Surface thermoelastic erosion of atmosphereless solar system bodies under bombardment by multicharge cosmic ray ions

Abstract: The mechanism of ion-stimulated erosion of atmosphereless solar system bodies is suggested and investigated. A theoretical model for the brittle surface erosion resulting under the effect of multicharge ion cosmic rays is analyzed. It is shown that the thermoelastic waves originated in the energetic track of a very heavy ion can result in the near-surface stresses exceeding the dynamic tensile strength of the surface material for any atmosphereless solar system body. The thermoelastic wave surface arrival yiel… Show more

“…For a more in-depth study of the surface track-breaking mechanism let us define the geometrical and kinematic adjectives of an ASSB fragment shattered in the interaction of a cosmic ray ion with the surface material, employing the model from Kalinichenko et al (1996). Consider the interaction of an axial-symmetrical elastic wave excited in the ion track with an ASSB-space plane boundary.…”

“…The positive half-wave of a thermoelastic impulse contributes most to the ASSB surface ion-enhanced erosion mechanism. Therefore, as in Kalinichenko et al (1996), from now on we will use the characteristics of the model-track generated impulse. The model track, or the so-called energetic track is a uniformly heated cylindrical region with radius R c and containing the bulk of the energy losses of a multicharged ion penetrating under the surface.…”

“…A variety of physical processes has been investigated as the potential drivers of the cometary dust release. Micrometeorite bombardment of the surface (Chapman 2004), electrostatic charging of the nucleus (Mendis et al 1981;Nordheim et al 2015), and the mechanism of ion-stimulated erosion due to an interaction of cometary nuclei with the solar wind (Kalinichenko et al 1996) have been examined. However, the lifting force that arises as a result of nearsurface ice sublimation is considered as the most common lifting force since the article of Whipple.…”
