Towards the isotopic measurement of solar wind carbon in the Genesis silicon target

We report a current stage of the carbon isotope measurements in the Genesis Si target

Stardust microcrater residue compositional groups

Compositional groups are defined in residue from Stardust craters (1-9 Dc) by qualitative EDS. These compositional groups are being further studied by a FIB-SEM technique to determine representative residue compositions

Harnack inequality for fractional sub-Laplacians in Carnot groups

In this paper we prove an invariant Harnack inequality on Carnot-Carath\'eodory balls for fractional powers of sub-Laplacians in Carnot groups. The proof relies on an "abstract" formulation of a technique recently introduced by Caffarelli and Silvestre. In addition, we write explicitly the Poisson kernel for a class of degenerate subelliptic equations in product-type Carnot groups

Harnack inequality and regularity for degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations

We prove Harnack inequality and local regularity results for weak solutions of a quasilinear degenerate equation in divergence form under natural growth conditions. The degeneracy is given by a suitable power of a strong $A_\infty$ weight. Regularity results are achieved under minimal assumptions on the coefficients and, as an application, we prove $C^{1,\alpha}$ local estimates for solutions of a degenerate equation in non divergence form

Application of semiconductor industry cleaning technologies for Genesis sample collectors

Genesis array collectors recovered after the sub-nominal landing have been exposed to particulate and molecular contamination. In this study, semiconductor industry based cleaning technologies are being evaluated for their efficacy in contaminant removal
