The danger to satellites from meteor storms
TL;DR: In this article, the most likely meteoroid stream to yield a storm in the near future is that of the Leonids, and numerical simulations of the orbital evolution of hypothetical Leonid stream meteoroids suggest that storms may occur in the years 1999 and 2000.

Impact probabilities on artificial satellites for the 1993 Perseid meteoroid stream
Martin Beech,Peter Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an estimate of the impact probability of the Perseid meteoroid stream particles with Earth-orbiting satellites is presented, for objects comparable in size to the Hubble Space Telescope and the Space Shuttle is found to be small but non-negligible.
An approximate solution for the polytropen=3
TL;DR: In general, the Lane-Emden equation for an arbitrary polytropic indexn does not admit of an analytic solution; however, simple approximation to the numerical results can, however, be found; and, in particular, the authors affords a hitherto unreported good approximation to then=3 model.

The Schoenberg-Chandrasekhar limit: a polytropic approximation
TL;DR: The existence of a maximum isothermal core mass fraction (qmax), the Schoenberg-Chandrasekhar limit, is one of the classic results from the theory of stellar structure.
