AUGUST 1966 This document is available from the Clearinghouse for Federal Scientific and Technical Information (CFSTI), Springfield, Virginia 221 51 for $1.50. INTRODUCTION With the publication of this first supplement, NASA SP-7017(01), to the original issue of the Continuing Bibliography on “Planetary Atmospheres” (NASA SP-70 17), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration continues its program of distributing selected references to reports and articles on aerospace topics that are currently under intensive study. The references are assembled in this form to provide a convenient source of information for use by scientists and engineers who need this kind of specialized compil- ation. Continuing Bibliographies are updated periodically by supplements which can be appended to the original issue. With respect to particular subjects, the majority of entries in this publication pertain to investigations of Mars and Venus, and a large percentage of these references were pro- duced as a result of the successful probes of the atmospheres of Venus (Mariner 11) and Mars (Mariner IV). In addition, a limited number of references to the atmospheres of Jupiter, Mercury, and Saturn is also included. The scope of coverage was defined to permit inclusion of references to such specific topics as the theory of planetary origins, extra- terrestrial environment, planetary exploration and spacecraft reentry, and the physical properties of the planets. Pertinent references to the techniques of planetary observation and measurement, e.g., those involving photography, photometry, spectroscopy, astronomy, and meteorology, are also to be found in this bibliography. All references included in SP-7017(01) have been announced in either Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR). International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA ) or the NASA Continuing Bibliography Aerospace Medicine and Biology (NASA SP-7011 and its supplements), and were introduced into the NASA information system during the period February, 1965-May7 1966. Each entry in the bibliography consists of a citation and an abstract. The listing of entries is arranged in three major groups. Report literature references are contained in the first group and are subdivided according to their date of announcement in STAR. The second group includes journal and book references that have been announced in IAA. A third group is comprised of entries that were originally prepared by the Aerospace Medicine and Biology Bibliography Section of the Library of Congress (LC) for inclusion in Aero- space Medicine and Biology. A subject index and a personal author index are included. ... 111 c AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS STAR Entries NASA documents listed are available without charge to: 1.

    Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii

    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.
  • Recurring Slope Lineae: Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars Today?

    Recurring Slope Lineae: Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars Today?

    Recurring Slope Lineae: Evidence of liquid water on Mars today? The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has monitored surface feature changes over several Mars years. One of the more intriguing observations has been of the seasonal occurrence of numerous (multi-thousand) dark streak features advancing down equator-facing slopes in several mid-latitude and equatorial regions of the southern hemisphere. Termed Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL), the streak behavior resembles that of a fluid mobilized by increasing surface temperatures – initiating in spring, incrementally extending downslope through summer, and then fading in the fall and winter seasons. The phenomenon is then seen to repeat the following spring. RSLs are narrow in width (meter-scale), requiring our best resolution imaging to see them, but may extend down-slope for hundreds of meters before terminating. Science teams involved in the discovery of RSL have been cautious in concluding a water-based origin since most of the RSL locations are found in environments well outside the pressure-temperature stability field for liquid water. However, the presence of salts such as perchlorate can depress freezing points by tens of degrees. MRO Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) observations of multiple RSL locations show hydrated mineral absorption signals most consistent with magnesium perchlorate, magnesium chlorate and sodium perchlorate. That raises the possibility of a Mg-, Na-, Cl-rich brine that would also leave these minerals as a kind of evaporite deposit. However, the amount of water, if present, has been constrained at one location by independent Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS; Mars Odyssey) data analysis and a numerical heat transfer model to 0 wt.%, and up to 3 wt.% given observational uncertainties, unlikely to support a sustained flow.

Created by a visionary artist named Chesley Bonestell, the paintings showed war-weary readers what worlds beyond our own might actually look like–a stun- ning achievement for the time. Years later, Bonestell would work closely with early space pioneers such as Willy Ley and Wernher von Braun in helping the world understand what exists beyond our tiny planet, why it is essential for us to go there, and how it could be done.

    The Starting Materials In: Meteorites and the Early Solar System II S. Messenger Johnson Space Center S. Sandford Ames Research Center D. Brownlee University of Washington Combined information from observations of interstellar clouds and star forming regions and studies of primitive solar system materials give a first order picture of the starting materials for the solar system’s construction. At the earliest stages, the presolar dust cloud was comprised of stardust, refractory organic matter, ices, and simple gas phase molecules. The nature of the starting materials changed dramatically together with the evolving solar system. Increasing temperatures and densities in the disk drove molecular evolution to increasingly complex organic matter. High temperature processes in the inner nebula erased most traces of presolar materials, and some fraction of this material is likely to have been transported to the outermost, quiescent portions of the disk. Interplanetary dust particles thought to be samples of Kuiper Belt objects probably contain the least altered materials, but also contain significant amounts of solar system materials processed at high temperatures. These processed materials may have been transported from the inner, warmer portions of the disk early in the active accretion phase. 1. Introduction A principal constraint on the formation of the Solar System was the population of starting materials available for its construction. Information on what these starting materials may have been is largely derived from two approaches, namely (i) the examination of other nascent stellar systems and the dense cloud environments in which they form, and (ii) the study of minimally altered examples of these starting materials that have survived in ancient Solar System materials.

    Asteroidal Dust 423

    Dermott et al.: Asteroidal Dust 423 Asteroidal Dust Stanley F. Dermott University of Florida Daniel D. Durda Southwest Research Institute Keith Grogan NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Thomas J. J. Kehoe University of Florida There is good evidence that the high-speed, porous, anhydrous chondritic interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) collected in Earth’s stratosphere originated from short-period comets. How- ever, by considering the structure of the solar-system dust bands discovered by IRAS, we are able to show that asteroidal collisions are probably the dominant source of particles in the zodiacal cloud. It follows that a significant and probably the dominant fraction of the IDPs collected in Earth’s stratosphere also originated from asteroids. IDPs are the most primitive particles in the inner solar system and represent a class of material quite different from that in our meteorite collections. The structure, mineralogy, and high C content of IDPs dictate that they cannot have originated from the grinding down of known meteorite types. We argue that the asteroidal IDPs were probably formed as a result of prolonged mechanical mixing in the deep regoliths of asteroidal rubble piles in the outer main belt. 1.

    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

Key points: • Terraced craters: abundant in Arcadia Planitia, indicate subsurface layering • A widespread subsurface interface is also detected by SHARAD • Combining data sets yields dielectric constants consistent with decameters of excess water ice Abstract: The distribution of subsurface water ice on Mars is a key constraint on past climate, while the volumetric concentration of buried ice (pore-filling versus excess) provides information about the process that led to its deposition. We investigate the subsurface of Arcadia Planitia by measuring the depth of terraces in simple impact craters and mapping a widespread subsurface reflection in radar sounding data. Assuming that the contrast in material strengths responsible for the terracing is the same dielectric interface that causes the radar reflection, we can combine these data to estimate the dielectric constant of the overlying material.
