Lave Abstract Using the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) onboard the Advanced Com- position Explorer (ACE) spacecraft, new and improved high-precision measurements of the elemental composition and energy spectra of galactic cosmic rays with energies from ∼50-550 MeV/nucleon and nuclear charge 5≤Z≤28 are reported here. These results cover observations during two solar minimum periods of the solar cycle, the most recent of which exhibited very low levels of solar activity and the highest galactic cosmic-ray intensities of the space era.

  • Calibration Method and Uncertainty for the Primordial Inflation Explorer
    Prepared for submission to JCAP Calibration Method and Uncertainty for the Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE) A. Kogut1 and D.J. Fixsen1;2 1Code 665, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771 USA 2University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 USA E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE) is an Explorer-class mission con- cept to measure cosmological signals from both linear polarization of the cosmic microwave background and spectral distortions from a perfect blackbody. The targeted measurement arXiv:2002.00976v2 [astro-ph.IM] 4 Mar 2021 sensitivity is 2{4 orders of magnitude below competing astrophysical foregrounds, placing stringent requirements on instrument calibration. An on-board blackbody calibrator presents a polarizing Fourier transform spectrometer with a known signal to enable conversion of the sampled interference fringe patterns from telemetry units to physical units. We describe the instrumentation and operations needed to calibrate PIXIE, derive the expected uncertainty for the intensity, polarization, and frequency scales, and show the effect of calibration uncer- tainty in the derived cosmological signals. In-flight calibration is expected to be accurate to a few parts in 106 at frequencies dominated by the CMB, and a few parts in 104 at higher frequencies dominated by the diffuse dust foreground. Keywords: CMBR experiments, CMBR polarisation 1 Introduction The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a unique window to the early universe. Its blackbody spectrum points to a hot, dense phase in the early universe, while spatial maps of small temperature perturbations about the blackbody mean provide detailed information on the geometry, constituents, and evolution of the universe.

Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinates: E 540610 N 3151547, Zone 17, NAD 1983. Date of Construction: 1959 Present Owner: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Present Use: Home to NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP) and the Launch Vehicle Data Center (LVDC). The LVDC allows engineers to monitor telemetry data during unmanned rocket launches. Significance: Missile Assembly Building AE, commonly called Hangar AE, is nationally significant as the telemetry station for NASA KSC’s unmanned Expendable Launch Vehicle (ELV) program. Since 1961, the building has been the principal facility for monitoring telemetry communications data during ELV launches and until 1995 it processed scientifically significant ELV satellite payloads. Still in operation, Hangar AE is essential to the continuing mission and success of NASA’s unmanned rocket launch program at KSC. It is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A in the area of Space Exploration as Kennedy Space Center’s (KSC) original Mission Control Center for its program of unmanned launch missions and under Criterion C as a contributing resource in the CCAFS Industrial Area Historic District.

Recent technological advances in high-spatial-resolution gas-filled X-ray detectors have enabled efficient polarimeters exploiting the photoelectric effect that hold great scientific promise for X-ray polarimetry in the 2–10 keV band. Advances in the fabrication of multilayer optics have made feasible the construc- tion of broad-band soft X-ray polarimeters based on Bragg reflection. Develop- ments in scintillator and solid-state hard X-ray detectors facilitate construction of both modular, large area Compton scattering polarimeters and compact devices suitable for use with focusing X-ray telescopes. 1. Polarization The polarization of photons reflects their fundamental nature as electromagnetic waves. A photon is a discrete packet of electric and magnetic fields oriented trans- verse to the direction of motion. The fields evolve in time and position according to Maxwell’s equations. The polarization describes the configuration of the fields. Since the electric and magnetic fields are interrelated by Maxwell’s equations, the configuration of both fields is set by specification of the electric field alone. An electromagnetic plane wave propagating along the z-axis with angular fre- quency ω can be described as a sinusoidally varying electric field of the form arXiv:1408.5899v3 [astro-ph.IM] 8 Jan 2016 E~ =xE ˆ X +ˆyEY =xE ˆ 0X cos(kz ωt)+ˆyE0Y cos(kz ωt + ξ).

    Titan Explorer: The Next Step in the Exploration of a Mysterious World Principal Investigator: Dr. Joel S. Levine, NASA Langley Research Center Study Manager: Mr. Henry S. Wright, NASA Langley Research Center Cover Image: Image Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute Image Caption: This natural color image shows Titan's upper atmosphere -- an active place where methane molecules are being broken apart by solar ultraviolet light and the byproducts combine to form compounds like ethane and acetylene. The haze preferentially scatters blue and ultraviolet wavelengths of light, making its complex layered structure more easily visible at the shorter wavelengths used in this image. Inset Image 1: Image Credit: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona Image Caption: The visual and infrared mapping spectrometer instrument onboard Cassini has found an unusual bright, red spot on Titan. This dramatic color (but not true color) image was taken during the April 16, 2005, encounter with Titan. North is to the right. In the center it shows the dark lanes of the "H"-shaped feature discovered from Earth and first seen by Cassini July 2004 shortly after it arrived in the Saturn system Inset Image 2: Image Credit: NASA/JPL/ESA/University of Arizona Image Caption: This image was returned yesterday, January 14, 2005, by the European Space Agency's Huygens probe during its successful descent to land on Titan. This is the colored view, following processing to add reflection spectra data, and gives a better indication of the actual color of the surface.
