The origin of the Martian moons revisited
Rosenblatt, Pascal
The origin of the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, is still an open issue: either they are asteroids captured by Mars or they formed in situ from a circum-Mars debris disk. The capture scenario mainly relies on the remote-sensing observations of their surfaces, which suggest that the moon material is similar to outer-belt asteroid material. This …
Morphology, dynamics and plasma parameters of plumes and inter-plume regions in solar coronal holes
Llebaria, A.; Auchère, F.; Feng, L. +12 more
Coronal plumes, which extend from solar coronal holes (CH) into the high corona and—possibly—into the solar wind (SW), can now continuously be studied with modern telescopes and spectrometers on spacecraft, in addition to investigations from the ground, in particular, during total eclipses. Despite the large amount of data available on these promi…
