AIDA DART asteroid deflection test: Planetary defense and science objectives
A. F. Cheng,Andrew S. Rivkin,Patrick Michel,Justin A. Atchison,Olivier S. Barnouin,Lance A. M. Benner,Nancy L. Chabot,Carolyn M. Ernst,Eugene G. Fahnestock,Michael Kueppers,Petr Pravec,Emma S.G. Rainey,Derek C. Richardson,Angela Stickle,Cristina A. Thomas +14 more
TL;DR: The Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission is an international cooperation between NASA and ESA as discussed by the authors, which aims to demonstrate the kinetic impact technique on a potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid and to measure and characterize the deflection caused by the impact.

Zhu Mao,Matt M. Armentrout,Emma S.G. Rainey,Craig E. Manning,Przemyslaw Dera,Vitali B. Prakapenka,Abby Kavner +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase stability of dolomite at high pressures and temperatures is evaluated using X-ray diffraction experiments in the diamond anvil cell, showing that Ca{sub 0.988}Mg{sub 2.918}Fe{sub 1.078}Mn{ sub 0.016}(CO{sub 3}){sub 2} dolmite transforms to dolombite-II at approximately 17 GPa and 300 K and then upon laser-heating transforms to a new monoclinic phase (
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling thermal chaos in the mantle by positive feedback from radiative thermal conductivity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have carried out two-dimensional, time-dependent calculations for variable thermal conductivity but constant viscosity in an aspect-ratio 6 box for surface Rayleigh numbers between 10 6 and 5 × 10 6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic susceptibility anisotropy: A new petrofabric tool in migmatites
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) data from 217 specimens of migmatites of the Superior Province in Minnesota with the aim of investigating its potential as a petrofabric tool is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The thermal conductivity of Earth's lower mantle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the thermal conductivity of the Earth's lower mantle anchored on first-principles calculations of lattice thermal conductivities of MgSiO3 perovskite.
