Sentences with phrase «dust distribution»

The pattern of dust distribution around a host star also can tell astronomers something about the potential planets in a star system.

Other stars had different dust distributions: nothing far away or very close, but huge amounts of bright, warm dust in their habitable zones.

The latter warm dust distribution implies that there are significant star - formation activities in the entire bar filled with molecular clouds.

When Philae lands, its first task will be snapping a 360 - degree panorama of the surface, along with measurements of the gas pressure and dust distribution at the landing site.

One of the criticisms of BICEP2 is that the researchers factored in summary data about dust distributions obtained from a Planck slide that was shown at a conference a year ago.

At ~ 145 pc, 2MASS J16042165 - 2130284 (J1604) is a 5 - 12 Myr old transitional disk with different gap sizes in the mm - and $ \ mu $ m - sized dust distributions (outer edges at ~ 79 and at ~ 63 au, respectively).

New satellite observations from POLDER, MODIS and MISR will likely provide greater insights into dust distributions because of increased spectral, spatial and temporal resolution [Barnaba and Gobbi, 2004; Ginoux and Torres, 2003; Kaufman et al., 2004].

Future observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array in Chile should produce very detailed maps of the dust distribution around the star — and better predictions of when the fireworks might begin.

«The dust distribution is a telltale sign of how dynamically interactive the inner system containing the ring is,» said Glenn Schneider of the University of Arizona, Tucson, who used Hubble's Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) to probe and map the small dust particles in the outer reaches of the HR 4796A system, a survey that only Hubble's sensitivity can accomplish.

We calculate the surface forcing by soil dust aerosols and its global sensitivity by varying aspects of the dust distribution that are poorly constrained by observations.

You can see that in the 1989 - 1991 winter period, the dust distribution is shifted southwards, as noted in the above paper, so winter dust measurements in the Barbados are lower than in Cayenne, French Guinea:
