Recent Progress in DIB Research: Survey of PAHS and DIBS

The spectra of several neutral and ionized PAHs isolated in the gas phase at low temperature have been measured in the laboratory under experimental conditions that mimic interstellar conditions and are compared with an extensive set of astronomical spectra of reddened, early type stars [1, 2]. The comparisons of astronomical and laboratory data provide upper limits for the abundances of specific neutral PAH molecules and ions along specific lines-of-sight. Something that is not attainable from infrared observations alone. We present the characteristics of the laboratory facility (COSmIC) that was developed for this study and discuss the findings resulting from the comparison of these unique laboratory data with high resolution, high S/N ratio astronomical observations. COSmIC combines a supersonic free jet expansion with discharge plasma and high-sensitivity cavity ringdown spectroscopy and provides experimental conditions that closely mimic the interstellar conditions. The column densities of the individual neutral PAH molecules and ions probed in these surveys are derived from the comparison of these unique laboratory data with high resolution, high S/N ratio astronomical observations. The comparisons of astronomical and laboratory data lead to clear and unambiguous conclusions regarding the expected abundances for PAHs of various sizes and charge states in the interstellar environments probed in the surveys. Band profile comparisons between laboratory and astronomical spectra lead to information regarding the molecular structures and characteristics associated with the DIB carriers in the corresponding lines-of-sight. These quantitative surveys of neutral and ionized PAHs in the optical range open the way for unambiguous quantitative searches of PAHs and complex organics in a variety of interstellar and circumstellar environments.

Propellant-Less Spacecraft Formation-Flying and Maneuvering with Photonic Laser Thrusters

The present NIAC Phase II program explored an amplified photon thruster, Photonic Laser Thruster (PLT), as a means of enabling unprecedented maneuverability of small spacecraft, such as cubesats, and reducing space system SWaP for future NASA missions and other commercial and DoD space endeavors. In addition to its propellantless operation capability, PLT can provide orders of magnitude more precise controls in thrust magnitude and vector than conventional thrusters. Furthermore, PLT promises to enable innovative CONOPS (Concept of Operations) to change how some NASA missions are conceived and to represent a revolutionary departure from the "all-in-one" single-spacecraft approach, where a primary factor that dominates spacecraft design is a heavy and risk-intolerant mission-critical payload. Instead, the PLT CONOPS has evolved from a different path based on interbody dynamics via thrust and power beaming. As interbody atomic dynamics unfolds completely new classes of molecular structures that cannot be formed by solo acting atoms alone, the PLT interbody dynamics is predicted to unfold unprecedented multibody spacecraft structures. Therefore, the revolutionary path of the PLT CONOPS represents a technology push rather than a mission pull, and will enable an entirely new generation of planetary, heliospheric, and Earth-centric missions. The chief accomplishments of the present Phase II program are: 1) achievement of photon thrust up to 3.5 mN (100 times scaling up of Phase I PLT) and amplification factor up to 1,500 (15 times enhancement of Phase I PLT), 2) laboratory demonstration of propelling, slowing and stopping a 1U cubesat on an air track with PLT, 3) proof of feasibility on persistent out-of-plane formation flying with PLT in simulation studies, 4) preliminary SolidWorks designs of 1-mN class PLT, 5) establishment of SWaP for flight-ready PLT, 6) designs for proof-ofconcept missions of precision formation flying with cubesats, 7) definition of PLT-based NASA missions, such as Virtual Telescope. In sum, the present study conclusively demonstrated the potential of PLT to revolutionize future space endeavors by drastically enhancing maneuverability of spacecraft, reducing future space system SWaP by exploiting small spacecraft multi-system, and enabling innovative CONOPS.

ESO Diffuse Interstellar Bands Large Exploration Survey (EDIBLES) - Merging Observations and Laboratory Data

The Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs) are a set of ~500 absorption bands that are detected in the spectra of stars with interstellar clouds in the line of sight. DIBs are found from the NUV to the NIR in the spectra of reddened stars spanning different interstellar environments in our local, and in other galaxies. DIB carriers are a significant part of the interstellar chemical inventory. They are stable and ubiquitous in a broad variety of environments and play a unique role in interstellar physics/chemistry. It has long been realized that the solving of the DIB problem requires a strong synergy between astronomical observations, laboratory astrophysics, and astrophysical modeling of line-of-sights. PAHs are among the molecular species that have been proposed as DIB carriers. We will present an assessment of the PAH-DIB model in view of the progress and the advances that have been achieved over the past years through a series of studies involving astronomical observations of DIBs, laboratory simulation of interstellar analogs for neutrals and ionized PAHs, theoretical calculations of PAH spectra and the modelization of diffuse and translucent interstellar clouds. We will present a summary of what has been learned from these complementary studies, the constraints that can now be derived for the PAHs as DIB carriers in the context of the PAH-DIB model and how these constraints can be applied to the EDIBLES project. The spectra of several neutral and ionized PAHs isolated in the gas phase at low temperature have been measured in the laboratory under experimental conditions that mimic interstellar conditions and are compared with an extensive set of astronomical spectra of reddened, early type stars. The comparisons of astronomical and laboratory data provide upper limits for the abundances of specific neutral PAH molecules and ions along specific lines-of-sight. Something that is not attainable from infrared observations alone. We present the characteristics of the laboratory facilities, MIS and COSmIC, that have been developed for this study and discuss the findings resulting from the comparison of the laboratory data with high resolution, high S/N ratio astronomical observations. MIS stands for Matrix Isolation Spectroscopy, a well-proven technique for isolating cold molecular species in inert solid environments. COSmIC stands for Cosmic Simulation Chamber. It combines a supersonic free jet expansion with discharge plasma and high-sensitivity cavity ringdown spectroscopy and time-of-flight mass spectrometry detection tools for the generation and the detection of cold, isolated gas-phase molecules and ions under experimental conditions that closely mimic interstellar conditions. The column densities of the individual neutral PAH molecules and ions probed in these surveys are derived from the comparison of these unique laboratory data with high resolution, high S/N ratio astronomical observations. The comparisons of astronomical and laboratory data lead to clear and unambiguous conclusions regarding the expected abundances for PAHs of various sizes and charge states in the interstellar environments probed in the surveys. Band profile comparisons between laboratory and astronomical spectra lead to information regarding the molecular structures and characteristics associated with the DIB carriers in the corresponding lines-of-sight. These quantitative surveys of neutral and ionized PAHs in the optical range open the way for unambiguous quantitative searches of PAHs and complex organics in a variety of interstellar and circumstellar environments.

In-Space Recycler Technology Demonstration

In 2014, a 3D printer was installed and used successfully on the International Space Station (ISS), creating the first additively manufactured part in space. While additive manufacturing is a game changing technology for exploration missions, the process still requires raw feedstock material to fabricate parts. Without a recycling capability, a large supply of feedstock would need to be stored onboard, which negates the logistical benefits of these capabilities. Tethers Unlimited, Inc. (TUI), received a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award to design and build the first In-space Recycler for demonstration aboard the ISS in 2017. To fully test this technology in microgravity, parts will be 3D printed, recycled into reusable filament, and then reprinted into new parts. Recycling scrap into printer filament is quite challenging in that a recycler must be able to handle a large variety of possible scrap configurations and densities. New challenges include: dealing with inevitable contamination of the scrap material, minimizing damage to the molecular structure of the plastic during reprocessing, managing a larger volume of hot liquid plastic, and exercising greater control over the cooling/resolidification of the material. TUI has developed an architecture that addresses these challenges by combining standard, proven technologies with novel, patented processes developed through this effort. Results show that the filament diameter achieved is more consistent than commercial filament, with only minimal degradation of material properties over recycling steps. In May 2016, TUI completed fabrication of a flight prototype, which will ultimately progress to the demonstration unit for the ISS as a testbed for future exploration missions. This capability will provide significant cost savings by reducing the launch mass and volume required for printer feedstock as well as reduce waste that must be stored or disposed.

Electrostrictive Graft-Elastomers (G-Elastomers) - Materials, Devices and Applications - A Review

Hydrophobicity of Cryogenic Fluids for Fuel Transfer in Space Applicaitons

Introduction Hydrophobicity is the tendency of a fluid to repel another material or fluid. Hydrophobiciy can be measured through the wetting angle of the fluid on the surface of the other material. The greater the wetting angle, the more hydrophobic the surface is against the fluid. Hydrophobicity properties can be caused by one of two means, either through physical properties or chemical properties [\citenum{NARBUTT2020121}]. Physical hydrophobicity due to the surface of a solid creating surface roughness/patterning, minimizing the contact area between the fluid and the surface. This can be observed throughout nature, such as the surface of lotus leaves or butterfly wings. This physical property can be induced on a variety of surfaces, namely through laser etching, allowing a surface to be finely lineated to imitate these natural surfaces while controlling quantity, depth, and patterns of the etching on the surface [\citenum{10.1063/1.4905616}]. Physical hydrophobicity is therefore dependent on several variables, including the surface that the fluid is on and properties of the fluid itself, such as density and surface tension, both of which are dependent on temperature and/or pressure. Chemical hydrophobicity [\citenum{MadeiraHydrophobocicicici}] is due to the inherent chemical properties of the materials being used. This is most commonly due to the molecular structures changing the polarity of the materials. Depending on a nonpolar material will repel a polar material, proving to be hydrophobic, conversely if the polarity of the materials is the same (polar – polar, nonpolar – nonpolar), they will attract each other. Cryogenics refers to the behavior of materials at very low temperatures (<\ang{-100} C) [\citenum{ZOHURI20181}]. In space applications many things are inherently cryogenic, therefore this is an important field. There has been little research in how hydrophobicity changes at cryogenic temperatures. Cryogenic fluids are commonly used as fuels for spacecraft, therefore, integrating a hydrophobic surface can increase the transfer rate of the fuel. To test this, several experiments were set up to determine the hydrophobic properties of cryogenic fluids, including nitrogen (LN2), argon (LAr), oxygen (LOx), hydrogen (LH2), and methane (CH4), at cryogenic temperatures. Etched Wafer Testing A silicon wafer cut from a crystal of silicon [100] was used to model the potential hydrophobicity of various cryogenic fluids. Silicon [100] references to the crystallographic orientation of the silicon crystals in the wafer. These wafers were then laser etched to create a surface that is more likely to be hydrophobic. To test the hydrophobicity of the wafers at cryogenic temperatures, the temperatures of the wafers must be reduced to the same temperature as the cryogenic fluid being used to prevent rapid boil-off. To achieve this a double-walled vacuum insulated glass chamber was utilized. The chamber is open, with a double-walled glass that can be placed in a vacuum to remove condensation from the outside to allow easier viewing of the experiment. Furthermore, the silicon wafer's temperature must be lowered to the temperature of LN2, as well as maintain the temperature throughout the experiment. To achieve this a piece of 6061 aluminum was used, creating a stand-off for the wafer and it would allow for the insulation of the temperature of the wafers. The container was then filled with LN2 and once the LN2 stabilized the vaporization and the levels of LN2 dropped under the height of the wafer, the wafer was then allowed to air dry. Once the wafer was dry from the LN2, drops of LN2 were placed on the surface of the wafer for observation. During the first trial, the LN2 that was dropped on the surface displayed nonhydrophobic behaviors, spreading out along the surface, with a minimal wetting angle (too small to be measured). This process was repeated for liquid argon. Further testing with other cryogenic liquids will require different testing apparatuses due to being more volatile. Furthermore, several papers [\citenum{voltvolt7}] have suggested that running a voltage can induce a hydrophobic effect throughout a surface, further testing will include a voltage (constant and oscillating) to determine if voltage influences inducing hydrophobicity at cryogenic temperatures. Chemical Testing Coating the interior walls of the fuel tanks and fuel lines can successfully create a hydrophobic surface. The inherent problem is finding a material that can be used to coat the surface, furthermore, at these temperatures, the coating will remain solid, which could pose issues in maintaining the hydrophobic properties. To test this water (polar) is hydrophobic against oils and fats (nonpolar), therefore the same experiment as the etched wafer testing was conducted to determine if the hydrophobic properties will persist as the nonpolar material remains solid and the polar material remains a fluid. The water remained hydrophobic, allowing testing can expand to the cryogenic fluids. However, another hurdle is faced in finding a chemically opposite material to the cryogenic fluids being tested. As many of the cryogenic fluids being tested are diatomic, they are inherently nonpolar, therefore, the material used for the hydrophobic coating must be polar. Polar greases and lubricants are difficult to come by, however, lithium stearate, appears to be a potential candidate for creating a coated hydrophobic surface for cryogenic fluids at cryogenic temperatures.

JWST Photometry and Spectra Reveal Dust and Ice in Super Star Cluster Located in N79

Super star clusters (SSCs) are the most extreme mode of star formation; however they are rare in the local universe. With the serendipitous discovery of SSC candidate H72.97-69.39 in the N79 Region of the Large Magellanic Cloud, we have a unique opportunity to study the early phases of an SSC formation. H72.97-69.39 has an uncertain luminosity with a lower limit of 1,500,000 L⊙, based on spectral energy distribution fit, with a potential to reach the luminosity of the R136 SSC in 30 Doradus (10,000,000 L⊙). We will present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near- and mid-infrared (NIRCam and MIRI) observations of H72.97-69.39, including mid-infrared spectra of six young stellar objects taken with the MIRI instrument. The emission and absorption lines seen in the high-resolution spectra include fine-structure, molecular hydrogen, polyaromatic hydrocarbon, and ice features. Hydrogen recombination lines indicate these protostars have accretion rates as high as 0.02 M⊙ per year. Photometry is accomplished using the software package StarbugII, which was developed for JWST imaging of crowded fields and complex backgrounds. Near- and mid-infrared photometry from JWST reveal over 100 young stellar objects within a 30-pc x 40 pc (120” x 160”) region with spectral energy distribution fits indicating the masses of these objects areas low as 0.5 M⊙ and as high as 40 M⊙. We use color magnitude diagrams to separate the young stellar objects from the red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch stellar populations. We compare our JWST observations to ALMA, HST, and Chandra observations to present a clearer picture of how star formation takes place within an SSC.

A Study of Space Environment Effect on Highly Thermally Conductive Hybrid Carbon Fiber Polymer Composites

A set of novel highly thermally conductive hybrid carbon fiber (CF) polymer composites has been developed for lightweight thermal radiator applications in space missions. This study investigates the effects of the space environment on these materials following exposure in low-Earth orbit (LEO) during the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE)-17 flight mission, where samples experienced 159 days of combined atomic oxygen (AO), ultraviolet (UV) radiation, high vacuum, space radiation and thermal cycling. Post-flight characterization included weight loss, surface morphology, thermo-optical properties, molecular structures, glass transition temperature, thermal degradation and thermal conductivity analyses. The pyrolytic graphite sheet (PGS) samples exhibited negligible weight loss, stable thermo-optical property, and only minor oxidation signature on the exposed surface. Although AO erosion of the epoxy polymer matrix was evident, carbon nanotube (CNT)-infused PGS/CF epoxy composites retained high thermal emissivity and preserved their high thermal conductivities. These results demonstrate that the novel highly thermally conductive hybrid CF composites possess strong environmental resilience and are promising candidates for lightweight thermal radiators and thermal management components in future space exploration missions.

Interfacial stability of CoSi2/Si structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy

The stability of CoSi2/Si interfaces was examined in this study using columnar silicide structures grown on (111) Si substrates. In the first set of experiments, Co and Si were codeposited using MBE at 800 C and the resulting columnar silicide layer was capped by epitaxial Si. Deposition of Co on the surface of the Si capping layer at 800 C results in the growth of the buried silicide columns. The buried columns grow by subsurface diffusion of the deposited Co, suppressing the formation of surface islands of CoSi2. The column sidewalls appear to be less stable than the top and bottom interfaces, resulting in preferential lateral growth and ultimately in the coalescence of the columns to form a continuous buried CoSi2 layer. In the second set of experiments, annealing of a 250 nm-thick buried columnar layer at 1000 C under a 100 nm-thick Si capping layer results in the formation of a surface layer of CoSi2 with a reduction in the sizes of the CoSi2 columns. For a sample having a thicker Si capping layer the annealing leads to Ostwald ripening producing buried equiaxed columns. The high CoSi2/Si interfacial strain could provide the driving force for the observed behavior of the buried columns under high-temperature annealing.

Structure of dense molecular gas in TMC 1 from observations of three transitions of HC3N

The Taurus dark cloud complex is a collection of many individual clouds scattered across approximately 50 pc. Within one of these, Heiles Cloud 2, is the dense condensation TMC 1. TMC 1 is one of the few sources in which some of the long carbon chain molecules are found. The present investigation is concerned with a mapping of the density structure in a narrow ridge of the TMC 1 structure. It is shown that the HC3N emission from the J = 5 to 4, J = 9 to 8, and J = 12 to 11 transitions is well matched by a narrow ridge of material at a single density of 50,000-100,000 per cu cm. There is evidence that the HC3N fractional abundance is variable along the ridge. Evidence is also found for the presence of subcondensations within this ridge from maps at individual velocities.
