Asteroids for gravitational-wave detection
MA Fedderke, PW Graham, S Rajendran - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
A major challenge for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the μ Hz band is engineering a
test mass (TM) with sufficiently low acceleration noise. We propose a GW detection concept …

Dynamical evidence for Phobos and Deimos as remnants of a disrupted common progenitor
The origin of the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, remains elusive. While the
morphology and their cratered surfaces suggest an asteroidal origin,–, capture has been …

An ongoing satellite–ring cycle of Mars and the origins of Phobos and Deimos
Abstract The Martian moons Phobos and Deimos may have accreted from a ring of impact
debris, but explaining their origin from a single giant impact has proven difficult. One clue …

Surface refreshing of Martian moon Phobos by orbital eccentricity-driven grain motion
The surface of the Martian moon Phobos exhibits two distinct geologic units, red and blue,
characterized by their spectral slopes. The provenance of these units is uncertain yet crucial …
