Dale P. Cruikshank is an astronomer and planetary scientist in the Astrophysics Branch at NASA Ames Research Center. His research specialties are spectroscopy and radiometry of planets and small bodies in the Solar System. These small bodies include comets, asteroids, planetary satellites, dwarf planets (e.g., Pluto), and objects in the region beyond Neptune (Kuiper belt objects and trans-Neptunian bodies). He uses spectroscopic observations made with ground-based and space-based telescopes, as well as interplanetary spacecraft, to identify and study the ices, minerals, and organic materials that compose the surfaces of planets and small bodies.

  • El Dr. Dale P. Cruikshank és un astrònom i científic planetari de la Subdivisió d'Astrofísica del Centre d'Investigació Ames de la NASA. Les seves especialitats de recerca són l'espectroscòpia i la radiometria de planetes i petits cossos del Sistema Solar. Aquests petits cossos inclouen cometes, asteroides, satèl·lits planetaris, planetes nans (per exemple, Plutó) i objectes a la regió més enllà de Neptú (objectes del cinturó de Kuiper i cossos transneptunians). Utilitza les observacions espectroscòpiques realitzades amb telescopis terrestres i espacials, així com les naus espacials interplanetàries, per identificar i estudiar els gels, minerals i materials orgànics que componen les superfícies de planetes i cossos petits. Juntament amb diversos col·legues, Cruikshank ha trobat moltes classes de gel en diversos cossos planetaris petits. Aquests inclouen CH₄, N₂, CO, CO₂, i H₂O congelats en el satèl·lit Tritó de Neptú, CH₄, N₂, i CO a Plutó, H₂O en el satèl·lit Caront de Plutó, H₂O de gel a moltes de les llunes de Saturn i Urà, H₂O i CH₃OH sobre l'objecte Centaure 5145 Pholus. En estudis amb la nau Cassini, ell i els seus col·legues han trobat hidrocarburs en diversos satèl·lits de Saturn. (ca)

He uses spectroscopic observations made with ground-based and space-based telescopes, as well as interplanetary spacecraft, to identify and study the ices, minerals, and organic materials that compose the surfaces of planets and small bodies. Together with several colleagues, Cruikshank has found many kinds of ice on several small planetary bodies. These include frozen CH4, N2, CO, CO2, and H2O on Neptune's satellite Triton, CH4, N2, and CO on Pluto, H2O on Pluto's satellite Charon, H2O ice on many of the moons of Saturn and Uranus, H2O and CH3OH on the Centaur object 5145 Pholus. In studies with the Cassini spacecraft, he and his colleagues have found hydrocarbons on several of Saturn's satellites. (en)
