Resolving Sub-Surface Ice Pebbles in Cometary Simulants using THz Time-Domain Spectroscopy

Planetary formation theories aim to explain how planets form from the proto-planetary disk through processes such as classical hierarchical growth or pebble accretion. Comets are considered primitive remnants of this early phase, bodies that never coalesced into planets and now r...

Complete characterization of anisotropic geodesics in the Euclidean space

Abstract We provide a characterization of absolutely continuous paths that minimize the anisotropic F –length between two points, where F is a lower semi–continuous, 1–homogeneous positive function defined on $${\mathbb {R}^{n}}$$ R n . The characterization is achieved by establi...
