    Frequency-doubled CO2 lidar measurement and diode laser spectroscopy of atmospheric CO2 (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: A lidar instrument based on pulsed frequency-doubled carbon-dioxide lasers has been used at 4.88 microns for remote sensing of atmospheric carbon dioxide. A tunable-diode laser spectrometer provided the high-resolution spectroscopic data on carbon-dioxide line strength and line broadening needed for an accurate differential absorption measurement. Initial field measurements are presented, and instrument improvements necessary for accurate carbon dioxide measurement are discussed.

    The filaments of NGC 1275 - A collision between a galaxy and an accretion flow? (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Morphological evidence is presented (in the form of 3-A-bandpass Fabry-Perot images made with a CCD camera) that the two bright emission-line systems seen toward the galaxy NGC 1275 arise from a high-velocity impact of a foreground galaxy upon the accretion flow of gas cooling in the center of the Perseus cluster. The uniquely high optical-line luminosity of NGC 1275, in comparison with other central galaxies in clusters observed to have cooling flows, may be explained by energy deposited during the collision. Using additional information from 21-cm and extinction measurements, a rough model of the interaction is developed. Problems remain with this model - such as the likelihood of a gas-rich system penetrating to the cluster center. The kinematic structure of the optically emitting gas shows additional complex structure near the nucleus of NGC 1275.

    Coordinated Einstein and IUE observations of a disparitions brusques type flare event and quiescent emission from Proxima Centauri (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The Einstein Imaging Particle Counter observed a major X-ray flare in its entirety during a 5-hr period of simultaneous observations, with the IUE, of the dM5e flare star Proxima Centauri in August, 1980. The detailed X-ray light curve, temperature determinations during various intervals, and UV line fluxes obtained before, during, and after the flare indirectly indicate a 'two-ribbon flare' prominence eruption. The calculated ratio of coronal to bolometric luminosity for the event is about 100 times the solar ratio. The Proxima Cen corona is analyzed in the context of static loop models, in light of which it is concluded that less than 6% of the stellar surface seems to be covered by X-ray emitting active regions.

    Method and apparatus for supercooling and solidifying substances (1983)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An enclosure provides a containerless environment in which a sample specimen is positioned. The specimen is heated in the containerless environment, and the specimen melt is dropped through the tube in which it cools by radiation. The tube is alternatively backfilled with an inert gas whereby the specimen melt cools by both radiation and convection during its free fall. During the free fall, the sample is in a containerless, low-gravity environment which enhances supercooling in the sample and prevents sedimentation and thermal convection influences. The sample continues to supercool until nucleation occurs which is detected by silicon photovoltaic detectors. The sample solidifies after nucleation and becomes completely solid before entering the detachable catcher. The amount of supercooling of the specimen can be measured by knowing the cooling ratio and determining the time for nucleation to occur.

    Microwave holographic surface measurement of the Tidbinbilla 64-m antenna (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The use of a holographic technique for accurately measuring the surface figure of the Tidbinbilla (Canberra, Australia) 64-m antenna is described. Described by Bennet et al. (1976) and Scott and Ryle (1977), the technique consists of measuring the complex far-field response of the antenna at a single frequency using a terrestrial, satellite-borne or celestial radiation source of small angular diameter. This two-dimensional pattern is then Fourier transformed to yield the complex illumination function across the antenna aperture; antenna surface deviations are manifested as phase fluctuations in this function. The speed and low cost of using the technique are real advantages where observing schedules with the telescopes are heavily subscribed. For the 64-m antenna, the unweighted rms surface deviation is found to be about 1.8 mm; when weighted by the radial amplitude taper it is about 1.1 mm. Two earlier estimates by other methods had yielded tolerances of about 1.2 mm rms and 1.1 mm rms. It is planned to use the technique to survey the 22-m antennas of the Australian Telescope accurate to approximately 0.1 mm rms near 10 Ghz.

    Coherent infrared lidar mission and technology needs for measurements of transport and concentration of tropospheric trace species (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-27
    Description: The science justification and the feasibility of aircraft-based CO2 Doppler lidar measurements of transport between the free troposphere and the stratosphere (or planetary boundary layer) are discussed for a wide range of seasonal and geographic conditions. Ground-based coherent CO2 lidar aerosol scattering experiments using a stable ring resonator (about 50 mJ/pulse) CO2 laser with external injection locking are reported. Comparative studies of injection-locked CO2 laser unstable resonators and master oscillator power amplifiers are reported for future CO2 lidar missions with respect to requirements of pulse energy, duration/shape, frequency chirp, efficiency for heterodyne detection, and combined Doppler lidar and Differential Absorption Lidar missions.

    NGC 315 - High-velocity H I in an active elliptical galaxy (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The detection of high-velocity H I in absorption against the nuclear continuum source in the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 315 is reported. The absorption line is found to be highly blueshifted in the reference frame of the galaxy with a projected velocity toward the galaxy of 490 km/s. The absorption line is very strong (244 + or - 4 mJy), consisting of two components with very narrow velocity widths of 2.5 km/s (FWHM) each and peak optical depths of 0.9 and 0.2. The kinetic temperature must be 150 K if the line widths are due entirely to thermal broadening, while the neutral gas column densities implied are 2-5 x 10 to the 20th hydrogen atoms/sq cm. No OH in absorption was detected in these clouds to a limiting peak optical depth of 0.04, although this result is consistent with either a galactic or extragalactic origin of the clouds. It is suggested that these clouds may have condensed out of a large unobserved galactic halo of gas, or they may reside in or have been captured from the intracluster medium.

    2-165 keV observations of active galaxies and the diffuse background (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: HEAO 1 spectral observations of 12 active galaxies in the 12-165 keV and 2-50 keV ranges are reported. The spectra of these galaxies in the 2-165 keV range are well represented by a single power law model; within experimental uncertainties a narrow dispersion in power law index attributable to the individual galaxies is observed, while the 2-165 keV luminosities of these galaxies ranged from 3 x 10 to the 43rd to 3 x 10 to the 45th ergs/s. An apparent universality of the spectral form is found which can be interpreted as due to a common electron distribution with a temperature of tens of keV in the Compton scattering region or as a common nonthermal power-law distribution generating the observed flux through synchrotron-Compton processes. The data indicate that relativistic particles are likely to be responsible for the X-rays from cores of active galaxies through synchroton-Compton processes. In addition, it is noted that only weak number evolution, if any at all, is present in active galaxies.

    Gravitational waves and red shifts - A space experiment for testing relativistic gravity using multiple time-correlated radio signals (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: A two-step satellite mission for improving the accuracy of gravitational wave detection and for observing actual gravity waveforms is proposed. The spacecraft would carry both a highly stable hydrogen maser, which would control a transmitter sending signals to earth, and a Doppler transponder operating in the two-way mode. The use of simultaneous one- and two-way Doppler transmissions offers four time records of frequency pulsations, which can reveal gravitational radiation at 1-10 MHz with an amplitude accuracy of a factor of six. The first mission phase would consist of a Shuttle launch into a highly eccentric orbit to obtain measurements of the gravitational redshift using gravitational potentials of different earth regions to establish that gravity is describable by a metric theory. Then, after a boost into a heliocentric orbit at 6 AU, the earth-satellite system could detect gravitational waves in the solar system, as well as bursts emitted by the collisions of supermassive black holes.
