Compact Ultra Dense Matter Impactors
Johann Rafelski, Lance Labun, and Jeremiah Birrell
TL;DR
This paper investigates how ultra dense, meteor-like objects impact Earth and other rocky bodies, focusing on energy loss mechanisms to understand their interactions and potential to reveal new forms of matter.
Contribution
It introduces a study of impacts by ultra dense objects, highlighting differences from regular meteor impacts and exploring their potential as probes of novel matter.
Findings
CUDO impacts cause distinct energy loss patterns compared to regular meteors.
Impacts can provide insights into the properties of ultra dense matter.
Differences in impact signatures may help identify CUDO events.
Abstract
We study interactions of meteorlike compact ultradense objects (CUDO), having nuclear or greater density, with Earth and other rocky bodies in the Solar System as a possible source of information about novel forms of matter. We study the energy loss in CUDO puncture of the body and discuss differences between regular matter and CUDO impacts.
