Kepler-51 is a small G-type star, with a slightly lower radius, mass and effective temperature than the Sun. It is a young star, less than one billion years old, and hence is highly active compared to the Sun. Around 4 to 6% of the star's surface is covered by starspots. Its EUV and X-ray fluxes are likely influencing the chemistry, dynamics ...
[1] [3] As of 2019, a group of 887 bodies – most of them are stony near-Earth asteroids with small diameters of barely 1 kilometre – have an estimated period of less than 2.2 hours. According to the Minor Planet Center , most small bodies are thought to be rubble piles – conglomerations of smaller pieces, loosely coalesced under the ...
It was initially estimated to have a much lower mass, and thus a low density of 3.3 ± 0.9 g/cm 3 and a surface gravity around 6.1 m/s 2 (62% of Earth's value). [1] This suggested a large amount of volatiles , with a 2017 study suggesting that a water ocean may comprise as much as 20% of the planet's mass, increasing the temperature at the ...
In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of one parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...
The dispersion of the proper orbital elements of the members is a few percent or less (5% for semi-major axis, 1.4° for the inclination and 0.08 for the eccentricity). [6] The diagram illustrates the orbital elements of the members of the family in relation to other TNOs .
Preliminary simulations of the Elektra system show that S/2003 (130) 1 's semi-major axis oscillates less than 1.4 km (0.87 mi) over 20 years. Near-infrared observations from December 2014 show that S/2003 (130) 1 along with S/2014 (130) 1 display a similar spectrum to Elektra, supporting the hypothesis that they are fragments from a disruptive ...
Vanth (formal designation (90482) Orcus I; provisional designation S/2005 (90482) 1) is a natural satellite or moon of the large trans-Neptunian dwarf planet Orcus.It was discovered by Michael Brown and Terry-Ann Suer using images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on 13 November 2005.
The leaves of Pachypodium bicolor are subsessile, very much stalkless and attached directly at the base of the leaf, and confined to the apices of the branchlets.The leaves can be petiole, having a stalk by which a leaf is attached to a stem, at 0 mm to 2 mm (up to 0.08 in) long; meaning they have a very short stalk to the leave, if at all.
