This in turn is followed by the development of collisional environments that become increasingly important with time.

Hence they may have arisen from the same collisional event.

Their work shows that such tiny effects may have more impact on asteroids than larger collisional forces.

This was the main collisional phase in the formation of the Alps.

This difference may be due to a past collisional disruption of Proteus.

The assay is based on the collisional quenching of them.

This asteroid is believed to result from the collisional destruction of a larger parent body approximately 450,000 years ago.

They often occur as collisional families or groups.

These may represent collisional debris generated from impacts with this satellite.

This rapid rotation is thought to have been caused by the impact that created its satellites and collisional family.

This mechanism is collisional deactivation by a third body.

Here too the collisional energy is transferred to internal vibrations and oscillations.

This high amount of amorphous ice on the surface confirms that the collisional event must have happened more than 100 million years ago.

This was giving rise to an excessive amount of collisional damping, as the radio engineers called it.

The techniques of structural geology are used to unravel the collisional history and determine the forces involved.

Subsequent collisions between these captured satellites may have created the suspected collisional families seen today.

The event was brief but gentle, saving Triton from collisional disruption.

The leading theory is that these objects constitute collisional families, parts of a larger body that broke up.

Every such disruption would have started a collisional cascade that quickly ground almost all large bodies into much smaller particles, including dust.

Haumea's orbit has a slightly greater eccentricity than the other members of its collisional family.

At higher densities, the reverse process of collisional de-excitation suppresses the lines.

During this era the earliest global-scale continent-continent collisional belts developed.

This type of geometry is typically found in the hinterland of a collisional zone.

Dexter (also known as exchange or collisional energy transfer) is another dynamic quenching mechanism.

In astronomy, a collisional family is a group of objects that are thought to have a common origin in an impact (collision).
