According to the role-model hypothesis, the gender match between scientist and influencer is paramount (for example, women scientists would disproportionately often mention their mothers as career influencers)," scientists writing in the journal Social Studies of Science report (see also ). "According to the opportunity-structure hypothesis, the parent's educational level predicts his/her probability of being mentioned as a career influencer (that ism parents with higher educational levels would be more likely to be named). The examination of a sample of American scientists who had received prestigious postdoctoral fellowships resulted in rejecting the role-model hypothesis and corroborating the opportunity-structure hypothesis.

  • Irregular Satellites of the Giant Planets 411
    Nicholson et al.: Irregular Satellites of the Giant Planets 411 Irregular Satellites of the Giant Planets Philip D. Nicholson Cornell University Matija Cuk University of British Columbia Scott S. Sheppard Carnegie Institution of Washington David Nesvorný Southwest Research Institute Torrence V. Johnson Jet Propulsion Laboratory The irregular satellites of the outer planets, whose population now numbers over 100, are likely to have been captured from heliocentric orbit during the early period of solar system history. They may thus constitute an intact sample of the planetesimals that accreted to form the cores of the jovian planets. Ranging in diameter from ~2 km to over 300 km, these bodies overlap the lower end of the presently known population of transneptunian objects (TNOs). Their size distributions, however, appear to be significantly shallower than that of TNOs of comparable size, suggesting either collisional evolution or a size-dependent capture probability. Several tight orbital groupings at Jupiter, supported by similarities in color, attest to a common origin followed by collisional disruption, akin to that of asteroid families. But with the limited data available to date, this does not appear to be the case at Uranus or Neptune, while the situa- tion at Saturn is unclear. Very limited spectral evidence suggests an origin of the jovian irregu- lars in the outer asteroid belt, but Saturn’s Phoebe and Neptune’s Nereid have surfaces domi- nated by water ice, suggesting an outer solar system origin. The short-term dynamics of many of the irregular satellites are dominated by large-amplitude coupled oscillations in eccentricity and inclination and offer several novel features, including secular resonances.

  • MOONS of OUR SOLAR SYSTEM Last Updated June 8, 2017 Since
    MOONS OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM last updated June 8, 2017 Since there are over 150 known moons in our solar system, all have been given names or designations. The problem of naming is compounded when space pictures are analyzed and new moons are discovered (or on rare occasions when spacecraft images of small, distant moons are found to be imaging flaws, and a moon is removed from the list). This is a list of the planets' known moons, with their names or other designations. If a planet has more than one moon, they are listed from the moon closest to the planet to the moon farthest from the planet. Since the naming systems overlap, many moons have more than one designation; in each case, the first identification listed is the official one. MERCURY and VENUS have no known moons. EARTH has one known moon. It has no official name. MARS has two known moons: Phobos and Deimos. ASTEROIDS (Small moons have now been found around several asteroids. In addition, a growing number of asteroids are now known to be binary, meaning two asteroids of about the same size orbiting each other. Whether there is a fundamental difference in these situations is uncertain.) JUPITER has 69 known moons. Names such as “S/2003 J2" are provisional. Metis (XVI), Adrastea (XV), Amalthea (V), Thebe (XIV), Io (I), Europa (II), Ganymede (III), Callisto (IV), Themisto (XVIII), Leda (XIII), Himalia (Hestia or VI), Lysithea (Demeter or X), Elara (Hera or VII), S/2000 J11, Carpo (XLVI), S/2003 J3, S/2003 J12, Euporie (XXXIV), S/2011 J1, S/2010 J2, S/2003 J18, S/2016 J1, Orthosie
