  • An Eco Explorer Is a Person Who Investigates
    Eco Explorer n eco explorer is a person who investigates A environmental issues and works to make positive changes to the environment. In this badge, you’ll be an eco explorer as you take a look at different environmental issues and choose one to explore further. Steps 1. Meet an eco explorer 2. Explore biodiversity 3. Investigate a global ecosystem issue 4. Plan a trip to explore and work on an issue 5. Share what you learned Purpose When I’ve earned this badge, I’ll have researched different environmental issues and taken at least one trip to see how an area is impacted. Prepare Ahead: Before you start this badge, learn the Leave No Trace Seven Principles so you can follow them as you work through the steps. You can read about them on page three. ECO EXPLORER 1 Every step has three choices. Do ONE choice to complete each step. Inspired? STEP Meet an Do more! 1 eco explorer With help from an adult, arrange to talk to an eco explorer about their work, or research one in books or online. An eco explorer can be anyone who has taken their passion for the environment and used it to make a difference. What inspired them to get involved with environmental issues? How have they impacted the world? CHOICES—DO ONE: Talk to a traveler who has taken a trip to explore an environmental issue or who is interested in eco-friendly travel. (You might get inspired by reading about the conservation-themed Girl Scout Destination trips at www.girlscouts.org/destinations.) How can people travel in an environmentally-friendly way? How can travel be used to make a difference in the world? If you have a trip planned in the future, you might talk about it and ask for tips on making it more eco-friendly.

  • 5 Orbit and Ground Track of a Satellite
    5 Orbit and Ground Track of a Satellite 5.1 Position of the Satellite on its Orbit Let (O; x, y, z) be the Galilean reference frame already defined. The satellite S is in an elliptical orbit around the centre of attraction O. The orbital plane P makes a constant angle i with the equatorial plane E. However, although this plane P is considered as fixed relative to in the Keplerian motion, in a real (perturbed) motion, it will in fact rotate about the polar axis. This is precessional motion,1 occurring with angular speed Ω˙ , as calculated in the last two chapters. A schematic representation of this motion is given in Fig. 5.1. We shall describe the position of S in using the Euler angles. 5.1.1 Position of the Satellite The three Euler angles ψ, θ and χ were introduced in Sect. 2.3.2 to specify the orbit and its perigee in space. In the present case, we wish to specify S. We obtain the correspondence between the Euler angles and the orbital elements using Fig. 2.1: ψ = Ω, (5.1) θ = i, (5.2) χ = ω + v. (5.3) Although they are fixed for the Keplerian orbit, the angles Ω, ω and M − nt vary in time for a real orbit. The inclination i remains constant, however. The distance from S to the centre of attraction O is given by (1.41), expressed in terms of the true anomaly v : a(1 − e2) r = . (5.4) 1+e cos v 1 The word ‘precession’, meaning ‘the action of preceding’, was coined by Coper- nicus around 1530 (præcessio in Latin) to speak about the precession of the equinoxes, i.e., the retrograde motion of the equinoctial points.

  • Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA
    Living Reviews in Relativity https://doi.org/10.1007/s41114-020-00026-9(0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,-volV) REVIEW ARTICLE Prospects for observing and localizing gravitational-wave transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA Abbott, B. P. et al. (KAGRA Collaboration, LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration)* Received: 1 October 2019 / Accepted: 27 May 2020 Ó The Author(s) 2020 Abstract We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years, with the intention of providing information to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We estimate the sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals for the third (O3), fourth (O4) and fifth observing (O5) runs, including the planned upgrades of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. We study the capability of the network to determine the sky location of the source for gravitational-wave signals from the inspiral of binary systems of compact objects, that is binary neutron star, neutron star–black hole, and binary black hole systems. The ability to localize the sources is given as a sky-area probability, luminosity distance, and comoving volume. The median sky localization area (90% credible region) is expected to be a few hundreds of square degrees for all types of binary systems during O3 with the Advanced LIGO and Virgo (HLV) network. The median sky localization area will improve to a few tens of square degrees during O4 with the Advanced LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA (HLVK) network. During O3, the median localization volume (90% credible region) is expected to be on the order of 105; 106; 107 Mpc3 for binary neutron star, neutron star–black hole, and binary black hole systems, respectively.
