Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

The Very Forward CASTOR Calorimeter of the CMS Experiment
EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH (CERN) CERN-EP-2020-180 2021/02/11 CMS-PRF-18-002 The very forward CASTOR calorimeter of the CMS experiment The CMS Collaboration* Abstract The physics motivation, detector design, triggers, calibration, alignment, simulation, and overall performance of the very forward CASTOR calorimeter of the CMS exper- iment are reviewed. The CASTOR Cherenkov sampling calorimeter is located very close to the LHC beam line, at a radial distance of about 1 cm from the beam pipe, and at 14.4 m from the CMS interaction point, covering the pseudorapidity range of −6.6 < h < −5.2. It was designed to withstand high ambient radiation and strong magnetic fields. The performance of the detector in measurements of forward energy density, jets, and processes characterized by rapidity gaps, is reviewed using data collected in proton and nuclear collisions at the LHC. ”Published in the Journal of Instrumentation as doi:10.1088/1748-0221/16/02/P02010.” arXiv:2011.01185v2 [physics.ins-det] 10 Feb 2021 © 2021 CERN for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration.

Geologic Studies of Planetary Surfaces Using Radar Polarimetric Imaging 2
Geologic studies of planetary surfaces using radar polarimetric imaging 2 4 Lynn M. Carter NASA Goddard Space Flight Center 8 Donald B. Campbell 9 Cornell University 10 11 Bruce A. Campbell 12 Smithsonian Institution 13 14 14 Abstract: Radar is a useful remote sensing tool for studying planetary geology because it is 15 sensitive to the composition, structure, and roughness of the surface and can penetrate some 16 materials to reveal buried terrain. The Arecibo Observatory radar system transmits a single 17 sense of circular polarization, and both senses of circular polarization are received, which allows 18 for the construction of the Stokes polarization vector. From the Stokes vector, daughter products 19 such as the circular polarization ratio, the degree of linear polarization, and linear polarization 20 angle are obtained. Recent polarimetric imaging using Arecibo has included Venus and the 21 Moon. These observations can be compared to radar data for terrestrial surfaces to better 22 understand surface physical properties and regional geologic evolution. For example, 23 polarimetric radar studies of volcanic settings on Venus, the Moon and Earth display some 24 similarities, but also illustrate a variety of different emplacement and erosion mechanisms. 25 Polarimetric radar data provides important information about surface properties beyond what can 26 be obtained from single-polarization radar. Future observations using polarimetric synthetic 27 aperture radar will provide information on roughness, composition and stratigraphy that will 28 support a broader interpretation of surface evolution. 29 2 29 1.0 Introduction 30 31 Radar polarimetry has the potential to provide more information about surface physical 32 properties than single-polarization backscatter measurements, and has often been used in remote 33 sensing observations of Solar System objects. -

Forntiden och den äldre medeltiden. Hälsingborg 1925, 310 sid. Inom Hälsingborgs stadsfullmäktige väcktes 1911 förslag om utgivandet av en historisk redogörelse över stadens utveckling sedan dess stadsfullmäktige- institutions tillkomst, vilken tanke omsider resulterade i -utgivandet av en minnesskrift 1913. Emellertid hade planer varit å färde att komma med ett bre dare lagt arbete över stadens historia frän äldsta tider. Detta större verk skulle omfatta en allmän del och en speciell med statistik. Första delen av den av arkivarien Bäåth redigerade allmänna avdelningen föreligger nu i en diger och vackert utstyrd volym, som sysslar med stadens historia från urtiden till den nordiska äldre medeltidens slut. UNO SUNDELIUS rikt illustrerade skildring av Hälsingborgstraktens geolo giska historia bygger till stor del pä originalmaterial och blir särskilt beträffande kvartärtiden instruktiv därigenom att de lokala företeelserna ständigt ses i sitt samband med de mera omfattande, som gälla hela Skandinavien och Nordeu ropa. För arkeologer (och även andra icke geologiska fackmän) föreligger här en förträfflig orientering över de viktiga och intressanta istidsfenomenen, och i innehållsrika noter refereras de ledande istidsforskarnas divergerande åsikter om huvudproblemen.

Moore Et Al., 1977
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 98, NO. E2, PAGES 3413-3429, FEBRUARY 25, 1993 SOIL TEXTURE AND GRANULOMETRY AT THE SURFACE OF MARS Audouin Dollfus and Marc Deschamps Observatoire de Paris, Meudon, France James R. Zimbelman Center for Earth and Planetary Sciences, National Air and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. The physical behavior of the Martian surface soil has been characterized remotely by both photopolarimetry and radiometry. The degree of linear polarization defines a coefficient b which is related to the top surface soil texture and is calibrated in terms of grain size, or as a fraction of the area exhibiting uncovered clean rocks. This coefficient b was recorded with the instrument VPM (Visual Polarimeter Mars) on board Soviet orbiter MARS 5 in 1974. The radiometric thermal inertia coefficient I is essentially a measurement of the soil compaction, or an effective average particle size in the soil texture, through the few decimeters below the top surface sensed by polarimetry. The instrument IBTM (Infra Bed Thermal Mapper) was used on board the Viking spacecraft between 1976 and 1982. The polarimetric scans raked a strip covering two contrasting regions, the dark-hued Mare Erythraeum and the light-hued Thaumasia. Over these wide areas, several smaller typical terrains were characterized by the three parameters A (albedo), b (related to top surface grain size) and I (underlaying compaction or block size). The large dark region Erythraeum is characterized everywhere by a uniform polarization response, despite the large geomorphological diversity of the surface. The values of A and b indicate a ubiquitous coating or mantling with small dark grains of albedo 12.7%, with a radius of 10 to 20 urn. -
