    Pulsar astrometry by using VLBI (PSR0329 between Kashima 26mPhi and Usuda 64mPhi) (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-12-03
    Description: Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) carried out a VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometer) experiment of the Pulsar 0329 plus 54 on November in 1992 between Kashima 26mPhi and Usuda 64mPhi. We got a correlation for it by using K-3 VLBI correlator which was developed by CRL. Though we observed a slow pulsar this time, we are going to make millisecond pulsar experiments by making good use of this result and by using K-4 correlator which is under developing in CRL. Its result will give us precise positions and proper motions of pulsars which are useful for obtaining precise pulsar timing.

    Determination of the extragalactic-planetary frame tie from joint analysis of radio interferometric and lunar laser ranging measurements (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of extragalactic radio sources provide the basis for defining an accurate non-rotating reference frame in terms of angular positions of the sources. Measurements of the distance from the Earth to the Moon and to the inner planets provide the basis for defining an inertial planetary ephemeris reference frame. The relative orientation, or frame tie, between these two reference frames is of interest for combining Earth orientation measurements, for comparing Earth orientation results with theories referred to the mean equator and equinox, and for determining the positions of the planets with respect to the extragalactic reference frame. This work presents an indirect determination of the extragalactic-planetary frame tie from a combined reduction of VLBI and Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) observations. For this determination, data acquired by LLR tracking stations since 1969 have been analyzed and combined with 14 years of VLBI data acquired by NASA's Deep Space Network since 1978. The frame tie derived from this joint analysis, with an accuracy of 0.003 sec, is the most accurate determination obtained so far. This result, combined with a determination of the mean ecliptic (defined in the rotating sense), shows that the mean equinox of epoch J2000 is offset from the x-axis of the extragalactic frame adopted by the International Earth Rotation Service for astrometric and geodetic applications by 0.078 sec +/- 0.010 sec along the y-direction and y 0.019 sec +/- 0.001 sec. along the z-direction.

    Millimeter-wavelength observations of minor planets (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Bolometer observations at 250 GHz of fifteen minor planets have shown that the emissivity of these objects is close to unity. This results in an independent method to determine the absolute calibration scale of radio observations at mm wavelengths: Applying our results to Mars, the prime calibrator at this wavelength, gives a mean absolute disk temperature at mean solar distance of approximately 210 K. Further, the diameters of circularly symmetric asteroids can be determined or the surface area of asteroids can be estimated assuming some geometric constraints on their shape.

    Asymmetries in the Io plasma torus (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Using Ulysses radio wave data taken during the 1992 Jupiter encounter, we conclude that there are significant large and small spatial scale azimuthal asymmetries at high latitudes in the Io plasma torus. During a period of time near perijove when the spacecraft motion was predominantly in the azimuthal direction and was relatively fixed in both latitude and radial distance, inferred electron densities depart significantly from the common assumption of longitudinal symmetry. Specifically, electron plasma concentrations near 0 deg system III longitude (and 0400 LT) are greater than those near 180 deg (and 0000 LT). Superposed on this large-scale variation are regularly spaced density depletions, 30-50% in magnitude, and having a spatial periodicity of about 17 deg. Some of these depletions may drive various known radio and plasma wave sources by means of large B parallel electric potentials. The observations are compared with recent models and with the in-situ Voyager observations.

    Multiwaveband study of a major X-ray outburst from the Be/X-ray transient system A 1118-616 (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The Be/X-ray binary system A 118-616 has been observed to undergo a major outburst in January 1992 by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) all-sky monitor on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Ground-based optical and IR observations, supported by UV observations obtained under an IUE Target of Opportunity program, have provided us with an excellent multiwavelength study of this system to complement the X-ray data set. The results from this campaign are presented showing the details of the X-ray timing studies, the very strong H-alpha emission and the bright IR excess from the Be star's circumstellar disk (the fuel for the accretion process). Implications for the physics of the system are discussed.

    LMC stellar X-ray sources observed with ROSAT. 1: X-ray data and search for optical counterparts (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Observations of Einstein Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) X-ray point sources have been made with ROSAT's High-Resolution Imager to obtain accurate positions from which to search for optical counterparts. This paper is the first in a series reporting results of the ROSAT observations and subsequent optical observations. It includes the X-ray positions and fluxes, information about variability, optical finding charts for each source, a list of identified counterparts, and information about candidates which have been observed spectroscopically in each of the fields. Sixteen point sources were measured at a greater than 3 sigma level, while 15 other sources were either extended or less significant detections. About 50% of the sources are serendipitous detections (not found in previous surveys). More than half of the X-ray sources are variable. Sixteen of the sources have been optically identified or confirmed: six with foreground cool stars, four with Seyfert galaxies, two with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the LMC, and four with peculiar hot LMC stars. Presumably the latter are all binaries, although only one (CAL 83) has been previously studied in detail.

    Interferometric investigations of compressible dynamic stall over a transiently pitching airfoil (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The compressible dynamic stall flowfield over a NACA 0012 airfoil transiently pitching from 0 to 60 deg at a constant rate under compressible flow conditions has been studied using real-time interferometry. A quantitative description of the overall flowfield, including the finer details of dynamic stall vortex formation, growth, and the concomitant changes in the airfoil pressure distribution, has been provided by analyzing the interferograms. For Mach numbers above 0.4, small multiple shocks appear near the leading edge and are present through the initial stages of dynamic stall. Dynamic stall was found to occur coincidentally with the bursting of the separation bubble over the airfoil. Compressibility was found to confine the dynamic stall vortical structure closer to the airfoil surface. The measurements show that the peak suction pressure coefficient drops with increasing freestream Mach number, and also it lags the steady flow values at any given angle of attack. As the dynamic stall vortex is shed, an anti-clockwise vortex is induced near the trailing edge, which actively interacts with the post-stall flow.

    Reduction of blade-vortex interaction noise through porous leading edge (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The effect of the porous leading edge of an airfoil on the blade-vortex interaction noise, which dominates the far-field acoustic spectrum of the helicopter, is investigated. The thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a high-order upwind-biased scheme and a multizonal grid system. The Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model is modified for considering transpiration on the surface. The amplitudes of the propagating acoustic wave in the near field are calculated directly from the computation. The porosity effect on the surface is modeled in two ways: (1) imposition of prescribed transpiration velocity distribution and (2) calculation of transpiration velocity distribution by Darcy's law. Results show leading-edge transpiration can suppress pressure fluctuations at the leading edge during blade-vortex interaction and consequently reduce the amplitude of propagating noise by 30% at a maximum in the near field.

    Effect of Reynolds number and turbulence on airfoil aerodynamics at -90-degree incidence (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: A method has been developed for calculating the viscous flow about airfoils with and without deflected flaps at -90 deg incidence. This method provides for the solution of the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by means of an implicit technique. The solution is calculated on a body-fitted computational mesh using a staggered-grid method. The vorticity is defined at the node points, and the velocity components are defined at the mesh-cell sides. The staggered-grid orientation provides for accurate representation of vorticity at the node points and the continuity equation at the mesh-cell centers. The method provides for the noniterative solution of the flowfield and satisfies the continuity equation to machine zero at each time step. The method is evaluated in terms of its stability to predict two-dimensional flow about an airfoil at -90-deg incidence for varying Reynolds number and laminar/turbulent models. The variations of the average loading and surface pressure distribution due to flap deflection, Reynolds number, and laminar or turbulent flow are presented and compared with experimental results. The comparisom indicate that the calculated drag and drag reduction caused by flap deflection and the calculated average surface pressure are in excellent agreement with the measured results at a similar Reynolds number.

    Galileo infrared imaging spectrometry measurements at the Moon (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Imaging spectrometer observations were made of the surface of the Moon during the December 1990 flyby of the Earth-Moon system by the Galileo spacecraft. This article documents this data set and presents analyses of some of the data. The near infrared mapping spectrometer (NIMS) investigation obtained 17 separate mosaics of the Moon in 408 spectral channels between about 0.7 and 5.2 micrometers. The instrument was originally designed to operate in orbit about Jupiter and therefore saturates at many spectral channels for most measurement situations at 1 AU. However, sufficient measurements were made of the Moon to verify the proper operation of the instrument and to demonstrate its capabilities. Analysis of these data show that the NIMS worked as expected and produced measurements consistent with previous ground-based telescopic studies. These are the first imaging spectrometer measurements of this type from space for the Moon, and they illustrate several major points concerning this type of observation and about the NIMS capabilities specifically. Of major importance are the difference between framing and scanning instruments and the effects of the spacecraft and the scan platform on the performance of such and experiment. The science return of subsequent NIMS and other investigation measurements will be significantly enhanced by the experience and results gained.
