1983年发现的彗星Phaethon是Geminid流星雨的来源,由于加热的硫化铁矿物,该流星雨呈现出独特的气体排放循环。 1983-discovered comet Phaethon is the source of the Geminid meteor shower, exhibiting unique gas emission cycles due to heated iron sulfide minerals.
Phaethon,1983年发现的一颗“岩石彗星”,是Geminid流星雨的来源。 Phaethon, a "rock comet" discovered in 1983, is the source of the Geminid meteor shower. 它表现出像彗星一样的行为 排放气体而不释放尘埃 令人费解的研究人员 It exhibits comet-like behavior by emitting gases without releasing dust, puzzling researchers. 一项研究表明,加热的硫化铁矿物分解成二氧化硫等气体,在表层下积聚。 A study suggests that heated iron sulfide minerals break down into gases like sulfur dioxide, which accumulate beneath its surface. 这种气体排放循环随着Phaethon的轮换而重复。 This gas emission cycle repeats with Phaethon's rotation. 调查结果将告知日本航天局即将进行的 " 命运+ " 号飞行任务,以进一步调查这一独特的物体。 Findings will inform the Japanese Space Agency's upcoming Destiny+ mission to further investigate this unique object.
