The large trans-Neptunian object 2002 TC302 from combined stellar occultation, photometry, and astrometry data

Context. Deriving physical properties of trans-Neptunian objects is important for the understanding of our Solar System. This requires observational efforts and the development of techniques suitable for these studies. Aims. Our aim is to characterize the large trans-Neptunian object (TNO) 2002 TC302. Methods. Stellar occultations offer unique opportunities to determine key physical properties of TNOs. On 28 January 2018, 2002 TC302 occulted a mv ~ 15.3 star with designation 593-005847 in the UCAC4 stellar catalog, corresponding to Gaia source 130957813463146112. Twelve positive occultation chords were obtained from Italy, France, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Also, four negative detections were obtained near the north and south limbs. This represents the best observed stellar occultation by a TNO other than Pluto in terms of the number of chords published thus far. From the 12 chords, an accurate elliptical fit to the instantaneous projection of the body can be obtained that is compatible with the near misses. Results. The resulting ellipse has major and minor axes of 543 ± 18 km and 460 ± 11 km, respectively, with a position angle of 3 ± 1 degrees for the minor axis. This information, combined with rotational light curves obtained with the 1.5 m telescope at Sierra Nevada Observatory and the 1.23 m telescope at Calar Alto observatory, allows us to derive possible three-dimensional shapes and density estimations for the body based on hydrostatic equilibrium assumptions. The effective diameter in equivalent area is around 84 km smaller than the radiometrically derived diameter using thermal data from Herschel and Spitzer Space Telescopes. This might indicate the existence of an unresolved satellite of up to ~300 km in diameter, which is required to account for all the thermal flux, although the occultation and thermal diameters are compatible within their error bars given the considerable uncertainty of the thermal results. The existence of a potential satellite also appears to be consistent with other ground-based data presented here. From the effective occultation diameter combined with absolute magnitude measurements we derive a geometric albedo of 0.147 ± 0.005, which would be somewhat smaller if 2002 TC302 has a satellite. The best occultation light curves do not show any signs of ring features or any signatures of a global atmosphere.Funding from Spanish projects AYA2014-56637-C2-1-P, AYA2017-89637-R, from FEDER, and Proyecto de Excelencia de la Junta de Andalucía 2012-FQM1776 is acknowledged.

The size, shape, density and ring of the dwarf planet Haumea from a stellar occultation

Haumea—one of the four known trans-Neptunian dwarf planets—is a very elongated and rapidly rotating body1, 2, 3. In contrast to other dwarf planets4, 5, 6, its size, shape, albedo and density are not well constrained. The Centaur Chariklo was the first body other than a giant planet known to have a ring system7, and the Centaur Chiron was later found to possess something similar to Chariklo’s rings8, 9. Here we report observations from multiple Earth-based observatories of Haumea passing in front of a distant star (a multi-chord stellar occultation). Secondary events observed around the main body of Haumea are consistent with the presence of a ring with an opacity of 0.5, width of 70 kilometres and radius of about 2,287 kilometres. The ring is coplanar with both Haumea’s equator and the orbit of its satellite Hi’iaka. The radius of the ring places it close to the 3:1 mean-motion resonance with Haumea’s spin period—that is, Haumea rotates three times on its axis in the time that a ring particle completes one revolution. The occultation by the main body provides an instantaneous elliptical projected shape with axes of about 1,704 kilometres and 1,138 kilometres. Combined with rotational light curves, the occultation constrains the three-dimensional orientation of Haumea and its triaxial shape, which is inconsistent with a homogeneous body in hydrostatic equilibrium. Haumea’s largest axis is at least 2,322 kilometres, larger than previously thought, implying an upper limit for its density of 1,885 kilograms per cubic metre and a geometric albedo of 0.51, both smaller than previous estimates1, 10, 11. In addition, this estimate of the density of Haumea is closer to that of Pluto than are previous estimates, in line with expectations. No global nitrogen- or methane-dominated atmosphere was detected.J.L.O. acknowledges funding from Spanish and Andalusian grants MINECO AYA-2014-56637-C2-1-P and J.

Analiza rozrostu ziarna austenitu w wybranej niskostopowej stali z borem o podwyższonej odporności na zużycie ścierne

Today low-alloy steels with boron achieve high resistance to abrasive wear and high strength. These features are obtained by using advanced technology of manufacturing. This makes boron steels increasingly popular and their application more diverse. Application of these steels can extend the lifetime of very expensive machine construction in many industries such as mining, the automotive, and agriculture industries. An interesting subgroup of these materials is steel with boron intended for heat treatment. These steels are supplied by the manufacturer after cold or hot rolling so that it is possible for them to be heat treated in a suitable manner by the purchaser for its specific application. Very important factor that determines the mechanical properties of final product is austenite grain growth occurring during hot working process such us quenching or hot rolling. Investigation of the effect of heating temperature and holding time on the austenite grain size is necessary to understand the growth behavior under different conditions. This article presents the result of investigation of austenite grain growth in selected low-allow boron steel with high resistance to abrasive wear and attempts to describe the influence of chemical composition on this process.Obecnie stale z dodatkiem boru osiągają dużą odporność na zużycie ścierne w połączeniu z wysokimi parametrami wytrzymałościowymi. Te właściwości uzyskiwane są drogą zaawansowanej technologii wytwarzania. To sprawia, że stale z borem zyskują coraz większą popularność, a ich zastosowanie jest coraz szersze. Zastosowanie tego typu stali może wydłużyć trwałość często drogich maszyn przemysłu górniczego, motoryzacyjnego, czy rolniczego. Interesującą podgrupę tych materiałów stanowią stale z dodatkiem boru przeznaczone do obróbki cieplnej. Producenci dostarczają je w stanie po walcowaniu na gorąco do ewentualnie przeprowadzenia obróbki cieplnej przez kupującego odpowiedniej do konkretnego zastosowania. Ważnym czynnikiem, który istotnie wpływa na właściwości mechaniczne gotowego wyrobu, jest wielkość ziarna austenitu podczas przeprowadzania procesów obróbki cieplnej lub cieplno-plastycznej takich jak hartowanie, czy walcowanie na gorąco. A zatem określenie wpływu temperatury i czasu austenityzowania na wielkość ziarna austenitu jest bardzo istotne. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań rozrostu ziarna austenitu przy różnych temperaturach i czasach austenityzowania w wybranej niskostopowej stali z borem o podwyższonej odporności na ścieranie oraz podjęto próbę opisania wpływu składu chemicznego na ten proces

Materials problem in the strategy of operability and reliability of the machines for surface mining

W artykule zawarto retrospektywne i aktualne informacje dotyczące materiałów stosowanych na konstrukcje koparek węgla brunatnego. Jako główne problemy wymieniono procesy ich szybkiego zużywania, degradację materiałową i odporność na ścieranie. Wskazano na racjonalne ograniczenie ilości gatunków stosowanych materiałów. Było to możliwe w wyniku wszechstronnej analizy warunków pracy wyselekcjonowanych zespołów oraz dostosowanych do tych warunków procesów obróbki cieplnej. Wobec szerokiego stosowania stali niskostopowych wskazano na malejącą rolę oceny stopnia degradacji materiałów. W stosunku do elementów pracujących w warunkach zużywania ściernego sformułowano tezę o potrzebie uproszczenia składów chemicznych napoin a skoncentrowania się na precyzyjnie i powtarzalnie realizowanych technologiach napawania. Nową perspektywę w podwyższeniu trwałości zespołów tych maszyn narażonych na zużywanie ścierne i obciążenia dynamiczne stanowią niskostopowe stale martenzytyczne.The article contains retrospective and current information concerning materials applied in the structures of brown coal excavators. As the main problems discussed here are their fast wear processes, material degradation and abrasion resistance. Rational limitation of the number of applied material grades has been pointed out. It was possible as a result of the thorough and versatile analysis of operating conditions of the selected assemblies, as well as the heat treatment processes readjusted to those conditions. In the face of the wide low-alloy steels application the diminishing role of evaluation of the material degradation degree was indicated. In relation to parts operating in the abrasion wear conditions a thesis on the need of simplifying chemical composition of the padding welds has been formulated, with a focus on precisely and recurrently executed padding technologies. The new perspective in the life improvement of the machine assemblies exposed to the abrasive wear and dynamic loads is being constituted by the low-alloy martensitic steels
