  • Initial Survey of the Wave Distribution Functions for Plasmaspheric Hiss
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 96, NO. All, PAGES 19,469-19,489, NOVEMBER 1, 1991 InitialSurvey of the Wave Distribution Functions for PlasmasphericHiss Observedby ISEE I L. R. O. S•o•s¾, • F . Lsrsvvgs, 2 M . PARROT,2 L . CAm6, • AND R. R. ANDERSON4 MulticomponentELF/VLF wavedata from the ISEE 1 satellitehave been analyzed with the aim of identifying the generationmechanism of plasmaspherichiss, and especiallyof determining whether it involveswave propagationon cyclictrajectories. The data were taken from four passes of the satellite, of which two were close to the geomagneticequatorial plane and two were farther from it; all four occurred during magnetically quiet periods. The principal method of analysis was calculation of the wave distribution functions. The waves appear to have been generated over a wide range of altitudes within the plasmasphere,and most, though not all, of them were propagating obliquely with respect to the Earth's magnetic field. On one of the passes near the equator, some wave energy was observed at small wave normal angles, and these waves may have been propagating on cyclic trajectories. Even here, however, obliquely propagating waves werepredominant, a finding that is difficultto reconcilewith the classicalquasi-linear generation mech•sm or its variants. The conclusion is that another mechanism, probably nonlinear, must have been generating most of the hiss observedon these four passes. 1.

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.

McComas Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio TX University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78249, USA Abstract The goal of the Fully Online Datacenter of Ultraviolet Emissions (FONDUE) Work- ing Team of the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland, was to establish a common calibration of various UV and EUV heliospheric observations, both spectroscopic and photometric. Realization of this goal required a credible and up-to-date model of spatial distribution of neutral interstellar hydrogen in the heliosphere, and to that end, a credible model of the radiation pressure and ionization processes was needed. This chapter describes the latter part of the project: the solar factors responsible for shap- arXiv:1112.2967v1 [astro-ph.SR] 13 Dec 2011 ing the distribution of neutral interstellar H in the heliosphere. Presented are the solar Lyman-alpha flux and the question of solar Lyman-alpha resonant radiation pressure force acting on neutral H atoms in the heliosphere, solar EUV radiation and the process of pho- toionization of heliospheric hydrogen, and their evolution in time and the still hypothetical variation with heliolatitude. Further, solar wind and its evolution with solar activity is 1 2 2.
