The relationship between Centaur activity and ring formation
Introduction: Centaurs are small bodies whose orbits lie between those of Jupiter and Neptune (Gehrels, 1999). They are thought to be transition objects that originate in the Kuiper belt and occupy the cis-Neptunian region before potentially becoming Jupiter-family or other short-period comets …

Centaur shapes and the origin of bilobate Jupiter-family comets
… is that JFC progenitors become bilobate in the Centaur region, where sublimation of volatiles from object surfaces may spin objects up beyond a critical limit and disrupt them. We examine models of rotational body stresses to learn about this disruption. We also present new observations of four …

Doing History with Monsters: the Sphinx, Chimera, and Centaur in Archaic and Classical Greece
… third chapter explores the development of the Centaur into a political thought experiment about what makes for "bad" poleis, especially by examining the bifurcated paradigm of Centaurs into normally hostile, but occasionally sympathetic. Together, these three case studies demonstrate how myths …

An Investigation to Advance the Technology Readiness Level of the Centaur Derived On-orbit Propellant Storage and Transfer System
… Launch Alliance (ULA), to advance an innovative Centaur-based on-orbit propellant storage and transfer system that takes advantage of rotational settling to simplify Fluid Management (FM), specifically enabling settled fluid transfer between two tanks and settled pressure control. This research …

Sustainable methodology of conserving historic military vehicles.
… on samples collected fr om the M10, Sherman, Centaur and Tiger 1 to obtain material compositions and to identify nearest standards . A bench mark of material loss due to corrosion so far, has been achieved in the M10, Sherman, Centaur, BT – R 60 and King Tiger t h rough ultrasonic c orrosion …

Sublimative torques as the origin of bilobate comets
… on a comet during its migration through the Centaur region spin the nucleus up to disruption, after which it may reform in a bilobate shape. We find that JFCs smaller than approximately 100 kilometers in radius should experience enough torque from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide …

Transgressive figures: Monsters and monstrosity in Flavian epic
… around representations of Hippomedon as a Centaur. As with other discernments of Epicurean hints in mythological epic I assess this as an exploration of the consequences of placing these elements in the text. By using a Centaur for this examination, Statius reveals how monsters are often …

William Butler Yeats and Edmund Dulac; a correspondence: 1916-1938
… Salkeld’s memoir of the composition of the "Centaur" poem, Yeats’s account of the incident with Margot Collis at Barcelona, Dulac’s essay, Music and Poetry, his lecture on symbolism, and his account of the visit he and Yeats paid to the occultist, David Calder Wilson. Other letters in the …

Émile-Antoine Bourdelle and the Midi: French sculpture and regional identity at the turn of the twentieth century
… the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées (1913) and Dying Centaur (1914). The sculptures represent a high point of Bourdelle’s classicism, but the artist’s lectures and personal statements also reveal the influence that southern vernacular architecture had on his design for the theater. Bourdelle’s …

Revealing Refractory Materials on Trans-Neptunian Objects and Centaurs via Reflectance Spectroscopy
… observations of Trans-Neptunian Objects and centaurs obtained over four observing runs at the ESOVery Large Telescope. The reflectance spectra of these minor planets were investigated to determine whether silicates and refractory organics, which are predicted to be present on their surfaces, …

Constraints on the surface composition of Trojan asteroidsfrom near infrared (0.8-4.0 μm) spectroscopy and spectral modeling
… as seen on main-belt asteroids and several Centaur and Kuiper Belt objects. These data are combined with previously published data to construct spectra covering the visible and near-IR (0.3-4.0 μm) for as many objects as possible. The composite spectra are analyzed quantitatively using the …

An amazon in Athens : gendered correlation and political association in Sophocles’ "Trachiniae"

The Philosophically Educated Teacher as a Traveler

Astrometric and Photometric Data Fusion in Machine Learning-Based Characterization of Resident Space Objects
… This object, which turned out to be the Centaur upper stage of the Surveyor 2 mission launched in 1966, was temporarily recaptured by the Earth out of heliocentric orbit. After two close fly-bys of the Earth, it was kicked back into heliocentric orbit by an encounter with the Moon. With a …
