论文摘要
我们提出闪耀,这是一种空间模拟器,可用于在太阳附近复制热环境,直至Heliepentric距离r〜0.06 au。该系统由三个主要部分组成:内部设计和构造的太阳能模拟器,真空室以及监视实验程序所需的探测和记录设备。我们构建该实验系统的动机是研究强烈的太阳辐射对小行星围巾距离的距离比汞轨道的半高轴时的小行星表面的影响。观察数据与近地小行星种群的近期轨道和尺寸频率模型之间的比较表明,小行星在接近太阳时被超曲局部破坏。尽管当前模型对破坏机制不可知,但开发了Shines来研究负责的机制或机制。但是,该系统可用于其他需要研究高太阳辐射对其他天然物体或人造物体的影响的应用。
We present SHINeS, a space simulator which can be used to replicate the thermal environment in the immediate neighborhood of the Sun down to a heliocentric distance r~0.06 au. The system consists of three main parts: the solar simulator which was designed and constructed in-house, a vacuum chamber, and the probing and recording equipment needed to monitor the experimental procedures. Our motivation for building this experimental system was to study the effect of intense solar radiation on the surfaces of asteroids when their perihelion distances become smaller than the semi-major axis of the orbit of Mercury. Comparisons between observational data and recent orbit and size-frequency models of the population of near-Earth asteroids suggest that asteroids are super-catastrophically destroyed when they approach the Sun. Whereas the current models are agnostic about the disruption mechanism, SHINeS was developed to study the mechanism or mechanisms responsible. The system can, however, be used for other applications that need to study the effects of high solar radiation on other natural or artificial objects.
