Kerem Received: 30 June 2012 / Accepted: 1 February 2013 © The Author(s) 2013. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract The Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) on the two Van Allen Probes spacecraft is the magnetosphere ring current instrument that will provide data for answering the three over-arching questions for the Van Allen Probes Pro- gram: RBSPICE will determine “how space weather creates the storm-time ring current around Earth, how that ring current supplies and supports the creation of the radiation belt populations,” and how the ring current is involved in radiation belt losses. RBSPICE is a time-of-flight versus total energy instrument that measures ions over the energy range from ∼20 keV to ∼1 MeV. RBSPICE will also measure electrons over the energy range ∼25 keV to ∼1 MeV in order to provide instrument background information in the radiation belts. A description of the instrument and its data products are provided in this chapter. Keywords Magnetosphere · Ring current · Time-of-flight · Radiation belt · Space weather 1 Introduction The idea, or concept, of a “ring current” around Earth and its association with geomagnetic storms began in the early days of the twentieth century.

Esta es una relación cronológica de todos los lanzamientos de satélites artificiales de nuestro planeta, con independencia de su éxito o fracaso, tanto en el disparo como en órbita. Significa pues que muchos de ellos no han alcanzado el espacio y fueron destruidos. Se señala en primer lugar (a la izquierda) su nombre, seguido de la fecha del lanzamiento, el país al que pertenece el satélite (que puede ser otro distinto al que lo lanza) y el tipo de satélite; este último aspecto podría no corresponderse en exactitud dado que algunos son de finalidad múltiple. En los lanzamientos múltiples, cada satélite figura separado (salvo en los casos de fracaso, en que no llegan a separarse) pero naturalmente en la misma fecha y juntos. NO ESTÁN incluidos los llevados en vuelos tripulados, si bien se citan en el programa de satélites correspondiente y en el capítulo de “Cronología general de lanzamientos”. .SATÉLITE Fecha País Tipo SPUTNIK F1 15.05.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK F2 21.08.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK 01 04.10.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK 02 03.11.1957 URSS Científico VANGUARD-1A 06.12.1957 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 01 31.01.1958 USA Científico VANGUARD-1B 05.02.1958 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 02 05.03.1958 USA Científico VANGUARD-1 17.03.1958 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 03 26.03.1958 USA Científico SPUTNIK D1 27.04.1958 URSS Geodésico VANGUARD-2A

  • Distribution of Earth's Radiation Belts Protons Over the Drift Frequency Of
    1 Distribution of Earth's radiation belts protons over the drift 2 frequency of particles 3 Alexander S. Kovtyukh 4 Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, Moscow State University, Moscow, 119234, Russia 5 Correspondence: Alexander S. Kovtyukh ([email protected]) 6 Abstract. On the data for the proton fluxes of the Earth's radiation belts (ERB) with energy 7 ranging from 0.2 to 100 MeV on the drift L shells ranging from 1 to 8, the quasi-stationary 8 distributions over the drift frequency fd of protons around the Earth are constructed. For this 9 purpose, direct measurements of proton fluxes of the ERB in the period 1961–2017 near the 10 geomagnetic equator were employed. The main physical processes in the ERB manifested more 11 clearly in these distributions, and for protons with fd > 0.5 mHz at L > 3 their distributions in the 12 space {fd, L} have a more regular shape than in the space {E, L}. It has been found also that the 13 quantity of the ERB protons with fd 1–10 mHz at L 2 does not decrease, as for protons with 14 E > 10–20 MeV (with fd > 10 mHz), but increases with an increase in solar activity. This means 15 that the balance of radial transport and losses of the ERB low-energy protons at L 2 is 16 disrupted in advantage of transport for these protons: the effect of an increase in the radial 17 diffusion rates with increasing solar activity, overpowers the effect of an increase in the density 18 of the dissipative medium.

  • NASA Is Not Archiving All Potentially Valuable Data
    ‘“L, United States General Acchunting Office \ Report to the Chairman, Committee on Science, Space and Technology, House of Representatives November 1990 SPACE OPERATIONS NASA Is Not Archiving All Potentially Valuable Data GAO/IMTEC-91-3 Information Management and Technology Division B-240427 November 2,199O The Honorable Robert A. Roe Chairman, Committee on Science, Space, and Technology House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: On March 2, 1990, we reported on how well the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) managed, stored, and archived space science data from past missions. This present report, as agreed with your office, discusses other data management issues, including (1) whether NASA is archiving its most valuable data, and (2) the extent to which a mechanism exists for obtaining input from the scientific community on what types of space science data should be archived. As arranged with your office, unless you publicly announce the contents of this report earlier, we plan no further distribution until 30 days from the date of this letter. We will then give copies to appropriate congressional committees, the Administrator of NASA, and other interested parties upon request. This work was performed under the direction of Samuel W. Howlin, Director for Defense and Security Information Systems, who can be reached at (202) 275-4649. Other major contributors are listed in appendix IX. Sincerely yours, Ralph V. Carlone Assistant Comptroller General Executive Summary The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is respon- Purpose sible for space exploration and for managing, archiving, and dissemi- nating space science data. Since 1958, NASA has spent billions on its space science programs and successfully launched over 260 scientific missions.

  • Observations of Magnetars: from Outburst to Quiescence
    Observations of Magnetars: From Outburst to Quiescence Paul Andrew Scholz Department of Physics McGill University Montréal, Québec Canada November 2016 A Thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Paul Andrew Scholz, 2016 Dedicated to my parents, who made all this possible. Abstract Magnetars are pulsars, rotating neutron stars, that display extreme activity and typically have X- ray luminosities that are in excess of their rotational energy loss. The cause of both the activity and excess luminosity is thought to be the large energy reservoir provided by their high magnetic fields. We present studies of three different magnetars, 1E 1547−5408, Swift J1822.3−1606, and 1RXS J170849.0−400910. Using detailed spectral and timing observations of these three magne- tars from the Swift, Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, Chandra, and XMM-Newton X-ray telescopes, we test several different aspects of the magnetar model. Specifically, we study the correlation between the hardness and flux of the X-ray emission following magnetar outbursts, the relation between timing and radiative activity, and whether a magnetic field in excess of ∼ 1014 G is required to power magnetar activity. We first present Swift observations of 1E 1547−5408 following its 2009 January outburst. We show the X-ray radiative evolution following the outburst as well as a statistical study of the short X-ray bursts emitted during the event. We find that the X-ray flux increased by a factor of ∼>500 and hardened significantly. We present the hardness-flux evolution of the persistent emission of the 2008 and 2009 outbursts of 1E 1547−5408 and compare it to those from other magnetars and find that although an overall trend does exist, the degree of hardening for a given increase in flux is not uniform from source to source.

On the base of generalized data on the proton fluxes of the Earth's radiation belts 7 (ERB) with energy from E 0.2 MeV to 100 MeV at drift shells L from 1 to 8, constructed 8 stationary distributions of the ERB protons over the drift frequency fd of protons around the 9 Earth. For this, direct measurements of proton fluxes of the ERB in the period 1961–2017 near 10 the plane of the geomagnetic equator were used. The main physical processes in the ERB 11 manifested more clearly in these distributions, and for protons with fd > 0.5 mHz at L > 3 12 distributions of the ERB protons in the space {fd, L} have a more orderly form than in the space 13 {E, L}. It has been found also that the quantity of the ERB protons with fd 1–10 mHz at L 2 14 does not decrease, as for protons with E > 10–20 MeV (with fd > 10 mHz), but increases with an 15 increase in solar activity. This means that the balance of radial transport and losses of the ERB 16 low-energy protons at L 2 is disrupt in advantage of transport: for these protons, the effect of 17 an increase in the radial diffusion rates with increasing in solar activity overpowers the effect of 18 an increase in the density of the dissipative medium.
