Here were report on a laboratory study aiming to reproduce specificities of near-Earth Asteroid. We study how the elevated surface temperature, their surface roughness (rock or regolith), as well as observation geometry can affect the absorption features detected on asteroids. For that purpose, we selected a recent carbonaceous chondrite fall, the Mukundpura CM2 chondrite which fell in India in June 2017. Bidirectional reflectance spectroscopy was performed to analyze the effect of the geometrical configuration (incidence, emergence and azimuth angle) on the measurement. Our results show that reflectance spectra obtained under warm environment (NEA-like) tends to show shallower absorption bands compared to low-temperature conditions (MBA-like), but still detectable in our experiments under laboratory timescales. Irreversible alteration of the sample because of the warm environment (from room temperature to 250{deg}C) has been detected as an increase of the spectral slope and a decrease of the band depths (at 0.7{mu}m, 0.9{mu}m and 2.7{mu}m). Comparing the meteoritic chip and the powdered sample, we found that surface texture strongly affects the shape of the reflectance spectra of meteorites and thus of asteroids, where a dust-covered surface presents deeper absorption features. We found that all spectral parameters, such as the reflectance value, spectral slope and possible absorption bands are affected by the geometry of measurement. We observed the disappearance of the 0.7 {mu}m absorption feature at phase angle larger than 120{deg}, but the 3{mu}m band remains detectable on all measured spectra.

We present the analysis of 12 high-resolution galactic rotation curves from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) in the context of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). These rotation curves were selected to be the most reliable for mass modelling, and they are the highest quality rotation curves currently available for a sample of galaxies spanning a wide range of luminosities. We fit the rotation curves with the simple and standard interpolating functions of MOND, and we find that the simple function yields better results. We also redetermine the value of a0, and find a median value very close to the one determined in previous studies, a0 = (1.22 +- 0.33) x 10^{-8} cm/s^2. Leaving the distance as a free parameter within the uncertainty of its best independently determined value leads to excellent quality fits for 75% of the sample. Among the three exceptions, two are also known to give relatively poor fits also in Newtonian dynamics plus dark matter. The remaining case (NGC 3198), presents some tension between the observations and the MOND fit, which might however be explained by the presence of non-circular motions, by a small distance, or by a value of a0 at the lower end of our best-fit interval, 0.9 x 10^{-8} cm/s^2. The best-fit stellar M/L ratios are generally in remarkable agreement with the predictions of stellar population synthesis models. We also show that the narrow range of gravitational accelerations found to be generated by dark matter in galaxies is consistent with the narrow range of additional gravity predicted by MOND.

This is an opinion-piece based on a talk given at the Summer 2017 Serendipities in the Solar System (Ip-Fest) meeting in Taiwan. I begin with an overview of the new solar system, then discuss modelling attempts, then the distribution of optical color s as a proxy for the distribution of compositions, and I end with remarks about Wing Ip.
Brown dwarfs emit bursts of Halpha, white light flares, and show radio flares and quiescent radio emission. They are suggested to form Aurorae, similar to planets in the solar system but much more energetic. All these processes require a source gas w ith an appropriate degree of ionisation which, so far, is mostly postulated to be sufficient. We aim to demonstrate that the galactic environment influences atmospheric ionisation, and that it hence amplifies or enables the magnetic coupling of the atmospheres of ultra-cool objects, like brown dwarfs and free-floating planets. We consider the effect of photoionisation by Lyman continuum radiation in three different environments: the InterStellar Radiation Field (ISRF), O and B stars in star forming regions, and also for white dwarf companions in binary systems. We apply our Monte Carlo radiation transfer code to investigate the effect of Lyman continuum photoionisation for prescribed atmosphere structures for very low-mass objects. The external radiation environment plays an important role for the atmospheric ionisation of very low-mass, ultra-cool objects. Lyman continuum irradiation greatly increases the level of ionisation in the uppermost atmospheric regions. Our results suggest that a shell of an almost fully ionised atmospheric gas emerges for brown dwarfs in star forming regions and brown dwarfs in white dwarf binary systems. As a consequence, brown dwarf atmospheres can be magnetically coupled which is the presumption for chromospheric heating to occur and for Aurorae to emerge. First tests for assumed chromosphere-like temperature values suggest that the resulting free-free X-ray luminosities are comparable with those observed from non-accreting brown dwarfs in star forming regions.
Path-integral ab initio molecular dynamics (PI-AIMD) calculations have been employed to probe the nature of chloride ion solvation in aqueous solution. Nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) are shown to weaken hydrogen bonding between the chloride anion and the solvation shell of water molecules. As a consequence, the disruptive effect of the anion on the solvent water structure is significantly reduced compared to what is found in the absence of NQEs. The chloride hydration structure obtained from PI-AIMD agrees well with information extracted from neutron scattering data. Inparticular, the observed satellite peak in the hydrogen-chloride-hydrogen triple angular distribution serves as a clear signature of NQEs. The present results suggest that NQEs are likely to play acrucial role in determining the structure of saline solutions.
This paper enriches the list of properties of the congruence sequences starting from the universal relation and successively performing the operations of lower $t$ and lower $k$. Three classes of completely regular semigroups, namely semigroups for w hich $ker{sigma}$ is a cryptogroup, semigroups for which $ker{ u}$ is a cryptogroup and semigroups for which $kappa$ is over rectangular bands, are studied. $((omega_t)_k)_t$, $((mathcal{D}_t)_k)_t$ and $((omega_k)_t)_k$ are found to be the least congruences on $S$ such that the quotient semigroups are semigroups for which $ker{sigma}$ is a cryptogroup, $ker{ u}$ is a cryptogroup and $kappa$ is over rectangular bands, respectively. The results obtained present a response to three problems in Petrich and Reillys textbook textquotelefttextquoteleft Completely Regular Semigroupstextquoterighttextquoteright.
