and the disperse material. In this paper, we generalise three models of Maxwell type (namely, the…
We compute the thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of solid hcp Fe to pressures and temperatures of Earth's core. We find significant contributions from electron-electron scattering, usually neglected at high temperatures in…
The thermal inertia of an asteroid is an indicator of the thermophysical properties of the regolith and is determined by the size of grains on the surface. Previous thermophysical modeling studies of asteroids have identified or suggested…
The thermal conductivity of porous jennite, as the major component of cement paste, and its porosity and temperature dependences are simulated by molecular dynamics methods using ClayFF force field. The porous jennite models with different…
Estimating surface properties such as porosity and grain sizes is key for planning lander missions and landing site selection on icy moons. However, spaceborne instruments do not measure the regolith properties directly: instead, they…
Porous materials provide a large surface to volume ratio, thereby providing a knob to alter fundamental properties in unprecedented ways. In thermal transport, porous nanomaterials can reduce thermal conductivity by not only enhancing…
A systematic study was performed to measure the effective thermal conductivity of ceramic particle beds, a promising heat transfer and thermal energy storage media for concentrating solar power (CSP). The thermal conductivity of the ceramic…
We explore the hypothesis that, due to small van der Waals forces between constituent grains, small rubble pile asteroids have a small but non-zero cohesive strength. The nature of this model predicts that the cohesive strength should be…
In this paper, the possibility that the moderately volatile element depletions observed in chondritic meteorites are the results of planetesimals accreting in a solar nebula that cooled from an initially hot state (temperatures > 1350 K out…
Understanding the compaction and differentiation of the planetesimals and protoplanets from the Asteroid Belt and the terrestrial planet region of the Solar System requires a reliable modeling of their internal thermal evolution. An…
