Design for a Europa Subsurface Explorer Mission with a Telescopic Subsurface Vehicle

Leave a Comment / Astronomy, Engineering, Space / By

Abstract Europa, one of Jupiter’s four large Galilean moons, is a target of prime importance for exploration. This is due to the likely presence of a global subsurface liquid water ocean beneath a water ice crust, raising the possibility that Europa could support simple life. Future mission concepts include a lander deploying a probe to …

The Effectiveness of “Pre-computed Vector Space and Interpolation” Method on the Computing Time for an n-body Simulation

Leave a Comment / Astronomy, Astrophysics, Physics / By

Abstract In the field of physics and astronomy, -body simulations are widely used tools to simulate particles under the influence of gravitational forces, and they are generally made using an algorithm that is almost a brute-force approach, as it computes all pairwise gravitational forces by solving for computational differential equation solutions using algorithms like the …

A Prison for Light: A History and Summary of the Black Hole

Leave a Comment / Astronomy, Physics / By

  Abstract This paper will look at the nature of the black hole, how it was discovered, how they are classified, how it creates problems with conventionally accepted physics like general relativity, why black holes are hard to study, and what Stephen Hawking’s Black Hole Information Paradox is. In the first section of the paper, …
