Scale-Dependent Measurements of Meteorite Strength and the Implications for Asteroid Fragmentation (LPI Seminar: Desiree Cotto Figueroa, University of Puerto Rico),
Lecture Hall
Measuring the strengths of asteroidal materials is important for developing mitigation strategies for potential Earth impactors and for understanding properties of in situ materials on asteroids during human and robotic exploration. Studies of asteroid disruption and fragmentation have typically used the strengths determined from terrestrial analog materials, although questions have been raised regarding the suitability of these materials. The few published measurements of meteorite strength are typically significantly greater than those estimated from the stratospheric breakup of meter-sized meteoroids. Given the paucity of relevant strength data, the scale-varying strength properties of meteoritic and asteroidal materials are poorly constrained. Based on our uniaxial failure studies of centimeter-sized cubes of a carbonaceous and ordinary chondrite, we develop the first Weibull failure distribution analysis of meteorites. This Weibull distribution projected to meter scales, overlaps the strengths determined from asteroidal airbursts and can be used to predict properties of to the 100 m scale. In addition, our analysis shows that meter-scale boulders on asteroids are significantly weaker than small pieces of meteorites, while large meteorites surviving on Earth are selected by attrition. Further, the common use of terrestrial analog materials to predict scale-dependent strength properties significantly overestimates the strength of meter-sized asteroidal materials and therefore is unlikely well suited for the modeling of asteroid disruption and fragmentation. Given the strength scale-dependence determined for carbonaceous and ordinary chondrite meteorites, our results suggest that boulders of similar composition on asteroids will have compressive strengths significantly less than typical terrestrial rocks

7th Joint Workshop on High pressure, Planetary and Plasma Physics (HP4),
Berlin, Germany
The aim of the upcoming workshop is to continue the discussion of scientific questions with relevance for extreme planetary environments in terms of high pressure (HP) and high temperature (HT). The conditions prevalent in the deep interiors and atmospheric envelopes of solar system planets, their satellites as well as massive solid and gas giant extrasolar planets, respectively, and are not fully accessible by conventional experimental and theoretical methods. New and enabling techniques to be used in the HP/HT regime are based on the combination of intense pulsed x-ray sources with pulsed sample excitation, in particular but not exclusively related to high energy optical lasers. Simultaneously, ab initio simulations for matter under extreme conditions provide a more and more predictive data set for planetary interiors in this HP/HT regime.

LPI Seminar: Lakes, Rivers, and Dry Landscapes in Gale Crater, Mars: The Importance of Understanding Grain Size Variations (Frances Rivera-Hernandez, Dartmouth College),
Lecture Hall
Reconstructing ancient depositional environments is key to accomplishing the main goal of the Mars Science Laboratory mission: to characterize habitable environments of early Mars from the sedimentary record in Gale crater with the Curiosity rover. Accurate measurement of the size and distribution of grains in sedimentary rocks is crucial for interpreting depositional environment. This is a challenging task on Mars using rover images. However, grain size can be inferred from ChemCam Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy data using the Gini Index Mean Score (GIMS), a statistical measure of compositional variability.
> Results using the GIMS suggest that rocks in Gale crater from the ~5.2 m thick Yellowknife Bay formation consist of mudstones overlain by poorly sorted sandstones, demonstrating that flow characteristics shifted abruptly from a low-energy lake to a high energy alluvial environment. In contrast, GIMS results suggest that the ~300-m thick Murray formation consists primarily of mudstones with intervals of fine to coarse sandstones. While the interstratified sandstones indicate rapid fluid flow either in aeolian or fluvial environments, the persistence of mudstones suggest that lakes may have been sustained in Gale crater for tens of thousands to millions of years. Early Mars must have had climatic conditions that could have sustained the diversity of depositional environments preserved in Gale Crater.

LPI Seminar: Juno’s Exploration of the Giant Magnetosphere of Jupiter (Frances Bagenal, University of Colorado),
Lecture Hall
Jupiter is a planet of superlatives: the most massive planet in the solar system, rotates the fastest, has the strongest magnetic field, and has the most massive satellite system of any planet. These unique properties lead to volcanoes on Io and a population of energetic plasma trapped in the magnetic field that provides a physical link between the satellites, particularly Io, and the planet Jupiter. There are strong differences between the magnetospheres of Earth and Jupiter but there are also underlying basic physical principles that all magnetospheres share in common. This presentation shows how measurements to be made by NASA’s Juno mission addresses these issues. And, if there is time and interest, I will discuss some interesting demographical studies of the physical sciences.

Large Surveys with Small Telescopes: Past, Present, and Future,
Bamberg, Germany
Large wide-field surveys have been carried out since more than a century, starting with the Carte du Ciel in the late nineteenth century, and have been recorded on photographic plates. With the advent of CCD detectors, monitoring the sky became even more intense. Wide-field surveys are carried out with small telescopes and cameras. Already with the Henry Draper Memorial project, spectroscopy became an important scientific technique for such surveys, early-on with objective prisms and latey with multi-fiber instruments. Most ongoing surveys are dedicated to specific scientific aims, such as search for MACHOS, exoplanet transits, or nearby asteroids, but provide data sets for a wide range of astrophysics research such as binary light curves, stellar pulsations, and eruptions to name a few. Many future surveys will also be based on small telescopes, both on ground and in space. The information stored in photographic plates distributed around the globe became accessible only recently, by digitization, calibration, and integration into data bases such as DASCH or APPLAUSE. Because a huge amount of data is piling up in the data bases of the different projects, an important task is to combine the information and harvest it in an optimum way. To this end, the meeting aims to bring together researchers working on the photographic heritage, with those involved in ongoing and future digital surveys. Combing data sets requires in-depth knowledge of calibration. Studying the objects requires the sophisticated tools of astroinformatics (big data, deep learning), which shall be addressed in the conference’ program.

Stellar properties and behavior play a key role in addressing many pressing questions in exoplanet science, from breaking the stellar activity barrier for radial velocity planets to understanding how stellar environments affect planet formation and habitability. TESS and Gaia are improving stellar characterization by orders of magnitude in precision and sample size. Addressing both observations and theory, the conference will focus on recent advances in translating this new knowledge of stars into detecting and characterizing exoplanets and understanding their formation, evolution, and habitability. Members of the stellar community will share the latest results in characterizing and understanding stars, and members of the planetary community will share applications of planet-star connections and emphasize what stellar knowledge is most important in addressing open questions in exoplanet science.
