AB Red-faced Cormorants (Phalacrocorax urile) are North Pacific endemics recognized as a vulnerable species, but little is known about their breeding ecology. We studied Red-faced Cormorants on St. Paul Island, Alaska, from 1975 to 2009, with more detailed data collected in 2004 and 2005. Mean clutch sizes in 2004 (3.2 +/- 0.8 [SD] eggs) and 2005 (3.1 +/- 0.8 eggs) were similar to the long-term average (2.9 +/- 0.3 eggs from 1976 to 2009). The mean laying interval in 2004 and 2005 was 2.15 +/- 0.80 d (N= 407), and the mean egg period (number of days between laying of an egg and hatching) was 31.1 +/- 1.4 d (N= 158). Approximately 64 +/- 17% of eggs hatched during the period from 1975 to 2009. The mean number of chicks per nest in 2004 and 2005 was 2.8 +/- 0.8 (N= 232), and the mean number of fledglings per initiated nest in all years was 1.22 +/- 0.52. Chicks fledged 46 to 66 d posthatching. In 2004 and 2005, the primary causes of egg loss were predation by Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) and destruction of eggs and abandonment of nests due to storms. Starvation was the primary cause of nestling mortality in both years. Because chicks are dependent on parents to provide food for over 45 d, consistent near-shore foraging opportunities must be available. From 1975 to 2009, Red-faced Cormorants experienced only 1 yr of complete reproductive failure (1984). The consistent reproductive success of Red-faced Cormorants suggests that conditions may be relatively stable for this species on St. Paul Island, or that the variability in their breeding ecology (e.g., phenology, clutch sizes, and incubation strategies) provides the flexibility needed to successfully fledge some chicks nearly every year. RESUMEN Phalacrocorax urile es una especies endemica del Pacifico norte y reconocida como vulnerable, pero poco se conoce sobre su ecologia reproductiva. Estudiamos P. urile en la isla St. Paul, Alaska, desde 1975 hasta 2009, con datos colectados mas detalladamente en 2004 y 2005. El tamano promedio de la nidada en el 2004 (3.2 +/- 0.8 [SD] huevos) y en el 2005 (3.1 +/- 0.8 huevos) fueron similares a el promedio a lo largo del estudio (2.9 +/- 0.3 huevos desde 19762009). El intervalo promedio de la puesta en 2004 y 2005 fue 2.15 +/- 0.80 d (N= 407), y el promedio del periodo de huevos (numero de dias entre la puesta del primer huevo y la eclosion) fue 31.1 +/- 1.4 d (N= 158). Aproximadamente 64 +/- 17% de los huevo eclosionaron exitosamente en el periodo comprendido entre 1975 y 2009. El numero promedio de polluelos por nido en 2004 y 2005 fue de 2.8 +/- 0.8 (N= 232), y el numero promedio de volantones que salieron por nido activo en todos los anos fue de 1.22 +/- 0.52. Los polluelos salieron del nido entre 46 y 66 dias despues de haber eclosionado. En 2004 y 2005, la principal causa de perdida de huevos fue la depredacion por parte del zorro artico (Vulpes lagopus), y destruccion de huevos y abandono de nidos debido a tormentas. Desnutricion fue la primera causa de mortalidad de polluelos en ambos anos. Debido a que los polluelos dependen de los padres para alimentarse por mas de 45 dias, la disponibilidad de areas para buscar alimento cerca a la orilla es importante. Desde 1975 hasta 2009, P. urile experimento un solo ano de completo fracaso reproductivo (1984). El constante exito reproductivo de P. urile sugiere que las condiciones para esta especie son relativamente estables en la isla St. Paul o que la variabilidad en su ecologia reproductiva (e.g.
, fenologia, tamano de la nidada y estrategias de incubacion) provee la flexibilidad necesaria para que salgan exitosamente algunos polluelos del nido cada ano.

AB This is the third of a series of articles reporting critically evaluated rotational-vibrational line positions, transition intensities, and energy levels, with associated critically reviewed labels and uncertainties, for all the main isotopologues of water. This paper presents experimental line positions, experimental-quality energy levels, and validated labels for rotational-vibrational transitions of the most abundant isotopologue of water, (H2O)-O-16. The latest version of the MARVEL (Measured Active Rotational-Vibrational Energy Levels) line-inversion procedure is used to g determine the rovibrational energy levels of the electronic ground state of (H2O)-O-16 from experimentally measured lines, together with their self-consistent uncertainties, for the spectral region up to the first dissociation limit. The spectroscopic network of (H2O)-O-16 contains two components, an ortho (o) and a para (p) one. For o-(H2O)-O-16 and p-(H2O)-O-16, experimentally measured, assigned, and labeled transitions were analyzed from more than 100 sources. The measured lines come from one-photon spectra recorded at room temperature in absorption, from hot samples with temperatures up to 3000 K recorded in emission, and from multiresonance excitation spectra which sample levels up to dissociation. The total number of transitions considered is 184 667 of which 182 156 are validated: 68 027 between para states and 114 129 ortho ones. These transitions give rise to 18 486 validated energy levels, of which 10 446 and 8040 belong to o-(H2O)-O-16 and p-(H2O)-O-16, respectively. The energy levels, including their labeling with approximate normal-mode and rigid-rotor quantum numbers, have been checked against ones determined from accurate variational nuclear motion computations employing exact kinetic energy operators as well as against previous compilations of energy levels. The extensive list of MARVEL lines and levels obtained are deposited in the supplementary data of this paper, as well as in a distributed information system applied to water, W@DIS, where they can easily be retrieved.

AB The Markov chain method is developed for polarized radiative transfer in a pseudo-spherical atmosphere with solar illumination. This solution is then used as an initial guess of the radiation field for a spherical atmosphere. By use of the short characteristic method, a convergent radiation field throughout the atmosphere is achieved after a few Picard iterations. We verified this hybrid method by comparing numerical results to those obtained by a backward Monte Carlo calculation. We carried out a demonstration calculation by simulating the Titan haze reflected intensity land Stokes parameter Q and degree of linear polarization at 934.8 nm wavelength. Comparison of the I and Q images to those measured by the Imaging Science Subsystem instrument on the Cassini spacecraft shows the hybrid method to be useful for radiative transfer analyses for (both optically and physically) thick spherical atmospheres.

AB Light ion (H and He isotopes) and neutron production in galactic cosmic ray interactions are important for space radiation analyses. They occur via strong or electromagnetic dissociation (EMD) interactions. A parameterization for single nucleon, multiple nucleon and light ion production in EMD is developed in this paper. It supersedes the previous work in the following ways. Firstly, the calculations are compared to a more extensive set of experimental data. Secondly, EMD calculations for alpha particle production are in better agreement with experiment. Thirdly, a parameterization of multiple nucleon removal is developed and compared to data. Overall, the present work includes more reactions and compares better to experimental data than previous work. Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI OBSERVATION OF COSMIC-RAY ANISOTROPY WITH THE ICETOP AIR SHOWER ARRAY

AB We report on the observation of anisotropy in the arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays at PeV energies. The analysis is based on data taken between 2009 and 2012 with the IceTop air shower array at the south pole. IceTop, an integral part of the IceCube detector, is sensitive to cosmic rays between 100 TeV and 1 EeV. With the current size of the IceTop data set, searches for anisotropy at the 10(-3) level can, for the first time, be extended to PeV energies. We divide the data set into two parts with median energies of 400 TeV and 2 PeV, respectively. In the low energy band, we observe a strong deficit with an angular size of about 30 degrees and an amplitude of (-1.58 +/- 0.46(stat) +/- 0.52(sys)) x 10(-3) at a location consistent with previous observations of cosmic rays with the IceCube neutrino detector. The study of the high energy band shows that the anisotropy persists to PeV energies and increases in amplitude to (-3.11 +/- 0.38(stat) +/- 0.96(sys)) x 10(-3).

AB The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is a pair-conversion telescope designed to detect photons with energies from approximate to 20 MeV to > 300 GeV. The pre-launch response functions of the LAT were determined through extensive Monte Carlo simulations and beam tests. The point-spread function (PSF) characterizing the angular distribution of reconstructed photons as a function of energy and geometry in the detector is determined here from two years of on-orbit data by examining the distributions of gamma rays from pulsars and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Above 3 GeV, the PSF is found to be broader than the pre-launch PSF. We checked for dependence of the PSF on the class of gamma-ray source and observation epoch and found none. We also investigated several possible spatial models for pair-halo emission around BL Lac AGNs. We found no evidence for a component with spatial extension larger than the PSF and set upper limits on the amplitude of halo emission in stacked images of low-and high-redshift BL Lac AGNs and the TeV blazars 1ES0229 + 200 and 1ES0347-121.

AB Voyager 2 (V2) was in the heliosheath during 2010, at (91.0-94.2) AU from the Sun and at the latitudes (28 degrees.8-29 degrees.3 S) AU, observing solar wind that left the Sun during 2009, when solar activity was very low. There was no feature in B(t) associated with the changes in the plasma parameters observed near 2010.4. The CR-B relation was satisfied. The fluctuations of daily averages of B showed (1) a Gaussian distribution of B, (2) a q-Gaussian of the daily increments of B with q = 1.6, (3) a power-law correlation of B on scales from 1 to 16 days, (4) multifractal structure of B on scales from 1 to 8 days, and (5) a 1/f spectrum of B on scales from 1 to 100 days. The amplitude of the compressive microscale fluctuations of B during several hours on each day is described by the standard deviation (SD) of the 48 s averages of B during the day. Items 2, 3, and 4 determine a "q-triplet" in the heliosheath. Large-scale fluctuations of SD show (1) a lognormal distribution of SD; (2) an average value of SD = 0.19, 20% of the average B; (3) a q-Gaussian distribution of the increments of SD with q = 1.4; (4) a power-law correlation on scales from 1 to 16 days; and (5) a 1/f spectrum on scales from 1 to 100 days. The heliosheath was in a quasi-stationary, metastable equilibrium state with well-defined structure over a wide range of scales near V2 during 2010.

AB In this, the final installment in a three-part series on the Thomson surface, we present simulated observations of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed by a hypothetical polarizing white light heliospheric imager. Thomson scattering yields a polarization signal that can be exploited to locate observed features in three dimensions relative to the Thomson surface. We consider how the appearance of the CME changes with the direction of trajectory, using simulations of a simple geometrical shape and also of a more realistic CME generated using the ENLIL model. We compare the appearance in both unpolarized B and polarized pB light, and show that there is a quantifiable difference in the measured brightness of a CME between unpolarized and polarized observations. We demonstrate a technique for using this difference to extract the three-dimensional (3D) trajectory of large objects such as CMEs. We conclude with a discussion on how a polarizing heliospheric imager could be used to extract 3D trajectory information about CMEs or other observed features.

AB We present the optical and X-ray properties of 68 galaxy clusters selected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect at 148 GHz by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Our sample, from an area of 504 deg(2) centered on the celestial equator, is divided into two regions. The main region uses 270 deg(2) of the ACT survey that overlaps with the co-added ugriz imaging from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) over Stripe 82 plus additional near-infrared pointed observations with the Apache Point Observatory 3.5 m telescope. We confirm a total of 49 clusters to z approximate to 1.3, of which 22 (all at z > 0.55) are new discoveries. For the second region, the regular-depth SDSS imaging allows us to confirm 19 more clusters up to z approximate to 0.7, of which 10 systems are new. We present the optical richness, photometric redshifts, and separation between the SZ position and the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG). We find no significant offset between the cluster SZ centroid and BCG location and a weak correlation between optical richness and SZ-derived mass. We also present X-ray fluxes and luminosities from the ROSAT All Sky Survey which confirm that this is a massive sample. One of the newly discovered clusters, ACT-CL J0044.4+0113 at z = 1.1 (photometric), has an integrated XMM-Newton X-ray temperature of kT(X) = 7.9 +/- 1.0 keV and combined mass of M-200a = 8.2(-2.5)(+3.3) x 10(14) h(70)(-1) M-circle dot, placing it among the most massive and X-ray-hot clusters known at redshifts beyond z = 1. We also highlight the optically rich cluster ACT-CL J2327.4-0204 (RCS2 2327) at z = 0.705 (spectroscopic) as the most significant detection of the whole equatorial sample with a Chandra-derived mass of M-200a = 1.9(-0.4)(+0.6) x 10(15) h(70)(-1) M-circle dot, placing it in the ranks of the most massive known clusters like El Gordo and the Bullet Cluster.

AB The design and performance of a wide bandwidth linear polarization modulator based on the Faraday effect is described. Faraday Rotation Modulators (FRMs) are solid-state polarization switches that are capable of modulation up to 10 kHz. Six FRMs were utilized during the 2006 observing season in the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (BICEP) experiment; three FRMs were used at each of BICEP's 100 and 150 GHz frequency bands. The technology was verified through high signal-to-noise detection of Galactic polarization using two of the six FRMs during four observing runs in 2006. The features exhibit strong agreement with BICEP's measurements of the Galaxy using non-FRM pixels and with the Galactic polarization models. This marks the first detection of high signal-to-noise mm-wave celestial polarization using fast, active optical modulation. The performance of the FRMs during periods when they were not modulated was also analyzed and compared to results from BICEP's 43 pixels without FRMs.

AB Non-thermal radio emission from cosmic-ray electrons in the vicinity of merging galaxy clusters is an important tracer of cluster merger activity, and is the result of complex physical processes that involve magnetic fields, particle acceleration, gas dynamics, and radiation. In particular, objects known as radio relics are thought to be the result of shock-accelerated electrons that, when embedded in a magnetic field, emit synchrotron radiation in the radio wavelengths. In order to properly model this emission, we utilize the adaptive mesh refinement simulation of the magnetohydrodynamic evolution of a galaxy cluster from cosmological initial conditions. We locate shock fronts and apply models of cosmic-ray electron acceleration that are then input into radio emission models. We have determined the thermodynamic properties of this radio-emitting plasma and constructed synthetic radio observations to compare observed galaxy clusters. We find a significant dependence of the observed morphology and radio relic properties on the viewing angle of the cluster, raising concerns regarding the interpretation of observed radio features in clusters. We also find that a given shock should not be characterized by a single Mach number. We find that the bulk of the radio emission comes from gas with T > 5 x 10(7) K, rho similar to 10(-28)-10(-27) g cm(-3), with magnetic field strengths of 0.1-1.0 mu G, and shock Mach numbers of M similar to 3-6. We present an analysis of the radio spectral index which suggests that the spatial variation of the spectral index can mimic synchrotron aging. Finally, we examine the polarization fraction and position angle of the simulated radio features, and compare to observations.

AB We present results from our analysis of Chandra X-Ray Observatory, W. M. Keck Observatory, and Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) images of the Crab Nebula that were contemporaneous with the gamma-ray flare of 2011 April. Despite hints in the X-ray data, we find no evidence for statistically significant variations that pinpoint the specific location of the flares within the Nebula. The Keck observations extend this conclusion to the "inner knot," i.e., the feature within an arcsecond of the pulsar. The VLA observations support this conclusion. We also discuss theoretical implications of the gamma-ray flares and suggest that the most dramatic gamma-ray flares are due to radiation-reaction-limited synchrotron emission associated with sudden, dissipative changes in the current system sustained by the central pulsar.

AB The microcrack distribution and mass change in T700s/PR520 and T700s/3502 carbon/epoxy braided composites exposed to thermal cycling was evaluated experimentally. Acoustic emission was utilized to record the crack initiation and propagation under cyclic thermal loading between 55 degrees C and 120 degrees C. Transverse microcrack morphology was investigated using X-ray computed tomography. The differing performance of two kinds of composites was discovered and analyzed. Based on the observations of microcrack formation, a meso-mechanical finite element model was developed to obtain the resultant mechanical properties. The simulation results exhibited a decrease in strength and stiffness with increasing crack density. Strength and stiffness reduction versus crack densities in different orientations were compared. The changes of global mechanical behavior in both axial and transverse loading conditions were studied. By accounting for the obtained reduction of mechanical properties, a macro-mechanical finite element model was utilized to investigate the influence of microcracking on the high-speed impact behavior.

AB A model is developed to describe the void dynamics within thermoplastic composite tape during the tape placement process. The model relates the volatile pressure in voids, the applied compaction load, fiber bed response and the resin pressure due to squeeze-flow of resin from resin-rich regions to fill void regions. This model relies on some geometric simplifications, but incorporates the relevant physical phenomena.
This void consolidation model was implemented in a numerical code which predicts the void development during the process. The initial void geometry can be introduced either manually, using a random generation algorithm or from actual processed tape micrographs.
The model predicts that the final void content depends on the original void content but also on the initial void distribution. Presented results analyze the influence of void distribution on tape consolidation. Limitations of the consolidation process rate by the resin squeeze flow pressures are clearly demonstrated.

AB Many decades of experimental and theoretical research on the origin of life have yielded important discoveries regarding the chemical and physical conditions under which organic compounds can be synthesized and polymerized. However, such conditions often seem mutually exclusive, because they are rarely encountered in a single environmental setting. As such, no convincing models explain how living cells formed from abiotic constituents. Here, we propose a new approach that considers the origin of life within the global context of the Hadean Earth. We review previous ideas and synthesize them in four central hypotheses: (i) Multiple microenvironments contributed to the building blocks of life, and these niches were not necessarily inhabitable by the first organisms; (ii) Mineral catalysts were the backbone of prebiotic reaction networks that led to modern metabolism; (iii) Multiple local and global transport processes were essential for linking reactions occurring in separate locations; (iv) Global diversity and local selection of reactants and products provided mechanisms for the generation of most of the diverse building blocks necessary for life. We conclude that no single environmental setting can offer enough chemical and physical diversity for life to originate. Instead, any plausible model for the origin of life must acknowledge the geological complexity and diversity of the Hadean Earth. Future research may therefore benefit from identifying further linkages between organic precursors, minerals, and fluids in various environmental contexts.

AB Predictions from conventional large-eddy simulation (LES) are known to be grid-spacing and spatial-discretization-order dependent. In a previous article (Radhakrishnan & Bellan, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 697, 2012 a, pp. 399-435), we reformulated LES for compressible single-phase flow by explicitly filtering the nonlinear terms in the governing equations so as to render the solution grid-spacing and discretization-order independent. Having shown in Radhakrishnan & Bellan (2012 a) that the reformulated LES, which we call EFLES, yields grid-spacing-independent and discretization-order-independent solutions for compressible single-phase flow, we explore here the potential of EFLES for evaporating two-phase flow where the small scales have an additional origin compared to single-phase flow. Thus, we created a database through direct numerical simulation (DNS) that when filtered serves as a template for comparisons with both conventional LES and EFLES. Both conventional LES and EFLES are conducted with two gas-phase SGS models; the drop-field SGS model is the same in all these simulations. For EFLES, we also compared simulations performed with the same SGS model for the gas phase but two different drop-field SGS models. Moreover, to elucidate the influence of explicit filtering versus gas-phase SGS modelling, EFLES with two drop-field SGS models but no gas-phase SGS models were conducted. The results from all these simulations were compared to those from DNS and from the filtered DNS (FDNS). Similar to the single-phase flow findings, the conventional LES method yields solutions which are both grid-spacing and spatial-discretization-order dependent. The EFLES solutions are found to be grid-spacing independent for sufficiently large filter-width to grid-spacing ratio, although for the highest discretization order this ratio is larger in the two-phase flow compared to the single-phase flow. For a sufficiently fine grid, the results are also discretization-order independent. The absence of a gas-phase SGS model leads to build-up of energy near the filter cut-off indicating that while explicit filtering removes energy above the filter width, it does not provide the correct dissipation at the scales smaller than this width. A wider viewpoint leads to the conclusion that although the minimum filter-width to grid-spacing ratio necessary to obtain the unique grid-independent solution might be different for various discretization-order schemes, the grid-independent solution thus obtained is also discretization-order independent.

AB In mechanical, aerospace and civil structures, cracks are important defects that can cause catastrophes if neglected. Visual inspection is currently the predominant method for crack assessment. This approach is tedious, labor-intensive, subjective and highly qualitative. An inexpensive alternative to current monitoring methods is to use a robotic system that could perform autonomous crack detection and quantification. To reach this goal, several image-based crack detection approaches have been developed; however, the crack thickness quantification, which is an essential element for a reliable structural condition assessment, has not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, a new contact-less crack quantification methodology, based on computer vision and image processing concepts, is introduced and evaluated against a crack quantification approach which was previously developed by the authors. The proposed approach in this study utilizes depth perception to quantify crack thickness and, as opposed to most previous studies, needs no scale attachment to the region under inspection, which makes this approach ideal for incorporation with autonomous or semi-autonomous mobile inspection systems. Validation tests are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, and the results show that the new proposed approach outperforms the previously developed one.

AB Due to market and regulatory factors, Rajidae skates are routinely discarded by commercial otter trawlers in the western North Atlantic. Accounting for post-release mortality is therefore essential to total fishing mortality estimates, stock status and management of this group of fishes. However, despite a presumed species-specific range in tolerance, few studies have investigated the short-term post-release mortality among skates indigenous to the western North Atlantic following capture by mobile fishing gears, and never in the Gulf of Maine. This study addresses this shortfall for the prohibited thorny skate, Amblyraja radiate and smooth skate, Malacoraja senta, and the targeted winter skate, Leucoraja ocellata, and little skate, Leucoraja erinacea. Of 1288 skates evaluated, negligible immediate mortality was observed at the time of capture, even in relation to the largest catches and/or most prolonged tows. However, injury frequency was moderate, with highest levels in the smooth (60%) and thorny (52%) skates. Aside from the smooth skate (59%), 72 h mortality rates were low overall (19% across all species when accounting tow durations indicative of the fishery), with the winter skate (8%) exhibiting the lowest levels. Logistic regression modeling revealed tow duration as the most universal predictor of condition and 72 h mortality, while catch biomass, sex, temperature changes, and animal size also held influence in certain species. Although in general the studied species appear more resilient to trawl capture and handling than previously estimated, interspecific differences must be accounted for when managing this group.

The range of delta C-13 values (similar to 34.6 parts per thousand to similar to 22.1 parts per thousand VPDB) among the 46 individuals analyzed falls within that expected for photoautotrophic carbon fixation by ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCO), consistent with morphology-based taxonomic assignments for these specimens. Microfossils classified as cyanobacteria from the Gunflint, Bitter Springs, and Min'yar Formations (for which published carbonate carbon isotope data can be used to estimate the delta C-13 of the original dissolved inorganic carbon substrate) exhibit a consistent similar to 19 parts per thousand total fractionation (delta C-13 of dissolved inorganic carbon - delta C-13 of biomass) similar to that observed in living cyanobacteria, over a wide range of delta C-13(carb) values (similar to 2.9 parts per thousand to 3.4 parts per thousand). In stromatolitic chert of the Min'yar Formation, morphologically diverse microfossils preserved in a similar to 1 mm(2) part of a microbial mat exhibit systematic isotopic differences among and within taxa that correlate with their morphologically inferred biological affinities and suggest that isotopic signatures of their original biosynthetic processes (e. g., lipid and peptidoglycan synthesis) are preserved. Isotopic offsets consistent with the different RuBisCO-based fractionations typical of cyanobacteria and photosynthetic eukaryotes are documented by the differing delta C-13 values of a colonial cyanobacterium (-22.6 +/- 0.5 parts per thousand) and a phytoplanktonic protistan acritarch (-28.9 +/- 1.0 parts per thousand) situated < 1 cm apart in the stromatolitic Chichkan chert. These findings show for the first time the possibility of using in situ isotopic microanalysis of fossil microbial mats and ancient sediments in order to distinguish metabolic fingerprints within complex microbial ecosystems and consortia.

AB The microstructure and properties of a precipitation-hardenable Ni-48Ti-25Pd (at. pct) shape memory alloy have been investigated as a function of various aging conditions. Both the hardness and martensitic transformation temperatures increased with increasing aging time up to 100 hours at 673 K (400 A degrees C), while no discernable differences were observed after heat treatment at 823 K (550 A degrees C), except for a slight decrease in hardness. For aging at 673 K (400 A degrees C), these effects were attributed to the formation of nano-scale precipitates, while precipitation was absent in the 823 K (550 A degrees C) heat-treated specimens. The precipitation-strengthened alloy exhibited stable pseudoelastic behavior and load-biased-shape memory response with little or no residual strains. The precipitates had a monoclinic base-centered structure, which is the same structure as the P-phase recently reported in Ni(Pt)-rich NiTiPt alloys. 3D atom probe analysis revealed that the precipitates were slightly enriched in Ni and deficient in Pd and Ti as compared with the bulk alloy. The increase in martensitic transformation temperatures and the superior dimensional stability during shape memory and pseudoelastic testing are attributed to the fine precipitate phase and its effect on matrix chemistry, local stress state because of the coherent interface, and the ability to effectively strengthen the alloy against slip.

AB NASA's Constellation Program, formulated in 2005 to achieve the objectives of maintaining American presence in low Earth orbit, returning to the Moon for purpose of establishing an outpost, and exploring Mars and beyond in the first half of the 21st century, was cancelled in 2010 [US Congress, NASA Authorization Act, Public Law 11-267, 2010]. This paper describes the lessons learned developed by the staff of the Constellation Program to advise future programs, as well as program and system engineering managers of similar national efforts. These lessons learned are offered by those who experienced the day-to-day challenges of managing an effort planned as a multidecade undertaking. This effort spanned all 10 NASA Centers, multiple large-scale acquisitions, and required modernizing an infrastructure designed and sized largely for the Apollo program in the 1960s. Moreover, it required leading a workforce generationally removed from the previous human spacecraft launch and entry development challenges. Key lessons learned from the Constellation Program are addressed and cover program elements in which systems engineers provide leadership and/or assistance to program management, including program planning, requirements development, system design methodology, management structure, decision-making, and communications in a national program.

AB Background: To reduce bubble formation and growth during hypobaric exposures, a denitrogenation or nitrogen "washout" procedure is performed. This procedure consists of prebreathing oxygen fractions as close to one as possible (oxygen prebreathe) prior to depressurization before ascending to the working altitude or low spacesuit pressures. During the NASA prebreathe reduction program (PRP), it was determined that the addition of a light arm exercise to short, individually designed, performance-based heavy exercise (dual cycle ergometry) during an abbreviated 2-h prebreathe (F1O2 similar to 1.0) reduced the occurrence of decompression sickness (DCS). Heavy-exercise-induced DCS reduction is likely to be related to the enhancement of the tissue nitrogen washout during the oxygen prebreathe. In addition to the heavy-exercise-induced microcirculatory adaptation, we hypothesized that the light exercise would not cause sufficient microcirculatory changes in the limbs to explain alone this further DCS protection. We evaluated microcirculatory changes as minimal by replicating the exercise characteristics of the PRP trials in 13 healthy subjects. Methods: Noninvasive near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) allowed observation of instantaneous variations of total, oxygenated, and deoxygenated hemoglobin/myoglobin concentrations in the microcirculatory networks (probes facing the vastus lateralis and deltoid muscles) of active limbs during dynamic exercise. Results: The high-intensity leg exercise alone produced the changes in NIRS parameters; the light arm exercise induced minimal microcirculatory volume changes. However, this coupling appeared to be critical in previous altitude PRP chamber studies by reducing DCS. Discussion: With only minimal microcirculatory blood volume changes, it is unlikely that light exercise alone causes significant nitrogen tissue washout. Therefore, our results suggest that in addition to nitrogen tissue washout, another unknown exercise-induced effect may have further enhanced the DCS protection, possibly mediated via the anti-inflammatory effect of exercise, gas micronuclei reduction, NO pathways, or other molecular mechanisms.

AB In spaceflight beyond low Earth's orbit, medical conditions requiring surgery are of a high level of concern because of their potential impact on crew health and mission success. Whereas surgical techniques have been thoroughly studied in spaceflight analogues, the research focusing on anesthesia is limited. To provide safe anesthesia during an exploration mission will be a highly challenging task. The research objective is thus to describe specific anesthesia procedures enabling treatment of pre-identified surgical conditions. Among the medical conditions considered by the NASA Human Research Program Exploration Medical Capability element, those potentially necessitating anesthesia techniques have been identified. The most appropriate procedure for each condition is thoroughly discussed. The substantial cost of training time necessary to implement regional anesthesia is pointed out. Within general anesthetics, ketamine combines the unique advantages of preservation of cardiovascular stability, the protective airway reflexes, and spontaneous ventilation. Ketamine side effects have for decades tempered enthusiasm for its use, but recent developments in mitigation means broadened its indications. The extensive experience gathered in remote environments, with minimal equipment and occasionally by insufficiently trained care providers, confirms its high degree of safety. Two ketamine-based anesthesia protocols are described with their corresponding indications. They have been designed taking into account the physiological changes occurring in microgravity and the specific constraints of exploration missions. This investigation could not only improve surgical care during long-duration spaceflights, but may find a number of terrestrial applications in isolated or austere environments.

AB Over the past 50 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has interacted with numerous advisory committees. These committees include those established by NASA, the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, or through Congressional oversight. Such groups have had a relatively passive role while providing sage advice on a variety of important issues. While these groups cover a wide range of disciplines, the focus of this paper is on those that impacted aerospace medicine and human spaceflight from NASA's beginning to the present time. The intent is to provide an historical narrative of the committees, their purpose, their outcome, and how they influenced the development of aerospace medicine within NASA. Aerospace medicine and life sciences have been closely aligned and intertwined from NASA's beginning. While several committees overlap life sciences within NASA, life sciences will not be presented unless it is in direct reference to aerospace medicine. This paper provides an historical summary chronicling those individuals and the groups they led when aerospace medicine was emerging as a discipline for human spaceflight beginning in 1957.

AB NASA Earth and space images have traditionally been difficult to mine by non-remote sensing researchers; often only available in specialized, non-generic formats, they also do not always provide sufficient context for users unfamiliar with the NASA domain to understand their content and their challenges. This paper describes a new database and its associated website, called IMAGESEER (IMAGEs for Science, Education, Experimentation and Research), that seeks to address these issues. Through a graphical web site for browsing and downloading data, IMAGESEER provides a widely accessible database of NASA-centric, easy to read image data for teaching or validating new Image Processing algorithms. Although other NASA image databases exist, none is focused on the goal of providing validation of new and old image processing algorithms. The first IMAGESEER prototype includes a representative sampling of NASA multispectral and hyperspectral images from several Earth Science instruments, along with a few small tutorials. Image processing techniques are represented with techniques such as cloud detection, image registration, and classification. For each technique, corresponding data are selected from different geographic regions representing different image features (e.g., mountains, urban, water coastal, and agriculture areas). After geo-registration, these images are available in simple common formats such as GeoTIFF and raw formats, along with associated benchmark data.

AB The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft is currently in a highly elliptical orbit around Earth with a period near 3:1 resonance with the Moon. Its orbit is oriented so that apogee does not approach the Moon. Simulations show this orbit to be remarkably stable over the next 20 years. This article examines the dynamics of such orbits in the Circular Restricted 3-Body Problem (CR3BP). We look at three types of periodic orbits, each exhibiting a type of symmetry of the CR3BP. For each of the orbit types, we assess the local stability using Floquet analysis. Although not all of the periodic solutions are stable in the mathematical sense, any divergence is so slow as to produce practical stability over several decades. We use Poincare maps with twenty-year propagations to assess the nonlinear stability of the orbits, where the perturbation magnitudes are related to the orbit uncertainty for the IBEX mission. Finally we show that these orbits belong to a family of orbits connected in a bifurcation diagram that exhibits exchange of stability. The analysis of these families of period orbits provides a valuable starting point for a mission orbit trade study.

AB EpsteinBarr virus (EBV) is the causative agent of mononucleosis and is also associated with several malignancies, including Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, among others. EBV reactivates during spaceflight, with EBV shedding in saliva increasing to levels ten times those observed pre-and post-flight. Although stress has been shown to increase reactivation of EBV, other factors such as radiation and microgravity have been hypothesized to contribute to reactivation in space. We used a modeled spaceflight environment to evaluate the influence of radiation and microgravity on EBV reactivation. BJAB (EBV-negative) and Raji (EBV-positive) cell lines were assessed for viability/apoptosis, viral antigen and reactive oxygen species expression, and DNA damage and repair. EBV-infected cells did not experience decreased viability and increased apoptosis due to modeled spaceflight, whereas an EBV-negative cell line did, suggesting that EBV infection provided protection against apoptosis and cell death. Radiation was the major contributor to EBV ZEBRA upregulation. Combining modeled microgravity and radiation increased DNA damage and reactive oxygen species while modeled microgravity alone decreased DNA repair in Raji cells. Additionally, EBV-infected cells had increased DNA damage compared to EBV-negative cells. Since EBV-infected cells do not undergo apoptosis as readily as uninfected cells, it is possible that virus-infected cells in EBV seropositive individuals may have an increased risk to accumulate DNA damage during spaceflight. More studies are warranted to investigate this possibility. J. Cell. Biochem. 114: 616624, 2013. (C) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB The propagation and fission process of internal solitary waves (ISWs) with amplitudes of about 170 m are simulated in the northeast of the South China Sea (NSCS) by using the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation under continuous stratification. More attention is paid to the effects of the ebb and flood background currents on the fission process of ISWs. This kind of background current is provided by the composed results simulated in terms of monthly mean baroclinic circulation and barotropic tidal current. It is found that the obtained relation of the number of fission solitons to the water depth and stratification is roughly in accordance with the fission law derived by Djordjevic and Redekopp in 1978; however, there exists obvious difference between the effects of the ebb and flood background currents on the wave-lengths of fission solitons (defined as the distance between two neighboring peaks of ISWs). The difference in nonlinearity coefficient alpha between the ebb and flood background currents is a main cause for the different wave-lengths of fission solitons.

TI A framework for testing first-order logic axioms in program verification
SO SOFTWARE QUALITY JOURNAL
LA English
DT Article
DE Model-based testing; Program verification; Automated theorem proving;
Property-based testing; Constraint solving
AB Program verification systems based on automated theorem provers rely on user-provided axioms in order to verify domain-specific properties of code. However, formulating axioms correctly (that is, formalizing properties of an intended mathematical interpretation) is non-trivial in practice, and avoiding or even detecting unsoundness can sometimes be difficult to achieve. Moreover, speculating soundness of axioms based on the output of the provers themselves is not easy since they do not typically give counterexamples. We adopt the idea of model-based testing to aid axiom authors in discovering errors in axiomatizations. To test the validity of axioms, users define a computational model of the axiomatized logic by giving interpretations to the function symbols and constants in a simple declarative programming language. We have developed an axiom testing framework that helps automate model definition and test generation using off-the-shelf tools for meta-programming, property-based random testing, and constraint solving. We have experimented with our tool to test the axioms used in AUTO-CERT, a program verification system that has been applied to verify aerospace flight code using a first-order axiomatization of navigational concepts, and were able to find counterexamples for a number of axioms.

TI CryoSat-2 estimates of Arctic sea ice thickness and volume
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
AB Satellite records show a decline in ice extent over more than three decades, with a record minimum in September 2012. Results from the Pan-Arctic Ice-Ocean Modelling and Assimilation system (PIOMAS) suggest that the decline in extent has been accompanied by a decline in volume, but this has not been confirmed by data. Using new data from the European Space Agency CryoSat-2 (CS-2) mission, validated with in situ data, we generate estimates of ice volume for the winters of 2010/11 and 2011/12. We compare these data with current estimates from PIOMAS and earlier (2003-8) estimates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ICESat mission. Between the ICESat and CryoSat-2 periods, the autumn volume declined by 4291 km(3) and the winter volume by 1479 km(3). This exceeds the decline in ice volume in the central Arctic from the PIOMAS model of 2644 km(3) in the autumn, but is less than the 2091 km(3) in winter, between the two time periods.

AB A sub-Arctic "hot spot" of intense synoptic-scale variability is observed in the Lofoten Basin (LB) of the Norwegian Sea. Using ERS-1/2 and Envisat satellite altimetry measurements, we discover a cyclonic propagation of the synoptic-scale sea surface height anomalies around the center of the LB. Surface drifter trajectories do not reveal an associated coherent near-surface cyclonic flow suggesting that the propagating signals have a wavelike nature. We identify a dipole and a quadrupole wave modes rotating around the center of the LB, obtain analytic dispersion relations for these modes, and demonstrate that the observed propagation is a manifestation of topographic Rossby waves. Most of the observed waves have a wavelength of about 500 km and phase speeds ranging from 2 to 10 km/day. We show that these waves are largely responsible for the localization and amplification of sea surface height variability in the center of the LB. Citation: Volkov, D. L., T. V. Belonenko, and V. R.

ID CLIMATE-CHANGE; MODEL; CYCLES
AB We discuss 13 real-time forecasts of global annual-mean surface temperature issued by the United Kingdom Met Office for 1 year ahead for 2000-2012. These involve statistical, and since 2008, initialized dynamical forecasts using the Met Office DePreSys system. For the period when the statistical forecast system changed little, 2000-2010, issued forecasts had a high correlation of 0.74 with observations and a root mean square error of 0.07 degrees C. However, the HadCRUT data sets against which issued forecasts were verified were biased slightly cold, especially from 2004, because of data gaps in the strongly warming Arctic. This observational cold bias was mainly responsible for a statistically significant warm bias in the 2000-2010 forecasts of 0.06 degrees C. Climate forcing data sets used in the statistical method, and verification data, have recently been modified, increasing hindcast correlation skill to 0.80 with no significant bias. Dynamical hindcasts for 2000-2011 have a similar correlation skill of 0.78 and skillfully hindcast annual mean spatial global surface temperature patterns. Such skill indicates that we have a good understanding of the main factors influencing global mean surface temperature. Citation: Folland, C. K., A. W. Colman, D. M. Smith, O. Boucher, D. E.

AB Understanding the role of contrails in the Earth's radiation budget requires an accurate characterization of their macrophysical and microphysical properties, such as cloud top temperature, optical depth, and effective particle size. These properties are derived from 2006 MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer data over the Northern Hemisphere using a bi-spectral, infrared-only retrieval technique. Contrail temperature is estimated using a quadratic relationship of flight track pressure with latitude. The results reveal distinct seasonal trends in contrail microphysical properties, with slightly greater mean optical depths and slightly smaller particle sizes during summer. The average contrail optical depth and particle effective diameter are 0.216 and 35.7 mu m, respectively. Although fewer contrails occurred at night, there are no appreciable diurnal differences in their retrieved properties. These results should help to fill the gap in our knowledge of contrail properties and will be valuable for model validation. Citation: Bedka, S. T., P. Minnis, D. P. Duda, T. L. Chee, and R.

AB Broad X-ray emission lines from neutral and partially ionized iron observed in active galaxies have been interpreted as fluorescence produced by the reflection of hard X-rays off the inner edge of an accretion disk(1-7). In this model, line broadening and distortion result from rapid rotation and relativistic effects near the black hole, the line shape being sensitive to its spin. Alternative models in which the distortions result from absorption by intervening structures provide an equally good description of the data(8,9), and there has been no general agreement on which is correct. Recent claims(10) that the black hole(11,12) (2 X 10(6) solar masses) at the centre of the galaxy NGC 1365 is rotating at close to its maximum possible speed rest on the assumption of relativistic reflection. Here we report X-ray observations of NGC 1365 that reveal the relativistic disk features through broadened Fe-line emission and an associated Compton scattering excess of 10-30 kiloelectronvolts. Using temporal and spectral analyses, we disentangle continuum changes due to time-variable absorption from reflection, which we find arises from a region within 2.5 gravitational radii of the rapidly spinning black hole. Absorption-dominated models that do not include relativistic disk reflection can be ruled out both statistically and on physical grounds.

AB Since the discovery of the first exoplanets(1,2), it has been known that other planetary systems can look quite unlike our own(3). Until fairly recently, we have been able to probe only the upper range of the planet size distribution(4,5), and, since last year, to detect planets that are the size of Earth(6) or somewhat smaller(7). Hitherto, no planets have been found that are smaller than those we see in the Solar System. Here we report a planet significantly smaller than Mercury(8). This tiny planet is the innermost of three that orbit the Sun-like host star, which we have designated Kepler-37. Owing to its extremely small size, similar to that of the Moon, and highly irradiated surface, the planet, Kepler-37b, is probably rocky with no atmosphere or water, similar to Mercury.

AB A crossed electron-gas beam system coupled to a VUV spectrometer has been used to investigate the dissociation of pyrimidine into excited atomic fragments in the impact energy range from threshold to 375 eV. Data have been made absolute using Lyman-alpha from H-2 as a secondary standard. The main features in the spectrum are the H Lyman series lines. The emission cross section of Lyman-alpha is measured to be (2.44 +/- 0.25) 10(-18) cm(2) at 100 eV impact energy. The probability of extracting C or N atoms from the ring is shown to be very small. Possible dissociation channels and excitation mechanisms in the parent molecule are discussed.

AB Seasonal and interannual variations of the Quasi-Two-Day wave s = -3 (W3) and s = -4 (W4) modes were studied with global temperature and wind data sets during 2002-2012, observed respectively by the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) and TIMED Doppler Imager (TIDI) instruments onboard the Thermosphere Ionosphere and Mesosphere Electric Dynamics (TIMED) satellite. The amplitudes of W3 and W4 are significantly enhanced during austral and boreal summer respectively. Strong W3 amplitudes are observed during January 2006 in all three components of temperature, meridional wind, and zonal wind. This is most likely related to the intensive winter planetary wave activity that led to a strong sudden stratosphere warming (SSW) event. The maximum amplitudes of W4 during the 10 years are similar to 8-9 K, similar to 40 m/s, and similar to 20 m/s for temperature, meridional, and zonal components respectively, nearly half as large as those of W3, with similar to 15 K, similar to 65 m/s, and similar to 35 m/s. In January 2008 and 2009, unusually weak W3 but strong W4 oscillations were observed, corresponding to the much weaker summer easterly jets (westward wind) than those in other years. This suggests that relatively weak summer easterly may not be able to provide sufficiently strong barotropic/baroclinic instability to amplify W3 but is favorable for the amplification of W4. The weaker magnitude values, lower peak heights, and longer life intervals of W4 than those of W3 suggest that the W4 may suffer a greater damping rate than the W3. The observations of W4 show good agreement with Rossby-gravity (4, 0) mode, which is more easily trapped in both latitude and altitude because of its lower group velocity than that of Rossby-gravity (3, 0) mode.

AB We analyze the response of the North American Monsoon (NAM) to increased greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing (emissions scenario RCP 8.5) using new simulations available through the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project version 5 (CMIP5). Changes in total monsoon season rainfall with GHG warming are small and insignificant. The models do, however, show significant declines in early monsoon season precipitation (June-July) and increases in late monsoon season (September-October) precipitation, indicating a shift in seasonality toward delayed onset and withdrawal of the monsoon. Early in the monsoon season, tropospheric warming increases vertical stability, reinforced by reductions in available surface moisture, inhibiting precipitation and delaying the onset of the monsoon. By the end of the monsoon season, moisture convergence is sufficient to overcome the warming induced stability increases, and precipitation is enhanced. Even with no change in total NAM rainfall, shifts in the seasonal distribution of precipitation within the NAM region are still likely to have significant societal and ecological consequences, reinforcing the need to not only understand the magnitude, but also the timing, of future precipitation changes.

AB We use CloudSat observations of boreal summer tropical ocean cumuliform clouds to evaluate the behavior of the non-parameterized cumuliform clouds in the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM), with a particular emphasis on deep convective clouds (DCCs). The CloudSat cloud mask and radar reflectivity profiles for cumuliform clouds are sorted by large-scale environmental variables taken from the Aqua satellite and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. The variables are total precipitable water (TPW), sea surface temperature (SST), and 500 hPa vertical velocity (W500), representing the dynamical and thermodynamical environment in which the clouds form. The sorted CloudSat profiles are then compared with NICAM profiles simulated with the Quickbeam CloudSat simulator. We first use the cloud mask to examine the transition between shallow clouds and deep clouds rooted in the planetary boundary layer. We find that NICAM simulates this transition fairly realistically. However, the transition occurs at slightly higher TPW and W500 values than the observations show. This may be indication of NICAM's inability to represent the formation of isolated narrow DCCs in marginally favorable environments. We then use simple metrics of the DCC-only radar reflectivity profiles (cloud top height, cloud top reflectivity gradient, maximum reflectivity) to quantitatively compare the observations with NICAM. The results show that while the observed and simulated results agree generally, there are some disagreements in key respects. There is disagreement on the sensitivity of cloud top height to environmental conditions and on the transition between shallow and deep clouds in environments marginally suitable for deep convection.

AB Satellite measurements from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) are used to examine the global, seasonal variations of several hydrocarbons, including carbon monoxide (CO), ethane (C2H6), acetylene (C2H2), and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). We focus on quantifying large-scale seasonal behavior from the middle troposphere to the stratosphere, particularly in the tropics, and furthermore make detailed comparisons with the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) chemistry climate model (incorporating tropospheric photochemistry, time-varying hydrocarbon emissions, and meteorological fields nudged from reanalysis). Comparisons with Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) measurements of CO are also included to understand sampling limitations of the ACE-FTS data and biases among observational data sets. Results show similar overall variability for CO, C2H6, and C2H2, with a semiannual cycle in the tropical upper troposphere related to seasonallyvarying sources and deep tropical convection, plus a maximum during Northern Hemisphere summer tied to the Asian monsoon anticyclone. These species also reveal a strong annual cycle above the tropical tropopause, tied to annual variations in the upward branch of Brewer-Dobson circulation. HCN reveals substantial differences from the other species, due to a longer photochemical lifetime and a chemical sink associated with ocean surface contact, which produces a minimum in the tropical upper troposphere not observed in the other species. For HCN, transport to the stratosphere occurs primarily through the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone. Overall, the WACCM simulation is able to reproduce most of the large-scale features observed in the ACE-FTS data, suggesting a reasonable simulation of sources and large-scale transport. The model is too low in the Southern Hemisphere subtropics during Austral spring, which indicates underestimate of biomass burning emissions and/or insufficient vertical transport in the model.

AB Estimates of surface fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) can be derived from atmospheric CO2 concentration measurements through the solution of an inverse problem, but the sparseness of the existing CO2 monitoring network is often cited as a main limiting factor in constraining fluxes. Existing methods for assessing or designing monitoring networks either primarily rely on expert knowledge, or are sensitive to the large number of modeling choices and assumptions inherent to the solution of inverse problems. This study proposes a monitoring network evaluation and design approach based on the quantification of the spatial variability in modeled atmospheric CO2. The approach is used to evaluate the 2004-2008 North American network expansion and to create two hypothetical further expansions. The less stringent expansion guarantees a monitoring tower within one correlation length (CL) of each location (1 CL), requiring an additional eight towers relative to 2008. The more stringent network includes a tower within one half of a CL (1/2 CL) and requires 35 towers beyond the 1 CL network. The two proposed networks are evaluated against the network in 2008, which temporarily had the most continuous monitoring sites in North America thanks to the Mid-Continent Intensive project. Evaluation using a synthetic data inversion shows a marked improvement in the ability to constrain both continental-and biome-scale fluxes, especially in areas that are currently under-sampled. The proposed approach is flexible, computationally inexpensive, and provides a quantitative design tool that can be used in concert with existing tools to inform atmospheric monitoring needs.

AB Estimates of surface fluxes of carbon monoxide (CO) inferred from remote sensing observations or free tropospheric trace gas measurements using global chemical transport models can have significant uncertainties because of discrepancies in the vertical transport in the models, which make it challenging to unequivocally relate the observations back to the surface fluxes in the models. The new Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) version 5 retrievals provide greater sensitivity to lower tropospheric CO over land relative to the previous versions and are, therefore, useful for evaluating vertical transport in models. We have assimilated the new MOPITT CO retrievals, using the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS)-Chem model, to study the influence of vertical transport errors on inferred CO sources. We compared the source estimates obtained by assimilating the CO profiles, the column amounts, and the surface level retrievals for June-August 2006. The three different inversions produced large differences in the source estimates in regions of convection and strong CO emissions. The inversion using the CO profiles suggested an 85% increase in emissions in India/Southeast Asia, which exacerbated the model bias in the lower and middle troposphere, whereas using the surface level retrievals produced a 37% decrease in Indian/Southeast Asian emissions, which exacerbated the underestimate of CO in the upper troposphere. Globally, the inversion with the surface retrievals suggested a 22% reduction in emissions from the a priori estimate of 161 Tg CO/month (from combustion and the oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds), averaged in June-August 2006. The analysis results were validated with independent surface CO measurements from NOAA Global Monitoring Division (GMD) network and upper troposphere CO measurements from the Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of the Atmosphere Based on an Instrumented Container (CARIBIC). We found that the inversion with the surface retrievals agreed best with surface CO data but produced the largest discrepancy with the CARIBIC aircraft data in the upper troposphere, suggesting the influence of vertical transport errors in the model. Our results show that the comparison of the a posteriori CO distributions obtained from the inversions using the surface and profile retrievals provides a means of characterizing the potential impact of the vertical transport biases on the source estimates and the CO distribution.

AB Adhesive bonding offers many advantages over mechanical fastening, but requires certification before it can be incorporated in primary structures for commercial aviation without disbond-arrestment features or redundant load paths. Surface preparation is widely recognized as the key step to producing robust and predictable adhesive bonds. Surface preparation by laser ablation provides an alternative to the expensive, hazardous, polluting, and less precise practices used currently such as chemical-dip, manual abrasion and grit blast. This report documents preliminary testing of a surface preparation technique using laser ablation as a replacement for the chemical etch and abrasive processes currently applied to Ti-6Al-4V alloy adherends. Surface roughness and surface chemical composition were characterized using interference microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. A technique for fluorescence visualization was developed which allowed for quantitative failure mode analysis. Wedge crack extension testing in a hot, humid environment indicated the relative effectiveness of various surface treatments. Increasing ablation duty cycle reduced crack propagation and adhesive failure. Single lap shear testing showed an increase in strength and durability as laser ablation duty cycle and power were increased. Chemical analyses showed trends for surface chemical species, which correlated with improved bond strength and durability.

AB 3C 66A is an intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac object detected by the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. We present a study of the long-term variations of this blazar seen over similar to 2 yr at GeV energies with Fermi and in the optical (flux and polarization) and near infrared with the Kanata telescope. In 2008, the first year of the study, we find a correlation between the gamma-ray flux and the measurements taken with the Kanata telescope. This is in contrast to the later measurements performed during 2009-2010 which show only a weak correlation along with a gradual increase of the optical flux. We calculate an external seed photon energy density assuming that the gamma-ray emission is due to external Compton scattering. The energy density of the external photons is found to be higher by a factor of two in 2008 compared to 2009-2010. We conclude that the different behaviors observed between the first year and the later years might be explained by postulating two different emission components.

AB We present an approach for diameter control of vertically aligned ZnO nanowires (NWs) grown directly on copper substrates. Vapor-solid growth was done at 550 degrees C with solid Zn precursor under Ar/O-2 flow, and the resulting nanowires with in situ-controllable diameters ranged between 50 to 500 nm. The nanowires were observed to elongate in tip growth and diameters were directly controlled by varying the oxygen concentration. Direct growth of vertical wires on metal substrates is expected to be useful to construct piezoelectric devices and applications involving sensors and detectors.

AB For the informed design of microfluidic devices, it is important to understand transport phenomena at the microscale. This letter outlines an analytically driven approach to the design of rectangular microcavities extending perpendicular to a perfusion microchannel for applications that may include microfluidic cell culture devices. We present equations to estimate the transition from advection- to diffusion-dominant transport inside cavities as a function of the geometry and flow conditions. We also estimate the time required for molecules, such as nutrients or drugs, to travel from the microchannel to a given length into the cavity. These analytical predictions can facilitate the rational design of microfluidic devices to optimize and maintain long-term, low Peclet number environments with minimal fluid shear stress.

AB We present an original apparatus combining an acoustic levitator and a pressure-compatible process chamber. To characterize in situ the chemical and physical modifications of a levitated, single particle while heated to well-defined temperatures using a carbon dioxide laser, the chamber is interfaced to a Raman spectroscopic probe. As a proof-of-concept study, by gradually increasing the heating temperature, we observed the variations in the Raman spectra as 150 mu g of crystals of gypsum and epsomite were dehydrated in anhydrous nitrogen gas. We display spectra showing the decreasing intensities of the nu(1) symmetric and nu(3) asymmetric stretching modes of water with time and the simultaneous shift of the nu(1)(SO42-) symmetric stretch mode to higher wavenumbers. Our results demonstrate that the new apparatus is well suited to study the dehydration of levitated species such as minerals and offers potential advantages compared with previous experiments, on bulk samples.

AB We describe Algorithms for Calibration, Optimized Registration, and Nulling the Star in Angular Differential Imaging (ACORNS-ADI), a new, parallelized software package to reduce high-contrast imaging data, and its application to data from the SEEDS survey. We implement several new algorithms, including a method to register saturated images, a trimmed mean for combining an image sequence that reduces noise by up to similar to 20%, and a robust and computationally fast method to compute the sensitivity of a high-contrast observation everywhere on the field of view without introducing artificial sources. We also include a description of image processing steps to remove electronic artifacts specific to Hawaii2-RG detectors like the one used for SEEDS, and a detailed analysis of the Locally Optimized Combination of Images (LOCI) algorithm commonly used to reduce high-contrast imaging data. ACORNS-ADI is written in python. It is efficient and open-source, and includes several optional features which may improve performance on data from other instruments. ACORNS-ADI requires minimal modification to reduce data from instruments other than HiCIAO. It is freely available for download at www.github.com/t-brandt/acorns-adi under a Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license.

AB Analysis of a database of solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and associated flares over the period 1996-2007 finds well-behaved power-law relationships between the 1-8 angstrom flare X-ray fluence and CME mass and kinetic energy. We extrapolate these relationships to lower and higher flare energies to estimate the mass and energy loss due to CMEs from stellar coronae, assuming that the observed X-ray emission of the latter is dominated by flares with a frequency as a function of energy dn/dE = kE(-alpha). For solar-like stars at saturated levels of X-ray activity, the implied losses depend fairly weakly on the assumed value of alpha and are very large: (M) over dot similar to 5 x 10(-10) M-circle dot yr(-1) and (E) over dot similar to 0.1 L-circle dot. In order to avoid such large energy requirements, either the relationships between CME mass and speed and flare energy must flatten for X-ray fluence greater than or similar to 10(31) erg, or the flare-CME association must drop significantly below 1 for more energetic events. If active coronae are dominated by flares, then the total coronal energy budget is likely to be up to an order of magnitude larger than the canonical 10(-3) L-bol X-ray saturation threshold. This raises the question of what is the maximum energy a magnetic dynamo can extract from a star? For an energy budget of 1% of L-bol, the CME mass loss rate is about 5 x 10(-11) M-circle dot yr(-1).

MISSION
AB Given the considerable percentage of stars that are members of binaries or stellar multiples in the solar neighborhood, it is expected that many of these binaries host planets, possibly even habitable ones. The discovery of a terrestrial planet in the alpha Centauri system supports this notion. Due to the potentially strong gravitational interaction that an Earth-like planet may experience in such systems, classical approaches to determining habitable zones (HZ), especially in close S-type binary systems, can be rather inaccurate. Recent progress in this field, however, allows us to identify regions around the star permitting permanent habitability. While the discovery of alpha Cen Bb has shown that terrestrial planets can be detected in solar-type binary stars using current observational facilities, it remains to be shown whether this is also the case for Earth analogs in HZs. We provide analytical expressions for the maximum and rms values of radial velocity and astrometric signals, as well as transit probabilities of terrestrial planets in such systems, showing that the dynamical interaction of the second star with the planet may indeed facilitate the planets' detection. As an example, we discuss the detectability of additional Earth-like planets in the averaged, extended, and permanent HZs around both stars of the alpha Centauri system.

AB We present the discovery and detailed multi-wavelength study of a strongly lensed luminous infrared galaxy at z = 0.816. Unlike most known lensed galaxies discovered at optical or near-infrared wavelengths, this lensed source is red, (r - K-s)(AB) = 3.9, which the data presented here demonstrate is due to ongoing dusty star formation. The overall lensing magnification (a factor of 17) facilitates observations from the blue optical through to 500 mu m, fully capturing both the stellar photospheric emission and the re-processed thermal dust emission. We also present optical and near-IR spectroscopy. These extensive data show that this lensed galaxy is in many ways typical of IR-detected sources at z similar to 1, with both a total luminosity and size in accordance with other (albeit much less detailed) measurements for samples of galaxies observed in deep fields with the Spitzer telescope. Its far-infrared spectral energy distribution is well fit by local templates that are an order of magnitude less luminous than the lensed galaxy; local templates of comparable luminosity are too hot to fit. Its size (D similar to 7 kpc) is much larger than local luminous infrared galaxies, but in line with sizes observed for such galaxies at z similar to 1. The star formation appears uniform across this spatial scale. In this source, the luminosity of which is typical of sources that dominate the cosmic infrared background, we find that star formation is spatially extended and well organized, quite unlike the compact merger-driven starbursts that are typical for sources of this luminosity at z similar to 0.

TI DIAGNOSING THE TIME DEPENDENCE OF ACTIVE REGION CORE HEATING FROM THE

AB The time dependence of heating in solar active regions can be studied by analyzing the slope of the emission measure distribution coolward of the peak. In a previous study we showed that low-frequency heating can account for 0% to 77% of active region core emission measures. We now turn our attention to heating by a finite succession of impulsive events for which the timescale between events on a single magnetic strand is shorter than the cooling timescale. We refer to this scenario as a "nanoflare train" and explore a parameter space of heating and coronal loop properties with a hydrodynamic model. Our conclusions are (1) nanoflare trains are consistent with 86% to 100% of observed active region cores when uncertainties in the atomic data are properly accounted for; (2) steeper slopes are found for larger values of the ratio of the train duration Delta(H) to the post-train cooling and draining timescale Delta(C), where Delta(H) depends on the number of heating events, the event duration and the time interval between successive events (tau(C)); (3) tau(C) may be diagnosed from the width of the hot component of the emission measure provided that the temperature bins are much smaller than 0.1 dex; (4) the slope of the emission measure alone is not sufficient to provide information about any timescale associated with heating-the length and density of the heated structure must be measured for Delta(H) to be uniquely extracted from the ratio Delta(H)/Delta(C).

TI THE CONTRIBUTION OF RADIO GALAXY CONTAMINATION TO MEASUREMENTS OF THE

AB We describe in detail our characterization of the compact radio source population in 140 GHz Bolocam observations of a set of 45 massive galaxy clusters. We use a combination of 1.4 and 30 GHz data to select a total of 28 probable cluster-member radio galaxies and also to predict their 140 GHz flux densities. All of these galaxies are steep-spectrum radio sources and they are found preferentially in the cool-core clusters within our sample. In particular, 11 of the 12 brightest cluster-member radio sources are associated with cool-core systems. Although none of the individual galaxies are robustly detected in the Bolocam data, the ensemble-average flux density at 140 GHz is consistent with, but slightly lower than, the extrapolation from lower frequencies assuming a constant spectral index. In addition, our data indicate an intrinsic scatter of similar or equal to 30% around the power-law extrapolated flux densities at 140 GHz, although our data do not tightly constrain this scatter. For our cluster sample, which is composed of high-mass and moderate-redshift systems, we find that the maximum fractional change in the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signal integrated over any single cluster due to the presence of these radio sources is similar or equal to 20%, and only similar or equal to 1/4 of the clusters show a fractional change of more than 1%. The amount of contamination is strongly dependent on cluster morphology, and nearly all of the clusters with >= 1% contamination are cool-core systems. This result indicates that radio contamination is not significant compared with current noise levels in 140 GHz images of massive clusters and is in good agreement with the level of radio contamination found in previous results based on lower frequency data or simulations.

DE methods: data analysis; methods: statistical
ID GAMMA-RAY BURSTS; BINARY REGRESSION
AB This paper addresses the problem of detecting and characterizing local variability in time series and other forms of sequential data. The goal is to identify and characterize statistically significant variations, at the same time suppressing the inevitable corrupting observational errors. We present a simple nonparametric modeling technique and an algorithm implementing it-an improved and generalized version of Bayesian Blocks-that finds the optimal segmentation of the data in the observation interval. The structure of the algorithm allows it to be used in either a real-time trigger mode, or a retrospective mode. Maximum likelihood or marginal posterior functions to measure model fitness are presented for events, binned counts, and measurements at arbitrary times with known error distributions. Problems addressed include those connected with data gaps, variable exposure, extension to piecewise linear and piecewise exponential representations, multivariate time series data, analysis of variance, data on the circle, other data modes, and dispersed data. Simulations provide evidence that the detection efficiency for weak signals is close to a theoretical asymptotic limit derived by Arias-Castro et al. In the spirit of Reproducible Research all of the code and data necessary to reproduce all of the figures in this paper are included as supplementary material.

AB Planets embedded within dust disks may drive the formation of large scale clumpy dust structures by trapping dust into resonant orbits. Detection and subsequent modeling of the dust structures would help constrain the mass and orbit of the planet and the disk architecture, give clues to the history of the planetary system, and provide a statistical estimate of disk asymmetry for future exoEarth-imaging missions. Here, we present the first search for these resonant structures in the inner regions of planetary systems by analyzing the light curves of hot Jupiter planetary candidates identified by the Kepler mission. We detect only one candidate disk structure associated with KOI 838.01 at the 3 sigma confidence level, but subsequent radial velocity measurements reveal that KOI 838.01 is a grazing eclipsing binary and the candidate disk structure is a false positive. Using our null result, we place an upper limit on the frequency of dense exozodi structures created by hot Jupiters. We find that at the 90% confidence level, less than 21% of Kepler hot Jupiters create resonant dust clumps that lead and trail the planet by similar to 90 degrees with optical depths greater than or similar to 5 x 10(-6), which corresponds to the resonant structure expected for a lone hot Jupiter perturbing a dynamically cold dust disk 50 times as dense as the zodiacal cloud.

AB We report results of infrared imaging and spectroscopic observations of the SN 1006 remnant, carried out with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The 24 mu m image from Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer clearly shows faint filamentary emission along the northwest rim of the remnant shell, nearly coincident with the Balmer filaments that delineate the present position of the expanding shock. The 24 mu m emission traces the Balmer filaments almost perfectly but lies a few arcsec within, indicating an origin in interstellar dust heated by the shock. Subsequent decline in the IR behind the shock is presumably due largely to grain destruction through sputtering. The emission drops far more rapidly than current models predict, however, even for a higher proportion of small grains than would be found closer to the Galactic plane. The rapid drop may result in part from a grain density that has always been lower-a relic effect from an earlier epoch when the shock was encountering a lower density-but higher grain destruction rates still seem to be required. Spectra from three positions along the NW filament from the Infrared Spectrometer instrument all show only a featureless continuum, consistent with thermal emission from warm dust. The dust-to-gas mass ratio in the pre-shock interstellar medium (ISM) is lower than that expected for the Galactic ISM-as has also been observed in the analysis of IR emission from other supernova remnants, but whose cause remains unclear. As with other Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) remnants, SN 1006 shows no evidence for dust grain formation in the SN ejecta.

AB The Be/X-ray binary A 0535+26 showed a normal (type I) outburst in 2009 August. It is the fourth in a series of normal outbursts associated with the periastron, but is unusual because it presented a double-peaked light curve. The two peaks reached a flux of similar to 450 mCrab in the 15-50 keV range. We present results of the timing and spectral analysis of INTEGRAL, RXTE, and Suzaku observations of the outburst. The energy-dependent pulse profiles and their evolution during the outburst are studied. No significant differences with respect to other normal outbursts are observed. The centroid energy of the fundamental cyclotron line shows no significant variation during the outburst. A spectral hardening with increasing luminosity is observed. We conclude that the source is accreting in the sub-critical regime. We discuss possible explanations for the double-peaked outburst.

AB We present observations spanning 355 orbital phases of HAT-P-7 observed by Kepler from 2009 May to 2011 March (Q1-9). We find a shallower secondary eclipse depth than initially announced, consistent with a low optical albedo and detection of nearly exclusively thermal emission, without a reflected light component. We find an approximately 10 ppm perturbation to the average transit light curve near phase -0.02 that we attribute to a temperature decrease on the surface of the star, phased to the orbit of the planet. This cooler spot is consistent with planet-induced gravity darkening, slightly lagging the sub-planet position due to the finite response time of the stellar atmosphere. The brightness temperature of HAT-P-7b in the Kepler bandpass is T-B = 2733 +/- 21 K and the amplitude of the deviation in stellar surface temperature due to gravity darkening is approximately -0.18 K. The detection of the spot is not statistically unequivocal due its small amplitude, though additional Kepler observations should be able to verify the astrophysical nature of the anomaly.

AB One of the great challenges of gamma-ray astronomy is identifying the lower energy counterparts to these high-energy sources. Recently, in this journal, Massaro et al. attempted to find the counterpart of 2FGL J1823.8+4312, a gamma-ray active galactic nucleus (AGN) of uncertain type from the Second Fermi Large Area Telescope catalog. After considering mid-infrared data in the field from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), those authors conclude that the preferred identification of 2FGL J1823.8+4312 is WISE J182352.33+431452.5, despite the fact that the mid-infrared source is undetected at radio energies. They claim that WISE J182352.33+431452.5 constitutes the discovery of a new class of extragalactic X-ray source, either a radio-faint blazar or the prototype of a new class of active galaxy with an enigmatic spectral energy distribution. This conclusion is claimed to be independent of whether or not the WISE source is the actual counterpart to 2FGL J1823.8+4312. Based on a re-analysis of public data in this field and new spectroscopy from Palomar, we conclude that WISE J182352.33+431452.5 is a dust-reddened quasar at z = 0.560, a representative example of a very common extragalactic AGN class. Were WISE J182352.33+431452.5 to be associated with the gamma-ray emission, this would be an unusual and exciting discovery. However, we argue that 2FGL J1823.8+4312 is more likely associated with either WISE J182409.25+431404.7 or, more likely, WISE J182419.04+430949.6, two radio-loud sources in the field. The former is a radio-loud quasar and the latter is an optically variable source with a featureless blue spectrum.

TI Role of collisions in erosion of regolith during a lunar landing
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E
LA English
DT Article
ID SPHERICAL-PARTICLE; FLOWS; MODEL
AB The supersonic gas plume of a landing rocket entrains lunar regolith, which is the layer of loose solids covering the lunar surface. This ejection is problematic due to scouring and dust impregnation of surrounding hardware, reduction in visibility for the crew, and spoofing of the landing sensors. To date, model predictions of erosion and ejection dynamics have been based largely on single-trajectory models in which the role of interparticle collisions is ignored. In the present work, the parameters affecting the erosion rate of monodisperse solids are investigated using the discrete element method (DEM). The drag and lift forces exerted by the rocket exhaust are incorporated via one-way coupling. The results demonstrate that interparticle collisions are frequent in the region immediately above the regolith surface; as many as 20% of particles are engaged in a collision at a given time. These collisions play an important role both in the erosion dynamics and in the final trajectories of particles. In addition, a direct assessment of the influence of collisions on the erosion rate is accomplished via a comparison between a "collisionless" DEM model and the original DEM model. This comparison shows that the erosion dynamics change drastically when collisions are considered and that the erosion rate is dependent on the collision parameters (coefficient of restitution and coefficient of friction). Physical explanations for these trends are provided. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.87.022205

TI Recent changes in pan-Arctic melt onset from satellite passive microwave

DT Article
ID SNOWMELT; F11
AB A new satellite passive microwave (PMW) melt onset retrieval algorithm based on temporal variations in the differences of the brightness temperature between 19 and 37 GHz is shown to be as effective as radar (e. g., QuikScat) measurements. The PMW technique shows improved melt estimates that are more closely linked to observed snow-off dates than previous studies. An integrated pan-Arctic (north of 50 degrees N) melt onset date (MOD) dataset is produced by combining estimates on land and sea ice for the entire satellite PMW record. During the 1979-2011 period, significant trends of 2 similar to 3 days (decade)(-1) to earlier MOD are mainly concentrated over the Eurasian land sector of the Arctic, consistent with changes in spring snow cover extent observed with visible satellite data. The variability and change in melt onset are largely driven by spring surface air temperature, with insignificant influence from low-frequency modes of atmospheric circulation. Citation: Wang, L., C.

AB During the boreal winter months of 2009/2010 and 2010/2011, Mediterranean mean sea level rose 10 cm above the average monthly climatological values. The non-seasonal anomalies were observed in sea surface height (from altimetry), as well as ocean mass (from gravimetry), indicating they were mostly of barotropic nature. These relatively rapid basin-wide fluctuations occurred over time scales of 1-5 months. Here we use observations and re-analysis data to attribute the non-seasonal sea level and ocean mass fluctuations in the Mediterranean Sea to concurrent wind stress anomalies over the adjacent subtropical Northeast Atlantic Ocean, just west of the Strait of Gibraltar, and extending into the strait itself. The observed Mediterranean sea level fluctuations are strongly anti-correlated with the monthly North-Atlantic-Oscillation (NAO) index. Citation: Landerer, F. W., and D. L.

AB Regional sea level changes often differ from global mean changes due to geographic variations in surface fluxes and to changes in ocean circulation. Here we study such regional sea level trends from 1993 to 2004 using a synthesis of observations and an ocean general circulation model. Unlike the global mean, steric changes dominate regional trends with negligible contributions from column-integrated mass variations. Regional heat and freshwater anomalies underlying steric changes are in turn distinguished between redistribution of pre-existing anomalies within the ocean and contributions from additional surface fluxes external to the ocean. Internal redistribution accounts for most regional trends but exceptions are found, most notably in the western tropical Pacific Ocean where a warming of external origin dominates the trend. On average, external thermosteric sea level trends are found to be positive in temperate regions while negative at higher latitudes with opposite trends found in halosteric anomalies of external origin.

ID CLIMATE-CHANGE; CIRCULATION; ERUPTIONS; CO2
AB Previous work with a simple climate model has suggested a global cooling impact of increasing stratospheric aerosol. Here we use a comprehensive Earth System Model including coupled atmosphere and ocean components to show that increasing stratospheric aerosol since the late 1990s has reduced global warming by at least 0.07 C to present and that a further global cooling impact will occur if the observed stratospheric aerosol trend continues to the end of this decade. This result confirms the previous work and suggests that climate models that do not account for stratospheric aerosol increase will overestimate global warming to a small but notable degree. An additional new finding is that increasing stratospheric aerosol since the late 1990s has reduced the rise in global mean precipitation. [2] Finally, regional patterns of change in simulations with stratospheric aerosol increase to year 2020 show similar to 40% less equatorial precipitation increase and similar to 60% greater surface pressure decrease around Antarctica, relative to simulations without such stratospheric aerosol changes.

MODIS data

ID CLIMATE MODELS; CIRRUS CLOUDS; ACCURATE PARAMETERIZATION
AB Radiative forcing due to linear-shaped jet contrails is calculated over the Northern Hemisphere for four seasonal months using 2006 Aqua Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer cloud and contrail property retrieval data in a radiative transfer model. The 4 month mean shortwave, longwave, and net radiative forcings normalized to 100% contrail cover are -5.7, 14.2, and 8.5 W m(-2). Mean total net forcing over the northern half of the globe varies from 9.1 mW m(-2) during October to 12.1 mW m(-2) in January and is only representative at 01:30 and 13:30 LT in nonpolar regions. In some dense flight traffic corridors, the mean net forcing approaches 80 mW m(-2). Scaling the 4 month average of 10.6 mW m(-2) to the Southern Hemisphere air traffic yields global mean net forcing of 5.7 mW m(-2), which is smaller than most model estimates. Nighttime net forcing is 3.6 times greater than during daytime, when net forcing is greatest over low clouds. Effects from contrail cirrus clouds that evolve from linear contrails are not considered in these results. Citation: Spangenberg, D. A., P. Minnis, S. T. Bedka, R. Palikonda, D. P. Duda and F. G.

TI Estimation of 2006 Northern Hemisphere contrail coverage using MODIS
data
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS

ID AVHRR-DATA; OPTICAL DEPTH; UNITED-STATES; CIRRUS
AB A modified automated contrail detection algorithm (CDA) using five infrared channels available from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer onboard the Aqua satellite is used to determine linear contrail coverage over the Northern Hemisphere during 2006. Commercial aircraft flight data are employed to filter false contrail detections by the CDA. The Northern Hemisphere annual mean linear contrail coverage ranges from 0.07% to 0.40% for three different CDA sensitivities. Based on visual analyses, the medium sensitivity CDA provides the best estimate of linear contrail coverage, which averages 0.13%. If scaled to the Southern Hemisphere, the global mean coverage would be 0.07%. Coverage is greatest during winter and least during the summer with maximum coverage over the North Atlantic. Less coverage is observed over heavy European and American traffic areas, likely as a result of difficulties in detecting linear contrails that overlap with each other and with older contrail cirrus. These results are valuable for evaluating the representation of contrails and contrail cirrus within global climate models and for retrieving contrail optical properties and radiative forcing.

AB We exploit quantitative metrics to investigate the information content in retrievals of atmospheric aerosol parameters (with a focus on single-scattering albedo), contained in multi-angle and multi-spectral measurements with sufficient dynamical range in the sunglint region. The simulations are performed for two classes of maritime aerosols with optical and microphysical properties compiled from measurements of the Aerosol Robotic Network. The information content is assessed using the inverse formalism and is compared to that deriving from observations not affected by sunglint. We find that there indeed is additional information in measurements containing sunglint, not just for single-scattering albedo, but also for aerosol optical thickness and the complex refractive index of the fine aerosol size mode, although the amount of additional information varies with aerosol type.

SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
AB Absolute concentrations (cm(-3)) of highly vibrationally excited hydroxyl (OH) are derived from measurements of the volume emission rate of the upsilon = 9 + 8 states of the OH radical made by the SABER instrument on the TIMED satellite. SABER has exceptionally sensitive measurement precision that corresponds to an ability to detect changes in volume emission rate on the order of similar to 5 excited OH molecules per cm(3). Peak zonal annual mean concentrations observed by SABER exceed 1000 cm-3 at night and 225 cm-3 during the day. Measurements since 2002 show an apparent altitude-dependent variation of the night OH(. = 9 + 8) concentrations with the 11 year solar cycle, with concentrations decreasing below similar to 95 km from 2002 to 2008. These observations provide a global database for evaluating photochemical model computations of OH abundance, reaction kinetics, and rates and mechanisms responsible for maintaining vibrationally excited OH in the mesopause region.

TI Surface observations for monitoring urban fossil fuel CO2 emissions:
Minimum site location requirements for the Los Angeles megacity

DT Article
ID CARBON-DIOXIDE; ATMOSPHERIC OBSERVATIONS; GAS EMISSIONS; STILT MODEL;

AB The contemporary global carbon cycle is dominated by perturbations from anthropogenic CO2 emissions. One approach to identify, quantify, and monitor anthropogenic emissions is to focus on intensely emitting urban areas. In this study, we compare the ability of different CO2 observing systems to constrain anthropogenic flux estimates in the Los Angeles megacity. We consider different observing system configurations based on existing observations and realistic near-term extensions of the current ad hoc network. We use a high-resolution regional model (Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport-Weather Research and Forecasting) to simulate different observations and observational network designs within and downwind of the Los Angeles (LA) basin. A Bayesian inverse method is employed to quantify the relative ability of each network to improve constraints on flux estimates. Ground-based column CO2 observations provide useful complementary information to surface observations due to lower sensitivity to localized dynamics, but column CO2 observations from a single site do not appear to provide sensitivity to emissions from the entire LA megacity. Surface observations from remote, downwind sites contain weak, sporadic urban signals and are complicated by other source/sink impacts, limiting their usefulness for quantifying urban fluxes in LA. We find a network of eight optimally located in-city surface observation sites provides the minimum sampling required for accurate monitoring of CO2 emissions in LA, and present a recommended baseline network design. We estimate that this network can distinguish fluxes on 8 week time scales and 10 km spatial scales to within similar to 12 g C m(-2) d(-1) (similar to 10% of average peak fossil CO2 flux in the LA domain).

CALIPSO space-borne LIDAR
SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES
LA English
DT Article
ID VARIABILITY; HEIGHT
AB We present a new global analysis of the depth of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and consider regional variations throughout the year. PBL depth is estimated from the vertical variance of CALIPSO space-borne LIDAR backscatter associated with aerosol and shallow clouds during midday satellite overpasses and is only retrieved in the absence of optically thick clouds. The resulting analysis of over 100 million retrievals per year is therefore only a sample with higher frequency over deserts and other regions of strong subsidence, and lower frequency over regions of deep convection such as the ITCZ, tropical rainforests, and the Asian Monsoon. The mean of sampled PBL depths ranges from 500 m over cold oceans to more than 3000 m over hot deserts. The seasonal cycle of analyzed PBL depth is stronger over land than over water, and seasonality over land and midlatitude oceans is of opposite sign. Wintertime storm tracks and stratocumulus regions over subtropical oceans are prominent features of the analysis. Although evaluation of the new analysis is difficult due to previous sparse sampling by other methods, comparison of LIDAR-retrieved PBL depth with data collected by commercial aircraft generally shows good agreement.

AB Using observations from a space-borne radiometer and a ground-based precipitation profiling radar, the impact of cloud microphysics schemes in the WRF model on the simulation of microwave brightness temperature (T-b), radar reflectivity, and Doppler velocity (V-dop) is studied for a winter storm in California. The unique assumptions of particles size distributions, number concentrations, shapes, and fall speeds in different microphysics schemes are implemented into a satellite simulator and customized calculations for the radar are performed to ensure consistent representation of precipitation properties between the microphysics schemes and the radiative transfer models. [ 2] Simulations with four different schemes in the WRF model, including the Goddard scheme (GSFC), the WRF single-moment 6-class scheme (WSM6), the Thompson scheme (THOM), and the Morrison double-moment scheme (MORR), are compared directly with measurements from the sensors. Results show large variations in the simulated radiative properties. General biases of similar to 20 K or larger are found in (polarization-corrected) T-b, which is linked to an overestimate of the precipitating ice aloft. The simulated reflectivity with THOM appears to agree well with the observations, while high biases of similar to 5-10 dBZ are found in GSFC, WSM6 and MORR. Peak reflectivity in MORR exceeds other schemes. These biases are attributable to the snow intercept parameters or the snow number concentrations. Simulated V-dop values based on GSFC agree with the observations well, while other schemes appear to have a similar to 1 m s(-1) high bias in the ice layer. In the rain layer, the model representations of Doppler velocity vary at different sites.

AB This report is the second in a series of companion papers describing the effects of atmospheric light scattering in observations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT), in orbit since 23 January 2009. Here we summarize the retrievals from six previously published algorithms; retrieving column-averaged dry air mole fractions of CO2 (X-CO2) during 22 months of operation of GOSAT from June 2009. First, we compare data products from each algorithm with ground-based remote sensing observations by Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON). Our GOSAT-TCCON coincidence criteria select satellite observations within a 5 degrees radius of 11 TCCON sites. We have compared the GOSAT-TCCON X-CO2 regression slope, standard deviation, correlation and determination coefficients, and global and station-to-station biases. The best agreements with TCCON measurements were detected for NIES 02.xx and RemoTeC. Next, the impact of atmospheric light scattering on X-CO2 retrievals was estimated for each data product using scan by scan retrievals of light path modification with the photon path length probability density function (PPDF) method. After a cloud pre-filtering test, approximately 25% of GOSAT soundings processed by NIES 02.xx, ACOS B2.9, and UoL-FP: 3G and 35% processed by RemoTeC were found to be contaminated by atmospheric light scattering. This study suggests that NIES 02.xx and ACOS B2.9 algorithms tend to overestimate aerosol amounts over bright surfaces, resulting in an underestimation of X-CO2 for GOSAT observations. Cross-comparison between algorithms shows that ACOS B2.9 agrees best with NIES 02.xx and UoL-FP: 3G while RemoTeC X-CO2 retrievals are in a best agreement with NIES PPDF-D.

AB Stratospheric and total columns of Arctic O-3 (63-90 degrees N) in late March 2011 averaged 320 and 349 DU, respectively, 50-100 DU lower than any of the previous 6 years. We use Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) O-3 observations to quantify the roles of chemistry and transport and find there are two major reasons for low O-3 in March 2011: heterogeneous chemical loss and a late final warming that delayed the resupply of O-3 until April. Daily vortex-averaged partial columns in the lowermost stratosphere (p > 133 hPa) and middle stratosphere (p < 29 hPa) are largely unaffected by local heterogeneous chemistry, according to model calculations. Very weak transport into the vortex between late January and late March contributes to the observed low ozone. The lower stratospheric (LS) column (133-29 hPa, similar to 370-550 K) is affected by both heterogeneous chemistry and transport. Because MLS N2O data show strong isolation of the vortex, we estimate the contribution of vertical transport to LS O-3 using the descent of vortex N2O profiles. Simulations with the Global Modeling Initiative (GMI) chemistry and transport model (CTM) with and without heterogeneous chemical reactions show 73 DU vortex averaged O-3 loss; the loss derived from MLS O-3 is 84 +/- 12 DU. The GMI simulation reproduces the observed O-3 and N2O with little error and demonstrates credible transport and chemistry. Without heterogeneous chemical loss, March 2011 vortex O-3 would have been at least 40 DU lower than climatology due to the late final warming that did not resupply O-3 until mid-April.

AB The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) will give us an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the transient sky at radio wavelengths. In this paper we present VAST, an ASKAP survey for Variables and Slow Transients. VAST will exploit the wide-field survey capabilities of ASKAP to enable the discovery and investigation of variable and transient phenomena from the local to the cosmological, including flare stars, intermittent pulsars, X-ray binaries, magnetars, extreme scattering events, interstellar scintillation, radio supernovae, and orphan afterglows of gamma-ray bursts. In addition, it will allow us to probe unexplored regions of parameter space where new classes of transient sources may be detected. In this paper we review the known radio transient and variable populations and the current results from blind radio surveys. We outline a comprehensive program based on a multi-tiered survey strategy to characterise the radio transient sky through detection and monitoring of transient and variable sources on the ASKAP imaging timescales of 5 s and greater. We also present an analysis of the expected source populations that we will be able to detect with VAST.

AB A field of small (10s of km in diameter) volcanoes in the Syria Planum region of Mars is mapped to determine abundance, distribution, and alignments of vents. These data are used to assess possible variations in eruption style across space and time. Each eruption site is assigned a point location. Nearest neighbor and two-point azimuth analyses are conducted to assess the spacing and orientations between vents across the study area. Two vent fields are identified as unique volcanic units along with the previously identified Syria Mons volcano. Superposition relationships and crater retention rates indicate that these three volcanic episodes span similar to 900 Ma, beginning in the early Hesperian and ending in the Early Amazonian. No clear hiatus in eruptive activity is identified between these events, although a progression from eruptions at Syria Mons, to regionally distributed eruptions that form the bulk of the Syria Planum plains, to a final migration of dispersed eruptions to Syria's northwest is identified. Nearest neighbor analyses suggest a non-random distribution among the entire population of Syria Planum, which is interpreted as resulting from the interaction of independent magma bodies ascending through the crust during different stress regimes throughout the region's eruptive history. Two-point azimuth results identify three orientations of enhanced alignments, which match well with radial extensions of three major tectonic centers to the south, east, and northwest of the study area. As such, Syria Planum volcanism evolved from a central vent volcano to dispersed shield field development over several hundred million years, during which the independent magma bodies related to each small volcano interacted to some extent with one or more of at least three buried tectonic patterns in the older crust. These results show a strong relationship between independent mapping efforts of tectonic and volcanic features. Continued integration of volcano-tectonic mapping should provide direct constraints for future geodynamic models of magma production and thermal evolution of the Tharsis province.

AB joining silicon thermoelectric elements using silver-based alloys and adhesive was investigated. Selective etching silicon with HF and KOH was performed to increase the interface area. Physical vapor deposition was used to coat Ti, Cr, Pt and Ag on silicon surface to form transition layers for the enhancement of interface bonding. Sound joints using the silver adhesive were obtained and they can withstand the highest temperature of 925 degrees C. Contact resistance of the joints under both thermal cycling and isothermal heat treatment was measured from 500 degrees C to 920 degrees C. It is found that the contact resistance of the silver/silicon joints is about 1 Omega at room temperature. At the elevated temperature of 920 degrees C, the contact resistance is less than 2.5 Omega. We conclude that the silver adhesive has excellent adhesion to silicon surface and the contact resistance is considerably low. Therefore, it is suitable for joining silicon thermoelectric elements for energy conversion at high temperatures. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB As manifested in the similarity relation of diffuse light transport, it is difficult to assess single scattering characteristics from multiply scattered light. We take advantage of the limited validity of the diffusion approximation of light transport and demonstrate, experimentally and numerically, that even deep into the multiple scattering regime, time-resolved detection of transmitted light allows simultaneous assessment of both single scattering anisotropy and scattering mean free path, and therefore also macroscopic parameters like the diffusion constant and the transport mean free path. This is achieved via careful assessment of early light and matching against Monte Carlo simulations of radiative transfer. (c) 2013 Optical Society of America

The model development and analysis is presented to assess the limitations of the existing tau - omega (tau-omega) model with respect to vegetated landscapes and thus to extend the usefulness of the tau - omega model to a wider range of vegetation conditions. An explicit expression is driven for an effective albedo of vegetated terrain from the zero- and multiple-order radiative transfer solutions. The formulation establishes a direct physical link between the effective vegetation parameterization and the theoretical description of absorption and scattering within the canopy. Evaluation of the derived albedo for corn canopies (stem-dominated vegetation) with data taken during the Huntsville 1998 field experiment (Hsv98) are shown and discussed. The simulation results are in good agreement with the data and show that the effective albedo values are significantly smaller than the single-scattering albedo values and increase monotonically as soil moisture increases. The model is also used to simulate effective albedo from a soybean canopy (leaf dominated vegetation) at L-band. Both results illustrate that the fitted albedo values, which are found in the literature, represent effective albedo values rather than the single-scattering albedo values. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

AB In the Arctic, earlier snowmelt and longer growing seasons due to warming have been hypothesized to increase vegetation productivity. Using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from both field and satellite measurements as an indicator of vegetation phenology and productivity, we monitored spatial and temporal patterns of vegetation growth for a coastal wet sedge tundra site near Barrow, Alaska over three growing seasons (2000-2002). Contrary to expectation, earlier snowmelt did not lead to increased productivity. Instead, productivity was associated primarily with precipitation and soil moisture, and secondarily with growing degree days, which, during this period, led to reduced growth in years with earlier snowmelt. Additional moisture effects on productivity and species distribution, operating over a longer time scale, were evident in spatial NDVI patterns associated with microtopography. Lower, wetter regions dominated by graminoids were more productive than higher, drier locations having a higher percentage of lichens and mosses, despite the earlier snowmelt at the more elevated sites. These results call into question the oft-stated hypothesis that earlier arctic growing seasons will lead to greater vegetation productivity. Rather, they agree with an emerging body of evidence from recent field studies indicating that early-season, local environmental conditions, notably moisture and temperature, are primary factors determining arctic vegetation productivity. For this coastal arctic site, early growing season conditions are strongly influenced by microtopography, hydrology, and regional sea ice dynamics, and may not be easily predicted from snowmelt date or seasonal average air temperatures alone. Our comparison of field to satellite NDVI also highlights the value of in-situ monitoring of actual vegetation responses using field optical sampling to obtain detailed information on surface conditions not possible from satellite observations alone.

AB Developed as a quantitative measurement of fire intensity, fire radiative power (FRP) and the potential applications to smoke plume injection heights, are currently limited by the pixel resolution of a satellite sensor. As a result, this study, the first in a two-part series, develops a new sub-pixel-based calculation of fire radiative power (FRPf) for fire pixels detected at 1 km(2) nominal spatial resolution by the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) fire detection algorithm (collection 5), which is subsequently applied to several large wildfire events in California. The methodology stems from the heritage of earlier bi-spectral retrievals of sub-pixel fire area and temperature. However, in the current investigation, a radiative transfer model is incorporated to remove solar effects and account for atmospheric effects as a function of Earth-satellite geometry at 3.96 and 11 mu m (MODIS fire detection channels). The retrieved sub-pixel fire (flaming) area is assessed via the multispectral, high-resolution data (3-50 m) obtained from the Autonomous Modular Sensor (AMS), flown aboard the NASA Ikhana unmanned aircraft. With fire sizes ranging from 0.001 to 0.02 km(2), pixel-level fire area comparisons between MODIS and AMS are highly variable, regardless of the viewing zenith angle, and show a low bias with a modest correlation (R=0.59). However, when lower confidence fire pixels and point-spread-function effects (fire hot spots on the pixel edge) are removed, the correlation becomes much stronger (R=0.84) and the variability between MODIS and AMS is reduced. To account for these random errors via averaging, two clustering techniques are employed and the resulting AMS and MODIS comparisons of fire area, after correcting for overlapping MODIS pixels, are even more encouraging (R=0.91). Drawing from the retrieved fire area and temperature, the FRPf is calculated and compared to the current MODIS pixel area-based FRP. While the two methods are strongly correlated (R=0.93), the FRPf, in combination with retrieved fire cluster area, allows a large fire burning at a low intensity to be separated from a small fire burning at a high intensity. Similarly, the flux of FRPf over the retrieved fire area can be calculated, allowing for improved estimates of smoke plume injection heights in modeling studies and creating potential applications for the future VIIRS and GOES-R fire detection algorithms.

AB Auroral nighttime infrared emission observed by the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument onboard the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite is used to develop an empirical model of geomagnetic storm enhancements to E-region peak electron densities. The empirical model is called STORM-E and will be incorporated into the 2012 release of the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI). The proxy for characterizing the E-region response to geomagnetic forcing is NO+(v) volume emission rates (VER) derived from the TIMED/SABER 4.3 mu m channel limb radiance measurements. The storm-time response of the NO+(v) 4.3 mu m VER is sensitive to auroral particle precipitation. A statistical database of storm-time to climatological quiet-time ratios of SABER-observed NO+(v) 4.3 mu m VER are fit to widely available geomagnetic indices using the theoretical framework of linear impulse-response theory. The STORM-E model provides a dynamic storm-time correction factor to adjust a known quiescent E-region electron density peak concentration for geomagnetic enhancements due to auroral particle precipitation. Part II of this series describes the explicit development of the empirical storm-time correction factor for E-region peak electron densities, and shows comparisons of E-region electron densities between STORM-E predictions and incoherent scatter radar measurements. In this paper, Part I of the series, the efficacy of using SABER-derived NO+(v) VER as a proxy for the E-region response to solar-geomagnetic disturbances is presented. Furthermore, a detailed description of the algorithms and methodologies used to derive NO+(v) VER from SABER 4.3 pm limb emission measurements is given. Finally, an assessment of key uncertainties in retrieving NO(v) VER is presented. Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of COSPAR.

A statistical database of storm-time to climatological quiet-time ratios of SABER-observed NO+(v) 4.3 mu m VER are fit to widely available geomagnetic indices using the theoretical framework of linear impulse-response theory. The STORM-E model provides a dynamic storm-time correction factor to adjust a known nighttime quiescent E-region electron density peak concentration for geomagnetic enhancements due to auroral particle precipitation. Part I of this series gives a detailed description of the algorithms and methodologies used to derive NO+(v) VER from SABER 4.3 mu m limb emission measurements. In this paper, Part II of the series, the development of the E-region electron density storm-time correction factor is described. The STORM-E storm-time correction factor is fit to a single geomagnetic index. There are four versions of the STORM-E model, which are currently independent of magnetic local time. Each version is fit to one of the following indices: HP, AE, Ap, or Dst. High-latitude Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) E-region electron density measurements are compared to STORM-E predictions for various geomagnetic storm periods during solar cycle 23. These comparisons show that STORM-E significantly improves the prediction of E-region electron density enhancements due to auroral particle precipitation, in comparison to the nominal IRI model or to the quiet-time baseline electron density concentrations measured by ISR. The STORM-E/ISR comparisons indicate that the STORM-E fits to the Ap-, AE-, and HP-indices are comparable in both absolute accuracy and relative dynamical response. Contrarily, the Dst-index does not appear to be a suitable input driver to parameterize the E-region electron density response to geomagnetic activity. Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of COSPAR.

AB The unusually deep and extended solar minimum of cycle 23/24 made it very difficult to predict the solar indices 1 or 2 years into the future. Most of the predictions were proven wrong by the actual observed indices. IRI gets its solar, magnetic, and ionospheric indices from an indices file that is updated twice a year. In recent years, due to the unusual solar minimum, predictions had to be corrected downward with every new indices update. In this paper we analyse how much the uncertainties in the predictability of solar activity indices affect the IRI outcome and how the IRI values calculated with predicted and observed indices compared to the actual measurements. Monthly median values of F2 layer critical frequency (foF2) derived from the ionosonde measurements at the mid-latitude ionospheric station Juliusruh were compared with the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-2007) model predictions. The analysis found that IRI provides reliable results that compare well with actual measurements, when the definite (observed and adjusted) indices of solar activity are used, while IRI values based on earlier predictions of these indices noticeably overestimated the measurements during the solar minimum. One of the principal objectives of this paper is to direct attention of IRI users to update their solar activity indices files regularly. Use of an older index file can lead to serious IRI overestimations of F-region electron density during the recent extended solar minimum. (C) 2011 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB In this paper, we examine the nighttime ionosphere climatology structure in the low latitude region and discrepancies between Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) observations and the IRI model predictions using (1) the magnetic zonal mean of electron number density as a function of altitude and magnetic latitude, (2) vertical electron density profiles at various levels of F10.7 index, (3) nighttime descent and magnitude decrease of the ionosphere, (4) point-to-point comparisons of F-peak height (hmF2) and density (NmF2), and (5) the magnetic longitudinal variations of hmF2 and NmF2. The data collected from the Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Energetics, and Dynamics (TIMED) mission since its launch in December 2001 have provided great opportunities for many scientific investigations of the ionosphere. In this analysis, we investigate the climatology of the nighttime low-latitude ionosphere under low geomagnetic activity (kp <= 4) using the electron density profiles inferred from the airglow measurements obtained by the GUVI aboard the TIMED spacecraft and compared with the results obtained from IRI (International Reference Ionosphere) model-2001. The observed climatology is an essential tool for further understanding the electrodynamics in the low-latitude region and improving the model's prediction capability. The time range of the GUVI data used in this study is from 2002 (day 053) to 2006 (day 304), and the IRI model predictions were produced at every GUVI location. The ionosphere observed is generally of greater density than what IRI predicts throughout the night for all four seasons for low and moderate solar activity while the model over-predicts the electron density near the F-region peak at high solar activity before midnight. Observations show that the height of the F-region peak has a steep descent from dusk to midnight and near midnight the height of layer is insensitive to solar conditions, significantly different than what is predicted by IRI. Longitudinal features shown in GUVI data are present in the low-latitude ionosphere after sunset and continue through to midnight after which the low-latitude ionosphere is largely zonally symmetric.

AB Cosmic rays are particles (mostly protons) accelerated to relativistic speeds. Despite wide agreement that supernova remnants (SNRs) are the sources of galactic cosmic rays, unequivocal evidence for the acceleration of protons in these objects is still lacking. When accelerated protons encounter interstellar material, they produce neutral pions, which in turn decay into gamma rays. This offers a compelling way to detect the acceleration sites of protons. The identification of pion-decay gamma rays has been difficult because high-energy electrons also produce gamma rays via bremsstrahlung and inverse Compton scattering. We detected the characteristic pion-decay feature in the gamma-ray spectra of two SNRs, IC 443 and W44, with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. This detection provides direct evidence that cosmic-ray protons are accelerated in SNRs.

AB Evapotranspiration models allow climate modelers to describe surface-atmosphere interactions, ecologists to understand the impact that global temperature change and increased radiation budgets will have on ecosystems, and farmers to decide how much irrigation to give their crops. Physically based algorithms for estimating evapotranspiration must manage a trade-off between physical realism and the difficulty of parameterizing key inputs, namely resistance factors associated with water vapor transport through the canopy and turbulent transport of water vapor from the canopy to ambient air. In this study we calculate predicted evapotranspiration at 42 AmeriFlux sites using two types of dedicated evapotranspiration models-one using physical resistances from the Penman-Monteith equation (Monteith, 1965) (Mu et al., 2007, 2011) and another based on the Priestley-Taylor (1972) equation, substituting functional constraints for resistances (Fisher et al., 2008). We analyze the structure of the residual series with respect to various meteorological and biophysical inputs, specifically Jarvis and McNaughton's (1986) decoupling coefficient, Omega, which is designed to represent the degree of control that plant stomata versus atmospheric demand and net radiation exercise over transpiration. We find that vegetation indices, magnitude of daytime fluxes, and bulk canopy resistance (r(c))-which largely drives Omega-are strong predictors of patterns in model bias for all flux products. Though our analysis suggests a consistently negative relationship between Omega and mean predicted error for all evapotranspiration models, we found that vegetation indices and flux magnitudes were the most significant drivers of model error. Before addressing error associated with canopy resistance and Omega, refinements to existing models should focus on correcting biases with respect to flux magnitudes and canopy indices. We suggest a dual-model approach for backsolving r(c) (rather than estimating it from lookup tables and canopy indices), and increased attention to water availability, which largely drives stomatal opening and closure.

AB This paper presents results of an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range [50, 1190] Hz and with frequency derivative range of similar to[-20, 1.1] x 10(-10) Hz s(-1) for the fifth LIGO science run (S5). The search uses a noncoherent Hough-transform method to combine the information from coherent searches on time scales of about one day. Because these searches are very computationally intensive, they have been carried out with the Einstein@Home volunteer distributed computing project. Postprocessing identifies eight candidate signals; deeper follow-up studies rule them out. Hence, since no gravitational wave signals have been found, we report upper limits on the intrinsic gravitational wave strain amplitude h(0). For example, in the 0.5 Hz-wide band at 152.5 Hz, we can exclude the presence of signals with h(0) greater than 7.6 x 10(-25) at a 90% confidence level. This search is about a factor 3 more sensitive than the previous Einstein@Home search of early S5 LIGO data.

AB Dynamic heating experiments on graphene/Cu nanocomposites by in situ scanning electron microscopy were conducted to observe the evolution of the morphology and size of the Cu nanoparticles. Microstructural characterization showed that the graphene/Cu nanocomposites system consists of graphene sheets decorated with Cu-based nanoparticles with different chemistries (Cu, Cu2O), shapes (cube, rod, triangle, etc) and sizes. Evidence of neck evolution, coalescence, sublimation and Ostwald ripening were observed. Interestingly, some of the events occurred at the edges of the graphene sheets. The quantitative data of necking evolution deviates from the classical continuum theory indicating that intrinsic faceting and the shape of the nanoparticles played an important role in the necking process. This was supported by molecular dynamics simulations. Experimental data of liquid-spherical nanoparticles on graphene suggested that Cu did not wet graphene. Based on sublimation experiments and surface stability, we propose that graphene decorated with Cu nanoparticles enclosed by {1 1 1} facets are the most stable nanocomposite at high temperatures. The growth mechanism of nanoparticles on graphene is discussed.

AB The composition and prevalence of microorganisms in the middle-to-upper troposphere (8-15 km altitude) and their role in aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions represent important, unresolved questions for biological and atmospheric science. In particular, airborne microorganisms above the oceans remain essentially uncharacterized, as most work to date is restricted to samples taken near the Earth's surface. Here we report on the microbiome of low-and high-altitude air masses sampled onboard the National Aeronautics and Space Administration DC-8 platform during the 2010 Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes campaign in the Caribbean Sea. The samples were collected in cloudy and cloud-free air masses before, during, and after two major tropical hurricanes, Earl and Karl. Quantitative PCR and microscopy revealed that viable bacterial cells represented on average around 20% of the total particles in the 0.25- to 1-mu m diameter range and were at least an order of magnitude more abundant than fungal cells, suggesting that bacteria represent an important and underestimated fraction of micrometer-sized atmospheric aerosols. The samples from the two hurricanes were characterized by significantly different bacterial communities, revealing that hurricanes aerosolize a large amount of new cells. Nonetheless, 17 bacterial taxa, including taxa that are known to use C1-C4 carbon compounds present in the atmosphere, were found in all samples, indicating that these organisms possess traits that allow survival in the troposphere. The findings presented here suggest that the microbiome is a dynamic and underappreciated aspect of the upper troposphere with potentially important impacts on the hydrological cycle, clouds, and climate.

AB Conventional gravity and magnetic anomaly continuation invokes the standard Poisson boundary condition of a zero anomaly at an infinite vertical distance from the observation surface. This simple continuation is limited, however, where multiple altitude slices of the anomaly field have been observed. Increasingly, areas are becoming available which are constrained by multiple boundary conditions from surface, airborne, and satellite surveys. This paper describes the implementation of continuation with multi-altitude boundary conditions in Cartesian and spherical coordinates and investigates the advantages and limitations of these applications. Continuations by EPS (equivalent point source) inversion and the FT (Fourier transform), as well as by SCHA (spherical cap harmonic analysis) are considered. These methods were selected because they are especially well suited for analyzing multi-altitude data over finite patches of the earth such as those covered by the ADMAP database. In general, continuations constrained by multi-altitude data surfaces are invariably superior to those constrained by a single altitude data surface due to anomaly measurement errors and the non-uniqueness of continuation.

AB We report the discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission coincident with the shell-type radio supernova remnant (SNR) CTA 1 using the VERITAS gamma-ray observatory. The source, VER J0006+729, was detected as a 6.5 standard deviation excess over background and shows an extended morphology, approximated by a two-dimensional Gaussian of semimajor (semiminor) axis 0.degrees 30 (0.degrees 24) and a centroid 5' from the Fermi gamma-ray pulsar PSR J0007+7303 and its X-ray pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The photon spectrum is well described by a power-law dN/dE = N-0(E/3 TeV)(-Gamma), with a differential spectral index of Gamma = 2.2 +/- 0.2(stat) +/- 0.3(sys), and normalization N-0 = (9.1 +/- 1.3(stat) +/- 1.7(sys)) x 10(-14) cm(-2) s(-1) TeV-1. The integral flux, F-gamma = 4.0 x 10(-12) erg cm(-2) s(-1) above 1 TeV, corresponds to 0.2% of the pulsar spin-down power at 1.4 kpc. The energetics, colocation with the SNR, and the relatively small extent of the TeV emission strongly argue for the PWN origin of the TeV photons. We consider the origin of the TeV emission in CTA 1.

AB We have monitored the position of the cool Y dwarf WISEPA J182831.08+265037.8 using a combination of ground- and space-based telescopes and have determined its distance to be 11.2(-1.0)(+1.3) pc. Its absolute H magnitude, M-H = 22.21(-0.22)(+0.25) mag, suggests a mass in the range 0.5-20 M-Jup for ages of 0.1-10 Gyr with an effective temperature in the range 250-400 K. The broad range in mass is due primarily to the unknown age of the object. Since the high tangential velocity of the object, 51 +/- 5 km s(-1), is characteristic of an old disk population, a plausible age range of 2-4 Gyr leads to a mass range of 3-6 M-Jup based on fits to the (highly uncertain) COND evolutionary models. The range in temperature is due to the fact that no single model adequately represents the 1-5 mu m spectral energy distribution (SED) of the source, failing by factors of up to five at either the short or long wavelength portions of the SED. The appearance of this very cold object may be affected by non-equilibrium chemistry or low temperature condensates forming clouds, two atmospheric processes that are known to be important in brown dwarf atmospheres but have proven difficult to model. Finally, we argue that there would have to be a very steep upturn in the number density of late-type Y-dwarfs to account for the putative population of objects suggested by recent microlensing observations. Whether WISE 1828+2650 sits at the low-mass end of the brown dwarf population or is the first example of a large number of "free-floating" planets is not yet known.

AB A521 is an interacting galaxy cluster located at z = 0.247, hosting a low-frequency radio halo connected to an eastern radio relic. Previous Chandra observations hinted at the presence of an X-ray brightness edge at the position of the relic, which may be a shock front. We analyze a deep observation of A521 recently performed with XMM-Newton in order to probe the cluster structure up to the outermost regions covered by the radio emission. The cluster atmosphere exhibits various brightness and temperature anisotropies. In particular, two cluster cores appear to be separated by two cold fronts. We find two shock fronts, one that was suggested by Chandra and that is propagating to the east, and another to the southwestern cluster outskirt. The two main interacting clusters appear to be separated by a shock-heated region, which exhibits a spatial correlation with the radio halo. The outer edge of the radio relic coincides spatially with a shock front, suggesting that this shock is responsible for the generation of cosmic-ray electrons in the relic. The propagation direction and Mach number of the shock front derived from the gas density jump, M = 2.4 +/- 0.2, are consistent with expectations from the radio spectral index, under the assumption of Fermi I acceleration mechanism.

AB High-redshift galaxies permit the study of the formation and evolution of X-ray binary (XRB) populations on cosmological timescales, probing a wide range of metallicities and star formation rates (SFRs). In this paper, we present results from a large-scale population synthesis study that models the XRB populations from the first galaxies of the universe until today. We use as input to our modeling the Millennium II cosmological simulation and the updated semi-analytic galaxy catalog by Guo et al. to self-consistently account for the star formation history and metallicity evolution of the universe. Our modeling, which is constrained by the observed X-ray properties of local galaxies, gives predictions about the global scaling of emission from XRB populations with properties such as SFR and stellar mass, and the evolution of these relations with redshift. Our simulations show that the X-ray luminosity density (X-ray luminosity per unit volume) from XRBs in our universe today is dominated by low-mass XRBs, and it is only at z greater than or similar to 2.5 that high-mass XRBs become dominant. We also find that there is a delay of similar to 1.1Gyr between the peak of X-ray emissivity from low-mass XRBs (at z similar to 2.1) and the peak of SFR density (at z similar to 3.1). The peak of the X-ray luminosity from high-mass XRBs (at z similar to 3.9) happens similar to 0.8Gyr before the peak of the SFR density, which is due to the metallicity evolution of the universe.

AB We report on the present stage of SN 1987A as observed by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. We reanalyze published Chandra observations and add three more epochs of Chandra data to get a consistent picture of the evolution of the X-ray fluxes in several energy bands. We discuss the implications of several calibration issues for Chandra data. Using the most recent Chandra calibration files, we find that the 0.5-2.0 keV band fluxes of SN 1987A have increased by similar to 6 x 10(-13) erg s(-1) cm(-2) per year since 2009. This is in contrast with our previous result that the 0.5-2.0 keV light curve showed a sudden flattening in 2009. Based on our new analysis, we conclude that the forward shock is still in full interaction with the equatorial ring.

AB We present results from a 140 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the hot gas around the canonical FR I radio galaxy 3C 449. An earlier, shorter 30 ks Chandra observation of the group gas showed an unusual entropy distribution and a surface brightness edge in the gas that could be a strong shock around the inner radio lobes. In our deeper data we find no evidence for a temperature increase inside of the brightness edge, but a temperature decrease across part of the edge. This suggests that the edge is a "sloshing" cold front due to a merger within the last less than or similar to 1.3-1.6 Gyr. Both the northern and southern inner jets are bent slightly to the west in projection as they enter their respective lobes, suggesting that the sloshing core is moving to the east. The straight inner jet flares at approximately the position where it crosses the contact edge, suggesting that the jet is entraining and thermalizing some of the hot gas as it crosses the edge. We also detect filaments of X-ray emission around the southern inner radio jet and lobe which we attribute to low entropy entrained gas. The lobe flaring and gas entrainment were originally predicted in simulations of Loken et al. and are confirmed in our deep observation.

AB We present the near-through mid-infrared flux contribution of thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) and massive red supergiant (RSG) stars to the luminosities of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively). Combined, the peak contribution from these cool evolved stars occurs at similar to 3-4 mu m, where they produce 32% of the SMC light, and 25% of the LMC flux. The TP-AGB star contribution also peaks at similar to 3-4 mu m and amounts to 21% in both galaxies. The contribution from RSG stars peaks at shorter wavelengths, 2.2 mu m, where they provide 11% of the SMC flux, and 7% for the LMC. Both TP-AGB and RSG stars are short lived, and thus potentially impose a large stochastic scatter on the near-IR derived mass-to-light (M/L) ratios of galaxies at rest-frame 1-4 mu m. To minimize their impact on stellar mass estimates, one can use the M/L ratio at shorter wavelengths (e. g., at 0.8-1 mu m). At longer wavelengths (>= 8 mu m), emission from dust in the interstellar medium dominates the flux. In the LMC, which shows strong polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission at 8 mu m, TP-AGB and RSG contribute less than 4% of the 8 mu m flux. However, 19% of the SMC 8 mu m flux is from evolved stars, nearly half of which is produced by the rarest, dustiest, carbon-rich TP-AGB stars. Thus, star formation rates of galaxies, based on an 8 mu m flux (e. g., observed-frame 24 mu m at z = 2), may be biased modestly high, especially for galaxies with little PAH emission.

EVOLUTION; AMBIPOLAR DIFFUSION; IONIZATION STATE; SATURATION LEVEL
AB We investigate the viability of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in X-ray ionized viscous accretion disks around both solar-type stars and very low mass stars. In particular, we determine the disk regions where the MRI can be shut off either by Ohmic resistivity (the so-called dead and undead zones) or by ambipolar diffusion (a region we term the zombie zone). We consider two stellar masses: M-* = 0.7M(circle dot) and 0.1M(circle dot). In each case, we assume that: the disk surface density profile is that of a scaled Minimum Mass Solar Nebula, with M-disk/M-* = 0.01 as suggested by current data; disk ionization is driven primarily by stellar X-rays, complemented by cosmic rays and radionuclides; and the stellar X-ray luminosity scales with bolometric luminosity as L-X/L-* approximate to 10(-3.5), as observed. Ionization rates are calculated with the moccasin Monte Carlo X-ray transport code, and ionization balance determined using a simplified chemical network, including well-mixed 0.1 mu m grains at various levels of depletion. We find that (1) ambipolar diffusion is the primary factor controlling MRI activity in disks around both solar-type and very low mass classical T Tauri stars. Assuming that the MRI yields the maximum possible field strength at each radius, we further find that: (2) the MRI-active layer constitutes only similar to 5%-10% of the total disk mass; (3) the accretion rate (M.) varies radially in both magnitude and sign (inward or outward), implying time-variable accretion as well as the creation of disk gaps and overdensities, with consequences for planet formation and migration; (4) achieving the empirical accretion rates in solar-type and very low mass stars requires a depletion of well-mixed small grains (via grain growth and/or settling) by a factor of 10-1000 relative to the standard dust-to-gas mass ratio of 10(-2); and (5) the current non-detection of polarized emission from field-aligned grains in the outer disk regions is consistent with active MRI at those radii.

AB We measure the clustering of extremely red objects (EROs) in approximate to 8 deg(2) of the NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey Bootes field in order to establish robust links between ERO(z approximate to 1.2) and local galaxy (z < 0.1) populations. Three different color selection criteria from the literature are analyzed to assess the consequences of using different criteria for selecting EROs. Specifically, our samples are (R - K-s) > 5.0 (28,724 galaxies), (I - K-s) > 4.0 (22,451 galaxies), and (I - [3.6]) > 5.0 (64,370 galaxies). Magnitude-limited samples show the correlation length (r(0)) to increase for more luminous EROs, implying a correlation with stellar mass. We can separate star-forming and passive ERO populations using the (K-s - [24]) and ([3.6]-[24]) colors to K-s = 18.4 and [3.6] = 17.5, respectively. Star-forming and passive EROs in magnitude-limited samples have different clustering properties and host dark halo masses and cannot be simply understood as a single population. Based on the clustering, we find that bright passive EROs are the likely progenitors of greater than or similar to 4L* elliptical galaxies. Bright EROs with ongoing star formation were found to occupy denser environments than star-forming galaxies in the local universe, making these the likely progenitors of greater than or similar to L* local ellipticals. This suggests that the progenitors of massive greater than or similar to 4L* local ellipticals had stopped forming stars by z greater than or similar to 1.2, but that the progenitors of less massive ellipticals (down to L*) can still show significant star formation at this epoch.

AB We report results from long-term (approximate to 1240 days) X-ray (0.3-8.0 keV) monitoring of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1 with the Swift/X-Ray Telescope. Here we expand on earlier work by Strohmayer (2009) who used only a part of the present data set. Our primary results are: (1) the discovery of sharp, quasi-periodic, energy-independent dips in the X-ray intensity that recur on average every 243 days, (2) the detection of an energy dependent (variability amplitude decreases with increasing energy), quasi-sinusoidal X-ray modulation with a period of 112.6 +/- 4 days, the amplitude of which weakens during the second half of the light curve, and (3) spectral evidence for an increase in photoelectric absorption during the last continuous segment of the data. We interpret the X-ray modulations within the context of binary motion in analogy to that seen in high-inclination accreting X-ray binaries. If correct, this implies that NGC 5408 X-1 is in a binary with an orbital period of 243 +/- 23 days, in contrast to the 115.5 day quasi-sinusoidal period previously reported by Strohmayer (2009). We discuss the overall X-ray modulation within the framework of accretion via Roche-lobe overflow of the donor star. In addition, if the X-ray modulation is caused by vertically structured obscuring material in the accretion disk, this would imply a high value for the inclination of the orbit. A comparison with estimates from accreting X-ray binaries suggests an inclination greater than or similar to 70 degrees. We note that, in principle, a precessing accretion disk could also produce the observed X-ray modulations.

AB Spicules have been observed on the Sun for more than a century, typically in chromospheric lines such as Ha and Ca II H. Recent work has shown that so-called "type II" spicules may have a role in providing mass to the corona and the solar wind. In chromospheric filtergrams these spicules are not seen to fall back down, and they are shorter lived and more dynamic than the spicules that have been classically reported in ground-based observations. Observations of type II spicules with Hinode show fundamentally different properties from what was previously measured. In earlier work we showed that these dynamic type II spicules are the most common type, a view that was not properly identified by early observations. The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of spatio-temporal resolution in the classical spicule measurements. Making use of Hinode data degraded to match the observing conditions of older ground-based studies, we measure the properties of spicules with a semi-automated algorithm. These results are then compared to measurements using the original Hinode data. We find that degrading the data has a significant effect on the measured properties of spicules. Most importantly, the results from the degraded data agree well with older studies (e. g., mean spicule duration more than 5 minutes, and upward apparent velocities of about 25 km s(-1)). These results illustrate how the combination of spicule superposition, low spatial resolution and cadence affect the measured properties of spicules, and that previous measurements can be misleading.

AB We present a new global model of the solar corona, including the low corona, the transition region, and the top of the chromosphere. The realistic three-dimensional magnetic field is simulated using the data from the photospheric magnetic field measurements. The distinctive feature of the new model is incorporating MHD Alfven wave turbulence. We assume this turbulence and its nonlinear dissipation to be the only momentum and energy source for heating the coronal plasma and driving the solar wind. The difference between the turbulence dissipation efficiency in coronal holes and that in closed field regions is because the nonlinear cascade rate degrades in strongly anisotropic (imbalanced) turbulence in coronal holes (no inward propagating wave), thus resulting in colder coronal holes, from which the fast solar wind originates. The detailed presentation of the theoretical model is illustrated with the synthetic images for multi-wavelength EUV emission compared with the observations from SDO AIA and STEREO EUVI instruments for the Carrington rotation 2107.

AB Mrk 231, the nearest (z = 0.0422) quasar, hosts both a galactic-scale wind and a nuclear-scale iron low-ionization broad absorption line (FeLoBAL) outflow. We recently obtained a far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectrum of this object covering similar to 1150-1470 angstrom with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. This spectrum is highly peculiar, highlighted by the presence of faint (less than or similar to 2% of predictions based on H alpha), broad (greater than or similar to 10,000 km s(-1) at the base), and highly blueshifted (centroid at similar to -3500 km s(-1)) Ly alpha emission. The FUV continuum emission is slightly declining at shorter wavelengths (consistent with F-lambda proportional to lambda(1.7)) and does not show the presence of any obvious photospheric or wind stellar features. Surprisingly, the FUV spectrum also does not show any unambiguous broad absorption features. It thus appears to be dominated by the AGN, rather than hot stars, and virtually unfiltered by the dusty FeLoBAL screen. The observed Ly alpha emission is best explained if it is produced in the outflowing BAL cloud system, while the Balmer lines arise primarily from the standard broad emission line region seen through the dusty (A(V) similar to 7 mag) broad absorption line region. Two possible geometric models are discussed in the context of these new results.

AB We present an investigation of small-scale structure in the distribution of large molecules/dust in the interstellar medium through observations of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). High signal-to-noise optical spectra were recorded toward the stars rho Oph A, B, C, and DE using the University College London Echelle Spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The strengths of some of the DIBs are found to differ by about 5%-9% between the close binary stars rho Oph A and B, which are separated by a projected distance on the sky of only c. 344 AU. This is the first star system in which such small-scale DIB strength variations have been reported. The observed variations are attributed to differences between a combination of carrier abundance and the physical conditions present along each sightline. The sightline toward rho Oph C contains relatively dense, molecule-rich material and has the strongest. lambda lambda 5850 and 4726 DIBs. The gas toward DE is more diffuse and is found to exhibit weak "C-2" (blue) DIBs and strong yellow/red DIBs. The differences in diffuse band strengths between lines of sight are, in some cases, significantly greater in magnitude than the corresponding variations among atomic and diatomic species, indicating that the DIBs can be sensitive tracers of interstellar cloud conditions.

AB Spacecraft-to-spacecraft tracking observations from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) have been used to construct a gravitational field of the Moon to spherical harmonic degree and order 420. The GRAIL field reveals features not previously resolved, including tectonic structures, volcanic landforms, basin rings, crater central peaks, and numerous simple craters. From degrees 80 through 300, over 98% of the gravitational signature is associated with topography, a result that reflects the preservation of crater relief in highly fractured crust. The remaining 2% represents fine details of subsurface structure not previously resolved. GRAIL elucidates the role of impact bombardment in homogenizing the distribution of shallow density anomalies on terrestrial planetary bodies.

ID LUNAR COMPOSITION; GIANT IMPACT; MODEL; CONSTITUTION; INVERSION;
INTERIOR; DENSITY; SURFACE; EARTH
AB High-resolution gravity data obtained from the dual Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft show that the bulk density of the Moon's highlands crust is 2550 kilograms per cubic meter, substantially lower than generally assumed. When combined with remote sensing and sample data, this density implies an average crustal porosity of 12% to depths of at least a few kilometers. Lateral variations in crustal porosity correlate with the largest impact basins, whereas lateral variations in crustal density correlate with crustal composition. The low-bulk crustal density allows construction of a global crustal thickness model that satisfies the Apollo seismic constraints, and with an average crustal thickness between 34 and 43 kilometers, the bulk refractory element composition of the Moon is not required to be enriched with respect to that of Earth.

TI Ancient Igneous Intrusions and Early Expansion of the Moon Revealed by
GRAIL Gravity Gradiometry
SO SCIENCE
LA English
DT Article
ID EVOLUTION; ROCKS; EARTH
AB The earliest history of the Moon is poorly preserved in the surface geologic record due to the high flux of impactors, but aspects of that history may be preserved in subsurface structures. Application of gravity gradiometry to observations by the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission results in the identification of a population of linear gravity anomalies with lengths of hundreds of kilometers. Inversion of the gravity anomalies indicates elongated positive-density anomalies that are interpreted to be ancient vertical tabular intrusions or dikes formed by magmatism in combination with extension of the lithosphere. Crosscutting relationships support a pre-Nectarian to Nectarian age, preceding the end of the heavy bombardment of the Moon. The distribution, orientation, and dimensions of the intrusions indicate a globally isotropic extensional stress state arising from an increase in the Moon's radius by 0.6 to 4.9 kilometers early in lunar history, consistent with predictions of thermal models.

DT Editorial Material
AB Bourassa et al. (Reports, 6 July 2012, p. 78) have suggested that deep convection associated with the Asian monsoon played a critical role in transporting sulfur dioxide associated with the Nabro volcanic eruption (13 June 2011) from the upper troposphere (9 to 14 kilometers) into the lower stratosphere. An analysis of the CALIPSO lidar data indicates, however, that the main part of the Nabro volcanic plume was injected directly into the lower stratosphere during the initial eruption well before reaching the Asian monsoon deep convective region.

AB Cosmological constraints on the sum of neutrino masses and on the effective number of neutrino species in standard and nonstandard scenarios are computed using the most recent available cosmological data. Our cosmological data sets include the measurement of the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the data release 9 CMASS sample of the baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey. We study in detail the different degeneracies among the parameters, as well as the impact of the different data sets used in the analyses. When considering bounds on the sum of the three active neutrino masses, the information in the BAO signal from galaxy clustering measurements is approximately equally powerful as the shape information from the matter power spectrum. The most stringent bound we find is Sigma m(nu) < 0.32 eV at 95% C.L. When nonstandard neutrino scenarios with N-eff massless or massive neutrino species are examined, power spectrum shape measurements provide slightly better bounds than the BAO signal only, due to the breaking of parameter degeneracies. Cosmic microwave background data from high multipoles from the South Pole Telescope turns out to be crucial for extracting the number of effective neutrino species. Recent baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey data combined with cosmic microwave background and Hubble Space Telescope measurements give N-eff = 3.66(-0.21-0.69)(+0.20+0.73) in the massless neutrino scenario, and similar results are obtained in the massive case. The evidence for extra radiation N-eff > 3 often claimed in the literature therefore remains at the 2 sigma level when considering up-to-date cosmological data sets. Measurements from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe combined with a prior on the Hubble parameter from the Hubble Space Telescope are very powerful in constraining either the sum of the three active neutrino masses or the number of massless neutrino species. If the former two parameters are allowed to freely vary, however, the bounds from the combination of these two cosmological probes get worse by an order of magnitude. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.043515

AB Georges Bank is a large, shallow feature separating the Gulf of Maine from the Atlantic Ocean. Previous studies demonstrated a strong tidal-mixing front during the warm season on the northern bank margin between thermally stratified water in the Gulf of Maine and mixed water on the bank. Tides transport warm water off the bank during flood tide and cool gulf water onto the bank during ebb tide. During 10 days in August 2009, we mapped frontal temperatures in five study areas along similar to 100 km of the bank margin. The seabed "frontal zone", where temperature changed with frontal movment, experienced semidiurnal temperature maxima and minima. The tidal excursion of the frontal boundary between stratified and mixed water ranged 6 to 10 km. This "frontal boundary zone" was narrower than the frontal zone. Along transects perpendicular to the bank margin, seabed temperature change at individual sites ranged from 7.0 degrees C in the frontal zone to 0.0 degrees C in mixed bank water. At time series in frontal zone stations, changes during tidal cycles ranged from 1.2 to 6.1 degrees C. The greatest rate of change (-2.48 degrees C hr(-1)) occurred at mid-ebb. Geographic plots of seabed temperature change allowed the mapping of up to 8 subareas in each study area. The magnitude of temperature change in a subarea depended on its location in the frontal zone. Frontal movement had the greatest effect on seabed temperature in the 40 to 80 m depth interval. Subareas experiencing maximum temperature change in the frontal zone were not in the frontal boundary zone, but rather several km gulfward (off-bank) of the frontal boundary zone. These results provide a new ecological framework for examining the effect of tidally-driven temperature variability on the distribution, food resources, and reproductive success of benthic invertebrate and demersal fish species living in tidal front habitats.

AB Although it has been notoriously difficult to pin down precisely what is it that makes life so distinctive and remarkable, there is general agreement that its informational aspect is one key property, perhaps the key property. The unique informational narrative of living systems suggests that life may be characterized by context-dependent causal influences, and, in particular, that top-down (or downward) causation-where higher levels influence and constrain the dynamics of lower levels in organizational hierarchies-may be a major contributor to the hierarchal structure of living systems. Here, we propose that the emergence of life may correspond to a physical transition associated with a shift in the causal structure, where information gains direct and context-dependent causal efficacy over the matter in which it is instantiated. Such a transition may be akin to more traditional physical transitions (e. g. thermodynamic phase transitions), with the crucial distinction that determining which phase (non-life or life) a given system is in requires dynamical information and therefore can only be inferred by identifying causal architecture. We discuss some novel research directions based on this hypothesis, including potential measures of such a transition that may be amenable to laboratory study, and how the proposed mechanism corresponds to the onset of the unique mode of (algorithmic) information processing characteristic of living systems.

TI Midlatitude atmospheric OH response to the most recent 11-y solar cycle

AB The hydroxyl radical (OH) plays an important role in middle atmospheric photochemistry, particularly in ozone (O-3) chemistry. Because it is mainly produced through photolysis and has a short chemical lifetime, OH is expected to show rapid responses to solar forcing [e.g., the 11-y solar cycle (SC)], resulting in variabilities in related middle atmospheric O-3 chemistry. Here, we present an effort to investigate such OH variability using long-term observations (from space and the surface) and model simulations. Ground-based measurements and data from the Microwave Limb Sounder on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Aura satellite suggest an similar to 7-10% decrease in OH column abundance from solar maximum to solar minimum that is highly correlated with changes in total solar irradiance, solar Mg-II index, and Lyman-alpha index during SC 23. However, model simulations using a commonly accepted solar UV variability parameterization give much smaller OH variability (similar to 3%). Although this discrepancy could result partially from the limitations in our current understanding of middle atmospheric chemistry, recently published solar spectral irradiance data from the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment suggest a solar UV variability that is much larger than previously believed. With a solar forcing derived from the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment data, modeled OH variability (similar to 6-7%) agrees much better with observations. Model simulations reveal the detailed chemical mechanisms, suggesting that such OH variability and the corresponding catalytic chemistry may dominate the O-3 SC signal in the upper stratosphere. Continuing measurements through SC 24 are required to understand this OH variability and its impacts on O-3 further.

AB Optically thin cirrus near the tropical tropopause regulate the humidity of air entering the stratosphere, which in turn has a strong influence on the Earth's radiation budget and climate. Recent high-altitude, unmanned aircraft measurements provide evidence for two distinct classes of cirrus formed in the tropical tropopause region: (i) vertically extensive cirrus with low ice number concentrations, low extinctions, and large supersaturations (up to similar to 70%) with respect to ice; and (ii) vertically thin cirrus layers with much higher ice concentrations that effectively deplete the vapor in excess of saturation. The persistent supersaturation in the former class of cirrus is consistent with the long time-scales (several hours or longer) for quenching of vapor in excess of saturation given the low ice concentrations and cold tropical tropopause temperatures. The low-concentration clouds are likely formed on a background population of insoluble particles with concentrations less than 100 L-1 (often less than 20 L-1), whereas the high ice concentration layers (with concentrations up to 10,000 L-1) can only be produced by homogeneous freezing of an abundant population of aqueous aerosols. These measurements, along with past high-altitude aircraft measurements, indicate that the low-concentration cirrus occur frequently in the tropical tropopause region, whereas the high-concentration cirrus occur infrequently. The predominance of the low-concentration clouds means cirrus near the tropical tropopause may typically allow entry of air into the stratosphere with as much as similar to 1.7 times the ice saturation mixing ratio.

AB We generalize previous work by considering a novel gravitational model with an action given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar, the matter Lagrangian density, a scalar field and a kinetic term constructed from the gradients of the scalar field, respectively. The gravitational field equations in the metric formalism are obtained, as well as the equations of motion for test particles, which followfrom the covariant divergence of the stress-energy tensor. Specific models with a nonminimal coupling between the scalar field and the matter Lagrangian are further explored. We emphasize that these models are extremely useful for describing an interaction between dark energy and dark matter, and for explaining the late-time cosmic acceleration.

AB A flexible, compressible, hydrophobic, ice-repelling, floatable, and conductive carbon nanotube (CNT)-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponge is presented. The microporous sponge-like PDMS scaffold fabricated with a sugar cube template is capable of CNT uptake. The CNT-PDMS sponge (CPS) is deformable and compressible up to 90%. The Young's modulus varies from 22KPa to 200KPa depending on the applied strain. The conductive pathways via the CNT network increase with compressive strain similar to a variable resistor or pressure sensor. The softness of the CPS can be utilized for artificial skin to grip sensitive objects. In addition, the contact angle of water droplets on CPS shows 141 degrees, and thus the hydrophobic nature of the CPS can be exploited as a floating electrode. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity is maintained below freezing temperature, allowing an ice-repelling electrode. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4790437]

AB Light scalar fields called moduli arise from a variety of different models involving supersymmetry and/or string theory; thus their existence is a generic prediction of leading theories for physics beyond the standard model. They also present a formidable, long-standing problem for cosmology. We argue that an anthropic solution to the moduli problem exists in the case of small moduli masses and that it automatically leads to dark matter in the form of moduli. The recent discovery of the 125 GeV Higgs boson implies a lower bound on the moduli mass of about a keV. This form of dark matter is consistent with the observed properties of structure formation, and it is amenable to detection with the help of x-ray telescopes. We present the results of a search for such dark matter particles using spectra extracted from the first deep x-ray observations of the Draco and Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxies, which are dark-matter-dominated systems with extreme mass-to-light ratios and low intrinsic backgrounds. No emission line is positively detected, and we set new constraints on the relevant new physics. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.043508

AB Asteroseismology has been extremely successful in determining the properties of stars in different evolutionary stages with a remarkable level of precision. However, to fully exploit its potential, robust methods for estimating stellar parameters are required and independent verification of the results is needed. In this talk, I present a new technique developed to obtain stellar properties by coupling asteroseismic analysis with the infrared flux method. Using two global seismic observables and multi-band photometry, the technique determines masses, radii, effective temperatures, bolometric fluxes, and thus distances for field stars in a self-consistent manner. Applying our method to a sample of solar-like oscillators in the Kepler field that have accurate Hipparcos parallaxes, we find agreement in our distance determinations to better than 5%. Comparison with measurements of spectroscopic effective temperatures and interferometric radii also validate our results, and show that our technique can be applied to stars evolved beyond the main-sequence phase.

AB Following the red giant branch phase and the subsequent core He-burning phase, the low-to intermediate-mass stars (0.8 < M/M-circle dot < 8) begin to ascend the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Pulsations levitate material from the stellar surface and provide density enhancements and shocks, which can encourage dust formation and re-processing. The dust composition depends on the atmospheric chemistry (abundance of carbon relative to oxygen), which is altered by dredging up newly formed carbon to the surface of the star. I will briefly review the current status of models that include AGB mass loss and relate them to recent observations of AGB stars from the Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE) Spitzer surveys of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, including measures of the total dust input to the interstellar medium from AGB stars.

AB We present the direct imaging discovery of an extrasolar planet, or possible low-mass brown dwarf, at a projected separation of 55 +/- 2 AU (1 ''.058 +/- 0 ''.007) from the B9-type star kappa And. The planet was detected with Subaru/HiCIAO during the SEEDS survey and confirmed as a bound companion via common proper motion measurements. Observed near-infrared magnitudes of J = 16.3 +/- 0.3, H = 15.2 +/- 0.2, K-s = 14.6 +/- 0.4, and L' = 13.12 +/- 0.09 indicate a temperature of similar to 1700 K. The galactic kinematics of the host star are consistent with membership in the Columba Association, implying a corresponding age of 30(-10)(+20) Myr. The system's age, combined with the companion photometry, points to a model-dependent companion mass similar to 12.8 M-Jup. The host star's estimated mass of 2.4-2.5 M-circle dot places it among the most massive stars ever known to harbor an extrasolar planet or low-mass brown dwarf. While the mass of the companion is close to the deuterium burning limit, its mass ratio, orbital separation, and likely planet-like formation scenario imply that it may be best defined as a "super-Jupiter" with properties similar to other recently discovered companions to massive stars.

AB We present Subaru/HiCIAO H-band high-contrast images of the debris disk around HIP 79977, whose presence was recently inferred from an infrared excess. Our images resolve the disk for the first time, allowing characterization of its shape, size, and dust grain properties. We use angular differential imaging (ADI) to reveal the disk geometry in unpolarized light out to a radius of similar to 2 '', as well as polarized differential imaging to measure the degree of scattering polarization out to similar to 1 ''.5. In order to strike a favorable balance between suppression of the stellar halo and conservation of disk flux, we explore the application of principal component analysis to both ADI and reference star subtraction. This allows accurate forward modeling of the effects of data reduction on simulated disk images, and thus direct comparison with the imaged disk. The resulting best-fit values and well-fitting intervals for the model parameters are a surface brightness power-law slope of S-out = -3.2[-3.6,-2.9], an inclination of i = 84 degrees[81 degrees, 86 degrees], a high Henyey-Greenstein forward-scattering parameter of g = 0.45[0.35, 0.60], and a nonsignificant disk-star offset of u = 3.0[-1.5, 7.5] AU = 24[-13, 61] mas along the line of nodes. Furthermore, the tangential linear polarization along the disk rises from similar to 10% at 0 ''.5 to similar to 45% at 1 ''.5. These measurements paint a consistent picture of a disk of dust grains produced by collisional cascades and blown out to larger radii by stellar radiation pressure.

AB Low-density astrophysical plasmas may be described by magnetohydrodynamics at large scales, but require kinetic description at ion scales in order to include dissipative processes that terminate the cascade. Here kinetic plasma simulations and high-resolution spacecraft observations are compared to facilitate the interpretation of signatures of various dissipation mechanisms. Kurtosis of increments indicates that kinetic scale coherent structures are present, with some suggestion of incoherent activity near ion scales. Conditioned proton temperature distributions suggest heating associated with coherent structures. The results reinforce the association of intermittent turbulence, coherent structures, and plasma dissipation.

AB An American football was tracked using a long-range magneto-quasistatic position and orientation measurement system. A low-weight emitter that emitted a low-frequency quasistatic magnetic field was embedded within an American football. The emitter weighed a total of 26.5 g, which was within the manufacturing tolerance of an American football, and did not alter the dynamics of the ball. Measurements of a person carrying the football along the goal line of an American football field are described, along with a description of the construction of the magneto-quasistatic tracking system. The technique demonstrated measurements with a distance accuracy of 15 cm and an azimuthal orientation accuracy of 2.45 for measurements conducted along the goal line of an American football field.

AB Background Post-flight data suggests immunity is dysregulated immediately following spaceflight, however this data may be influenced by the stress effects of high-G entry and readaptation to terrestrial gravity. It is unknown if immunity is altered during spaceflight.
Methods Blood samples were collected from 19 US Astronauts onboard the Space Shuttle similar to 24 h prior to landing and returned for terrestrial analysis. Assays consisted of leukocyte distribution, T cell blastogenesis and cytokine production profiles.
Results Most bulk leukocyte subsets (WBC, differential, lymphocyte subsets) were unaltered during spaceflight, but were altered following landing. CD8+ T cell subsets, including cytotoxic, central memory and senescent were altered during spaceflight. T cell early blastogenesis varied by culture mitogen. Functional responses to staphylococcal enterotoxin were reduced during and following spaceflight, whereas response to anti-CD3/28 antibodies was elevated post-flight. The level of virus specific T cells were generally unaltered, however virus specific T cell function was depressed both during and following flight. Plasma levels of IFN alpha, IFN gamma, IL-1 beta, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF alpha were significantly elevated in-flight, while IL-6 was significantly elevated at R+0. Cytokine production profiles following mitogenic stimulation were significantly altered both during, and following spaceflight. Specifically, production of IFN gamma, IL-17 and IL-10 were reduced, but production of TNF alpha and IL-8 were elevated during spaceflight.
Conclusions This study indicates that specific parameters among leukocyte distribution, T cell function and cytokine production profiles are altered during flight. These findings distinguish in-flight dysregulation from stress-related alterations observed immediately following landing.

AB BACKGROUND: Most heat-related deaths occur in cities, and future trends in global climate change and urbanization may amplify this trend. Understanding how neighborhoods affect heat mortality fills an important gap between studies of individual susceptibility to heat and broadly comparative studies of temperature-mortality relationships in cities.
OBJECTIVES: We estimated neighborhood effects of population characteristics and built and natural environments on deaths due to heat exposure in Maricopa County, Arizona (2000-2008).
METHODS: We used 2000 U.S. Census data and remotely sensed vegetation and land surface temperature to construct indicators of neighborhood vulnerability and a geographic information system to map vulnerability and residential addresses of persons who died from heat exposure in 2,081 census block groups. Binary logistic regression and spatial analysis were used to associate deaths with neighborhoods.
RESULTS: Neighborhood scores on three factors-socioeconomic vulnerability, elderly/isolation, and unvegetated area-varied widely throughout the study area. The preferred model (based on fit and parsimony) for predicting the odds of one or more deaths from heat exposure within a census block group included the first two factors and surface temperature in residential neighborhoods, holding population size constant. Spatial analysis identified clusters of neighborhoods with the highest heat vulnerability scores. A large proportion of deaths occurred among people, including homeless persons, who lived in the inner cores of the largest cities and along an industrial corridor.
CONCLUSIONS: Place-based indicators of vulnerability complement analyses of person-level heat risk factors. Surface temperature might be used in Maricopa County to identify the most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods, but more attention to the socioecological complexities of climate adaptation is needed.

AB In this study, a detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of optical absorption properties of indium sulfide (In2S3) nanostructure arrays in different shapes are presented. Zigzags, springs, screws, tilted rods, and vertical rods of In2S3 are grown using a glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. Nanostructured coatings are of similar material volume and porosity, yet with different shapes. Total optical reflection, transmission, and absorption profiles of In2S3 nanostructures are obtained by UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy using an integrating sphere. Measurements reveal that optical absorption of semiconducting nanostructures can strongly depend on their shapes. Under normal incidence of light, 3D geometries such as springs, screws, and vertical rods can provide enhanced absorption compared to zigzags, and tilted rods. Results of finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations predict that spring, screw, and tapered-rod shapes can introduce a uniform distribution of diffracted light intensity and stronger absorption within the nanostructured layer, indicating an enhanced diffuse light scattering and light trapping. Zigzags and tilted rods show a relatively weaker absorption, similar to the experimental results. Experimental and simulation results are also compared to the predictions of effective medium theory. Current effective medium approximations are not sufficient to explain the high optical absorption of the nanostructures.

AB Allophane and imogolite are common alteration products of volcanic materials. Natural and synthetic allophanes and imogolites were characterized in the present study in order to clarify the short-range order of these materials and to gain an understanding of their spectral properties. Spectral analyses included visible/near-infrared (VNIR), and infrared (IR) reflectance of particulate samples and thermal-infrared (TIR) emissivity spectra of particulate and pressed pellets. Spectral features were similar but not identical for allophane and imogolite. In the near-infrared (NIR) region, allophane spectra exhibited a doublet near 7265 and 7120 cm(-1) (1.38 and 1.40 mu m) due to OH2 nu, a broad band near 5220 cm(-1) (1.92 mu m) due to H2O nu+delta, and a band near 4560 cm(-1) (2.19 mu m) due to OH nu+delta. Reflectance spectra of imogolite in this region included a doublet near 7295 and 7190 cm(-1) (1.37 and 1.39 mu m) due to OH2 nu, a broad band near 5200 cm(-1) (1.92 mu m) due to H2O nu+delta, and a band near 4565 cm(-1) (2.19 mu m) due to OH nu+delta. A strong broad band was also observed near 3200-3700 cm(-1) (similar to 2.8-3.1 mu m) which is a composite of OH nu, H2O nu, and H2O2 delta vibrations. Visible/near-infrared spectra were also collected under two relative humidity (RH) conditions. High-RH conditions resulted in increasing band strength for the H2O combination modes near 6900-6930 cm(-1) (1.45 mu m) and 5170-5180 cm(-1) (1.93 mu m) in the allophane and imogolite spectra due to increased abundances of adsorbed H2O molecules. Variation in adsorbed H2O content caused an apparent shift in the bands near 1.4 and 1.9 mu m. A doublet H2O delta vibration was observed at 1600-1670 cm(-1) (similar to 6.0-6.2 mu m) and a band due to OH bending for O3SiOH was observed at similar to 1350-1485 cm(-1) (similar to 6.7-7.4 mu m). The Si-O-Al stretching vibrations occurred near 1030 and 940 cm(-1) (similar to 9.7 and 10.6 mu m) for allophane and near 1010 and 930 cm(-1) (similar to 9.9 and 10.7 mu m) for imogolite. OH out-of-plane bending modes occurred near 610 cm(-1) (16.4 mu m) for allophane and at 595 cm(-1) (16.8 mu m) for imogolite. Features due to Si-O-Al bending vibrations were observed at 545, 420, and 335 cm(-1) (similar to 18, 24, and 30 mu m) for allophane and at 495, 415, and 335 cm(-1) (similar to 20, 24, and 30 mu m) for imogolite. The emissivity spectra were obtained from pressed pellets of the samples, which greatly enhanced the spectral contrast of the TIR absorptions. Predicted NIR bands were calculated from the mid-IR fundamental stretching and bending vibrations and compared with the measured NIR values. Controlled-RH X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments were also performed in order to investigate changes in the mineral structure with changing RH conditions. Both allophane and imogolite exhibited decreasing low-angle XRD intensity with increasing RH, which was probably a result of interactions between H2O molecules and the curved allophane and imogolite structures.

AB Emissions from landscape fires affect both climate and air quality(1). Here, we combine satellite-derived fire estimates and atmospheric modelling to quantify health effects from fire emissions in southeast Asia from 1997 to 2006. This region has large interannual variability in fire activity owing to coupling between El Nino-induced droughts and anthropogenic land-use change(2,3). We show that during strong El Nino years, fires contribute up to 200 mu g m(-3) and 50 ppb in annual average fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone surface concentrations near fire sources, respectively. This corresponds to a fire contribution of 200 additional days per year that exceed the World Health Organization 50 mu g m(-3) 24-hr PM2.5 interim target(4) and an estimated 10,800 (6,800-14,300)-person (similar to 2%) annual increase in regional adult cardiovascular mortality. Our results indicate that reducing regional deforestation and degradation fires would improve public health along with widely established benefits from reducing carbon emissions, preserving biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem services.

AB We report the results of an investigation of particle acceleration and electron-positron plasma generation at low altitude in the polar magnetic flux tubes of rotation-powered pulsars, when the stellar surface is free to emit whatever charges and currents are demanded by the force-free magnetosphere. We apply a new 1D hybrid plasma simulation code to the dynamical problem, using Particle-in-Cell methods for the dynamics of the charged particles, including a determination of the collective electrostatic fluctuations in the plasma, combined with a Monte Carlo treatment of the high-energy gamma-rays that mediate the formation of the electron-positron pairs. We assume the electric current flowing through the pair creation zone is fixed by the much higher inductance magnetosphere, and adopt the results of force-free magnetosphere models to provide the currents which must be carried by the accelerator. The models are spatially one dimensional, and designed to explore the physics, although of practical relevance to young, high-voltage pulsars.
We observe novel behaviour (a) When the current density j is less than the Goldreich-Julian value (0 < j/j(GJ) < 1), space charge limited acceleration of the current carrying beam is mild, with the full Goldreich-Julian charge density comprising the charge densities of the beam and a cloud of electrically trapped particles with the same sign of charge as the beam. The voltage drops are of the order of mc(2)/e, and pair creation is absent. (b) When the current density exceeds the Goldreich-Julian value (j/j(GJ) > 1), the system develops high voltage drops (TV or greater), causing emission of curvature gamma-rays and intense bursts of pair creation. The bursts exhibit limit cycle behaviour, with characteristic time-scales somewhat longer than the relativistic fly-by time over distances comparable to the polar cap diameter (microseconds). (c) In return current regions, where j/j(GJ) < 0, the system develops similar bursts of pair creation. These discharges are similar to those encountered in previous calculations by Timokhin of pair creation when the surface has a high work function and cannot freely emit charge. In cases (b) and (c), the intermittently generated pairs allow the system to simultaneously carry the magnetospherically prescribed currents and adjust the charge density and average electric field to force-free conditions. We also elucidate the conditions for pair creating beam flow to be steady (stationary with small fluctuations in the rotating frame), finding that such steady flows can occupy only a small fraction of the current density parameter space exhibited by the force-free magnetospheric model. The generic polar flow dynamics and pair creation are strongly time dependent. The model has an essential difference from almost all previous quantitative studies, in that we sought the accelerating voltage (with pair creation, when the voltage drops are sufficiently large; without, when they are small) as a function of the applied current.
The 1D results described here characterize the dependence of acceleration and pair creation on the magnitude and sign of current. The dependence on the spatial distribution of the current is amulti-dimensional problem, possibly exhibiting more chaotic behaviour. We briefly outline possible relations of the electric field fluctuations observed in the polar flows (both with and without pair creation discharges) to direct emission of radio waves, as well as revive the possible relation of the observed limit cycle behaviour to microstructure in the radio emission. Actually modelling these effects requires the multi-dimensional treatment, to be reported in a later paper.

AB Recently over 62 pairs of asteroids have been shown to have very similar orbital elements. Backward integration of their orbits indicates that the asteroids in each pair likely had very close encounters at low relative velocities, consistent with models of the spin-up and rotational fission of asteroids. Although linked dynamically, the observation of highly similar spectra would suggest that the asteroids share a common composition, which we would expect if they formed from a common parent body.
We have begun an observational campaign whose aim is to obtain optical and/or NIR spectra of a large sample of these unbound asteroid pairs to determine whether the asteroids in each pair exhibit similar spectra. We present optical spectroscopic observations of four complete pairs obtained using the William Herschel Telescope. We find that the components of pairs 1979-13732 and 19289-278067 share very similar spectra and likely have a common origin. Our current spectra of 17198-229056 are sufficiently different to suggest that they do not have a common origin, although this is contrary to the strong dynamical linkup of these asteroids demonstrated in the current paper and previous studies. Further observations of this pair are encouraged to examine why the spectra are so different. It is unclear whether the spectra of the final pair, 11842-228747, are a match due to the low S/N of the secondary's spectrum. We discuss the process of space weathering and present new dynamical analyses which confirm the previously estimated ages of the observed pairs. The time-scale for space weathering appears to be longer than 1 Myr for at least some pairs. We also present an efficient method which can be used to determine the positional convergence of unbound asteroid pairs.

AB The accurate and precise removal of 21-cm foregrounds from Epoch of Reionization (EoR) redshifted 21-cm emission data is essential if we are to gain insight into an unexplored cosmological era. We apply a non-parametric technique, Generalized Morphological Component Analysis (GMCA), to simulated Low Frequency Array (LOFAR)-EoR data and show that it has the ability to clean the foregrounds with high accuracy. We recover the 21-cm 1D, 2D and 3D power spectra with high accuracy across an impressive range of frequencies and scales. We show that GMCA preserves the 21-cm phase information, especially when the smallest spatial scale data is discarded. While it has been shown that LOFAR-EoR image recovery is theoretically possible using image smoothing, we add that wavelet decomposition is an efficient way of recovering 21-cm signal maps to the same or greater order of accuracy with more flexibility. By comparing the GMCA output residual maps (equal to the noise, 21-cm signal and any foreground fitting errors) with the 21-cm maps at one frequency and discarding the smaller wavelet scale information, we find a correlation coefficient of 0.689, compared to 0.588 for the equivalently smoothed image. Considering only the pixels in a central patch covering 50 per cent of the total map area, these coefficients improve to 0.905 and 0.605, respectively, and we conclude that wavelet decomposition is a significantly more powerful method to denoise reconstructed 21-cm maps than smoothing.

TI Origins of weak lensing systematics, and requirements on future

AB The first half of this paper explores the origin of systematic biases in the measurement of weak gravitational lensing. Compared to previous work, we expand the investigation of point spread function instability and fold in for the first time the effects of non-idealities in electronic imaging detectors and imperfect galaxy shape measurement algorithms. Together, these now explain the additive A(l) and multiplicative M(l) systematics typically reported in current lensing measurements. We find that overall performance is driven by a product of a telescope/camera's absolute performance, and our knowledge about its performance.
The second half of this paper propagates any residual shear measurement biases through to their effect on cosmological parameter constraints. Fully exploiting the statistical power of Stage IV weak lensing surveys will require additive biases (A) over bar less than or similar to 1.8 x 10(-12) and multiplicative biases (M) over bar less than or similar to 4.0 x 10(-3). These can be allocated between individual budgets in hardware, calibration data and software, using results from the first half of the paper.
If instrumentation is stable and well calibrated, we find extant shear measurement software from Gravitational Lensing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) already meet requirements on galaxies detected at signal-to-noise ratio = 40. Averaging over a population of galaxies with a realistic distribution of sizes, it also meets requirements for a 2D cosmic shear analysis from space. If used on fainter galaxies or for 3D cosmic shear tomography, existing algorithms would need calibration on simulations to avoid introducing bias at a level similar to the statistical error. Requirements on hardware and calibration data are discussed in more detail in a companion paper. Our analysis is intentionally general, but is specifically being used to drive the hardware and ground segment performance budget for the design of the European Space Agency's recently selected Euclid mission.

AB We present the mid-infrared (IR) spectra of seven of the most powerful radio-galaxies known to exist at 1.5 < z < 2.6. The radio emission of these sources is dominated by the AGN with 500 MHz luminosities in the range 10(27.8)-10(29.1) W Hz(-1). The AGN signature is clearly evident in the mid-IR spectra; however, we also detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission, indicative of prodigious star formation at a rate of up to similar to 1000 M-circle dot yr(-1). Interestingly, we observe no significant correlation between AGN power and star formation in the host galaxy. We also find most of these radio galaxies to have weak 9.7 mu m silicate absorption features (tau(9.7 mu m) < 0.8) which implies that their mid-IR obscuration is predominantly due to the dusty torus that surrounds the central engine, rather than the host galaxy. The tori are likely to have an inhomogeneous distribution with the obscuring structure consisting of individual clouds. We estimate that these radio galaxies have already formed the bulk of their stellar mass and appear to lie at a stage in their evolution where the obscured AGN dominates the energy output of the system but star formation is also prevalent.

AB We present a census of the disc population for UKIDSS selected brown dwarfs in the 510 Myr old Upper Scorpius OB association. For 116 objects originally identified in UKIDSS, the majority of them not studied in previous publications, we obtain photometry from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer data base. The resulting colour-magnitude and colour-colour plots clearly show two separate populations of objects, interpreted as brown dwarfs with discs (class II) and without discs (class III). We identify 27 class II brown dwarfs, 14 of them not previously known. This disc fraction (27 out of 116, or 23%) among brown dwarfs was found to be similar to results for K/M stars in Upper Scorpius, suggesting that the lifetimes of discs are independent of the mass of the central object for low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. 5 out of 27 discs (19 per cent) lack excess at 3.4 and 4.6 mu m and are potential transition discs (i.e. are in transition from class II to class III). The transition disc fraction is comparable to low-mass stars. We estimate that the time-scale for a typical transition from class II to class III is less than 0.4 Myr for brown dwarfs. These results suggest that the evolution of brown dwarf discs mirrors the behaviour of discs around low-mass stars, with disc lifetimes of the order of 5-10 Myr and a disc clearing time-scale significantly shorter than 1 Myr.

AB We study the significance of major-merger-driven star formation in the early Universe, by quantifying the contribution of this process to the total star formation budget in 80 massive (M-* > 10(10) M-circle dot) galaxies at z similar or equal to 2. Employing visually classified morphologies from rest-frame V-band Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, we find that 55(+/- 14) per cent of the star formation budget is hosted by non-interacting late types, with 27(+/- 8) per cent in major mergers and 18(+/- 6) per cent in spheroids. Given that a system undergoing a major merger continues to experience star formation driven by other processes at this epoch (e. g. cold accretion and minor mergers), similar to 27 per cent is an upper limit to the major-merger contribution to star formation activity at this epoch. The ratio of the average specific star formation rate in major mergers to that in the non-interacting late types is similar to 2.2: 1, suggesting that the enhancement of star formation due to major merging is typically modest, and that just under half the star formation in systems experiencing major mergers is unrelated to the merger itself. Taking this into account, we estimate that the actual major-merger contribution to the star formation budget may be as low as similar to 15 per cent. While our study does not preclude a major-merger-dominated era in the very early Universe, if the major-merger contribution to star formation does not evolve strongly into larger look-back times, then this process has a relatively insignificant role in driving stellar mass assembly over cosmic time.

AB Ultra-high spectral resolution observations of time-varying interstellar absorption towards kappa Vel are reported, using the Ultra-High Resolution Facility on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Detections of interstellar Ca I, Ca II, K I, Na I and CH are obtained, whilst an upper limit on the column density is reported for C-2. The results show continued increases in column densities of K I and Ca I since observations similar to 4 yr earlier, as the transverse motion of the star carried it similar to 10 au perpendicular to the line of sight. Line profile models are fitted to the spectra and two main narrow components (A and B) are identified for all species except CH. The column density N(K I) is found to have increased by 82(-9)(+10) per cent between 1994 and 2006, whilst N(Ca I) is found to have increased by 32 +/- 5 per cent over the shorter period of 2002-2006. The line widths are used to constrain the kinetic temperature to T-k,T- A < 671(-17)(+18) K and T-k,T- B < 114(-14)(+15) K. Electron densities are determined from the Ca I/Ca II ratio, which in turn place lower limits on the total number density of n(A) greater than or similar to 7 x 10(3) cm(-3) and n(B) greater than or similar to 2 x 10(4) cm(-3). Calcium depletions are estimated from the Ca I/K I ratio. Comparison with the chemical models of Bell et al. confirms the high number density, with n = 5 x 10(4) cm(-3) for the best-fitting model. The first measurements of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) towards this star are made at two epochs, but only an upper limit of less than or similar to 40 per cent is placed on their variation over similar to 9 yr. The DIBs are unusually weak for the measured E(B - V) and appear to exhibit similar behaviour to that seen in Orion. The ratio of equivalent widths of the lambda 5780 to lambda 5797 DIBs is amongst the highest known, which may indicate that the carrier of lambda 5797 is more sensitive to ultraviolet radiation than to local density.

AB We study the far-infrared and sub-millimetre properties of a sample of ultraviolet (UV) selected galaxies at z similar to 1.5. Using stacking at 250, 350 and 500 mu m from Herschel Space Observatory Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) imaging of the Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field obtained within the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HERMES) key programme, we derive the mean infrared (IR) luminosity as a function of both UV luminosity and slope of the UV continuum beta. The IR to UV luminosity ratio is roughly constant over most of the UV luminosity range we explore. We also find that the IR to UV luminosity ratio is correlated with beta. We observe a correlation that underestimates the correlation derived from low-redshift starburst galaxies, but is in good agreement with the correlation derived from local normal star-forming galaxies. Using these results we reconstruct the IR luminosity function of our UV-selected sample. This luminosity function recovers the IR luminosity functions measured from IR-selected samples at the faintest luminosities (L-IR similar to 10(11) L-circle dot), but might underestimate them at the bright-end (L-IR greater than or similar to 5 x 10(11) L-circle dot). For galaxies with 10(11) < L-IR/L-circle dot < 10(13), the IR luminosity function of an UV selection recovers (given the differences in IR-based estimates) 52-65 to 89-112 per cent of the star formation rate density derived from an IR selection. The cosmic star formation rate density derived from this IR luminosity function is 61-76 to 100-133 per cent of the density derived from IR selections at the same epoch. Assuming the latest Herschel results and conservative stacking measurements, we use a toy model to fully reproduce the far-IR luminosity function from our UV selection at z similar to 1.5. This suggests that a sample around 4 mag deeper (i.e. reaching u* similar to 30 mag) and a large dispersion of the IR to UV luminosity ratio are required.

AB Using the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope operating at 1.36 GHz, we have performed a targeted radio pulsar survey of 289 unassociated gamma-ray sources discovered by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the Fermi satellite and published in the 1FGL catalogue (Abdo et al. 2010a). This survey resulted in the discovery of millisecond pulsar J1745+1017, which resides in a short-period binary system with a low-mass companion, M-c,M-min similar to 0.0137 M-circle dot, indicative of 'black widow' type systems. A 2-yr timing campaign has produced a refined radio ephemeris, accurate enough to allow for phase-folding of the LAT photons, resulting in the detection of a dual-peaked gamma-ray light curve, proving that PSR J1745+1017 is the source responsible for the gamma-ray emission seen in 1FGL J1745.5+1018 (2FGL J1745.6+1015; Nolan et al. 2012). We find the gamma-ray spectrum of PSR J1745+1017 to be well modelled by an exponentially cut-off power law with cut-off energy 3.2 GeV and photon index 1.6. The observed sources are known to contain a further 10 newly discovered pulsars which were undetected in this survey. Our radio observations of these sources are discussed and in all cases limiting flux densities are calculated. The reasons behind the seemingly low yield of discoveries are also discussed.

TI Circumstellar habitable zones of binary-star systems in the solar

AB Binary and multiple systems constitute more than half of the total stellar population in the solar neighbourhood. Their frequent occurrence as well as the fact that more than 70 planets have already been discovered in such configurations - most notably the telluric companion of a Cen B - make them interesting targets in the search for habitable worlds. Recent studies have shown that despite the variations in gravitational and radiative environment, there are indeed circumstellar regions where planets can stay within habitable insolation limits on secular dynamical time-scales. In this paper, we provide habitable zones for 19 near S-type binary systems from the Hipparcos and Washington Double Star catalogue (WDS) catalogues with semimajor axes between 1 and 100 au. Hereby, we accounted for the combined dynamical and radiative influence of the second star on the Earth-like planet. Out of the 19 systems presented, 17 offer dynamically stable habitable zones around at least one component. The 17 potentially habitable systems contain 5 F, 3 G, 7 K and 16 M class stars. As their proximity to the Solar system (d < 31 pc) makes the selected binary stars exquisite targets for observational campaigns, we offer estimates on radial velocity, astrometric and transit signatures produced by habitable Earth-like planets in eccentric circumstellar orbits.

AB We present Herschel observations at 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500 mu m of the environment of the radio galaxy 4C+41.17 at z = 3.792. About 65 per cent of the extracted sources are securely identified with mid-infrared sources observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8 and 24 mu m. We derive simple photometric redshifts, also including existing 850 and 1200 mu m data, using templates of active galactic nuclei, starburst-dominated systems and evolved stellar populations. We find that most of the Herschel sources are foreground to the radio galaxy and therefore do not belong to a structure associated with 4C+41.17. We do, however, find that the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the closest (similar to 25 arcsec offset) source to the radio galaxy is fully consistent with being at the same redshift as 4C+41.17. We show that finding such a bright source that close to the radio galaxy at the same redshift is a very unlikely event, making the environment of 4C+41.17 a special case. We demonstrate that multiwavelength data, in particular on the Rayleigh-Jeans side of the SED, allow us to confirm or rule out the presence of protocluster candidates that were previously selected by single wavelength data sets.

AB We report results of an extensive analysis of the X-ray nova XTE J1859+226 observed with BeppoSAX and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer during the 1999 source outburst. We modelled the source spectrum with a multicolour blackbody-like feature plus the generic Comptonization model BMC which has the advantage of providing spectral description of the emitted-radiation properties without assumptions on the underlying physical process. The multicolour component is attributed to the geometrically thin accretion disc, while the Comptonization spectrum is claimed to originate in the innermost sub-Keplerian region of the system (transition layer). We find that XTE J1859+226 covers all the spectral states typical of black hole sources during its evolution across the outburst; however, during the very high state, when the disc contribution to the total luminosity is more than 70 per cent and the root mean square variability less than or similar to 5 per cent, the high-energy photon index is closer to a hard state value (Gamma similar to 1.8). The BMC normalization and photon index Gamma well correlate with the radio emission, and we also observed a possible saturation effect of Gamma at the brightest radio emission levels. A strong positive correlation was found between the fractions of Comptonized seed photons and the integrated root mean square variability, which strengthens the idea that most of the fast variability in these systems is attributable to the innermost Compton cloud, which may be also identified as a jet.

AB We report the analysis of a highly magnetized neutron star in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The high-mass X-ray binary pulsar Swift J045106.8-694803 has been observed with Swift X-ray telescope (XRT) in 2008, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 2011 and the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission-Newton (XMM-Newton) in 2012. The change in spin period over these four years indicates a spin-up rate of -5.01 +/- 0.06 s yr(-1), amongst the highest observed for an accreting pulsar. This spin-up rate can be accounted for using Ghosh & Lamb accretion theory assuming it has a magnetic field of (1.2 +/-(0.2)(0.7)) x 10(14) G. This is over the quantum critical field value. There are very few accreting pulsars with such high surface magnetic fields and this is the first of which to be discovered in the LMC. The large spin-up rate is consistent with Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) observations which show that Swift J045106.8-694803 has had a consistently high X-ray luminosity for at least five years. Optical spectra have been used to classify the optical counterpart of Swift J045106.8-694803 as a B0-1 III-V star and a possible orbital period of 21.631 +/- 0.005 d has been found from Massive Compact Halo Object (MACHO) optical photometry.

AB Deep-sea ultramafic-hosted vent systems have the potential to provide large amounts of metabolic energy to both autotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms in their dispersing hydrothermal plumes. Such vent-systems release large quantities of hydrogen and methane to the water column, both of which can be exploited by autotrophic microorganisms. Carbon cycling in these hydrothermal plumes may, therefore, have an important influence on open-ocean biogeochemistry. In this study, we investigated an ultramafic-hosted system on the Mid-Cayman Rise, emitting metal-poor and hydrogen sulfide-, methane-, and hydrogen-rich hydrothermal fluids. Total organic carbon concentrations in the plume ranged between 42.1 and 51.1 mu M (background = 43.2 +/- 0.7 mu M (n = 5)) and near-field plume samples with elevated methane concentrations imply the presence of chemoautotrophic primary production and in particular methanotrophy. In parts of the plume characterized by persistent potential temperature anomalies but lacking elevated methane concentrations, we found elevated organic carbon concentrations of up to 51.1 mu M, most likely resulting from the presence of heterotrophic communities, their extracellular products and vent larvae. Elevated carbon concentrations up to 47.4 mu M were detected even in far-field plume samples. Within the Von Damm hydrothermal plume, we have used our data to hypothesize a microbial food web in which chemoautotrophy supports a heterotrophic community of microorganisms. Such an active microbial food web would provide a source of labile organic carbon to the deep ocean that should be considered in any future studies evaluating sources and sinks of carbon from hydrothermal venting to the deep ocean.

AB Virtual reality and augmented reality environments using helmet-mounted displays create a sense of immersion by closely coupling user head motion to display content. Delays in the presentation of visual information can destroy the sense of presence in the simulation environment when it causes a lag in the display response to user head motion. The effect of display lag can be minimized by predicting head orientation, allowing the system to have sufficient time to counteract the delay. In this paper, a new head orientation prediction technique is proposed that uses a multiple delta quaternion (DQ) extended Kalman filter to track angular head velocity and angular head acceleration. This method is independent of the device used for orientation measurement, relying on quaternion orientation as the only measurement data. A new orientation prediction algorithm is proposed that estimates future head orientation as a function of the current orientation measurement and a predicted change in orientation, using the velocity and acceleration estimates. Extensive experimentation shows that the new method improves head orientation prediction when compared to single filter DQ prediction.

AB Precise mappings of sea surface topography, slope, and gravity of the Arctic Ocean are derived from altimeter data collected by Envisat and ICESat. Both altimeters measured instantaneous sea surface height at leads in the sea ice. To reduce contamination by ice-freeboard signal and tracker noise in Envisat height data, a retracking of the waveform data was performed. Analogous reprocessing of ICESat data was also done. Arctic mean sea surfaces (MSSs) were computed from Envisat data spanning 2002-2008 and ICESat data spanning 2003-2009. Farrell et al. (2012) used these "ICEn" MSSs to estimate mean dynamic topography (MDT). These same Envisat and ICESat data are used, in sea-surface-slope form, to compute the ARCtic Satellite-only (ARCS-2) altimetric marine gravity field. ARCS-2 extends north to 86 degrees N and uses GRACE/GOCE gravity data (GOCO02S) for its long-wavelength (>260 km) components. Use of Envisat data improves the spatial resolution over that of existing Arctic marine gravity fields in many areas. ARCS-2's spatial resolution aids in tracing tectonic fabric-e. g., extinct plate boundaries-over broad areas of the Arctic basin whose tectonic origin remains a mystery. ARCS-2's precision is validated using NASA 2010/2011 Operation IceBridge (OIB) airborne gravimetry. ARCS-2 and OIB gravity along with ICEn-MSS results are employed to locate short-wavelength errors approaching 1 m in current Arctic marine geoids (EGM2008). Precise OIB airborne gravity corroborates that such errors in current geoid/gravity models are widespread in Arctic areas lacking accurate surface gravity data. These geoid errors limit the spatial resolution at which MDT can be mapped. Citation: McAdoo, D. C., S. L. Farrell, S. Laxon, A. Ridout, H. J. Zwally, and D.

AB [1] We characterize middle-atmosphere polar warming (PW) using nearly three Martian years of temperature observations by the Mars Climate Sounder. We report the observed structure of PW and share hypotheses as to possible explanations, which have yet to be tested with global dynamical models. In the data, PW manifested between p = 15 Pa and p(-)4.8 x 10(-3) Pa. The latitude where PW maximized shifted poleward with decreasing pressure. The nightside magnitude was larger than the dayside magnitude. The maximum nightside magnitudes ranged from 22 to 67 K. As expected, the annual maximum magnitude in the north occurred during late-local fall to middle-local winter. In the south it occurred during late-local winter. Also as expected, the maximum magnitude near MY 28' s southern winter solstice was smaller than that at that same year's northern winter solstice, when a global dust storm was occurring. Unexpectedly, the maximum magnitude at southern winter solstice was comparable to that at northern winter solstice for both MY 29 and MY 30, years that did not experience global dust storms but certainly experienced greater dust loading during L-s = 270 degrees than L-s= 90 degrees Another unexpected result was a hemispheric asymmetry in PW magnitude during most of the observed equinoxes. This paper also provides tables of (1) averaged temperatures as a function of latitude, pressure, and season, and (2) the maximum polar warming features as a function of pressure and season. These tables can be used to validate GCM calculations of middle-atmosphere temperatures and constrain calculations of unobserved winds. Citation: McDunn T., S. Bougher, J. Murphy, A. Kleinbohl, F.

AB [1] Orientale Basin is the youngest and best-preserved large impact basin on the Moon with at least four topographic rings contained within the topographic rim marked by the Cordillera Ring (diameter = 930 km). Its well-exposed interior makes this basin a prime location to study basin formation processes. Forward mechanical modeling of basin ring topography shows that the outermost rings, the Cordillera Ring (CR) and Outer Rook Ring (ORR) are large-scale normal faults with displacements (D) of 0.8 to 5.2 km, fault dip angles (partial derivative) of 54 degrees to 80 degrees, and vertical depth of faulting (T) between 19 and 37 km with most faults having T= 30 +/- 5 km. These faults and the distribution of maria inside the basin suggest that the transient crater, important for determining many impact-related characteristics such as projectile size, was contained entirely within the ORR and likely had a diameter between 500 and 550 km. The difference in crustal thickness between the western and eastern sides of the basin is not a result of the basin-forming event, which indicates the formation of the hemispheric crustal thickness asymmetry was likely before the formation of Orientale Basin 3.68 to 3.85 Ga.

AB Near-infrared spectra taken in a limb-viewing geometry by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter provide a useful tool for probing atmospheric structure. Specifically, the observed radiance as a function of wavelength and height above the limb enables the vertical distribution of both dust and water ice aerosols to be retrieved. More than a dozen sets of CRISM limb observations have been taken so far providing pole-to-pole cross sections, spanning more than a full Martian year. Radiative transfer modeling is used to model the observations taking into account multiple scattering from aerosols and the spherical geometry of the limb observations. Both dust and water ice vertical profiles often show a significant vertical structure for nearly all seasons and latitudes that is not consistent with the well-mixed or Conrath-v assumptions that have often been used in the past for describing aerosol vertical profiles for retrieval and modeling purposes. Significant variations are seen in the retrieved vertical profiles of dust and water ice aerosol as a function of season. Dust typically extends to higher altitudes (similar to 40-50km) during the perihelion season than during the aphelion season (<20km), and the Hellas region consistently shows more dust mixed to higher altitudes than other locations. Detached water ice clouds are common, and water ice aerosols are observed to cap the dust layer in all seasons. Citation: Smith, M. D., M. J. Wolff, R. T. Clancy, A. Kleinbohl, and S. L.

AB The estimated excavation depth of the huge Rheasilvia impact basin is nearly twice the likely thickness of the Vestan basaltic crust, so the mantle should be exposed. Spectral mapping by the Dawn spacecraft reveals orthopyroxene-rich materials, similar to diogenite meteorites, in the deepest parts of the basin and within its walls. Significant amounts of olivine are predicted for the mantles of bulk-chondritic bodies like Vesta, and its occurrence is demonstrated by some diogenites that are harzburgite and dunite. However, olivine has so far escaped detection by Dawn's instruments. Spectral detection of olivine in the presence of orthopyroxene is difficult in samples with < 25% olivine, and olivine in Rheasilvia might have been diluted during impact mixing or covered by the collapse of basin walls. The distribution of diogenite inferred from its exposures in and around Rheasilvia provides a geologic context for the formation of these meteorites, but does not clearly distinguish between a magmatic cumulate versus partial melting restite origin for diogenites. The former is favored by geochemical arguments, and crystallization in either a magma ocean or multiple plutons emplaced near the crust-mantle boundary is permitted by Dawn observations.

AB A strong spatial association between bipolar electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) and magnetic current sheets (CSs) in the solar wind is reported here for the first time. This association requires that the plasma instabilities (e. g., Buneman, electron two stream) which generate ESWs are preferentially localized to solar wind CSs. Distributions of CS properties (including shear angle, thickness, solar wind speed, and vector magnetic field change) are examined for differences between CSs associated with ESWs and randomly chosen CSs. Possible mechanisms for producing ESW-generating instabilities at solar wind CSs are considered, including magnetic reconnection. Citation: Malaspina, D. M., D. L. Newman, L. B. Willson III, K.

ID MAGNETOSPHERIC SUBSTORM; GROWTH-PHASE; BEHAVIOR; TAIL
AB We report on the dynamics of low-altitude energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions during two substorms that occurred during the main phases of two storms: (1) a CIR-driven storm on 11 October 2008 and (2) a coronal mass ejection (CME)-driven storm on 5 April 2010. For both of these storms, we have complementary spacecraft and ground-based observations. The dual-spacecraft Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) mission obtained ENA images containing low-altitude emissions (LAEs). Substorm dynamics is inferred from THEMIS all-sky imagers. TWINS-observed LAEs are compared with trapped/loss cone proton fluxes from the low-altitude NOAA/MetOp spacecraft constellation. We find that the timing and intensity profiles of LAEs are different for the two selected events. For the 11 October 2008 event, the LAEs rise during substorm recovery phase and storm main phase. On 5 April 2010, the LAEs tend to peak near substorm onset. We argue that the different LAE behavior results from different pitch-angle distributions (PADs) of the ion source population. Ion PADs are isotropic during substorm recovery phase for the 11 October 2008 event and have empty loss cone for the 5 April 2010 event. For both cases, LAE intensification marks the onset of activity in the magnetotail and precedes the large substorm onset. We conclude that the LAE production starts in the transition region between the magnetotail and ring current and may expand/move into the inner magnetosphere together with ring current formation.

POPULATIONS; ASSOCIATION; SIMULATIONS; ISEE-2
AB We use several global hybrid (kinetic ions, fluid electrons) simulation runs for steady and time-varying interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions to examine the dynamics of the foreshock compressional boundary (FCB) and its connection to foreshock cavities. The results demonstrate that for steady IMF conditions, the FCB forms and evolves over a long period of time due to the dynamics of the bow shock and ion foreshock. Formation of the FCB is tied to the generation and nonlinear evolution of ULF waves associated with large-amplitude fluctuations in magnetic field and density within the foreshock. As a result, even during steady IMF conditions, the transitions in the magnetic field strength and direction across an FCB evolve. Although the FCB itself is associated with increases in the magnetic field strength and density, these quantities are reduced on the turbulent side of the FCB as compared to the pristine solar wind. Hybrid simulations with time-varying IMF have been performed to examine the relationship between the FCB and foreshock cavities generated under two possible scenarios. In the first scenario, a bundle of field lines connects to an otherwise quasi-perpendicular bow shock and results in the formation of a finite-sized foreshock region that travels with this bundle of field lines as it connects to different parts of the bow shock surface. Two FCBs bound the traveling foreshock region. In the second scenario, solar wind discontinuities cause the IMF cone angle (angle between the IMF and the solar wind flow direction) to vary and thereby modify the foreshock geometry and the position of the FCB. We demonstrate that structures similar to foreshock cavities bounded by FCBs form in both scenarios. We show that the two scenarios cannot be distinguished based on convecting or nonconvecting FCBs. We also demonstrate that depending on spacecraft location and the nature of the solar wind discontinuities, foreshock cavities may be bounded by an FCB on one side and a foreshock bubble on the other.

AB The column number density ratio of atomic oxygen to molecular nitrogen (O/N-2 ratio) provided by the Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) onboard the Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite has been used as a diagnostic of the thermospheric neutral composition. However, a recent study claimed that the GUVI O/N-2 ratio is not a pure thermospheric parameter in low latitudes during periods of low geomagnetic activity. This study quantifies the O/N-2 ratio contamination by the ionosphere using the GUVI observations and model ionosphere acquired from 31 August to 2 September 2002. During this period, the local time of the GUVI observation was near 1500 and the average Kp index was 2 degrees. The 135.6nm emission originated from the ionosphere is estimated using the electron density profiles provided by the Utah State University-Global Assimilation of Ionospheric Measurements model. Our results show that the 135.6nm emission originated from the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) contributes 5 similar to 10% to the total 135.6nm intensity and O/N-2 ratio. The EIA feature and longitudinal wave patterns in the GUVI 135.6nm intensity maps are identified above an altitude of 300km and show a good agreement with those in the F region plasma density. However, the EIA feature and longitudinal wave patterns do not appear in the GUVI 135.6nm intensity maps below an altitude of 300km and in the GUVI N-2 Lyman-Birge-Hopfield band intensity maps in any altitude. These observations indicate that the longitudinal wave patterns in the GUVI O/N-2 ratio represent the ionospheric phenomenon. Citation: Kil, H., W. K. Lee, J. Shim, L. J. Paxton, and Y.

AB A self-consistent approach to superthermal electron (SE) transport along closed field lines in the inner magnetosphere is used to examine the concept of plasmaspheric transparency, magnetospheric trapping, and SE energy deposition to the thermal electrons. The dayside SE population is generated both by photoionization of the thermosphere and by secondary electron production from impact ionization when the photoelectrons collide with upper atmospheric neutral particles. It is shown that a self-consistent approach to this problem produces significant changes, in comparison with other approaches, in the SE energy exchange between the plasmasphere and the two magnetically conjugate ionospheres. In particular, plasmaspheric transparency can vary by a factor of two depending on the thermal plasma content along the field line and the illumination conditions of the two conjugate ionospheres. This variation in plasmaspheric transparency as a function of thermal plasma and ionospheric conditions increases with L-shell, as the field line gets longer and the equatorial pitch angle extent of the fly-through zone gets smaller. The inference drawn from these results is that such a self-consistent approach to SE transport and energy deposition should be included to ensure robustness in ionosphere-magnetosphere modeling networks.

AB We compared the global plasmaspheric total electron content (pTEC) with the ionospheric TEC (iTEC) simultaneously measured by Jason-1 satellite during the declining phase of solar cycle 23 (2002-2009) to investigate the global morphology of the plasmaspheric density in relation to the ionosphere. Our study showed that the plasmaspheric density structures fundamentally follow the ionosphere, but there are also significant differences between them. Although the diurnal variations are very similar to each region, the plasmasphere shows much weaker variations, only approximately 1 TECU day-night difference. By analyzing the day-night differences in the plasmasphere, we found that the plasmaspheric contribution to the nighttime ionosphere does not increase with solar activity and the largest contribution occurs during June solstice. The plasmasphere shows similar seasonal variations to the ionosphere, except for the semiannual variation, which is essentially absent in the plasmasphere. There is also an important difference in the annual variation: although the annual variation in the ionosphere exists regardless of longitude, it occurs only at American sector in the plasmasphere. As solar activity increases to moderate level, the pTEC substantially enhances from approximately 2 to 4 TECU at the initial increase of solar activity below F10.7p = 100 and then quickly slows down while the iTEC almost linearly enhances. Although it is well known that magnetic storms are the major source of plasmaspheric density depletion, pTEC does not show this aspect of the plasmasphere probably due to the relatively small K-p values for high magnetic activity (K-p > 2.5) in the current study.

AB In this study, we use observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission to evaluate freshwater storage trends in the north-central Middle East, including portions of the Tigris and Euphrates River Basins and western Iran, from January 2003 to December 2009. GRACE data show an alarming rate of decrease in total water storage of approximately -27.2 +/- 0.6 mm yr(-1) equivalent water height, equal to a volume of 143.6 km(3) during the course of the study period. Additional remote-sensing information and output from land surface models were used to identify that groundwater losses are the major source of this trend. The approach used in this study provides an example of "best current capabilities" in regions like the Middle East, where data access can be severely limited. Results indicate that the region lost 17.3 +/- 2.1 mm yr(-1) equivalent water height of groundwater during the study period, or 91.3 +/- 10.9 km(3) in volume. Furthermore, results raise important issues regarding water use in transboundary river basins and aquifers, including the necessity of international water use treaties and resolving discrepancies in international water law, while amplifying the need for increased monitoring for core components of the water budget.

AB Satellite remote sensing technology has contributed to the transformation of multiple earth science domains, putting space observations at the forefront of innovation in earth science. With new satellite missions being launched every year, new types of earth science data are being incorporated into science models and decision-making systems in a broad array of organizations. Policy guidance can influence the degree to which user needs influence mission design and when, and ensure that satellite missions serve both the scientific and user communities without becoming unfocused and overly expensive. By considering the needs of the user community early on in the mission-design process, agencies can ensure that satellites meet the needs of multiple constituencies. This paper describes the mission development process in NASA and ESA and compares and contrasts the successes and challenges faced by these agencies as they try to balance science and applications within their missions.

AB An atomic force microscope (AFM) is presented as an instrument for rapid, miniaturized chromatography. The AFM is used to inject a sample, provide shear driven liquid flow over a functionalized substrate, and detect separated components. The components are then analyzed with surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy using AFM deposition of gold nanoparticles on the separated bands. This AFM mediated chromatography (AFM-MC) is demonstrated using lipophilic dyes and normal phase chemistry. A significant reduction in both size and separation time scales is achieved with 25 mu m length scale and 1 s separation times. AFM-MC has general applications to trace chemical analysis and microfluidics. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4792380]

AB The goal of our study is to identify free radical formation pathways on mineral surfaces. Organic molecules on early Earth might have been modified or decomposed by such pathways, thus affecting the total organic inventory for prebiotic synthesis reactions. Specifically, we evaluated several common oxide minerals under a range of environmental conditions and combinations of conditions (pH, O-2 level, UV-wavelength, and particle loading), for formation of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the oxide surfaces by quantifying the generated [OH center dot] and [H2O2]. We identified anatase/rutile (beta-TiO2/alpha-TiO2) and hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) as active in ROS production and, importantly, found different dominant pathways for ROS formation on anatase/rutile versus hematite. Hydroxyl radicals (OH center dot) in anatase and rutile suspensions were generated mainly through the oxidation of OH- by photo-generated holes and H2O2 was generated through the combination of an OH center dot radical with an OH- and a hole. This pathway for the TiO2 phases did not require the presence of O-2, and was not shut down under anaerobic conditions. In contrast, formation of H2O2 and OH center dot in hematite suspensions involved reduction of O-2 by electrons, which was inhibited under anaerobic conditions. The surface ROS as well as free radicals formed by reactions with other gases on early Earth atmosphere were capable of destroying molecules such as lipids and pre-RNA or RNA essential to assembly of protocells and survival of the earliest cells. At the same time, surface associated ROS and other free radicals may also have promoted aminoamide formation. Thus, the surface ROS would have affected prebiotic organic compound inventory and protocell/early life evolution. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The redox balance of the Archean atmosphere-ocean system is among the most significant uncertainties in our understanding of the earliest history of Earth's surface zone. Most workers agree that oxygen did not constitute a significant proportion of the atmosphere until after ca. 2.45 Ga, after the Great Oxidation Event, but there is less agreement on when O-2 production began, and how this may have been consumed by reduced species such as Fe(II) in the oceans. The Fe redox cycle through time has been traced using banded iron formations (BIFs), and Fe isotopes are increasingly used to constrain the conditions of Earth's paleoenvironments, including the pathways of formation of BIFs. Iron isotope analyses of BIFs from the 3.7 to 3.8 Ga Isua Supracrustal Belt (ISB), obtained by micro-sampling of magnetite-rich layers and conventional analysis, as well as by in situ femtosecond laser ablation (fs-LA-ICP-MS), indicate a consistently narrow range of non-zero delta Fe-56 values. Analysis of magnetite by fs-LA-ICP-MS allows for precise and accurate micron-scale analyses without the problems of orientation effects that are associated with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analyses. Magnetite delta Fe-56 values range from +0.4 parts per thousand to +1.1 parts per thousand among different bands, but within individual layers magnetite grains are mostly homogeneous. Although these BIFs have been metamorphosed to amphibolite-facies, the metamorphism can neither explain the range in Fe isotope compositions across bands, nor that between hand samples. The isotopic compositions therefore reflect "primary", low-temperature sedimentary values. The positive delta Fe-56 values measured from the ISB magnetites are best explained by deposition of Fe(III)-oxides produced by partial oxidation of Fe(II)-rich ocean water. A dispersion/reaction model, which accounts for rates of hydrothermal Fe(II)(aq) input, rates of oxidation, and rates of Fe(OH)(3) settling suggests exceptionally low O-2 contents, <0.001% of modern O-2 contents in the photic zone. Such low levels suggest an anoxygenic pathway is more likely, and the data can be well modeled by anoxygenic photosynthetic Fe(II) oxidation. Comparison of the Fe isotope data from the Isua BIFs with those from the 2.5 Ga BIFs from the Hamersley and Transvaal basins (Australia and South Africa, respectively) suggests a striking difference in Fe sources and pathways. The 2.5 Ga magnetite facies BIFs of Australia and South Africa have delta Fe-56 values that range from -1.2 parts per thousand to +1.2 parts per thousand over small scales, and are on average close to 0 parts per thousand, which is significantly lower than those reported here from the Isua BIFs. The wide range in Fe isotope compositions for the Hamersley and Transvaal BIFs, in concert with C and O isotope data, have been interpreted to reflect bacterial dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction (DIR). The absence of low delta Fe-56 values in the Isua BIFs, as well as the lack of fine-scale isotopic heterogeneity, may indicate formation prior to widespread DIR. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB This study assesses univariate and multivariate spatial regression models for predicting individual tree structure variables using Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) covariates. Many studies have used covariates derived from LiDAR to help explain the variability in tree, stand, or forest variables at a fine spatial resolution across a specified domain. Few studies use regression models capable of accommodating residual spatial dependence between field measurements. Failure to acknowledge this spatial dependence can result in biased and perhaps misleading inference about the importance of LiDAR covariates and erroneous prediction. Accommodating residual spatial dependence, via spatial random effects, helps to meet basic model assumptions and, as illustrated in this study, can improve model fit and prediction. When multiple correlated tree structure variables are considered, it is attractive to specify joint models that are able to estimate the within tree covariance structure and use it for subsequent prediction for unmeasured trees. We capture within tree residual covariances by specifying a model with multivariate spatial random effects. The univariate and multivariate spatial random effects models are compared to those without random effects using a data set collected on the U.S. Forest Service Penobscot Experimental Forest, Maine. These data comprise individual tree measurements including geographic position, height, average crown length, average crown radius, and diameter at breast height.

AB A space-based full-waveform LiDAR system, optimised for vegetation analysis, offers the opportunity for global biophysical parameter retrieval of the world's forests. However the conditions under which signals from the ground and vegetation can be detected will vary as a result of sensor specifications, vegetation characteristics and underlying surface properties. This paper demonstrates the utility of a ray tracing radiative transfer model for assessing sensitivity to site-specific conditions (e. g., topography, canopy and ground reflectance) that will improve our ability to estimate structural parameters in forest ecosystems.
Specifications for the LiDAR instrument planned for NASA's Deformation, Ecosystem Structure and Dynamics of Ice (DESDynI) mission, a vegetation-focused mission that was cancelled in 2011, were used to explore the effect of slope on the estimation of vegetation height. Slope was a limitation for NASA's previous satellite LiDAR mission, ICESat, which used a large, 70 m footprint, designed primarily for cryospheric applications.
Simulations with the FLIGHT model suggested that the smaller footprint (similar to 25 m diameter) would enable ground to be reliably identified with automated peak-finding algorithms for canopy cover of 77% and slopes up to 30 degrees. The challenging objective of detecting a ground signal for almost complete canopy closure of 98% was achieved in the simulations for slopes up to 10 degrees.
These results suggest that a satellite LiDAR instrument optimised for vegetation analysis will provide good estimates of vegetation height for all but the most extreme forest environments. The reduced footprint diameter in comparison with the ICESat instrument, GLAS, and continuous along-track sampling will provide a unique dataset to allow improved confidence of the distribution of forest parameters.

AB In this study, we quantify vegetation fire activity in India using the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) active fire datasets. We assessed different fire regime attributes, i.e., fire frequency, seasonality, intensity and the type of vegetation burnt in diverse geographical regions. MODIS data from 2002-2010 revealed an average of 63696 fire counts per year with the highest during 2009. Fire season in India extends from October to June with the peak during March. The K-means algorithm identified hotspot regions of fire clusters in diverse regions of India. We examined fire radiative power (FRP) data in the hotspot regions to address which fires burn intensively than others based on the vegetation type. We first assessed the best statistical fit distributions for the FRP data using the probability density functions (PDFs) and ranked them based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic. We then described the fire intensities using empirical cumulative distribution functions (CDFs). Results suggest diverse pdfs for the FRP data that included Burr, Dagum, Johnson as well as Pearson distribution and they varied based on the vegetation type burnt. Analysis from empirical CDFs suggested relatively high fire intensity for closed broadleaved evergreen/ semi-deciduous forests than the other vegetation types. Although, annual sum of FRP for agricultural fires was less than the closed broadleaved evergreen forests, the values were higher than the mosaic vegetation category and broadleaved deciduous forests. These results on fire hotspots and FRP will be useful to address the impact of vegetation fires on air pollution and climate in India.

AB The advent of phylogenetic DNA microarrays and high-throughput pyrosequencing technologies has dramatically increased the resolution and accuracy of detection of distinct microbial lineages in mixed microbial assemblages. Despite an expanding array of approaches for detecting microbes in a given sample, rapid and robust means of assessing the differential viability of these cells, as a function of phylogenetic lineage, remain elusive. In this study, pre-PCR propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment was coupled with downstream pyrosequencing and PhyloChip DNA microarray analyses to better understand the frequency, diversity and distribution of viable bacteria in spacecraft assembly cleanrooms. Sample fractions not treated with PMA, which were indicative of the presence of both live and dead cells, yielded a great abundance of highly diverse bacterial pyrosequences. In contrast, only 1% to 10% of all of the pyrosequencing reads, arising from a few robust bacterial lineages, originated from sample fractions that had been pre-treated with PMA. The results of PhyloChip analyses of PMA-treated and -untreated sample fractions were in agreement with those of pyrosequencing. The viable bacterial population detected in cleanrooms devoid of spacecraft hardware was far more diverse than that observed in cleanrooms that housed mission-critical spacecraft hardware. The latter was dominated by hardy, robust organisms previously reported to survive in oligotrophic cleanroom environments. Presented here are the findings of the first ever comprehensive effort to assess the viability of cells in low-biomass environmental samples, and correlate differential viability with phylogenetic affiliation.

AB El Nino events, the warm phase of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), are known to affect other tropical ocean basins through teleconnections. Conversely, mounting evidence suggests that temperature variability in the Atlantic Ocean may also influence ENSO variability(1-5). Here we use reanalysis data and general circulation models to show that sea surface temperature anomalies in the north tropical Atlantic during the boreal spring can serve as a trigger for ENSO events. We identify a subtropical teleconnection in which spring warming in the north tropical Atlantic can induce a low-level cyclonic atmospheric flow over the eastern Pacific Ocean that in turn produces a low-level anticyclonic flow over the western Pacific during the following months. This flow generates easterly winds over the western equatorial Pacific that cool the equatorial Pacific and may trigger a La Nina event the following winter. In addition, El Nino events led by cold anomalies in the north tropical Atlantic tend to be warm-pool El Nino events, with a centre of action located in the central Pacific(6,7), rather than canonical El Nino events. We suggest that the identification of temperature anomalies in the north tropical Atlantic could help to forecast the development of different types of El Nino event.

AB By the time eukaryotic life or photosynthesis evolved on Earth, the martian surface had become extremely inhospitable, but the subsurface of Mars could potentially have contained a vast microbial biosphere. Crustal fluids may have welled up from the subsurface to alter and cement surface sediments, potentially preserving clues to subsurface habitability. Here we present a conceptual model of subsurface habitability of Mars and evaluate evidence for groundwater upwelling in deep basins. Many ancient, deep basins lack evidence for groundwater activity. However, McLaughlin Crater, one of the deepest craters on Mars, contains evidence for Mg-Fe-bearing clays and carbonates that probably formed in an alkaline, groundwater-fed lacustrine setting. This environment strongly contrasts with the acidic, water-limited environments implied by the presence of sulphate deposits that have previously been suggested to form owing to groundwater upwelling. Deposits formed as a result of groundwater upwelling on Mars, such as those in McLaughlin Crater, could preserve critical evidence of a deep biosphere on Mars. We suggest that groundwater upwelling on Mars may have occurred sporadically on local scales, rather than at regional or global scales.

TI Comparison between hybrid and fully kinetic models of asymmetric
magnetic reconnection: Coplanar and guide field configurations
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS

ID ELECTRON PHYSICS; MAGNETOPAUSE; TRANSPORT; DENSITY; PLASMAS; LAYER
AB Magnetic reconnection occurring in collisionless environments is a multi-scale process involving both ion and electron kinetic processes. Because of their small mass, the electron scales are difficult to resolve in numerical and satellite data, it is therefore critical to know whether the overall evolution of the reconnection process is influenced by the kinetic nature of the electrons, or is unchanged when assuming a simpler, fluid, electron model. This paper investigates this issue in the general context of an asymmetric current sheet, where both the magnetic field amplitude and the density vary through the discontinuity. A comparison is made between fully kinetic and hybrid kinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection in coplanar and guide field systems. The models share the initial condition but differ in their electron modeling. It is found that the overall evolution of the system, including the reconnection rate, is very similar between both models. The best agreement is found in the guide field system, which confines particle better than the coplanar one, where the locality of the moments is violated by the electron bounce motion. It is also shown that, contrary to the common understanding, reconnection is much faster in the guide field system than in the coplanar one. Both models show this tendency, indicating that the phenomenon is driven by ion kinetic effects and not electron ones. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4792250]

ID MAGNETIC-FIELD; ACCELERATION; PLASMA; WAVE
AB This paper presents averaged equations of particle motion in an electromagnetic wave of arbitrary frequency with its wave vector directed along the ambient magnetic field. The particle is also subjected to an (E) over right arrow x (B) over right arrow B drift and a background electric field slowly changing in space and acting along the magnetic field line. The fields, wave amplitude, and the wave vector depend on the coordinate along the magnetic field line. The derivations of the ponderomotive forces are done by assuming that the drift velocity in the ambient magnetic field is comparable to the particle velocity. Such a scenario leads to new ponderomotive forces, dependent on the wave magnetic field intensity, and, as a result, to the additional energy exchange between the wave and the plasma particles. It is found that the parallel electric field can lead to the change of the particle-wave energy exchange rate comparable to that produced by the previously discussed ponderomotive forces.

ID ORTHOPOSITRONIUM; HE
AB While carrying out investigations on Ps-He scattering it was discovered that it would be possible to improve the results of a previous work on zero-energy scattering of ortho-positronium by helium atoms. The previous work used a model to account for exchange and also attempted to include the effect of short-range Coulomb interactions in the close-coupling approximation. The three terms that were then included did not produce a well-converged result but served to give some justification to the model. Now we improve the calculation by using a simple variational wave function, and derive a much better value of the scattering length. The new result is compared with other computed values, and when an approximate correction due to the van der Waals potential is included the total is consistent with an earlier conjecture.

AB The variable high-order multiblock overlapping (overset) grids method of Sjogreen & Yee [CiCP, Vol. 5, 2009] for a perfect gas has been extended to nonequilibrium flows. This work makes use of the recently developed high-order well-balanced shock-capturing schemes and their filter counterparts [Wang et al., J. Comput. Phys., 2009, 2010] that exactly preserve certain non-trivial steady state solutions of the chemical nonequilibrium governing equations. Multiscale turbulence with strong shocks and flows containing both steady and unsteady components is best treated by mixing of numerical methods and switching on the appropriate scheme in the appropriate subdomains of the flow fields, even under the multiblock grid or adaptive grid refinement framework. While low dissipative sixth- or higher-order shock-capturing filter methods are appropriate for unsteady turbulence with shocklets, second- and third-order shock-capturing methods are more effective for strong steady or nearly steady shocks in terms of convergence. It is anticipated that our variable high-order overset grid framework capability with its highly modular design will allow for an optimum synthesis of these new algorithms in such a way that the most appropriate spatial discretizations can be tailored for each particular region of the flow. In this paper some of the latest developments in single block high-order filter schemes for chemical nonequilibrium flows are applied to overset grid geometries. The numerical approach is validated on a number of test cases characterized by hypersonic conditions with strong shocks, including the reentry flow surrounding a 3D Apollo-like NASA Crew Exploration Vehicle that might contain mixed steady and unsteady components, depending on the flow conditions.

AB The dependency of global mean thermosteric sea level changes to temperature at different depths down to 700 m is investigated from 1960 to 2010 using two separate gridded temperature datasets, and compared with reconstructed estimates of sea level change. The rates of thermosteric sea level changes are closely correlated with those of reconstructed sea level changes with correlation coefficients larger than 0.8, but the former has smaller amplitudes than the latter, indicating contributions to total sea level change from processes other than upper ocean temperature changes examined here. Most of the net thermosteric sea level rise (similar to 92%) can be attributed to temperature changes of the upper ocean (0-300 m), but an intriguing temporal lag is found between thermal anomalies of the upper (0-300 m) and lower (300-700 m) layers in the historical temperature datasets, suggestive of a time-lag associated with heat penetrating from the surface into deeper layers of the ocean. Results of global mean thermosteric sea level estimates from the two different temperature datasets are found to be consistent with each other in time and in depth. Published by Elsevier B.V.

ID OVERHUNG ROTORS; TORQUE; FORCE
AB The dynamic stability of shear-flexible rotating shaft with a disk under axial forces has been studied by employing the transfer matrix method. The conventional transfer matrix was modified to include both the applied axial force and the shear deformation. The shear effect is considered based on Engesser's and Haringx's buckling theories for shear-flexible beam. A computer program was developed to investigate the influence of both the axial force and the shear deformation on the stability and the natural frequencies of general rotor systems. Two rotor system models are considered: the overhung rotor with or without an intermediate support and the simply supported Jeffcott rotor. The effect of shear deformation and the difference between the Engesser and Haringx approaches increase with an intermediate support for an overhung rotor.

AB Molecularly targeted therapeutics (MTT) are the future of cancer systemic therapy. They have already moved from palliative therapy for advanced solid malignancies into the setting of curative-intent treatment for early-stage disease. Cardiotoxicity is a frequent and potentially serious adverse complication of some targeted therapies, leading to a broad range of potentially life-threatening complications, therapy discontinuation, and poor quality of life. Low-cost pleiotropic interventions are therefore urgently required to effectively prevent and/or treat MTT-induced cardiotoxicity. Aerobic exercise therapy has the unique capacity to modulate, without toxicity, multiple gene expression pathways in several organ systems, including a plethora of cardiac-specific molecular and cell-signaling pathway simplicated in MTT-induced cardiac toxicity. In this review, we examine the molecular signaling of antiangiogenic and HER2-directed therapies that may underpin cardiac toxicity and the hypothesized molecular mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective properties of aerobic exercise. It is hoped that this knowledge can be used to maximize the benefits of small molecule inhibitors, while minimizing cardiac damage in patients with solid malignancies. The Oncologist 2013;18:221-231

The SiO2 passivation of the nanowires was adopted to lessen the thermal energy dissipation to the surroundings and as a result, the set/reset voltages and the corresponding power requirements have been reduced. The measured low frequency noise characteristics exhibit a typical 1/f noise behavior and show the same noise level after the SiO2 passivation. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Most of currently reported models for predicting PM2.5 concentrations from satellite retrievals of aerosol optical depth are global methods without considering local variations, which might introduce significant biases into prediction results. In this paper, a geographically weighted regression model was developed to examine the relationship among PM2.5, aerosol optical depth, meteorological parameters, and land use information. Additionally, two meteorological datasets, North American Regional Reanalysis and North American Land Data Assimilation System, were fitted into the model separately to compare their performances. The study area is centered at the Atlanta Metro area, and data were collected from various sources for the year 2003. The results showed that the mean local R-2 of the models using North American Regional Reanalysis was 0.60 and those using North American Land Data Assimilation System reached 0.61. The root mean squared prediction error showed that the prediction accuracy was 82.7% and 83.0% for North American Regional Reanalysis and North American Land Data Assimilation System in model fitting, respectively, and 69.7% and 72.1% in cross validation. The results indicated that geographically weighted regression combined with aerosol optical depth, meteorological parameters, and land use information as the predictor variables could generate a better fit and achieve high accuracy in PM2.5 exposure estimation, and North American Land Data Assimilation System could be used as an alternative of North American Regional Reanalysis to provide some of the meteorological fields.

AB The Trans-Baikal (or Zabailkal'e) region includes the forest-steppe ecotones south and east of Lake Baikal in Russia and has experienced drought for several years. The decline and mortality of birch (Betula pendula) stands within the forest-steppe ecotone Trans-Baikal region was studied based on a temporal series of satellite data, ground measurements, and tree ring analysis. During the first decade of the 21st century birch stands decline and mortality were observed on about 5% of the total area of stands within our 1250 km(2) study area. Birch forest decline and mortality occurs mainly at the margins of stands, within the forest-steppe ecotone on slopes with direct insolation. During the first decade of the 21st century summer (June-August) precipitation was about 25% below normal. Soil water content measurements were lowest within dead stands and highest within healthy stands and intermediate within damaged stands. Drought impact on stands was amplified by an increase in summer air temperatures (+0.9 degrees C) in comparison with the previous decade. Tree ring data of "surviving" and "dead" tree groups showed a positive correlation with summer/annual precipitation and negative correlation with summer air temperatures. Temperature and precipitation extreme anomalies tend to occur in the region with a period of about 27 years. The observed anomaly was the most severe since the beginning of meteorological observations in the year 1900. Data for the other sites showed a positive climate impact on the growth and expansion of Siberian forests. That is, the same species (B. pendula) showed considerable increase (1.4 times both in height and stem volume) during 20th-21st centuries as temperature increased but precipitation remained at adequate levels.

AB Diverse vulnerabilities of Bangladesh's agricultural sector in 16 sub-regions are assessed using experiments designed to investigate climate impact factors in isolation and in combination. Climate information from a suite of global climate models (GCMs) is used to drive models assessing the agricultural impact of changes in temperature, precipitation, carbon dioxide concentrations, river floods, and sea level rise for the 2040-2069 period in comparison to a historical baseline. Using the multi-factor impacts analysis framework developed in Yu et al. (2010), this study provides new sub-regional vulnerability analyses and quantifies key uncertainties in climate and production. Rice (aman, bora, and aus seasons) and wheat production are simulated in each sub-region using the biophysical Crop Environment REsource Synthesis (CERES) models. These simulations are then combined with the MIKE BASIN hydrologic model for river floods in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) Basins, and the MIKE21 Two-Dimensional Estuary Model to determine coastal inundation under conditions of higher mean sea level. The impacts of each factor depend on GCM configurations, emissions pathways, sub-regions, and particular seasons and crops. Temperature increases generally reduce production across all scenarios. Precipitation changes can have either a positive or a negative impact, with a high degree of uncertainty across GCMs. Carbon dioxide impacts on crop production are positive and depend on the emissions pathway. Increasing river flood areas reduce production in affected sub-regions. Precipitation uncertainties from different GCMs and emissions scenarios are reduced when integrated across the large GBM Basins' hydrology. Agriculture in Southern Bangladesh is severely affected by sea level rise even when cyclonic surges are not fully considered, with impacts increasing under the higher emissions scenario.

AB On February 14, 2011 Stardust-NExT (SN) flew by Comet Tempel 1, the target of the Deep Impact (DI) mission in 2005, obtaining dust measurements and high-resolution images of areas surrounding the 2005 impact site, and extending image coverage to almost two thirds of the nucleus surface. The nucleus has an average radius of 2.83 +/- 0.1 km and a uniform geometric albedo of about 6% at visible wavelengths. Local elevation differences on the nucleus reach up to 830 m. At the time of encounter the spin rate was 213 degrees per day (period = 40.6 h) and the comet was producing some 130 kg of dust per second. Some 30% of the nucleus is covered by smooth flow-like deposits and related materials, restricted to gravitational lows. This distribution is consistent with the view that the smooth areas represent material erupted from the subsurface and date from a time after the nucleus achieved its current shape. It is possible that some of these eruptions occurred after 1609 when the comet's perihelion distance decreased from 3.5 AU to the current 1.5 AU. Much of the surface displays evidence of layering: some related to the smooth flows and some possibly dating back to the accretion of the nucleus. Pitted terrain covers approximately half the nucleus surface. The pits range up to 850 m in diameter. Due to their large number, they are unlikely to be impact scars: rather they probably result from volatile outbursts and sublimational erosion. The DI impact site shows a subdued depression some 50 m in diameter implying surface properties similar to those of dry, loose snow. It is possible that the 50-m depression is all that remains of an initially larger crater. In the region of overlapping DI and SN coverage most of the surface remained unchanged between 2005 and 2011 in albedo, photometric properties and morphology. Significant changes took place only along the edges of a prominent smooth flow estimated to be 10-15 m thick, the margins of which receded in places by up to 50 m. Coma and jet activity were lower in 2011 than in 2005. Most of the jets observed during the SN flyby can be traced back to an apparently eroding terraced scarp. The dust instruments detected bursts of impacts consistent with a process by which larger aggregates of material emitted from the nucleus subsequently fragment into smaller particles within the coma.

TI Stardust-NExT NAVCAM calibration and performance
SO ICARUS

DE Comet Tempel 1; Instrumentation; Data reduction techniques
ID JUPITER
AB NASA's Stardust-NExT mission used the Stardust spacecraft to deliver a scientific payload, including a panchromatic visible camera designated NAVCAM, to a close flyby of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 in February 2011. Proper interpretation of the NAVCAM images depends on accurate calibration of the camera performance. While the NAVCAM had been calibrated during the primary Stardust mission to Comet 81P/Wild 2 in 2004, that calibration was incomplete and somewhat lacking in fidelity. Substantial improvements in the NAVCAM calibration were achieved during Stardust-NExT in the areas of geometric correction, spatial resolution, and radiometric calibration (in particular, zero-exposure signal levels, shutter time offsets, absolute radiometric response, noise, and scattered light characterization). These improvements will allow upgrades to the calibration of images returned from the Stardust primary mission as well as high-quality calibration of the Stardust-NExT images. The upgraded calibration results have been incorporated into the Stardust-NExT image processing pipeline via new routines and updated constants and files in preparation for archiving calibrated images in the NASA Planetary Data System.

AB The nucleus of comet Tempel 1 has been investigated at close range during two spacecraft missions separated by one comet orbit of the Sun, 51/2 years. The combined imaging covers similar to 70% of the surface of this object which has a mean radius of 2.83 +/- 0.1 km. The surface can be divided into two terrain types: rough, pitted terrain and smoother regions of varying local topography. The rough surface has round depressions from resolution limits (similar to 10 m/pixel) up to similar to 1 km across, spanning forms from crisp steep-walled pits, to subtle albedo rings, to topographic rings, with all ranges of morphologic gradation. Three gravitationally low regions of the comet have smoother terrain, parts of which appear to be deposits from minimally modified flows, with other parts likely to be heavily eroded portions of multiple layer piles. Changes observed between the two missions are primarily due to backwasting of scarps bounding one of these probable flow deposits. This style of erosion is also suggested by remnant mesa forms in other areas of smoother terrain. The two distinct terrains suggest either an evolutionary change in processes, topographically-controlled processes, or a continuing interaction of erosion and deposition. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

AB The photometric properties of the nucleus of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 as modeled from the Stardust-NExT images agree with those reported by Li et al. (Li, J.-Y. et al. [2007a]. Icarus 187, 41-55; Li, J.-Y., A'Hearn, M.F., McFadden, L.A., Belton, M.J.S. [2007b]. Icarus 188, 195-211) from Deep Impact images. No significant changes are detectable by comparing the two image-sets taken one comet year apart. The overall photometric variations on the similar to 70% of the surface of Tempel 1 observed by Deep Impact and Stardust-NExT are small, with albedo variations of +/- 10% full-width-at-half-maximum and non-detectable variations in phase function and surface roughness. Some bright surface albedo features visible in the outbound images have an albedo about 25% higher than that of surrounding area. No bright albedo features similar to those ice patches reported by Sunshine et al. (Sunshine, J.M., et al. [2006]. Science 311, 1453-1455) are seen on the outbound side, which was not imaged by DI. The similar global photometric properties among cometary nuclei may indicate that these properties are dominated by cometary activity that results in constant resurfacing on comets. Tiny amounts of ice concentration on their surface can significantly change the local photometric properties. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB We consider the origin of similar to 380 quasi-circular depressions (pits) seen to be distributed in a broad band across the surface of 9P/Tempel 1 and show that possibly similar to 96% may be due to outburst activity. Of the rest, <4%, are probably due to a mix of cryo-volcanic collapse events and collisional impacts with asteroidal material. We estimate the mass ejected during the June 14, 2005, mini-outburst on 9P to be in the range (6-30) x 10(4) kg and find that the resulting pit should have a diameter in the range 10-30 m. Published locations of mini-outbursts are revised to account for changes in the nucleus shape, rotation rate, and rotation pole that have resulted from observations made during the Stardust-NExT mission. Both of these locations are found to fall in, or on the edge of, the band of pits that encircles the nucleus. We have identified features in high-resolution images near one of these locations as the possible places of origin of the mini-outbursts. These features show close packing of multiple pits in the appropriate diameter range.
We consider the distribution of pit diameters and show that the largest pits follow a power-law with exponent -2.24 +/- 0.09. Using the June 14, 2005, mini-outburst and the Deep Impact crater to provide a calibration, we establish empirical relationships between pit diameter, D, the total outburst energy, E, and the visual magnitude change, Delta m(abs), which is the visual amplitude of the outburst referenced to a standard initial brightness. We find Log(10)D similar to 0.107(+/- 0.004)Delta m(abs) + 1.3(+/- 0.4) and Log(10)E similar to 0.32(+/- 0.01)Delta m(abs) + 10.1(+/- 1.2) where the uncertainties represent the range of values for the coefficient rather than formal error. We apply these approximate relationships to the mega-outburst on 17P/Holmes and predict that it left a pit-like scar on the surface with a diameter in the range 160-1300 m, that the total energy released was in the range 7 x 10(12)-3 x 10(15) J, and that between 6 x 10(7) and 1.3 x 10(11) kg of material was ejected from the surface. While these predictions are crude they encompass, particularly near the upper end of the range, the results on kinetic energy release and mass loss found by Reach et al.

ID SPACE-TELESCOPE OBSERVATIONS; DEEP IMPACT; NUCLEUS
AB Observations from the second encounter of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 by the Stardust-NExT spacecraft provide an improved shape model and rotational pole for the nucleus (Thomas, P.C. et al. [2012]. Icarus 222, 453-466) that allows us to greatly improve our knowledge of its rotational evolution beyond that outlined earlier in Belton et al. (Belton, M.J.S. et al. [2011]. Icarus 213, 345-368). Model light curves are shown to fit observations at both perihelia with a single pole direction indicating that polar precession during a single perihelion passage is small. We show that the rotational phasing associated with observations taken far from perihelion in the previous work was incorrectly assessed by approximately half a cycle leading us to a significant reassessment of the evolution of the non-gravitational torques acting on the nucleus. We present an updated spin rate profile (torque model) for the 2005 perihelion passage and show that retardation of the spin rate well before perihelion is no longer a required feature. With the exception of the spin rate before the 2000 perihelion passage, the evolution of rotational rates through the three most recent perihelion passages is largely unaffected as is the prediction of the rotational phase of the comet's nucleus at the Stardust-NExT near-perihelion encounter. We find a spin rate of 209.4 +/- 0.01 degrees/d likely applies in the quiescent period before the 2000 perihelion, a 0.2% change, and that the rotational period shortened by 12.3 +/- 0.2 min during the 2000 perihelion passage.
We present an analysis of Stardust-NExT time-series photometry that yields a spin rate near 213.3 +/- 0.8 degrees/d at the time of encounter. An application of the 2005 torque model suggests that, while roughly similar, the torques were probably weaker during the 2011 perihelion passage. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Data from the Extrasolar Planet Observation and Deep Impact Extended Investigation (EPOXI) mission show Comet 103P/Hartley 2 is a bi-lobed, elongated, nearly axially symmetric comet 2.33 km in length. Surface features are primarily small mounds <40 m across, irregularly-shaped smooth areas on the two lobes, and a smooth but variegated region forming a "waist" between the two lobes. Assuming parts of the comet body approach the shape of an equipotential surface, the mean density of Hartley 2 is modeled to be 200-400 kg m(-3). Such a mean density suggests mass loss per orbit of >1%. The shape may be the evolutionary product of insolation, sublimation, and temporary deposition of materials controlled by the object's complex rotation. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB We have studied the photometric properties of the nucleus of a hyperactive comet, 103P/Hartley 2, at visible wavelengths using the DIXI flyby images with both disk-integrated and disk-resolved analyses. The disk-integrated phase function of the nucleus has a linear slope of 0.046 +/- 0.002 mag/deg and an absolute magnitude of 18.4 +/- 0.1 at V-band. The nucleus displays an overall linear, featureless spectrum between 400 nm and 850 nm. The linear spectral slope is 7.6 +/- 3.6% per 100 nm, corresponding to broadband solar-illuminated color indices B-V of 0.75 +/- 0.05 and V-R of 0.43 +/- 0.04. Disk-resolved photometric analysis with a Hapke model returns a best-fit single-scattering albedo of 0.036 +/- 0.006, an asymmetry factor of the Henyey-Greenstein single-particle phase function of -0.46 +/- 0.06, and a photometric roughness of 15 +/- 10 degrees. The model yields a geometric albedo of 0.045 +/- 0.009 and a Bond albedo of 0.012 +/- 0.002. The overall photometric variations of the nucleus are small, with an equivalent albedo variation of 15% FWHM, and a color variation of 12% FWHM. Some areas near the terminator visible in the inbound images show an albedo of more than twice the global average value, and a much bluer color than the average nucleus. The overall photometric properties and variations of the nucleus of Hartley 2 are similar to those of the nuclei of Comets Wild 2 and Tempel 1 as studied from previous spacecraft flyby missions at similar resolutions.

ID COMET 9P/TEMPEL-1; RESTORATION
AB A flaw in the pre-launch calibration system resulted in an inability to accurately focus the Deep Impact's High Resolution Instrument (HRI). This defocus resulted in a significant loss of resolution. The nature of the blurring function allows us to use image restoration techniques to retrieve much of the lost resolution. These techniques can produce artifacts in the image such as noise amplification and unwanted oscillations (at the level of 10% of the peak value in the restored point source) in the restored signal. Much useful information, including photometry of point sources, can be extracted from the restored HRI images of Comet Hartley 2, and other images from the Deep Impact spacecraft. In this paper, we present techniques for evaluating the restored images both qualitatively and quantitatively. Monte Carlo techniques are suggested to assess the accuracy of point source photometry.

AB The Deep Impact spacecraft flew by Comet 103P/Hartley 2 on November 4th, 2010 (EPOXI mission) and Comet 9P/Tempel 1 on July 4th, 2005 (Deep Impact mission). During the two flybys, spatially resolved infrared (1.05-4.8 mu m) spectra of the surface of the nucleus were acquired by the HRI-IR instrument. The analysis of these two data sets, obtained by the same instrument, offers a unique opportunity to understand, compare and contrast the surface thermal properties of these two comets. For this paper, we use spectral cubes with a spatial resolution of 30 m/pixel to 40 m/pixel for Hartley 2 and 160 m/pixel for Tempel 1. We focus our analysis on the color, temperature, thermal inertia and roughness of the nucleus.
The two comets have the same color, moderately red, with an average slope of 3.0 +/- 0.9% per k angstrom to 3.5 +/- 1.1% per k angstrom. There are very small variations of the color across the surface, except for regions with water ice that are neutral to blue, and two dark spots with redder (4.5 +/- 1.4% per k angstrom) materials on Hartley 2. The nucleus thermal emission at all resolved spatial scales differs from that of a gray body with an infrared emissivity of 0.9-1.0, the discrepancy being more important for larger incidence angles. Moreover, the color temperature of Comets Hartley 2 and Tempel 1 is relatively homogeneous across the surface and does not vary strongly with incidence angle. These two effects mainly result from surface roughness and associated projected shadows. From the temperature rise on the morning terminator, we derive a thermal inertia lower than 250 W/K/m(2)/s(1/2) for Hartley 2 and lower than 45 W/K/m(2)/s(1/2) for Tempel 1 (3 sigma upper limits). For Hartley 2 and Tempel 1, the temperature of the regions with exposed water ice is more than 100 K above the sublimation temperature of water ice (similar to 200 K). This observation indicates that the thermal emission is dominated by dust, and that water ice is not intimately mixed with dust at the scale of observation, with water ice patches at the meter or sub-meter scale.

TI The complex spin state of 103P/Hartley 2: Kinematics and orientation in
space

AB We derive the spin state of the nucleus of Comet 103P/Hartley 2, its orientation in space, and its short-term temporal evolution from a mixture of observations taken from the DIXI (Deep Impact Extended Investigation) spacecraft and radar observations. The nucleus is found to spin in an excited long-axis mode (LAM) with its rotational angular momentum per unit mass, M, and rotational energy per unit mass, E, slowly decreasing while the degree of excitation in the spin increases through perihelion passage. M is directed toward (RA, Dec; J2000) = 8 +/- 4 degrees, 54 +/- 1 degrees (obliquity = 48 +/- 1 degrees). This direction is likely changing, but the change is probably <6 degrees on the sky over the similar to 81.6 days of the DIXI encounter. The magnitudes of M and E at closest approach (JD 2455505.0831866 2011-11-04 13:59:47.310) are 30.0 +/- 0.2 m(2)/s and (1.56 +/- 0.02) x 10(-3) m(2)/s(2) respectively. The period of rotation about the instantaneous spin vector, which points in the direction (RA, Dec; J2000) = 300 +/- 3.2 degrees, 67 +/- 1.3 degrees at the time of closest approach, was 14.1 +/- 0.3 h. The instantaneous spin vector circulates around M, inclined at an average angle of 33.2 +/- 1.3 degrees, with an average period of 18.40 +/- 0.13 h at the time of closest approach. The period of roll around the principal axis of minimum inertia ("long" axis) at that time is 26.72 +/- 0.06 h. The long axis is inclined to M by similar to 81.2 +/- 0.6 degrees on average, slowly decreasing through encounter. We infer that there is a periodic nodding motion of the long axis with half the roll period, i.e., 13.36 +/- 0.03 h, with amplitude of similar to 1 degrees again decreasing through encounter. The periodic variability in the circulation and roll rates during a cycle was at the 2% and 10-14% level respectively.
During the encounter there was a secular lengthening of the circulation period of the long axis by 1.3 +/- 0.2 min/d, in agreement with ground-based estimates, while the period of roll around the long axis changed by similar to-4.4 min/d at perihelion. M decreased at a rate of -0.038 (m(2)/s) per day in a roughly linear fashion. Assuming a bulk density between 230-300 kg/m(3) and a total volume for the nucleus of 8.09 x 10(8) m(3), the net torque acting on the nucleus was in the range 0.8-1.1 x 10(5) kg m(2)/s(2). In order to bring the spacecraft photometric and imaging data into alignment on the direction of M, the directions of the intermediate and short principal axes of inertia had to be adjusted by 33 degrees (on the sky) from the values indicated by the shape model with an assumed homogeneous interior. The adjusted direction of the intermediate axis is RA, Dec = 302 degrees, -16.5 degrees. The morning and evening terminators in the images are identified, and the variation of the insolation at three regions on the nucleus associated with active areas calculated. The plume of water vapor observed in the inner coma is found to be directed close to the direction of local gravity over the sub-solar region for a range of reasonable bulk densities. The plume does not follow the projected normal to the surface at the sub-solar point. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

ID NUCLEI
AB The Deep Impact Spacecraft flew past Comet 103P/Hartley 2 on November 4th, 2010. Images revealed the comet to be enveloped in a field of debris composed of fine grained dust, ice, and hundreds of discrete millimeter to decimeter sized particles. In this work, a selection of the brightest particles are identified and photogrammetrically located in 3D space to examine their positions and dynamics. 90% of the particles detected were within 10 km of the nucleus and traveling a few meters per second or slower. The particles exhibit a high degree of temporal variability in brightness, suggesting rotating, heterogeneous and faceted geometries. This style of near-nucleus environment has not been observed in any other comet to date and it may help explain the hyperactive nature of water production on Hartley 2 and similar comets.

AB The coma of Comet 103P/Hartley 2 has a significant population of large particles observed as point sources in images taken by the Deep Impact spacecraft. We measure their spatial and flux distributions, and attempt to constrain their composition. The flux distribution of these particles implies a very steep size distribution with power-law slopes ranging from -6.6 to -4.7. The radii of the particles extend up to 20 cm, and perhaps up to 2 m, but their exact sizes depend on their unknown light scattering properties. We consider two cases: bright icy material, and dark dusty material. The icy case better describes the particles if water sublimation from the particles causes a significant rocket force, which we propose as the best method to account for the observed spatial distribution. Solar radiation is a plausible alternative, but only if the particles are very low density aggregates. If we treat the particles as mini-nuclei, we estimate they account for <16-80% of the comet's total water production rate (within 20.6 km). Dark dusty particles, however, are not favored based on mass arguments. The water production rate from bright icy particles is constrained with an upper limit of 0.1-0.5% of the total water production rate of the comet. If indeed icy with a high albedo, these particles do not appear to account for the comet's large water production rate. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Comet 85P/Boethin was selected as the original comet target for the Deep Impact extended mission, EPOXI. Because this comet had been only observed at two apparitions in 1975 and 1986 and consequently had a large ephemeris error, an early intense recovery effort similar to that of 1P/Halley was undertaken beginning in 2005 using the ESO Very Large Telescopes (VLTs) in a distant comet program. These were challenging observations because of the low galactic latitude, and an error ellipse (the line of variations) that was larger than the CCD FOV, and the comet was not seen. Dedicated recovery observing time was awarded on the Subaru telescope in April and May 2006, and June 2007, in addition to time on the VLT and Canada France Hawaii telescopes during July August 2007 with wide field mosaics and mosaicing techniques. The limiting V magnitudes from these observing runs ranged between 25.7 and 27.3 and again the comet was not seen in the individual nights. A new image processing technique was developed to stack images over extended runs and runs after distorting them to account for dilations and rotations in the line of variations using modifications of the world coordinate system. A candidate at V 27.3 was found in the CFHT data along the LOV, 2.5' west of the nominal ephemeris position. The EPOXI mission was unwilling to re-target the spacecraft without a confirmation. Additional time was secured using the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Gemini South 8-m telescope, the Clay and Baade (Magellan 6.5 m), CTIO 4 m, and SOAR 4 m telescopes during 2007 September and October A composite image made by stacking the new data showed no plausible candidate nucleus to a limiting magnitude of V = 28.5, corresponding to a nucleus radius between 0.1 and 0.2 km (assuming an albedo of 0.04). The comet was declared lost, presumably having disintegrated. Searches in the WISE data set revealed no debris trail, but no constraints on the possible time of disruption can be made. NASA approved the trajectory correction maneuver to go to Comet 103P/Hartley 2 on 2007 November 1. Many observers searched for the comet as it came to its December 2008 perihelion, but no trace of the nucleus was found.

AB This paper presents long-slit spectra of H2O emission from the inner coma of Comet 103P/Hartley 2, acquired with NIRSPEC/Keck 2 during the comet's close approach to Earth in 2010. On UT 19.6 October 2010 the slit was oriented nearly orthogonal to the projected (in the plane of the sky) Sun-comet line, and the H2O rotational temperature and column density showed similar spatial distributions as a function of projected distance from the nucleus. On UT 22.5 October, the slit was oriented along the Sun-comet line, and the rotational temperatures revealed pronounced asymmetry while the column densities were nearly symmetric about the nucleus. We suggest this dichotomy reflects two qualitatively different mechanisms of volatile release, which introduce distinct rotational distributions in the sublimated material. Future modeling can test this hypothesis.
We also report new retrievals of water nuclear spin species (ortho, para) in this comet, and we present the ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) for various projected nucleocentric distances. Our most precise individual measurement is OPR = 2.59 +/- 0.13, corresponding to a nuclear spin temperature (T-spin) of 31 +/- 3 K. A weighted mean of five independent measurements provides OPR = 2.79 +/- 0.13 (T-spin = 37(-4)(+8) K). Hartley 2 is the first comet for which the OPR has been measured in multiple apparitions. Our values (in 2010) are in good agreement with those obtained two apparitions earlier by the Infrared Space Observatory. Since the comet lost a substantial amount of material between 1998 and 2010, we see no evidence for variation of the OPR with depth in the nucleus. Further discussion of the advantages, assumptions, and biases introduced by various approaches when quantifying nuclear spin species (observing techniques, models and model parameters, sources of uncertainty) would likely aid in interpreting the OPRs measured in cometary volatiles.

DE galaxy clustering; cluster counts; non-gaussianity

AB Forthcoming radio continuum surveys will cover large volumes of the observable Universe and will reach to high redshifts, making them potentially powerful probes of dark energy, modi fied gravity and non-Gaussianity. We consider the continuum surveys with LO-FAR, WSRT and ASKAP, and examples of continuum surveys with the SKA. We extend recent work on these surveys by including redshift space distortions and lensing convergence in the radio source auto-correlation. In addition we compute the general relativistic (GR) corrections to the angular power spectrum. These GR corrections to the standard Newtonian analysis of the power spectrum become significant on scales near and beyond the Hubble scale at each redshift. We find that the GR corrections are at most percent-level in LOFAR, WODAN and EMU surveys, but they can produce O(10%) changes for high enough sensitivity SKA continuum surveys. The signal is however dominated by cosmic variance, and multiple-tracer techniques will be needed to overcome this problem. The GR corrections are suppressed in continuum surveys because of the integration over redshift - we expect that GR corrections will be enhanced for future SKA HI surveys in which the source redshifts will be known. We also provide predictions for the angular power spectra in the case where the primordial perturbations have local non-Gaussianity. We find that non-Gaussianity dominates over GR corrections, and rises above cosmic variance when f(NL) greater than or similar to 5 for SKA continuum surveys.

AB The 2013 Planetary Science Decadal Survey identified a detailed investigation of the Trojan asteroids occupying Jupiter's L4 and L5 Lagrange points as a priority for future NASA missions. Observing these asteroids and measuring their physical characteristics and composition would aid in identification of their source and provide answers about their likely impact history and evolution, thus yielding information about the makeup and dynamics of the early Solar System. We present a conceptual design for a mission to the Jovian Trojan asteroids: the Trojan ASteroid Tour, Exploration, and Rendezvous (TASTER) mission, that is consistent with the NASA New Frontiers candidate mission recommended by the Decadal Survey and the final result of the 2011 NASA-JPL Planetary Science Summer School. Our proposed mission includes visits to two Trojans in the L4 population: a 500 km altitude fly-by of 1999 XS143, followed by a rendezvous with and detailed observations of 911 Agamemnon at orbital altitudes of 1000-100 km over a 12 month nominal science data capture period. Our proposed instrument payload - wide- and narrow-angle cameras, a visual and infrared mapping spectrometer, and a neutron/gamma ray spectrometer - would provide unprecedented high-resolution, regional-to-global datasets for the target bodies, yielding fundamental information about the early history and evolution of the Solar System. Although our mission design was completed as part of an academic exercise, this study serves as a useful starting point for future Trojan mission design studies. In particular, we identify and discuss key issues that can make large differences in the complex trade-offs required when designing a mission to the Trojan asteroids. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Networks of monolithic membrane microvalves integrated into microdevices enable complete automation of liquid-based chemical analyses necessary for fully automated applications, such as spaceflight. Although individual pumping devices and operational routines have been characterized, to date there has been no rigorous evaluation of microvalve layout and its effect on fluidic transfer. Here, we evaluate two microdevices at opposite extremes of fluidic resistance and evaluate three pumping routines on each device. Delay times between operational steps are optimized for fastest fluidic transfer. A 3-valve double-chamber routine enables fastest pumping rates on both devices. On low fluidic resistance devices, a 2-valve (bivalve) pumping routine enables faster fluidic transfer than a 3-valve single-chamber pumping routine. Additionally, low fluidic resistance devices enable significantly faster fluidic transfer (4-6 fold) than their higher resistance counterparts. Back-contamination is qualitatively characterized for the optimized routines; higher fluidic resistance between the pumping architecture and the fluidic output reservoir is the most essential feature for preventing back-contamination. We use these results to suggest design rules to guide future pumping architectures to enable the rapid, contamination-free fluidic transfer that will be necessary in spaceflight applications.

AB The development of a tin oxide nanoparticle based sensor for detecting carbon monoxide at low temperature, 60 degrees C is presented. A combination of three approaches namely, (1) addition of a catalytic metal - 1.5% palladium, (2) optimization of organic binder content, and (3) a proper design of electrodes, leads to high sensitivity, excellent repeatability, and long-term stability in sensor response. The sensors have been tested in dry (<1% RH) and humid (>70% RH) conditions, and no humidity effect on the sensor performance was noticed. The sensors using 15% hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) mixed with Pd/SnO2 show sensitivity to CO gas in the parts per million (ppm) level of concentration, 5-10% repeatability in 6-18 ppm CO exposures, and active response for more than 40 days. In addition, the fatigued sensors were recoverable with a brief heating process. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB In this study, we investigated the impact of the Atlantic decadal-scale sea surface temperature (SST) variation on the tropical Pacific climate using a Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM). During the recent decade from 2000 to 2010 when the Atlantic SST has sharply increased, observations have shown that the strong easterly and increased precipitation anomalies appeared over the western-central Pacific. It is different from the conventional Gilltype response in which the easterly due to heating in the Atlantic is expected to be extended to the Indian Ocean. We have found that the warm pool over the western Pacific plays an important role in enhancing the atmospheric response to the Atlantic SST forcing in the Pacific basin. Simplified Aqua planet GCM experiments showed that the central location of the anomalous easterly over the Pacific produced by the Atlantic SST forcing highly depends on the location of the idealized warm pool. The reason for this is because the moisture feedback is strongest over the warm pool region, which leads to additional local anomalous convergence, and therefore the easterly produced by the Atlantic SST forcing is enhanced only over the east of the warm pool region.

AB THOR, the Tool for High-resolution Observation Review, is a data viewer for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the upcoming Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. THOR began as a desktop application, but now it can be accessed with a web browser, making THOR one of the first online tools for visualizing TRMM satellite data (http://pps.gsfc.nasa.gov/thor). In this effort, the reuse of the existing visualization code was maximized and the complexity of new code was minimized by avoiding unnecessary functionality, frameworks, or libraries. The simplicity of this approach makes it potentially attractive to researchers wishing to adapt their visualization applications for online deployment. To enable THOR to run within a web browser, three new pieces of code are written. First, the graphical user interface (GUI) of the desktop application is translated into HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Second, a simple communication mechanism is developed over MU. Third, a virtual GUI is created on the server that interfaces with the image-generating routines of the existing desktop application so that these routines do not need to be modified for online use. While the basic functionality of THOR is now available online, prototyping is ongoing for enhanced 3D imaging and other aspects of both THOR Desktop and THOR Online. Because TRMM data products are complex and periodically reprocessed with improved algorithms, having a tool such as THOR is important to analysts at the Precipitation Processing System where the algorithms are tested and the products generated, stored, and distributed. Researchers also have found THOR useful for taking a first look at individual files before writing their own software to perform specialized calculations and analyses. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Land atmosphere (L-A) interactions play a critical role in determining the diurnal evolution of land surface and planetary boundary layer (PBL) temperature and moisture states and fluxes. In turn, these interactions regulate the strength of the connection between surface moisture and precipitation in a coupled system. To address model deficiencies, recent studies have focused on development of diagnostics to quantify the strength and accuracy of the land-PBL coupling at the process level. In this paper, a diagnosis of the nature and impacts of local land-atmosphere coupling (LoCo) during dry and wet extreme conditions is presented using a combination of models and observations during the summers of 2006 and 2007 in the -U.S. southern Great Plains. A range of diagnostics exploring the links and feedbacks between soil moisture and precipitation is applied to the dry/wet regimes exhibited in this region, and in the process, a thorough evaluation of nine different land-PBL scheme couplings is conducted under the umbrella of a high-resolution regional modeling test bed. Results show that the sign and magnitude of errors in land surface energy balance components are sensitive to the choice of land surface model, regime type, and running mode. In addition, LoCo diagnostics show that the sensitivity of L-A coupling is stronger toward the land during dry conditions, while the PBL scheme coupling becomes more important during the wet regime. Results also demonstrate how LoCo diagnostics can be applied to any modeling system (e.g., reanalysis products) in the context of their integrated impacts on the process chain connecting the land surface to the PBL and in support of hydrological anomalies.

AB The downwelling shortwave radiation on the earth's land surface is affected by the terrain characteristics of slope and aspect. These adjustments, in turn, impact the evolution of snow over such terrain. This article presents a multiscale evaluation of the impact of terrain-based adjustments to incident shortwave radiation on snow simulations over two midlatitude regions using two versions of the Noah land surface model (LSM). The evaluation is performed by comparing the snow cover simulations against the 500-m Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover product. The model simulations are evaluated using categorical measures, such as the probability of detection of "yes" events (PODy), which measure the fraction of snow cover presence that was correctly simulated, and false alarm ratio (FAR), which measures the fraction of no-snow events that was incorrectly simulated. The results indicate that the terrain-based correction of radiation leads to systematic improvements in the snow cover estimates in both domains and in both LSM versions (with roughly 12% overall improvement in PODy and 5% improvement in FAR), with larger improvements observed during snow accumulation and melt periods. Increased contribution to PODy and FAR improvements is observed over the north- and south-facing slopes, when the overall improvements are stratified to the four cardinal aspect categories. A two-dimensional discrete Haar wavelet analysis for the two study areas indicates that the PODy improvements in snow cover estimation drop to below 10% at scales coarser than 16 km, whereas the FAR improvements are below 10% at scales coarser than 4 km.

AB Irrigation is an important human activity that may impact local and regional climate, but current climate model simulations and data assimilation systems generally do not explicitly include it. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Interim Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) shows more irrigation signal in surface evapotranspiration (ET) than the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) because ERA-Interim adjusts soil moisture according to the observed surface temperature and humidity while MERRA has no explicit consideration of irrigation at the surface. But, when compared with the results from a hydrological model with detailed considerations of agriculture, the ET from both reanalyses show large deficiencies in capturing the impact of irrigation. Here, a back-trajectory method is used to estimate the contribution of irrigation to precipitation over local and surrounding regions, using MERRA with observation-based corrections and added irrigation-caused ET increase from the hydrological model. Results show substantial contributions of irrigation to precipitation over heavily irrigated regions in Asia, but the precipitation increase is much less than the ET increase over most areas, indicating that irrigation could lead to water deficits over these regions. For the same increase in ET, precipitation increases are larger over wetter areas where convection is more easily triggered, but the percentage increase in precipitation is similar for different areas. There are substantial regional differences in the patterns of irrigation impact, but, for all the studied regions, the highest percentage contribution to precipitation is over local land.

AB Positive soil moisture precipitation feedbacks can intensify heat and prolong drought under conditions of precipitation deficit. Adequate representation of these processes in regional climate models is, therefore, important for extended weather forecasts, seasonal drought analysis, and downscaled climate change projections. This paper presents the first application of the NASA Unified Weather Research and Forecasting Model (NU-WRF) to simulation of seasonal drought. Simulations of the 2006 southern Great Plains drought performed with and without soil moisture memory indicate that local soil moisture feedbacks had the potential to concentrate precipitation in wet areas relative to dry areas in summer drought months. Introduction of a simple dynamic surface albedo scheme that models albedo as a function of soil moisture intensified the simulated feedback pattern at local scale dry, brighter areas received even less precipitation while wet, whereas darker areas received more but did not significantly change the total amount of precipitation simulated across the drought-affected region. This soil-moisture-mediated albedo land atmosphere coupling pathway is structurally excluded from standard versions of WRF.

DT Article
ID PRECIPITATION; IMPACT
AB The efficiency of assimilating near-surface soil moisture retrievals from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) observations in a Land Data Assimilation System (LDAS) is assessed using satellite rainfall forcing and two different satellite rainfall error models: a complex, multidimensional satellite rainfall error model (SREM2D) and the simpler (control) model (CTRL) used in the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System Model, version 5 LDAS. For the study domain of Oklahoma, LDAS soil moisture estimates improve over the satellite retrievals and the open-loop (no assimilation) land surface model estimates, exhibiting higher daily anomaly correlation coefficients (e.g., 0.36 in the open loop, 0.38 in the AMSR-E, and 0.50 in LDAS for surface soil moisture). The LDAS soil moisture estimates also match the performance of a benchmark model simulation forced with high-quality radar precipitation. Compared to using the CTRL rainfall error model in LDAS, using the more complex SREM2D exhibits only slight improvements in soil moisture estimates.

AB The weathering products present in igneous terrestrial Antarctic samples were analyzed, and compared with those found in the four Miller Range nakhlite Martian meteorites. The aim of these comparisons was to determine which of the alteration phases in the Miller Range nakhlites are produced by terrestrial weathering, and what effect rock composition has on these phases. Antarctic terrestrial samples MIL 05031 and EET 96400, along with the Miller Range nakhlites MIL 03346 and 090032, were found to contain secondary alteration assemblages at their externally exposed surfaces. Despite the difference in primary mineralogy, the assemblages of these rocks consist mostly of sulfates (jarosite in MIL 05031, jarosite and gypsum in EET 96400) and iddingsite-like Fe-clay. As neither of the terrestrial samples contains sulfur-bearing primary minerals, and these minerals are rare in the Miller Range nakhlites, it appears that SO42, possibly along with some of the Na+, K+, and Ca+ in these phases, was sourced from wind-blown sea spray and biogenic emissions from the southern ocean. Cl enrichment in the terrestrially derived iddingsite of MIL 05031 and MIL 03346, and the presence of halite at the exterior edge of MIL 090032, can also be explained by this process. However, jarosite within and around the olivine-bound melt inclusions of MIL 090136 is present in the interior of the meteorite and, therefore, is probably the product of preterrestrial weathering on Mars.

AB We propose that the Taurid meteor shower may contain bodies able to survive and be recovered as meteorites. We review the expected properties of meteorite-producing fireballs, and suggest that end heights below 35km and terminal speeds below 10kms1 are necessary conditions for fireballs expected to produce meteorites. Applying the meteoroid strength index (PE criteria) of Ceplecha and McCrosky (1976) to a suite of 33 photographically recorded Taurid fireballs, we find a large spread in the apparent meteoroid strengths within the stream, including some very strong meteoroids. We also examine in detail the flight behavior of a Taurid fireball (SOMN 101031) and show that it has the potential to be a (small) meteorite-producing event. Similarly, photographic observations of a bright, potential Taurid fireball recorded in November of 1995 in Spain show that it also had meteorite-producing characteristics, despite a very high entry velocity (33kms1). Finally, we note that the recent Maribo meteorite fall may have had a very high entry velocity (28kms1), further suggesting that survival of meteorites at Taurid-like velocities is possible. Application of a numerical entry model also shows plausible survival of meteorites at Taurid-like velocities, provided the initial meteoroids are fairly strong and large, both of which are characteristics found in the Taurid stream.

AB In this paper, we estimate the trends and variability in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)-derived terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP) over India for the period 1982-2006. We find an increasing trend of 3.9% per decade (r = 0.78, R-2 = 0.61) during the analysis period. A multivariate linear regression of NPP with temperature, precipitation, atmospheric CO2 concentration, soil water and surface solar radiation (r = 0.80, R-2 = 0.65) indicates that the increasing trend is partly driven by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration and the consequent CO2 fertilization of the ecosystems. However, human interventions may have also played a key role in the NPP increase: non-forest NPP growth is largely driven by increases in irrigated area and fertilizer use, while forest NPP is influenced by plantation and forest conservation programs. A similar multivariate regression of interannual NPP anomalies with temperature, precipitation, soil water, solar radiation and CO2 anomalies suggests that the interannual variability in NPP is primarily driven by precipitation and temperature variability. Mean seasonal NPP is largest during post-monsoon and lowest during the pre-monsoon period, thereby indicating the importance of soil moisture for vegetation productivity.

AB Long-term global data sets of vegetation Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation absorbed by vegetation (FPAR) are critical to monitoring global vegetation dynamics and for modeling exchanges of energy, mass and momentum between the land surface and planetary boundary layer. LAI and FPAR are also state variables in hydrological, ecological, biogeochemical and crop-yield models. The generation, evaluation and an example case study documenting the utility of 30-year long data sets of LAI and FPAR are described in this article. A neural network algorithm was first developed between the new improved third generation Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI3g) and best-quality Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LAI and FPAR products for the overlapping period 2000-2009. The trained neural network algorithm was then used to generate corresponding LAI3g and FPAR3g data sets with the following attributes: 15-day temporal frequency, 1/12 degree spatial resolution and temporal span of July 1981 to December 2011. The quality of these data sets for scientific research in other disciplines was assessed through (a) comparisons with field measurements scaled to the spatial resolution of the data products, (b) comparisons with broadly-used existing alternate satellite data-based products, (c) comparisons to plant growth limiting climatic variables in the northern latitudes and tropical regions, and (d) correlations of dominant modes of interannual variability with large-scale circulation anomalies such as the El Nino-Southern Oscillation and Arctic Oscillation. These assessment efforts yielded results that attested to the suitability of these data sets for research use in other disciplines. The utility of these data sets is documented by comparing the seasonal profiles of LAI3g with profiles from 18 state-of-the-art Earth System Models: the models consistently overestimated the satellite-based estimates of leaf area and simulated delayed peak seasonal values in the northern latitudes, a result that is consistent with previous evaluations of similar models with ground-based data. The LAI3g and FPAR3g data sets can be obtained freely from the NASA Earth Exchange (NEX) website.

AB Permeation of aldopentoses and nucleosides through fatty acid and phospholipid membranes was investigated by way of molecular dynamics simulations. Calculated permeability coefficients of membranes to aldopentoses, which exist predominantly in the pyranose form, are in a very good agreement with experimental results. The unexpected preferential permeation of ribose, compared to its diastereomers, found by Sacerdote and Szostak, is explained in terms of inter- and intramolecular interactions involving hydroxyl groups. In aqueous solution, these groups favor the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds with neighboring water molecules. Inside the membrane, however, they form intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which in ribose are arranged in a chain. In its diastereomers this chain is broken, which yields higher free energy barrier to transfer through membranes. Faster permeation of ribose would lead to its preferential accumulation inside cells if sugars were converted sufficiently quickly to nonpermeable derivatives. An estimate for the rate of such reaction was derived. Preferential accumulation of ribose would increase the probability of correct monomers' incorporation during synthesis of nucleic acids inside protocells. The same mechanism does not apply to nucleosides or their activated derivatives because sugars are locked in the furanose form, which contains fewer exocyclic hydroxyl groups than does pyranose. The results of this study underscore concerted early evolution of membranes and the biochemical processes that they encapsulated.

AB Universal and species-specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction-based methods were employed to compare the effectiveness of four distinct materials used to collect biological samples from metal surfaces. Known cell densities of a model microbial community (MMC) were deposited onto metal surfaces and subsequently collected with cotton and nylon-flocked swabs for small surface areas and biological sampling kits (BiSKits) and polyester wipes for large surface areas. Ribosomal RNA gene-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses revealed that cotton swabs were superior to nylon-flocked swabs for recovering nucleic acids (i.e., DNA) from small surface areas. Similarly, BiSKits outperformed polyester wipes for sampling large surface areas. Species-specific qPCR results show a differential recovery of rRNA genes of the various MMC constituents, seemingly dependent on the type of sampling device employed. Both cotton swabs and BiSKits recovered the rDNA of all nine of the MMC constituent microbes assayed, whereas nylon-flocked swabs and polyester wipes recovered the rDNA of only six and four of these MMC strains, respectively. The findings of this study demonstrate the importance and proficiency of molecular techniques in gauging the effectiveness and efficiency of various modes of biological sample collection from metal surfaces.

AB A comparison is presented of Sunyaev-Zeldovich measurements for 11 galaxy clusters as obtained by Planck and by the ground-based interferometer, the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager. Assuming a universal spherically-symmetric Generalised Navarro, Frenk and White (GNFW) model for the cluster gas pressure profile, we jointly constrain the integrated Compton-Y parameter (Y-500) and the scale radius (theta(500)) of each cluster. Our resulting constraints in the Y-500 - theta(500) 2D parameter space derived from the two instruments overlap significantly for eight of the clusters, although, overall, there is a tendency for AMI to find the Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal to be smaller in angular size and fainter than Planck. Significant discrepancies exist for the three remaining clusters in the sample, namely A1413, A1914, and the newly-discovered Planck cluster PLCKESZ G139.59+24.18. The robustness of the analysis of both the Planck and AMI data is demonstrated through the use of detailed simulations, which also discount confusion from residual point (radio) sources and from diffuse astrophysical foregrounds as possible explanations for the discrepancies found. For a subset of our cluster sample, we have investigated the dependence of our results on the assumed pressure profile by repeating the analysis adopting the best-fitting GNFW profile shape which best matches X-ray observations. Adopting the best-fitting profile shape from the X-ray data does not, in general, resolve the discrepancies found in this subset of five clusters. Though based on a small sample, our results suggest that the adopted GNFW model may not be sufficiently flexible to describe clusters universally.

AB We make use of the Planck all-sky survey to derive number counts and spectral indices of extragalactic sources - infrared and radio sources - from the Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC) at 100 to 857 GHz (3mm to 350 mu m). Three zones (deep, medium and shallow) of approximately homogeneous coverage are used to permit a clean and controlled correction for incompleteness, which was explicitly not done for the ERCSC, as it was aimed at providing lists of sources to be followed up. Our sample, prior to the 80% completeness cut, contains between 217 sources at 100 GHz and 1058 sources at 857 GHz over about 12 800 to 16 550 deg(2) (31 to 40% of the sky). After the 80% completeness cut, between 122 and 452 and sources remain, with flux densities above 0.3 and 1.9 Jy at 100 and 857 GHz. The sample so defined can be used for statistical analysis. Using the multi-frequency coverage of the Planck High Frequency Instrument, all the sources have been classified as either dust-dominated (infrared galaxies) or synchrotron-dominated (radio galaxies) on the basis of their spectral energy distributions (SED). Our sample is thus complete, flux-limited and color-selected to differentiate between the two populations. We find an approximately equal number of synchrotron and dusty sources between 217 and 353 GHz; at 353 GHz or higher (or 217 GHz and lower) frequencies, the number is dominated by dusty (synchrotron) sources, as expected. For most of the sources, the spectral indices are also derived. We provide for the first time counts of bright sources from 353 to 857 GHz and the contributions from dusty and synchrotron sources at all HFI frequencies in the key spectral range where these spectra are crossing. The observed counts are in the Euclidean regime. The number counts are compared to previously published data (from earlier Planck results, Herschel, BLAST, SCUBA, LABOCA, SPT, and ACT) and models taking into account both radio or infrared galaxies, and covering a large range of flux densities. We derive the multi-frequency Euclidean level - the plateau in the normalised differential counts at high flux-density - and compare it to WMAP, Spitzer and IRAS results. The submillimetre number counts are not well reproduced by current evolution models of dusty galaxies, whereas the millimetre part appears reasonably well fitted by the most recent model for synchrotron-dominated sources. Finally we provide estimates of the local luminosity density of dusty galaxies, providing the first such measurements at 545 and 857 GHz.

AB Context. About half of the baryons of the Universe are expected to be in the form of filaments of hot and low-density intergalactic medium. Most of these baryons remain undetected even by the most advanced X-ray observatories, which are limited in sensitivity to the diffuse low-density medium.
Aims. The Planck satellite has provided hundreds of detections of the hot gas in clusters of galaxies via the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect and is an ideal instrument for studying extended low-density media through the tSZ effect. In this paper we use the Planck data to search for signatures of a fraction of these missing baryons between pairs of galaxy clusters.
Methods. Cluster pairs are good candidates for searching for the hotter and denser phase of the intergalactic medium (which is more easily observed through the SZ effect). Using an X-ray catalogue of clusters and the Planck data, we selected physical pairs of clusters as candidates. Using the Planck data, we constructed a local map of the tSZ effect centred on each pair of galaxy clusters. ROSAT data were used to construct X-ray maps of these pairs. After modelling and subtracting the tSZ effect and X-ray emission for each cluster in the pair, we studied the residuals on both the SZ and X-ray maps.
Results. For the merging cluster pair A399-A401 we observe a significant tSZ effect signal in the intercluster region beyond the virial radii of the clusters. A joint X-ray SZ analysis allows us to constrain the temperature and density of this intercluster medium. We obtain a temperature of kT = 7.1 +/- 0.9 keV (consistent with previous estimates) and a baryon density of (3.7 +/- 0.2) x 10(-4) cm(-3). Conclusions. The Planck satellite mission has provided the first SZ detection of the hot and diffuse intercluster gas.

AB The survey of galaxy clusters performed by Planck through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect has already discovered many interesting objects, thanks to its full sky coverage. One of the SZ candidates detected in the early months of the mission near to the signal-to-noise threshold, PLCKG214.6+37.0, was later revealed by XMM-Newton to be a triple system of galaxy clusters. We present the results from a deep XMM-Newton re-observation of PLCKG214.6+37.0, part of a multi-wavelength programme to investigate Planck discovered superclusters. The characterisation of the physical properties of the three components has allowed us to build a template model to extract the total SZ signal of this system with Planck data. We have partly reconciled the discrepancy between the expected SZ signal derived from X-rays and the observed one, which are now consistent within 1.2 sigma. We measured the redshift of the three components with the iron lines in the X-ray spectrum, and confirm that the three clumps are likely part of the same supercluster structure. The analysis of the dynamical state of the three components, as well as the absence of detectable excess X-ray emission, suggests that we are witnessing the formation of a massive cluster at an early phase of interaction.

AB We examine the relation between the galaxy cluster mass M and Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect signal D-A(2) Y-500 for a sample of 19 objects for which weak lensing (WL) mass measurements obtained from Subaru Telescope data are available in the literature. Hydrostatic X-ray masses are derived from XMM-Newton archive data, and the SZ effect signal is measured from Planck all-sky survey data. We find an M-WL-D-A(2) Y-500 relation that is consistent in slope and normalisation with previous determinations using weak lensing masses; however, there is a normalisation offset with respect to previous measures based on hydrostatic X-ray mass-proxy relations. We verify that our SZ effect measurements are in excellent agreement with previous determinations from Planck data. For the present sample, the hydrostatic X-ray masses at R-500 are on average similar to 20 percent larger than the corresponding weak lensing masses, which is contrary to expectations. We show that the mass discrepancy is driven by a difference in mass concentration as measured by the two methods and, for the present sample, that the mass discrepancy and difference in mass concentration are especially large for disturbed systems. The mass discrepancy is also linked to the offset in centres used by the X-ray and weak lensing analyses, which again is most important in disturbed systems. We outline several approaches that are needed to help achieve convergence in cluster mass measurement with X-ray and weak lensing observations.

AB We present the final results from the XMM-Newton validation follow-up of new Planck galaxy cluster candidates. We observed 15 new candidates, detected with signal-to-noise ratios between 4.0 and 6.1 in the 15.5-month nominal Planck survey. The candidates were selected using ancillary data flags derived from the ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS) and Digitized Sky Survey all-sky maps, with the aim of pushing into the low SZ flux, high-z regime and testing RASS flags as indicators of candidate reliability. Fourteen new clusters were detected by XMM-Newton, ten single clusters and two double systems. Redshifts from X-ray spectroscopy lie in the range 0.2 to 0.9, with six clusters at z > 0.5. Estimated masses (M-500) range from 2.5 x 10(14) to 8 x 10(14) M-circle dot. We discuss our results in the context of the full XMM-Newton validation programme, in which 51 new clusters have been detected. This includes four double and two triple systems, some of which are chance projections on the sky of clusters at different redshifts. We find that association with a source from the RASS-Bright Source Catalogue is a robust indicator of the reliability of a candidate, whereas association with a source from the RASS-Faint Source Catalogue does not guarantee that the SZ candidate is a bona fide cluster. Nevertheless, most Planck clusters appear in RASS maps, with a significance greater than 2 sigma being a good indication that the candidate is a real cluster. Candidate validation from association with SDSS galaxy overdensity at z > 0.5 is also discussed. The full sample gives a Planck sensitivity threshold of Y-500 similar to 4 x 10(-4) arcmin(2), with indication for Malmquist bias in the YX-Y500 relation below this threshold. The corresponding mass threshold depends on redshift. Systems with M-500 > 5 x 10(14) M-circle dot at z > 0.5 are easily detectable with Planck. The newly-detected clusters follow the Y-X-Y-500 relation derived from X-ray selected samples. Compared to X-ray selected clusters, the new SZ clusters have a lower X-ray luminosity on average for their mass. There is no indication of departure from standard self-similar evolution in the X-ray versus SZ scaling properties. In particular, there is no significant evolution of the Y-X/Y-500 ratio.

FX Planck (http://www. esa. int/Planck) is a project of the European Space
Agency (ESA) with instruments provided by two scientific consortia
funded by ESA member states (in particular the lead countries: France
and Italy) with contributions from NASA (USA), and telescope reflectors
provided in a collaboration between ESA and a scientific consortium led
and funded by Denmark.; The Planck Collaboration thanks Norbert Schartel
for his support of the validation process and for granting discretionary
time for the observation of Planck cluster candidates. The present work
is based on observations obtained with XMM-Newton, an ESA science
mission with instruments and contributions directly funded by ESA Member
States and the USA (NASA). This research has made use of the following
databases: SIMBAD, operated at the CDS, Strasbourg, France; the NED
database, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California
Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration; BAX, which is operated by IRAP, under contract
with the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES); and the SZ
repository operated by IAS Data and Operation centre (IDOC) under
contract with CNES. Based on photographic data obtained using The UK
Schmidt Telescope. We further used observations made with the Italian
Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) operated on the island of La Palma by
the Fundacion Galileo Galilei of the INAF (Istituto Nazionale di
Astrofisica) at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of
the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (Science Program ID
AOT24/11-A24DDT3), on observations made with the Nordic Optical
Telescope, operated on the island of La Palma jointly by Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, in the Spanish Observatorio del
Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias
(Science Program ID 43-016), observations obtained at the Gemini
Observatory, which is operated by the Association of Universities for
Research in Astronomy, Inc., under a cooperative agreement with the NSF
on behalf of the Gemini partnership: the National Science Foundation
(United States), the Science and Technology Facilities Council (United
Kingdom), the National Research Council (Canada), CONICYT (Chile), the
Australian Research Council (Australia), Ministerio da Ciencia e
Tecnologia (Brazil) and Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion
Productiva (Argentina), Gemini Science Program ID: GN-2011B-Q-41. The
authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural
role and reverence that the summit of Mauna Kea has always had within
the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the
opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain. A description of

AB Taking advantage of the all-sky coverage and broad frequency range of the Planck satellite, we study the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) and pressure profiles of 62 nearby massive clusters detected at high significance in the 14-month nominal survey. Careful reconstruction of the SZ signal indicates that most clusters are individually detected at least out to R-500. By stacking the radial profiles, we have statistically detected the radial SZ signal out to 3 x R-500, i. e., at a density contrast of about 50-100, though the dispersion about the mean profile dominates the statistical errors across the whole radial range. Our measurement is fully consistent with previous Planck results on integrated SZ fluxes, further strengthening the agreement between SZ and X-ray measurements inside R-500. Correcting for the effects of the Planck beam, we have calculated the corresponding pressure profiles. This new constraint from SZ measurements is consistent with the X-ray constraints from XMM-Newton in the region in which the profiles overlap (i. e., [0.1-1] R-500), and is in fairly good agreement with theoretical predictions within the expected dispersion. At larger radii the average pressure profile is slightly flatter than most predictions from numerical simulations. Combining the SZ and X-ray observed profiles into a joint fit to a generalised pressure profile gives best-fit parameters [P-0, c(500), gamma, alpha, beta] = [6.41, 1.81, 0.31, 1.33, 4.13]. Using a reasonable hypothesis for the gas temperature in the cluster outskirts we reconstruct from our stacked pressure profile the gas mass fraction profile out to 3 R-500. Within the temperature driven uncertainties, our Planck constraints are compatible with the cosmic baryon fraction and expected gas fraction in halos.

AB Context. XSS J1227.0-4859 is a peculiar, hard X-ray source recently positionally associated to the Fermi-LAT source 1FGL J1227.9-4852/2FGL J1227.7-4853. Multi-wavelength observations have added information on this source, indicating a low-luminosity low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB), but its nature is still unclear.
Aims. To progress in our understanding, we present new X-ray data from a monitoring campaign performed in 2011 with the XMM-Newton, RXTE, and Swift satellites and combine them with new gamma-ray data from the Fermi and AGILE satellites. We complement the study with simultaneous near-UV photometry from XMM-Newton and with previous UV/optical and near-IR data.
Methods. We analysed the temporal characteristics in the X-rays, near-UV, and gamma rays and studied the broad-band spectral energy distribution from radio to gamma rays.
Results. The X-ray history of XSS J1227 over 7 yr shows a persistent and rather stable low-luminosity (6 x 10(33) d(1kpc)(2) erg s(-1)) source, with flares and dips being peculiar and permanent characteristics. The associated Fermi-LAT source 2FGL J1227.7-4853 is also stable over an overlapping period of 4.7 yr. Searches for X-ray fast pulsations down to msec give upper limits to pulse fractional amplitudes of 15-25% that do not rule out a fast spinning pulsar. The combined UV/optical/near-IR spectrum reveals a hot component at similar to 13 kK and a cool one at similar to 4.6 kK. The latter would suggest a late-type K2-K5 companion star, a distance range of 1.4-3.6 kpc, and an orbital period of 7-9 h. A near-UV variability (greater than or similar to 6 h) also suggests a longer orbital period than previously estimated.
Conclusions. The analysis shows that the X-ray and UV/optical/near-IR emissions are more compatible with an accretion-powered compact object than with a rotational powered pulsar. The X-ray to UV bolometric luminosity ratio could be consistent with a binary hosting a neutron star, but the uncertainties in the radio data may also allow an LMXB black hole with a compact jet. In this case, it would be the first associated with a high-energy gamma-ray source.

AB Aims. We study a microflare, classified as a GOES-A1 after background subtraction, which was observed in active region NOAA 8541 on May 15, 1999.
Methods. We used TRACE filtergrams to study the morphology and time evolution. SUMER spectral lines were used to diagnose the chromospheric plasma (Si II 1533 angstrom), transition region plasma (C IV 1548, 1550 angstrom), and coronal plasma (Ne VIII 770 angstrom).
Results. In the 171 angstrom and 195 angstrom filtergrams, we measure apparent mass motions along two small loops that compose the microflare from the eastern toward the western footpoints. In SUMER, the microflare is detected as a small (47 Mm(2)), bright area at the western footpoints of the TRACE loops. The spectral profiles recorded over the bright area are complex. The Si II 1533 angstrom line is self-reversed owing to opacity, and the coronal Ne VIII line profile is composed of two Gaussian components, one of them systematically redshifted. The C IV 1548 angstrom and 1550 angstrom profiles are badly distorted because of the temporary depression of the detector local gain caused by the very high count rates reached in the flaring region and we can only confirm the presence of strong blueshifts of similar or equal to-200 km s(-1). Few, unaffected C IV profiles show two spectral components. In the northern part of the bright area, all SUMER spectral lines have at least one blueshifted spectral component. In the southern region of the bright area the spectral lines are redshifted. Adjacent to the microflare we measure, for the first time on the solar disk, an intensity ratio of the 1548 angstrom line to 1550 angstrom line with values of three to four, indicating that resonance scattering prevails in the lines formation. Moreover, the scattering region is found to be cospatial to a solar pore.
Conclusions. The blueshifts in the footpoints of the microflare and the apparent mass motions observed with TRACE can be explained by a gentle chromospheric evaporation triggered by the microflare. The redshifted spectral components can be explained as cooling material that is falling back on the solar surface. The presence of resonant scattering can be explained by the low electron density expected in the transition region of a solar pore, combined with the high photon flux coming from the nearby microflare. We estimate that the lower limit of the electron density in the pore lies in the range 10(8) cm(-3) to 10(9) cm(-3).

AB We report on Herschel/PACS observations of absorption lines of OH+, H2O+ and H3O+ in NGC 4418 and Arp 220. Excited lines of OH+ and H2O+ with E-lower of at least 285 and similar to 200 K, respectively, are detected in both sources, indicating radiative pumping and location in the high radiation density environment of the nuclear regions. Abundance ratios OH+/H2O+ of 1-2.5 are estimated in the nuclei of both sources. The inferred OH+ column and abundance relative to H nuclei are (0.5-1) x 10(16) cm(-2) and similar to 2 x 10(-8), respectively. Additionally, in Arp 220, an extended low excitation component around the nuclear region is found to have OH+/H2O+ similar to 5-10. H3O+ is detected in both sources with N(H3O+) similar to (0.5-2) x 10(16) cm(-2), and in Arp 220 the pure inversion, metastable lines indicate a high rotational temperature of similar to 500 K, indicative of formation pumping and/or hot gas. Simple chemical models favor an ionization sequence dominated by H+ -> O+ -> OH+ -> H2O+ -> H3O+, and we also argue that the H+ production is most likely dominated by X-ray/cosmic ray ionization. The full set of observations and models leads us to propose that the molecular ions arise in a relatively low density (similar to 10(4) cm(-3)) interclump medium, in which case the ionization rate per H nucleus (including secondary ionizations) is zeta > 10(-13) s(-1), a lower limit that is several x 10(2) times the highest current rate estimates for Galactic regions. In Arp 220, our lower limit for zeta is compatible with estimates for the cosmic ray energy density inferred previously from the supernova rate and synchrotron radio emission, and also with the expected ionization rate produced by X-rays. In NGC 4418, we argue that X-ray ionization due to an active galactic nucleus is responsible for the molecular ion production.

AB Context. The characterization of multiple stellar systems is an important ingredient for testing current star formation models. Stars are more often found in multiple systems, the more massive they are. A complete knowledge of the multiplicity of high-mass stars over the full range of orbit separations is thus essential to understand their still debated formation process.
Aims. Infrared long baseline interferometry is very well suited to close the gap between spectroscopic and adaptive optics searches. Observations of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) in general and the Trapezium Cluster in particular can help to answer the question about the origin and evolution of multiple stars. Earlier studies provide a good knowledge about the multiplicity of the stars at very small (spectroscopic companions) and large separations (AO, speckle companions) and thus make the ONC a good target for such a project.
Methods. We used the near infrared interferometric instrument AMBER at ESOs Very Large Telescope Interferometer to observe a sample of bright stars in the ONC. We complement our data set by archival NACO observations of theta(1) Ori A to obtain more information about the orbit of the close visual companion.
Results. Our observations resolve the known multiple systems theta(1) Ori C and theta(1) Ori A and provide new orbit points, which confirm the predicted orbit and the determined stellar parameters for theta(1) Ori C. Combining AMBER and NACO data for theta(1) Ori A we were able to follow the (orbital) motion of the companion from 2003 to 2011. We furthermore find hints for a companion around theta(1) Ori D, whose existence has been suggested already before, and a previously unknown companion to NU Ori. With a probability of similar to 90% we can exclude further companions with masses of >= 3 M-circle dot around our sample stars for separations between similar to 2 mas and similar to 110 mas.
Conclusions. We conclude that the companion around theta(1) Ori A is most likely physically related to the primary star and not only a chance projected star. The newly discovered possible companions further increase the multiplicity in the ONC. For our sample of two O and three B-type stars we find on average 2.5 known companions per primary, which is around five times more than for low-mass stars.

AB We use archival UV absorption-line data from HST/STIS to statistically analyse the absorption characteristics of the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) in the Galactic halo towards more than 40 extragalactic background sources. We determine absorption covering fractions of low-and intermediate ions (Oi, Cii, Si ii, Mgii, Feii, Si iii, Civ, and Si iv) in the range f(c) = 0.20-0.70. For detailed analysis we concentrate on Si ii absorption components in HVCs, for which we investigate the distribution of column densities, b-values, and radial velocities. Combining information for Si ii and Mg II, and using a geometrical HVC model we investigate the contribution of HVCs to the absorption cross section of strong Mg ii absorbers in the local Universe. We estimate that the Galactic HVCs would contribute on average similar to 52 percent to the total strong Mg ii cross section of the Milky Way, if our Galaxy were to be observed from an exterior vantage point. We further estimate that the mean projected covering fraction of strong Mg ii absorption in the Milky Way halo and disc from an exterior vantage point is < f(c,sMgII)> = 0.31 for a halo radius of R = 61 kpc. These numbers, together with the observed number density of strong Mg ii absorbers at low redshift, indicate that the contribution of infalling gas clouds (i.e., HVC analogues) in the halos of Milky Way-type galaxies to the cross section of strong Mgii absorbers is < 34 percent. These findings are in line with the idea that outflowing gas (e. g., produced by galactic winds) in the halos of more actively star-forming galaxies dominate the absorption-cross section of strong Mgii absorbers in the local Universe.

The new reaction network contains 6173 gas-phase reactions, involving 467 species, 47 of which are new to this release. We have updated rate coefficients across all reaction types. We have included 1171 new anion reactions and updated and reviewed all photorates. In addition to the usual reaction network, we also now include, for download, state-specific deuterated rate coefficients, deuterium exchange reactions and a list of surface binding energies for many neutral species. Where possible, we have referenced the original source of all new and existing data. We have tested the main reaction network using a dark cloud model and a carbon-rich circumstellar envelope model. We present and briefly discuss the results of these models.

AB Elemental abundance effects in active coronae have eluded our understanding for almost three decades, since the discovery of the first ionization potential (FIP) effect on the sun. The goal of this paper is to monitor the same coronal structures over a time interval of six days and resolve active regions on a stellar corona through rotational modulation. We report on four iso-phase X-ray spectroscopic observations of the RS CVn binary EI Eri with XMM-Newton, carried out approximately every two days, to match the rotation period of EI Eri. We present an analysis of the thermal and chemical structure of the EI Eri corona as it evolves over the six days. Although the corona is rather steady in its temperature distribution, the emission measure and FIP bias both vary and seem to be correlated. An active region, predating the beginning of the campaign, repeatedly enters into our view at the same phase as it rotates from beyond the stellar limb. As a result, the abundances tend slightly, but consistently, to increase for high FIP elements (an inverse FIP effect) with phase. We estimate the abundance increase of high FIP elements in the active region to be of about 75% over the coronal mean. This observed fractionation of elements in an active region on time scales of days provides circumstantial clues regarding the element enrichment mechanism of non-flaring stellar coronae.

TI Full-disk nonlinear force-free field extrapolation of SDO/HMI and

AB Context. The magnetic field configuration is essential for understanding solar explosive phenomena, such as flares and coronal mass ejections. To overcome the unavailability of coronal magnetic field measurements, photospheric magnetic field vector data can be used to reconstruct the coronal field. Two complications of this approach are that the measured photospheric magnetic field is not force-free and that one has to apply a preprocessing routine to achieve boundary conditions suitable for the force-free modeling. Furthermore the nonlinear force-free extrapolation code should take uncertainties into account in the photospheric field data. They occur due to noise, incomplete inversions, or azimuth ambiguity-removing techniques.
Aims. Extrapolation codes in Cartesian geometry for modeling the magnetic field in the corona do not take the curvature of the Sun's surface into account and can only be applied to relatively small areas, e. g., a single active region. Here we apply a method for nonlinear force-free coronal magnetic field modeling and preprocessing of photospheric vector magnetograms in spherical geometry using the optimization procedure to full disk vector magnetograms. We compare the analysis of the photospheric magnetic field and subsequent force-free modeling based on full-disk vector maps from Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the solar dynamics observatory (SDO) and Vector Spectromagnetograph (VSM) of the Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun (SOLIS).
Methods. We used HMI and VSM photospheric magnetic field measurements to model the force-free coronal field above multiple solar active regions, assuming magnetic forces to dominate. We solved the nonlinear force-free field equations by minimizing a functional in spherical coordinates over a full disk and excluding the poles. After searching for the optimum modeling parameters for the particular data sets, we compared the resulting nonlinear force-free model fields. We compared quantities, such as the total magnetic energy content, free magnetic energy, the longitudinal distribution of the magnetic pressure, and surface electric current density, using our spherical geometry extrapolation code.
Results. The magnetic field lines obtained from nonlinear force-free extrapolation based on HMI and VSM data show good agreement. However, the nonlinear force-free extrapolation based on HMI data contain more total magnetic energy, free magnetic energy, the longitudinal distribution of the magnetic pressure, and surface electric current density than do the VSM data.

AB Context. A Band function has become the standard spectral function used to describe the prompt emission spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, deviations from this function have previously been observed in GRBs detected by BATSE and in individual GRBs from the Fermi era.
Aims. We present a systematic and rigorous search for spectral deviations from a Band function at low energies in a sample of the first two years of high fluence, long bursts detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). The sample contains 45 bursts with a fluence greater than 2 x 10(-5) erg/cm(2) (10-1000 keV).
Methods. An extrapolated fit method is used to search for low-energy spectral anomalies, whereby a Band function is fit above a variable low-energy threshold and then the best fit function is extrapolated to lower energy data. Deviations are quantified by examining residuals derived from the extrapolated function and the data and their significance is determined via comprehensive simulations which account for the instrument response. This method was employed for both time-integrated burst spectra and time-resolved bins defined by a signal-to-noise ratio of 25 sigma and 50 sigma.
Results. Significant deviations are evident in 3 bursts (GRB 081215A, GRB090424 and GRB090902B) in the time-integrated sample (similar to 7%) and 5 bursts (GRB 090323, GRB090424, GRB090820, GRB090902B and GRB090926A) in the time-resolved sample (similar to 11%).
Conclusions. The advantage of the systematic, blind search analysis is that it can demonstrate the requirement for an additional spectral component without any prior knowledge of the nature of that extra component. Deviations are found in a large fraction of high fluence GRBs; fainter GRBs may not have sufficient statistics for deviations to be found using this method.

AB We examined the influence of catchment geology, specifically differences in buffering capacity, on the limnological characteristics and surface sediment diatom assemblages from lakes and ponds from Bathurst Island, High Arctic Canada. Differences in buffering capacity exist on Bathurst Island due to a geological gradient that spans from carbonate-bearing limestone in the east, to more stable quartz sandstone, siltstone, and shale in the west. We collected physical and chemical limnological data, as well as surface sediment diatom assemblages from nine ponds on the poorly buffered western portion of the island and combined these observations with a previously published dataset of 31 lakes and ponds, from the well-buffered eastern region. The addition of these nine ponds expanded the pH gradient of the existing Bathurst Island dataset (pH 8.08.6) to pH 6.88.6. A regional, weighted average diatom-inferred pH model was developed and showed strength similar to other Arctic calibration sets (rboot2=0.63, root-mean-squared-error of prediction (RMSEP)=0.298). Given the links between climate and pH shifts in the High Arctic, the ability to reconstruct pH should be a valuable tool for future paleolimnological studies.

The MABEL instrument provides a new capability for airborne altimetry measurements and serves as a prototype and simulator for the upcoming NASA second-generation Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat-2) mission. Designed to be highly flexible in measurement capability, MABEL serves as both a demonstration of measurement capability and a science tool for cryospheric and biospheric remote sensing. It is important to document the instrument specifications and essential background information to provide a suitable reference for the detailed MABEL results and science investigation publications that will be forthcoming.

TI Oxidation Transitions for SiC Part II. Passive-to-Active Transitions
SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY
LA English
DT Article
ID ELEVATED-TEMPERATURES; SILICON-CARBIDE
AB Oxidation of SiC can occur in a passive mode, where a protective film is generated, or in an active mode, where a volatile suboxide is generated. The transitions from active-to-passive and passive-to-active are particularly important to understand as they occur via different mechanisms. In Part II of this article, the passive-to-active transition is explored. Three different types of SiC are examinedSi-rich SiC, stoichiometric SiC, and C-rich SiC. In addition to an in situ transition from passive-to-active, the effect of a preformed film on all three types of SiC is explored. It appears that the passive-to-active transition occurs when the SiO2 scale begins to react with the SiC substrate. This reaction generates SiO(g) and CO(g), which build pressure beneath the SiO2 scale, eventually causing the oxide to rupture. In addition, the SiO(g) can oxidize a distance away from the surface leading to the formation of SiO2 needles and further promoting this SiO2/SiC reaction. Thermodynamic and kinetic data are used to predict transition pressures of oxygen, which show reasonable agreement with those measured.

ID INDUCED AMPLITUDE APODIZATION; ASTROMETRY; PHOTOMETRY; TELESCOPE
AB Detection and characterization of exo-Earths require direct imaging techniques that can deliver contrast ratios of 10(10) at 100 mas or smaller angular separation. At the same time, astrometric data is required to measure planet masses and to help detect planets and constrain their orbital parameters. To minimize costs, a single space mission can be designed using a high-efficiency coronagraph to perform direct imaging and a diffractive pupil to calibrate wide field distortions to enable high-precision astrometric measurements. This article reports the testing of a diffractive pupil on the high-contrast test bed at the NASA Ames Research Center to assess the compatibility of using a diffractive pupil with coronagraphic imaging systems. No diffractive contamination was found within our detectability limit of 2 x 10(-7) contrast outside a region of 12 lambda/D and 2.5 x 10(-6) within a region spanning from 2 to 12 lambda/D. Morphology of the image features suggests that no contamination exists even beyond the detectability limit specified or at smaller working angles. In the case that diffractive contamination is found beyond these stated levels, active wavefront control would be able to mitigate its intensity to 10(-7) or better contrast.

AB The threat of micro-meteoroid and orbital debris (MMOD) collisions with spacecraft and satellites has been increasing with the increasing worldwide use of low earth orbit. Providing low-areal-density shielding for the mitigation of these high velocity impacts is essential for ensuring successful and cost effective missions. Here, we report results obtained from hypervelocity impact testing on bulk metallic glass (BMG) matrix composites. Their carbide-like hardness, low melting temperatures, ultra-high strength-to-weight ratio and the ability to be processed like polymers are material attributes ideally suited for spacecraft shielding, particularly as an outer wall bumper shield.

AB Microorganisms are abundant in the upper atmosphere, particularly downwind of arid regions, where winds can mobilize large amounts of topsoil and dust. However, the challenge of collecting samples from the upper atmosphere and reliance upon culture-based characterization methods have prevented a comprehensive understanding of globally dispersed airborne microbes. In spring 2011 at the Mt. Bachelor Observatory in North America (2.8 km above sea level), we captured enough microbial biomass in two transpacific air plumes to permit a microarray analysis using 16S rRNA genes. Thousands of distinct bacterial taxa spanning a wide range of phyla and surface environments were detected before, during, and after each Asian long-range transport event. Interestingly, the transpacific plumes delivered higher concentrations of taxa already in the background air (particularly Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes). While some bacterial families and a few marine archaea appeared for the first and only time during the plumes, the microbial community compositions were similar, despite the unique transport histories of the air masses. It seems plausible, when coupled with atmospheric modeling and chemical analysis, that microbial biogeography can be used to pinpoint the source of intercontinental dust plumes. Given the degree of richness measured in our study, the overall contribution of Asian aerosols to microbial species in North American air warrants additional investigation.

AB New transiting planet candidates are identified in 16 months (2009 May-2010 September) of data from the Kepler spacecraft. Nearly 5000 periodic transit-like signals are vetted against astrophysical and instrumental false positives yielding 1108 viable new planet candidates, bringing the total count up to over 2300. Improved vetting metrics are employed, contributing to higher catalog reliability. Most notable is the noise-weighted robust averaging of multiquarter photo-center offsets derived from difference image analysis that identifies likely background eclipsing binaries. Twenty-two months of photometry are used for the purpose of characterizing each of the candidates. Ephemerides (transit epoch, T-0, and orbital period, P) are tabulated as well as the products of light curve modeling: reduced radius (R-P / R-star), reduced semimajor axis (d / R-star), and impact parameter (b). The largest fractional increases are seen for the smallest planet candidates (201% for candidates smaller than 2R(circle plus). compared to 53% for candidates larger than 2R.) and those at longer orbital periods (124% for candidates outside of 50 day orbits versus 86% for candidates inside of 50 day orbits). The gains are larger than expected from increasing the observing window from 13 months (Quarters 1-5) to 16 months (Quarters 1-6) even in regions of parameter space where one would have expected the previous catalogs to be complete. Analyses of planet frequencies based on previous catalogs will be affected by such incompleteness. The fraction of all planet candidate host stars with multiple candidates has grown from 17% to 20%, and the paucity of short-period giant planets in multiple systems is still evident. The progression toward smaller planets at longer orbital periods with each new catalog release suggests that Earth-size planets in the habitable zone are forthcoming if, indeed, such planets are abundant.

AB Two field campaigns, the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) and the Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE), took place in 2006 near Niamey, Niger, and Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, providing extensive observations of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) near a desert and a tropical coast, respectively. Under the constraint of their observations, three-dimensional cloud-resolving model simulations are carried out and presented in this paper to replicate the basic characteristics of the observed MCSs. All of the modeled MCSs exhibit a distinct structure having deep convective clouds accompanied by stratiform and anvil clouds. In contrast to the approximately 100-km-scale MCSs observed in TWP-ICE, the MCSs in AMNIA have been successfully simulated with a scale of about 400 km.
These modeled AMMA and TWP-ICE MCSs offer an opportunity to understand the structure and mechanism of MCSs. Comparing the water budgets between AMMA and TWP-ICE MCSs suggests that TWP-ICE convective clouds have stronger ascent while the mesoscale ascent outside convective clouds in AMMA is stronger. A case comparison, with the aid of sensitivity experiments, also suggests that vertical wind shear and ice crystal (or dust aerosol) concentration can significantly impact stratiform and anvil clouds (e.g., their areas) in MCSs. In addition, the obtained water budgets quantitatively describe the transport of water between convective, stratiform, and anvil regions as well as water sources/sinks from microphysical processes, providing information that can be used to help determine parameters in the convective and cloud parameterizations in general circulation models (GCMs).

AB In this study, the authors investigated the characteristics of tropical easterly wave convection and the possible implications of convective structure on tropical cyclogenesis and intensification over the Atlantic Ocean and the east Pacific Ocean. Easterly waves were partitioned into northerly, southerly, trough, and ridge phases based on the 700-hPa meridional wind from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis dataset. Waves were subsequently divided according to whether they did or did not develop tropical cyclones (i.e., developing and nondeveloping, respectively), and developing waves were further subdivided according to development location. Finally, composites as a function of wave phase and category were created using data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager, Precipitation Radar (PR), and Lightning Imaging Sensor as well as infrared (IR) brightness temperature data from the NASA global-merged IR brightness temperature dataset.
Results suggest that the convective characteristics that best distinguish developing from nondeveloping waves vary according to where developing waves spawn tropical cyclones. For waves that develop a cyclone in the Atlantic basin, coverage by IR brightness temperatures <= 240 and <= 210 K provide the best distinction between developing and nondeveloping waves. In contrast, several variables provide a significant distinction between nondeveloping waves and waves that develop cyclones over the east Pacific as these waves near their genesis location including IR threshold coverage, lightning flash rates, and low-level (<4.5 km) PR reflectivity. Results of this study may be used to help develop thresholds to better distinguish developing from nondeveloping waves and serve as another aid for tropical cyclogenesis forecasting.

AB Two mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) observed during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses(AMMA) experiment are simulated using the three-dimensional (3D) Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model. This study was undertaken to determine the performance of the cloud-resolving model in representing distinct convective and microphysical differences between the two MCSs over a tropical continental location. Simulations are performed using 1-km horizontal grid spacing, a lower limit on current embedded cloud-resolving models within a global multiscale modeling framework. Simulated system convective structure and microphysics are compared to radar observations using contoured frequency-by-altitude diagrams (CFADs), calculated ice and water mass, and identified hydrometeor variables. Vertical distributions of ice hydrometeors indicate underestimation at the mid- and upper levels, partially due to the inability of the model to produce adequate system heights. The abundance of high-reflectivity values below and near the melting level in the simulation led to a broadening of the CFAD distributions. Observed vertical reflectivity profiles show that high reflectivity is present at greater heights than the simulations produced, thought to be a result of using a single-moment microphysics scheme. Relative trends in the population of simulated hydrometeors are in agreement with observations, though a secondary convective burst is not well represented. Despite these biases, the radar-observed differences between the two cases are noticeable in the simulations as well, suggesting that the model has some skill in capturing observed differences between the two MCSs.

AB Assimilation of remotely sensed precipitation observations into numerical weather prediction models can improve precipitation forecasts and extend prediction capabilities in hydrological applications. This paper presents a new regional ensemble data assimilation system that assimilates precipitation-affected microwave radiances into the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF). To meet the challenges in satellite data assimilation involving cloud and precipitation processes, hydrometeors produced by the cloud-resolving model are included as control variables and ensemble forecasts are used to estimate flow-dependent background error covariance. Two assimilation experiments have been conducted using precipitation-affected radiances from passive microwave sensors: one for a tropical storm after landfall and the other for a heavy rain event in the southeastern United States. The experiments examined the propagation of information in observed radiances via flow-dependent background error auto-and cross covariance, as well as the error statistics of observational radiance. The results show that ensemble assimilation of precipitation-affected radiances improves the quality of precipitation analyses in terms of spatial distribution and intensity in accumulated surface rainfall, as verified by independent ground-based precipitation observations.

AB Communications and weather satellites in geosynchronous (GEO, altitude: 35,793 km.) and geostationary orbits (GSO) are revolutionizing our ability to almost instantly communicate with each other, capture high resolution global imagery for weather forecasting and obtain a multitude of other geophysical data for environmental protection purposes. The rapid increase in the number of satellites at GEO is partly due to the exponential expansion of the internet, its commercial potential and the need to deliver a large amount of digital information in near real time. With the large number of satellites operating at GEO and particularly at GSO, there is a need to think of viable approaches to retrieve, rejuvenate and perhaps repair these satellites. The first step in this process is a detailed understanding of the ionizing radiation environment at GEO. Currently, the most widely used trapped particle radiation environment definition near Earth is based on the NASA's static AP8/AE8 models which define the trapped proton and electron intensities. These models are based on a large number of satellite measurements carried out in the 1960s and 1970s. In this paper, the AP8/AE8 models as well as a heavy ion galactic cosmic ray (GCR) model are used to define the radiation environments for protons, electrons and heavy ions at low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO) and GEO. LEO and MEO dosimetric calculations are included in the analysis since any launch platform capable of delivering a payload to GEO will accumulate exposure during its transit through LEO and MEO. The computational approach (particle transport) taken in this paper is to use the static LEO, MEO, GEO and geomagnetically attenuated GCR environments as input to the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) developed deterministic particle transport codes high charge and energy transport (HZETRN) and coupled electron photon transport (CEPTRN). This is done through exposure prediction within a spherical shell, a legacy Apollo era command service module (CSM) configuration, and a large modular structure represented by a specific configuration of the international Space Station (ISS-11A, circa 2005). Based on the results of the simulations, conclusions are drawn on the exposure levels accumulated by these geometries throughout a mission to GEO. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The analysis of observations of very high frequency radio noise intensity at the middle latitude on a frequency f = 500 MHz from 14th till 26th of October, 2003 is presented. These data are compared with the solar radio bursts in the range of frequencies 1-14 MHz registered by RAD2 receiver of the WAVES device installed on board the WIND spacecraft.
The sporadic enhancement of near Earth very high frequency radio noise were observed with the help of ground radio telescope preferably either in pre mid night hours or at daytime. In many cases between October 17 and 22 short-term increases of the fluxes of low energy electrons, protons and ions in the interplanetary space by hundreds of times, corresponded to VHF radio bursts. At the same time slow increasing of solar cosmic rays streams at Lagrange point L1 and on geostationary orbit during October, 21 and 22, did not affect the usual radio noise level. A strong solar flare of 1B/X5.5 class on October 23 contributed to a prolonged rise of the intensity level of spectral radio emission, including the night sector of magnetosphere. It is assumed that very high frequency radio bursts in the near Earth space may appear when the processes of penetration of interplanetary low energy charge particles into Earth plasmasphere take place.

AB A three dimensional Ensemble Kalman filter (3-D EnKF) and a one dimensional EnKF (1-D EnKF) are used in this study to assimilate Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) coarse grid (25 km) soil moisture retrievals into the Noah land surface model for fine-scale (1 km) surface soil moisture estimation over the Little River Experimental Watershed (LREW), Georgia, USA. For the 1-D EnKF integration, the satellite observations are a priori partitioned to the model fine scale resolution, whereas in the 3-D EnKF integration, the original coarse grid satellite observations are directly used and downscaling is accomplished within the 3-D EnKF update step. In both cases, a first order a priori forecast bias correction is applied. Validation against in situ observations shows that both EnKF algorithms improve the soil moisture estimates, but the 3-D EnKF algorithm better preserves the spatial coherence. It is illustrated how surface soil moisture assimilation affects the deeper layer soil moisture and other water budget variables. Through sensitivity experiments, it is shown that data assimilation accelerates the moisture redistribution compared to the model integrations without assimilation, as surface soil moisture updates are effectively propagated over the entire profile. In the absence of data assimilation, the atmospheric conditions (especially the ratio of evapotranspiration to precipitation) control the model state balancing. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

AB The solid-rocket plumes from the abort motor of the multipurpose crew vehicle were simulated using hot, high-pressure, helium gas to determine pressure fluctuations on the vehicle surface in the event of an abort. About 80 different abort situations over a Mach number range of 0.3 to 1.2, and vehicle attitudes of +/- 14 deg, were simulated using a 6% scaled model inside the NASA Ames Transonic Wind Tunnel. The test showed very high level of surface pressure fluctuations caused by the hydrodynamic near-field of the plume shear layer. The plumes grew in size with increasing flight Mach number, which was associated with a lowering of the ambient pressure. This caused an increase of plume impingement on the vehicle. Interestingly, the trend was a decrease in the level of pressure fluctuations with increasing impingement. The wind-tunnel data were compared against flight data from the Pad Abort 1 flight test. Despite various differences between the transient-flight situation and the steady-state wind-tunnel simulations, the hot-helium data were found to replicate Pad Abort 1 fairly reasonably. The data gathered from this one-of-a-kind v,wind-tunnel test fills a gap in the manned-space programs, and will be used to establish the acoustic environment for vibro-acoustic qualification of the multipurpose crew vehicle.

TI COORDINATED SENSING OF NETWORKED BODY SENSORS USING MARKOV DECISION
PROCESSES
SO APPLIED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
LA English
DT Article
AB This article describes a Markov decision process (MDP) framework for coordinated sensing between correlated sensors in a body-area network. The technique is designed to extend the life of mobile continuous health-monitoring systems based on energy-constrained wearable sensors. The technique enables distributed sensors in a body-area network to adapt their sampling rates in response to changing criticality of the detected data and the limited energy reserve at each sensor node. The relationship between energy consumption, sampling rates, and utility of coordinated measurements is formulated as an MDP. This MDP is solved to generate a globally optimal policy that specifies the sampling rates for each sensor for all possible states of the system. This policy is computed offline before deployment and only the resulting policy is stored within each sensor node. We also present a method of executing the global policy without requiring continuous communication between the sensors. Each sensor node maintains a local estimate of the global state. Communication occurs only when an information-theoretic model of the uncertainty in the local state estimates exceeds a predefined threshold. We show results on simulated data that demonstrate the efficacy of this distributed-control framework and compare the performance of the proposed controller with other policies.

AB The Submarine Hydrothermal Alkaline Spring Theory for the emergence of life holds that it is the ordered delivery of hydrogen and methane in alkaline hydrothermal solutions at a spontaneously precipitated inorganic osmotic and catalytic membrane to the carbon dioxide and other electron acceptors in the earliest acidulous cool ocean that, through these gradients, drove life into being. That such interactions between hydrothermal fuels and potential oxidants have so far not been accomplished in the lab is because some steps along the necessary metabolic pathways are endergonic and must therefore be driven by being coupled to thermodynamically larger exergonic processes. But coupling of this kind is far from automatic and it is not enough to merely sum the Delta Gs of two supposedly coupled reactions and show their combined thermodynamic viability. An exergonic reaction will not drive an endergonic one unless 'forced' to do so by being tied to it mechanistically via an organized "engine" of "Free Energy Conversion" (FEC). Here we discuss the thermodynamics of FEC and advance proposals regarding the nature and roles of the FEC devices that could, in principle, have arisen spontaneously in the alkaline hydrothermal context and have forced the onset of a protometabolism. The key challenge is to divine what these initial engines of life were in physicochemical terms and as part of that, what structures provided the first "turnstile-like" mechanisms needed to couple the partner processes in free energy conversion; in particular to couple the dissipation of geochemically given gradients to, say, the reduction of CO2 to formate and the generation of a pyrophosphate disequilibrium.

AB Living cells are able to harvest energy by coupling exergonic electron transfer between reducing and oxidising substrates to the generation of chemiosmotic potential. Whereas a wide variety of redox substrates is exploited by prokaryotes resulting in very diverse layouts of electron transfer chains, the ensemble of molecular architectures of enzymes and redox cofactors employed to construct these systems is stunningly small and uniform. An overview of prominent types of electron transfer chains and of their characteristic electrochemical parameters is presented. We propose that basic thermodynamic considerations are able to rationalise the global molecular make-up and functioning of these chemiosmotic systems. Arguments from palaeogeochemistry and molecular phylogeny are employed to discuss the evolutionary history leading from putative energy metabolisms in early life to the chemiosmotic diversity of extant organisms. Following the Occam's razor principle, we only considered for this purpose origin of life scenarios which are contiguous with extant life.

AB The postbuckling response and failure of multi-stringer panels is analyzed using finite element models with three levels of approximation. The first model is based on a relatively coarse mesh to capture the global postbuckling response of a multi-stringer panel. The second model can predict the nonlinear response as well as the debonding and crippling failure mechanisms in a Single Stringer Compression Specimen (SSCS). The third model consists of a simplified version of the SSCS that is designed to minimize the computational effort. The simplified model is well-suited to perform sensitivity analyses for studying the phenomena that lead to structural collapse. In particular, the simplified model is used to obtain a deeper understanding of the role played by geometric and material modeling parameters such as mesh size and interlaminar strength. Finally, a global/local damage analysis method is proposed in which a detailed local model is used to scan the global model and identify the locations that are most critical for damage tolerance.

AB A theoretical and experimental study has been performed on a low-profile, 2.4-GHz dipole antenna that uses a frequency-selective surface (FSS) with varactor-tuned unit cells. The tunable unit cell is a square patch with a small aperture on either side to accommodate the varactor diodes. The varactors are placed only along one dimension to avoid the use of vias and simplify the dc bias network. An analytical circuit model for this type of electrically asymmetric unit cell is shown. The measured data demonstrate tunability from 2.15 to 2.63 GHz with peak gains at broadside that range from 3.7- to 5-dBi and instantaneous bandwidths of 50 to 280 MHz within the tuning range. It is shown that tuning for optimum performance in the presence of a human-core body phantom can be achieved. The total antenna thickness is approximately lambda/45.

DE Adaptive antennas; conformal antennas; microstrip arrays; phased arrays
and planar arrays
AB A phased-array test platform for studying the self-adapting capabilities of conformal antennas is developed and presented. Specifically, a four-port 2.45-GHz receiver with voltage controlled phase shifters and attenuators is designed along with four individual printed microstrip patch antennas attached to a conformal surface. Each antenna is connected to the corresponding receiver port with a flexible SMA cable. It is shown that with appropriate phase compensation, the distorted radiation pattern of the array can be recovered as the surface of the conformal array changes shape. This pattern recovery information is then used to develop a new self-adapting flexible 1 x 4 microstrip antenna array with an embedded flexible sensor system. In particular, a flexible resistive sensor is used to measure the deformation of the substrate of a conformal antenna array, while a sensor circuit is used to measure the changing resistance. The circuit then uses this information to control the individual voltage of the phase shifters of each radiating element in the array. It is shown that with appropriate phase compensation, the radiation properties of the array can be autonomously recovered as the surface of the flexible array changes shape during normal operation. Throughout this work, measurements are shown to agree with analytical solutions and simulations.

TI The Precipitation Characteristics of ISCCP Tropical Weather States
SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE
LA English
DT Article

AB The authors examine the daytime precipitation characteristics of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) weather states in the extended tropics (35 degrees S-35 degrees N) for a 10-yr period. The main precipitation dataset used is the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis operational product 3B42 dataset, but Global Precipitation Climatology Project daily data are also used for comparison. It is found that the most convectively active ISCCP weather state (WS1), despite an occurrence frequency below 10%, is the most dominant state with regard to surface precipitation, producing both the largest mean precipitation rates when present and the largest percent contribution to the total precipitation of the tropics; yet, even this weather state appears to not precipitate about half the time, although this may be to some extent an artifact of detection and spatiotemporal matching limitations of the precipitation dataset. WS1 exhibits a modest annual cycle of the domain-average precipitation rate, but notable seasonal shifts in its geographic distribution. The precipitation rates of the other weather states appear to be stronger when occurring before or after WS1. The precipitation rates of the various weather states are different between ocean and land, with WS1 producing higher daytime rates on average over ocean than land, likely because of the larger size and more persistent nature of oceanic WS1s. The results of this study, in addition to advancing the understanding of tropical hydrology, can serve as higher-order diagnostics for evaluating the realism of tropical precipitation distributions in large-scale models.

AB During process development testing of the ARES I composite interstage, large regions of node disbonds were observed in the aluminum honeycomb core. The sandwich panels were composed of carbon fiber/epoxy face sheets and one-eighth inch cell size aluminum core co-cured in an autoclave. Node disbonds were initially observed after cure with ultrasonic inspection and subsequently confirmed with X-ray inspection and cross sectioning. A stress analysis was performed on the residual thermal stresses resulting from post-cure cool down. Analysis indicated that the thermal stresses in the aluminum core are a function of foil thickness of the aluminum core. Thermal stresses are relieved through disbonding of the adhesive node. The node disbonds were shown to significantly reduce the shear capability of the sandwich structure. Funding was provided by the ARES I Upper Stage Project.

AB A great number of the bacteria and archaea on Earth are found in subsurface environments in a physiological state that is poorly represented or explained by laboratory cultures. Microbial cells in these very stable and oligotrophic settings catabolize 10(4)-to 10(6)-fold more slowly than model organisms in nutrient-rich cultures, turn over biomass on timescales of centuries to millennia rather than hours to days, and subsist with energy fluxes that are 1,000-fold lower than the typical culture-based estimates of maintenance requirements. To reconcile this disparate state of being with our knowledge of microbial physiology will require a revised understanding of microbial energy requirements, including identifying the factors that comprise true basal maintenance and the adaptations that might serve to minimize these factors.

ID CAVITY
AB We report the demonstration of whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators augmented with diffraction gratings. We apply focused ion beam (FIB) methods to precisely engrave a surface grating directly into the perimeter of a crystalline disc. The grating provides a simple and highly directional free-space coupling mechanism with superior stability to evanescent coupling techniques. These integrated gratings can also provide control of the resonance spectrum, significantly reducing the mode density. Our FIB fabrication process does not introduce significant loss; Q similar or equal to 3 x 10(7) has been demonstrated. The wavelength dependence of the diffraction angle was found to be in excellent agreement with grating theory. The versatility of spectral control and far-field grating coupling will have significant impact in WGM resonator applications in lasers, sensors, and optoelectronics.

AB DOARN CR, MOHLER SR. Physician training in aerospace medicine an historical review in the United States. Aviat Space Environ Med 2013; 84:158-62. The training of U.S. physicians in aviation medicine closely followed the development of reliable airplanes. This training has matured as aviation and space travel have become more routine over the past several decades. In the U.S., this training began in support of military pilots who were flying increasingly complex aircraft in the early part of the 20th century. As individuals reached into the stratosphere, low Earth orbit, and eventually to the Moon, physicians were trained not only through military efforts but in academic settings as well. This paper provides an historical summary of how physician training in aerospace medicine developed in the U.S., citing both the development of the military activities and, more importantly, the perspectives of the academic programs. This history is important as we move forward in the development of commercial space travel and the needs that such a business model will be required to meet.

AB The upcoming Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) will include new channels centered around 1.38 mu m and 12 mu m. This work studies the potential impact of these new channels on LDCM's cloud detection capabilities by using MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data as a proxy. Thresholds for the 1.38 mu m band and the so-called "split window" technique (using the brightness temperature difference of bands centered at 11 mu m and 12 mu m) are derived using atmospheric profiles from the ECMWF ERA-40 reanalysis and a MODIS-band radiance simulator. The thresholds are incorporated into a previously published cloud mask scheme and applied on low-and mid-latitude (60 degrees S to 60 degrees N) MODIS radiance data from two different days, six months apart. While the previous scheme yields agreement rates to the MODIS cloud mask just below 80%, the addition of the 1.38 mu m and split window tests increases the agreement by 7-9%. The earlier scheme is still appropriate for cloud masking of historical Landsat images and for carrying consistent cloud detection into the future. The enhanced scheme of this paper, on the other hand, with its improved masking of primarily high thin clouds, can be either used independently or combined with other masking techniques for generating reliable LDCM cloud mask products that can potentially include confidence indicators based on the degree of agreement between multiple cloud masks.

AB The application of ocean color product retrieval algorithms for pixels containing cloud shadows leads to erroneous results. Thus, shadows are an important scene type that should be identified and excluded from the set of clear-sky pixels. In this paper, we present an optical cloud shadow-detection technique called the Cloud Shadow Detection Index (CSDI). This approach is for homogeneous water bodies such as deep waters where shadow detection is very challenging due to the relatively small differences in the brightness values of the shadows and neighboring sunlit or some other regions. The CSDI technique is developed based on the small differences between the total radiances reaching the sensor from the shadowed and neighboring sunlit regions of similar optical properties by amplifying the differences through integrating the spectra of the two regions. The Integrated Value (IV) is then normalized by the mean of the IVs within a spatial adaptive sliding box where atmospheric and marine optical properties are assumed homogeneous. Assuming that the true color and the IV images represent accurate shadow locations, the results were visually compared. The CSDI images agree reasonably well with the corresponding true color and the IV images over open ocean. Also, the shape of the cloud shadow particularly for the isolated cloud closely follows that of the cloud, as expected, reconfirming the potential of the CSDI technique.

AB We have developed a k-coefficient retrieval approach for Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) observations, using AIRS cloud-cleared radiances (ACCRs) as input. This new approach takes advantage of the available ACCR, reduces computational expense, offers an efficient and accurate cirrus cloud retrieval alternative for hyperspectral infrared (IR) observations, and is potentially applicable to the compilation of a long-term cirrus cloud climatology from hyperspectral IR observations. The retrieval combines a lookup-table method coupled to a residual minimization scheme using observed cloudy and cloud-cleared AIRS radiances as input. Six AIRS channels between 766 and 832 cm(-1) with minimal water vapor absorption/emission have been selected, and their spectral radiances have been demonstrated to be sensitive to both cirrus cloud optical depth (tau(c)) and ice crystal effective particle size (D-e). The capability of the k-coefficient approach is demonstrated by comparison with a more accurate retrieval program, which combines the delta-four stream (D4S) approximation with the currently operational Stand-alone AIRS Radiative Transfer Algorithm (SARTA). The distribution patterns and the range of retrieved cloud parameters from the k-coefficient approach are nearly identical to those from SARTA+D4S retrievals, with minor differences traced to uncertainties in parameterized cloudy radiances in the k-coefficient approach and in the ACCR. The k-coefficient approach has also been applied to four AIRS granules over North Central China, Mongolia, and Siberia containing a significant presence of cirrus clouds, and its results are quantitatively compared to simultaneous Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer/Aqua cirrus cloud retrievals. Finally, AIRS retrieved tc and De are consistent with the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) and CloudSat derived values for semi-transparent cirrus clouds, with more significant differences in thicker cirrus and multilayer clouds.

TI Assessment of Cloud Screening With Apparent Surface Reflectance in

AB Cloud detection/screening is a fundamental step in satellite data analysis. For the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) and its successor ICESat-2, clouds can significantly affect the accuracy of the surface elevation retrievals. This paper proposes a new method for cloud screening in support of the ICESat-2 mission with focus on the polar ice sheet regions. The method utilizes the apparent surface reflectance (ASR) at the backscattering direction as the cloud screening test. The basis of this method is that clouds produce a strong signal by significantly decreasing the ASR. We show that depending on the height and microphysics of the cloud, the ASR decreases 8%-17% for clouds with an optical depth of 0.1 and 57%-85% for clouds with an optical depth 1.0. Data from ICESat's 1064-nm channel is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the method. It is shown that cloud detectability is a function of surface reflectance variability. Generally, the smaller the surface reflectance variability, the more accurate is cloud detection. Unlike ICESat, which used a 1064-nm laser, ICESat-2 adopts a 532-nm photon counting system for its laser altimeter. With both modeling studies and results from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), we demonstrate that the ASR variability is much smaller for the 532-nm channel than that for the 1064-nm channel. Hence, the 532-nm channel is better suited for cloud screening than the 1064-nm channel.

TI Network Mobility in satellite networks: architecture and the protocol
SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
LA English

DE Network Mobility; satellite networks; architecture; basic protocol
ID IP
AB Mobility management is required to ensure the session continuity for multiple Internet Protocol-enabled devices onboard a satellite that hands off between ground stations. Network Mobility (NEMO) can efficiently manage the mobility of multiple Internet Protocol-enabled devices that are connected as a mobile network. However, existing mobility management solutions for satellite networks are unable to route through intermediate satellites links when a direct connection with a ground station is lost. We proposed an architecture of NEMO in satellite networks with routing through multiple satellite links using nesting, where a mobile network connects to another mobile network. However, NEMO Basic Support Protocol can be inefficient in satellite networks because of poor nesting formation leading to the routing loop, inefficient routes, and overloaded links. We extended NEMO Basic Support Protocol for the efficient use in satellite networks by augmenting it with a decision criteria for the nesting. Results verify that the extended protocol ensures loop-free and continuous connection despite the loss of direct connection to the ground and provides an insight on how to form the nested NEMO to avoid overloading. The architecture and the extended NEMO protocol can be used for the efficient and continuous transfer of data from satellite networks to the ground. Copyright (c) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB In this paper, we review the radiative transfer formalism of the matrix operator method, and present the analytic form for its differentiation with respect to aerosol optical thickness, microphysical parameters and surface parameters. This "linearization" is an exact method that allows for an accurate and speedy computation of the Jacobian matrix, which is key to most optimization-based retrieval methods. We define an aerosol in terms of its optical thickness, complex refractive index and lognormal size distribution. We consider a bimodal aerosol distribution, consisting of a fine and coarse mode, such that the two modes also differ in their respective complex refractive indices. Three types of surfaces have been considered, viz, a purely Lambertian surface, a modified Rahman-Pinty-Verstraete bidirectional reflecting surface, and a Fresnel-reflecting ocean surface. We verify our results by comparing our linearized Jacobians of normalized intensities calculated at four different wavelengths in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) and viewing angles ranging from -75 degrees through 0 degrees to 75 degrees with those computed by the method of finite differences. We demonstrate the guaranteed accuracy of the linearized approach by contrasting it with the finite difference method which can only be used as a rough estimate due to its sensitivity to step size, especially for derivatives with respect to aerosol microphysical parameters. We also report that the computational speed-up due to linearization improves with the number of parameters involved, parity being achieved with the finite difference method for just one parameter. Finally, we discuss the features of the illustrated Jacobians as a function of viewing angle and wavelengths. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Five years of CALIPSO lidar layer products are used to study transpacific transport of Asian dust. We focus on possible changes to dust intrinsic optical properties during the course of transport, with specific emphasis on changes to particulate depolarization ratio (PDR). PDR distributions for Asian dust transported across the Pacific are compared to previously reported PDR distributions for African dust transported across the Atlantic. African dust shows a slight decreasing trend in PDR during westward transport across the Atlantic during its most active long-range transport season in summer. Asian dust, on the other hand, shows some spatial variability in PDR over the Pacific during its most active long-range transport season in spring. The dust PDR is generally smaller over the ocean than over the Tarim basin and nearby downwind regions. PDR also shows a decreasing trend with latitude moving northward toward the Arctic, together with an increasing trend in the dust aerosol optical depth (AOD) when passing over polluted Asian regions. Possible explanations include (i) the mixing of dust externally or internally with other types of aerosol over the heavily developed industrial regions in East Asia, and (ii) the downstream mixing of dust plumes from different source regions (i.e., Tarim and Gobi). Dust from different source regions exhibits relatively large differences in PDR, with mean values of 0.34 +/- 0.07, 0.28 +/- 0.06, and 0.30 +/- 0.08, respectively, over the Tarim basin, Gobi Desert and Northwest African source regions. Different transport mechanisms are seen for African dust and Asian dust. Asian dust transport is originated by cold fronts and driven by westerly jets. In contrast, summer African transatlantic dust transport is driven by trade winds and is generally well confined in altitude in the free troposphere throughout the tropics and subtropics.

AB Water and carbon monoxide are two major compounds in the predominantly H-2 atmospheres of stars, brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets. Recent radiative transfer models suggest that there is an urgent need for data on the pressure broadening of molecular transitions by H-2 at high temperatures. We present a set of theoretical H-2 pressure broadening parameters for 228 H2O transitions in the range of 10-20,000 GHz and 30 CO transitions in the 115-3500 GHz region. These parameters are appropriate for temperatures between 200 and 3000 K. The random phase approximation is employed to derive the broadening parameters from recent state-of-the-art inelastic collisional rate coefficients. This approximation is compared both to full close-coupling calculations and to available experimental data. It is shown to be valid at temperatures above 200 K, as expected from theoretical considerations, with an accuracy of about 25%. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB This paper reports new assignments of rovibrational transitions of (CH4)-C-12 bands in the range 4600-4887 cm(-1) which is usually referred to as a part of the 2 mu m methane transparency window. Several experimental data sources for methane line positions and intensities were combined for this analysis. Three long path Fourier transform spectra newly recorded in Reims with 1603 m absorption path length and pressures of 1,7 and 34 hPa for samples of natural abundance CH4 provided new measurements of (CH4)-C-12 lines. Older spectra for (CH4)-C-13 (90% purity) from JPL with 73 m absorption path length were used to identify the corresponding lines. Most of the lines in this region belong to the Octad system of (CH4)-C-12. The new spectra allowed us to assign 1014 new line positions and to measure 1095 line intensities in the cold bands of the Octad. These new line positions and intensities were added to the global fit of Hamiltonian and dipole moment parameters of the Ground State, Dyad, Pentad and Octad systems. This leads to a noticeable improvement of the theoretical description in this methane transparency window and a better global prediction of the methane spectrum. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

AB A computationally efficient radiative transfer model (RTM) for calculating visible (VIS) through shortwave infrared (SWIR) reflectances is developed for use in satellite and airborne cloud property retrievals. The full radiative transfer equation (RTE) for combinations of cloud, aerosol, and molecular layers is solved approximately by using six independent RTEs that assume the plane-parallel approximation along with a single-scattering approximation for Rayleigh scattering. Each of the six RTEs can be solved analytically if the bidirectional reflectance/transmittance distribution functions (BRDF/BTDF) of the cloud/aerosol layers are known. The adding/doubling (AD) algorithm is employed to account for overlapped cloud/aerosol layers and non-Lambertian surfaces. Two approaches are used to mitigate the significant computational burden of the AD algorithm. First, the BRDF and BTDF of single cloud/aerosol layers are pre-computed using the discrete ordinates radiative transfer program (DISORT) implemented with 128 streams, and second, the required integral in the AD algorithm is numerically implemented on a twisted icosahedral mesh. A concise surface BRDF simulator associated with the MODIS land surface product (MCD43) is merged into a fast RTM to accurately account for non-isotropic surface reflectance. The resulting fast RTM is evaluated with respect to its computational accuracy and efficiency. The simulation bias between DISORT and the fast RTM is large (e.g., relative error > 5%) only when both the solar zenith angle (SZA) and the viewing zenith angle (VZA) are large (i.e., SZA > 45 degrees and VZA > 70 degrees). For general situations, i.e., cloud/aerosol layers above a non-Lambertian surface, the fast RTM calculation rate is faster than that of the 128-stream DISORT by approximately two orders of magnitude.

AB Three terms, "Waterman's T-matrix method", "extended boundary condition method (EBCM)", and "null field method", have been interchangeable in the literature to indicate a method based on surface integral equations to calculate the T-matrix. Unlike the previous method, the invariant imbedding method (IIM) calculates the T-matrix by the use of a volume integral equation. In addition, the standard separation of variables method (SOV) can be applied to compute the T-matrix of a sphere centered at the origin of the coordinate system and having a maximal radius such that the sphere remains inscribed within a nonspherical particle. This study explores the feasibility of a numerical combination of the IIM and the SOV, hereafter referred to as the IIM+SOV method, for computing the single-scattering properties of nonspherical dielectric particles, which are, in general, inhomogeneous. The IIM+SOV method is shown to be capable of solving light-scattering problems for large nonspherical particles where the standard EBCM fails to converge. The IIM+SOV method is flexible and applicable to inhomogeneous particles and aggregated nonspherical particles (overlapped circumscribed spheres) representing a challenge to the standard superposition T-matrix method. The IIM+SOV computational program, developed in this study, is validated against EBCM simulated spheroid and cylinder cases with excellent numerical agreement (up to four decimal places). In addition, solutions for cylinders with large aspect ratios, inhomogeneous particles, and two-particle systems are compared with results from discrete dipole approximation (DDA) computations, and comparisons with the improved geometric-optics method (IGOM) are found to be quite encouraging.

AB Four Cupriavidus metallidurans and eight Ralstonia pickettii isolates from the space industry and the International Space Station (ISS) were characterized in detail. Nine of the 12 isolates were able to form a biofilm on plastics and all were resistant to several antibiotics. R. pickettii isolates from the surface of the Mars Orbiter prior to flight were 2.5 times more resistant to UV-C-254nm radiation compared to the R. pickettii type strain. All isolates showed moderate to high tolerance against at least seven different metal ions. They were tolerant to medium to high silver concentrations (0.5-4 mu M), which are higher than the ionic silver disinfectant concentrations measured regularly in the drinking water aboard the ISS. Furthermore, all isolates survived a 23-month exposure to 2 mu M AgNO3 in drinking water. These resistance properties are putatively encoded by their endogenous megaplasmids. This study demonstrated that extreme resistance is not required to withstand the disinfection and sterilization procedures implemented in the ISS and space industry. All isolates acquired moderate to high tolerance against several stressors and can grow in oligotrophic conditions, enabling them to persist in these environments.

AB During the summer of 2010, NASA's Office of Chief Technologist assembled 15 civil service teams to support the creation of a NASA integrated technology roadmap. The Aero-Space Technology Area Roadmap is an integrated set of technology area roadmaps recommending the overall technology investment strategy and prioritization for NASA's technology programs. The integrated set of roadmaps will provide technology paths needed to meet NASA's strategic goals. The roadmaps have been reviewed by senior NASA management and the National Research Council.
With the exception of electric propulsion systems used for commercial communications satellite station-keeping and a handful of deep space science missions, almost all of the rocket engines in use today are chemical rockets; that is, they obtain the energy needed to generate thrust by combining reactive chemicals to create a hot gas that is expanded to produce thrust. A significant limitation of chemical propulsion is that it has a relatively low specific impulse. Numerous concepts for advanced propulsion technologies with significantly higher values of specific impulse have been developed over the past 50 years.
Advanced in-space propulsion technologies will enable much more effective exploration of our solar system, near and far, and will permit mission designers to plan missions to "fly anytime, anywhere, and complete a host of science objectives at the destinations" with greater reliability and safety. With a wide range of possible missions and candidate propulsion technologies with very diverse characteristics, the question of which technologies are 'best' for future missions is a difficult one. A portfolio of technologies to allow optimum propulsion solutions for a diverse set of missions and destinations are described in the roadmap and herein. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Fusion-based nuclear propulsion has the potential to enable fast interplanetary transportation. Due to the great distances between the planets of our solar system and the harmful radiation environment of interplanetary space, high specific impulse (I-sp) propulsion in vehicles with high payload mass fractions must be developed to provide practical and safe vehicles for human space flight missions.
The Z-Pinch dense plasma focus method is a Magneto-Inertial Fusion (MIF) approach that may potentially lead to a small, low cost fusion reactor/engine assembly [1]. Recent advancements in experimental and theoretical understanding of this concept suggest favorable scaling of fusion power output yield [2]. The magnetic field resulting from the large current compresses the plasma to fusion conditions, and this process can be pulsed over short timescales (10(-6) s). This type of plasma formation is widely used in the field of Nuclear Weapons Effects testing in the defense industry, as well as in fusion energy research. A Z-Pinch propulsion concept was designed for a vehicle based on a previous fusion vehicle study called "Human Outer Planet Exploration" (HOPE), which used Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) [3] propulsion. The reference mission is the transport of crew and cargo to Mars and back, with a reusable vehicle.
The analysis of the Z-Pinch MIF propulsion system concludes that a 40-fold increase of I-sp over chemical propulsion is predicted. An I-sp of 19,436 s and thrust of 3812 N s/pulse, along with nearly doubling the predicted payload mass fraction, warrants further development of enabling technologies. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

AB We report on the multiwavelength observations of the bright, long gamma-ray burst GRB 110731A, by the Fermi and Swift observatories, and by the MOA and GROND optical telescopes. The analysis of the prompt phase reveals that GRB 110731A shares many features with bright Large Area Telescope bursts observed by Fermi during the first three years on-orbit: a light curve with short time variability across the whole energy range during the prompt phase, delayed onset of the emission above 100 MeV, extra power-law component and temporally extended high-energy emission. In addition, this is the first GRB for which simultaneous GeV, X-ray, and optical data are available over multiple epochs beginning just after the trigger time and extending for more than 800 s, allowing temporal and spectral analysis in different epochs that favor emission from the forward shock in a wind-type medium. The observed temporally extended GeV emission is most likely part of the high-energy end of the afterglow emission. Both the single-zone pair transparency constraint for the prompt signal and the spectral and temporal analysis of the forward-shock afterglow emission independently lead to an estimate of the bulk Lorentz factor of the jet Gamma similar to 500-550.

AB We usemeasurements from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster survey in combination with X-ray measurements to constrain cosmological parameters. We present a statistical method that fits for the scaling relations of the SZ and X-ray cluster observables with mass while jointly fitting for cosmology. The method is generalizable to multiple cluster observables, and self-consistently accounts for the effects of the cluster selection and uncertainties in cluster mass calibration on the derived cosmological constraints. We apply this method to a data set consisting of an SZ-selected catalog of 18 galaxy clusters at z > 0.3 from the first 178 deg(2) of the 2500 deg(2) SPT-SZ survey, with 14 clusters having X-ray observations from either Chandra or XMM-Newton. Assuming a spatially flat Lambda CDM cosmological model, we find the SPT cluster sample constrains sigma(8)(Omega(m)/0.25)(0.30) = 0.785 +/- 0.037. In combination with measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum from the SPT and the seven-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data, the SPT cluster sample constrains sigma(8) = 0.795 +/- 0.016 and Omega(m) = 0.255 +/- 0.016, a factor of 1.5 improvement on each parameter over the CMB data alone. We consider several extensions beyond the Lambda CDM model by including the following as free parameters: the dark energy equation of state (w), the sum of the neutrino masses (Sigma m(nu)), the effective number of relativistic species (N-eff), and a primordial non-Gaussianity (f(NL)). We find that adding the SPT cluster data significantly improves the constraints on w and Sigma m(nu) beyond those found when using measurements of the CMB, supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, and the Hubble constant. Considering each extension independently, we best constrain w = -0.973 +/- 0.063 and the sum of neutrino masses Sigma m(nu) < 0.28 eV at 95% confidence, a factor of 1.25 and 1.4 improvement, respectively, over the constraints without clusters. Assuming a Lambda CDM model with a free N-eff and Sigma m(nu), we measure N-eff = 3.91 +/- 0.42 and constrain Sigma m(nu) < 0.63 eV at 95% confidence. We also use the SPT cluster sample to constrain f(NL) = -220 +/- 317, consistent with zero primordial non-Gaussianity. Finally, we discuss the current systematic limitations due to the cluster mass calibration, and future improvements for the recently completed 2500 deg(2) SPT-SZ survey. The survey has detected similar to 500 clusters with a median redshift of similar to 0.5 and a median mass of similar to 2.3 x 10(14) M-circle dot h(-1) and, when combined with an improved cluster mass calibration and existing external cosmological data sets will significantly improve constraints on w.

AB Isolated compact groups (CGs) of galaxies present a range of dynamical states, group velocity dispersions, and galaxy morphologies with which to study galaxy evolution, particularly the properties of gas both within the galaxies and in the intragroup medium. As part of a large, multiwavelength examination of CGs, we present an archival study of diffuse X-ray emission in a subset of nine Hickson compact groups (HCGs) observed with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. We find that seven of the groups in our sample exhibit detectable diffuse emission. However, unlike large-scale emission in galaxy clusters, the diffuse features in the majority of the detected groups are linked to the individual galaxies, in the form of both plumes and halos likely as a result of vigourous star formation or activity in the galaxy nucleus, as well as in emission from tidal features. Unlike previous studies from earlier X-ray missions, HCGs 31, 42, 59, and 92 are found to be consistent with the L-X-T relationship from clusters within the errors, while HCGs 16 and 31 are consistent with the cluster L-X-sigma relation, though this is likely coincidental given that the hot gas in these two systems is largely due to star formation. We find that L-X increases with decreasing group Hi to dynamical-mass ratio with tentative evidence for a dependence in X-ray luminosity on Hi morphology whereby systems with intragroup Hi indicative of strong interactions are considerably more X-ray luminous than passively evolving groups. We also find a gap in the L-X of groups as a function of the total group specific star formation rate. Our findings suggest that the hot gas in these groups is not in hydrostatic equilibrium and these systems are not low-mass analogs of rich groups or clusters, with the possible exception of HCG 62.

TI THE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ENVIRONMENT AROUND M DWARF EXOPLANET HOST

AB The spectral and temporal behavior of exoplanet host stars is a critical input to models of the chemistry and evolution of planetary atmospheres. Ultraviolet photons influence the atmospheric temperature profiles and production of potential biomarkers on Earth-like planets around these stars. At present, little observational or theoretical basis exists for understanding the ultraviolet spectra of M dwarfs, despite their critical importance to predicting and interpreting the spectra of potentially habitable planets as they are obtained in the coming decades. Using observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, we present a study of the UV radiation fields around nearby M dwarf planet hosts that covers both far-UV (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) wavelengths. The combined FUV+NUV spectra are publicly available in machine-readable format. We find that all six exoplanet host stars in our sample (GJ 581, GJ 876, GJ 436, GJ 832, GJ 667C, and GJ 1214) exhibit some level of chromospheric and transition region UV emission. No "UV-quiet" M dwarfs are observed. The bright stellar Ly alpha emission lines are reconstructed, and we find that the Ly alpha line fluxes comprise similar to 37%-75% of the total 1150-3100 angstrom flux from most M dwarfs; greater than or similar to 10(3) times the solar value. We develop an empirical scaling relation between Ly alpha and Mgii emission, to be used when interstellar Hi attenuation precludes the direct observation of Ly alpha. The intrinsic unreddened flux ratio is F(Ly alpha)/F(Mg II) = 10 +/- 3. The F(FUV)/F(NUV) flux ratio, a driver for abiotic production of the suggested biomarkers O-2 and O-3, is shown to be similar to 0.5-3 for all M dwarfs in our sample, >10(3) times the solar ratio. For the four stars with moderate signal-to-noise Cosmic Origins Spectrograph time-resolved spectra, we find UV emission line variability with amplitudes of 50%-500% on 10(2)-10(3) s timescales. This effect should be taken into account in future UV transiting planet studies, including searches for O-3 on Earth-like planets. Finally, we observe relatively bright H-2 fluorescent emission from four of the M dwarf exoplanetary systems (GJ 581, GJ 876, GJ 436, and GJ 832). Additional modeling work is needed to differentiate between a stellar photospheric or possible exoplanetary origin for the hot (T(H-2) approximate to 2000-4000 K) molecular gas observed in these objects.

AB The Galactic bulge source MOA-2010-BLG-523S exhibited short-term deviations from a standard microlensing light curve near the peak of an A(max) similar to 265 high-magnification microlensing event. The deviations originally seemed consistent with expectations for a planetary companion to the principal lens. We combine long-term photometric monitoring with a previously published high-resolution spectrum taken near peak to demonstrate that this is an RS CVn variable, so that planetary microlensing is not required to explain the light-curve deviations. This is the first spectroscopically confirmed RS CVn star discovered in the Galactic bulge.

AB We report the results of an X-ray proper-motion measurement for the NW rim of SN 1006, carried out by comparing Chandra observations from 2001 to 2012. The NW limb has predominantly thermal X-ray emission, and it is the only location in SN 1006 with significant optical emission: a thin, Balmer-dominated filament. For most of the NW rim, the proper motion is approximate to 0.'' 30 yr(-1), essentially the same as has been measured from the H alpha filament. Isolated regions of the NW limb are dominated by nonthermal emission, and here the proper motion is much higher, 0.'' 49 yr(-1), close to the value measured in X-rays along the much brighter NE limb, where the X-rays are overwhelmingly nonthermal. At the 2.2 kpc distance to SN 1006, the proper motions imply shock velocities of similar to 3000 km s(-1) and similar to 5000 km s(-1) in the thermal and nonthermal regions, respectively. A lower velocity behind the H alpha filament is consistent with the picture that SN 1006 is encountering denser gas in the NW, as is also suggested by its overall morphology. In the thermally dominated portion of the X-ray shell, we also see an offset in the radial profiles at different energies; the 0.5-0.6 keV peak dominated by O VII is closer to the shock front than that of the 0.8-3 keV emission-due to the longer times for heavier elements to reach ionization states where they produce strong X-ray emission.

TI A THREE-DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL SOLUTION FOR THE SHAPE OF A ROTATIONALLY
DISTORTED POLYTROPE OF INDEX UNITY
SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL
LA English
DT Article
DE gravitation; planets and satellites: individual (Jupiter); planets and
satellites: interiors; stars: individual (alpha Eridani)
ID DEEP ZONAL FLOWS; JUPITER; SATURN; HYDROGEN
AB We present a new three-dimensional numerical method for calculating the non-spherical shape and internal structure of a model of a rapidly rotating gaseous body with a polytropic index of unity. The calculation is based on a finite-element method and accounts for the full effects of rotation. After validating the numerical approach against the asymptotic solution of Chandrasekhar that is valid only for a slowly rotating gaseous body, we apply it to models of Jupiter and a rapidly rotating, highly flattened star (alpha Eridani). In the case of Jupiter, the two-dimensional distributions of density and pressure are determined via a hybrid inverse approach by adjusting an a priori unknown coefficient in the equation of state until the model shape matches the observed shape of Jupiter. After obtaining the two-dimensional distribution of density, we then compute the zonal gravity coefficients and the total mass from the non-spherical model that takes full account of rotation-induced shape change. Our non-spherical model with a polytropic index of unity is able to produce the known mass of Jupiter with about 4% accuracy and the zonal gravitational coefficient J(2) of Jupiter with better than 2% accuracy, a reasonable result considering that there is only one parameter in the model. For a Eridani, we calculate its rotationally distorted shape and internal structure based on the observationally deduced rotation rate and size of the star by using a similar hybrid inverse approach. Our model of the star closely approximates the observed flattening.

TI ON THE EFFECTS OF OPTICALLY THICK GAS (DISKS) AROUND MASSIVE STARS
SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL
LA English
DT Article
DE circumstellar matter; dust, extinction; ISM: molecules; methods:
numerical; stars: formation; stars: winds, outflows
ID ACCRETION; DUST; OPACITIES; EVOLUTION
AB Numerical simulations have shown that the often cited radiation pressure barrier to accretion onto massive stars can be circumvented, when the radiation field is highly anisotropic in the presence of a circumstellar accretion disk with high optical depth. Here, these studies of the so-called flashlight effect are expanded by including the opacity of the innermost dust-free but potentially optically thick gas regions around forming massive stars. In addition to frequency-dependent opacities for the dust grains, we use temperature-and density-dependent Planck and Rosseland mean opacities for the gas. The simulations show that the innermost dust-free parts of the accretion disks are optically thick to the stellar radiation over a substantial fraction of the solid angle above and below the disk's midplane. The temperature in the shielded disk region decreases faster with radius than in a comparison simulation with a lower constant gas opacity, and the dust sublimation front is shifted to smaller radii. The shielding by the dust-free gas in the inner disk thus contributes to an enhanced flashlight effect, which ultimately results in a smaller opening angle of the radiation pressure driven outflow and in a much longer timescale of sustained feeding of the circumstellar disk by the molecular cloud core. We conclude that it is necessary to properly account for the opacity of the inner dust-free disk regions around forming massive stars in order to correctly assess the effectiveness of the flashlight effect, the opening angle of radiation pressure driven outflows, and the lifetime and morphological evolution of the accretion disk.

AB We present YJHK photometry, or a subset, for the six Y dwarfs discovered in Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data by Cushing et al. The data were obtained using the Near-Infrared Imager on the Gemini North telescope; YJHK were obtained for WISEP J041022.71+150248.5, WISEP J173835.52+273258.9, and WISEPC J205628.90+145953.3; YJH for WISEPC J140518.40+553421.5 and WISEP J154151.65225025.2; and YJK for WISEP J182831.08+265037.8. We also present a far-red spectrum obtained using GMOS-North for WISEPC J205628.90+145953.3. We compare the data to Morley et al. models, which include cloud decks of sulfide and chloride condensates. We find that the models with these previously neglected clouds can reproduce the energy distributions of T9 to Y0 dwarfs quite well, other than near 5 mu m where the models are too bright. This is thought to be because the models do not include departures from chemical equilibrium caused by vertical mixing, which would enhance the abundance of CO and CO2, decreasing the flux at 5 mu m. Vertical mixing also decreases the abundance of NH3, which would otherwise have strong absorption features at 1.03 mu m and 1.52 mu m that are not seen in the Y0 WISEPC J205628.90+145953.3. We find that the five Y0 to Y0.5 dwarfs have 300 less than or similar to T-eff K less than or similar to 450, 4.0 less than or similar to log g less than or similar to 4.5, and f(sed) approximate to 3. These temperatures and gravities imply a mass range of 5-15 M-Jupiter and ages around 5 Gyr. We suggest that WISEP J182831.08+265037.8 is a binary system, as this better explains its luminosity and color. We find that the data can be made consistent with observed trends, and generally consistent with the models, if the system is composed of a T-eff approximate to 325 K and log g less than or similar to 4.5 primary, and a T-eff approximate to 300 K and log g greater than or similar to 4.0 secondary, corresponding to masses of 10 and 7 M-Jupiter and an age around 2 Gyr. If our deconvolution is correct, then the T-eff approximate to 300 K cloud-free model fluxes at K and W 2 are too faint by 0.5-1.0 mag. We will address this discrepancy in our next generation of models, which will incorporate water clouds and mixing.

AB We investigate the role of kinetic instabilities driven by a proton anisotropy on the onset of magnetic reconnection by means of two-dimensional hybrid simulations. The collisionless tearing of a current sheet is studied in the presence of a proton temperature anisotropy in the surrounding plasma. Our results confirm that anisotropic protons within the current sheet region can significantly enhance/stabilize the tearing instability of the current. Moreover, fluctuations associated with linear instabilities excited by large proton temperature anisotropies can significantly influence the stability of the plasma and perturb the current sheets, triggering the tearing instability. We find that such a complex coupling leads to a faster tearing evolution in the T-perpendicular to > T-parallel to regime when an ion-cyclotron instability is generated by the anisotropic proton distribution functions. On the contrary, in the presence of the opposite anisotropy, fire-hose fluctuations excited by the unstable background protons with T-parallel to < T-perpendicular to are not able to efficiently destabilize current sheets, which remain stable for a long time after fire-hose saturation. We discuss possible influences of this novel coupling on the solar wind and heliospheric plasma dynamics.

TI AN INTERFEROMETRIC STUDY OF THE FOMALHAUT INNER DEBRIS DISK. II. KECK
NULLER MID-INFRARED OBSERVATIONS

AB We report on high-contrast mid-infrared observations of Fomalhaut obtained with the Keck Interferometer Nuller (KIN) showing a small resolved excess over the level expected from the stellar photosphere. The measured null excess has a mean value of 0.35% +/- 0.10% between 8 and 11 mu m and increases from 8 to 13 mu m. Given the small field of view of the instrument, the source of this marginal excess must be contained within 2 AU of Fomalhaut. This result is reminiscent of previous VLTI K-band (similar or equal to 2 mu m) observations, which implied the presence of a similar to 0.88% excess, and argued that thermal emission from hot dusty grains located within 6 AU from Fomalhaut was the most plausible explanation. Using a parametric two-dimensional radiative transfer code and a Bayesian analysis, we examine different dust disk structures to reproduce both the near- and mid-infrared data simultaneously. While not a definitive explanation of the hot excess of Fomalhaut, our model suggests that the most likely inner few AU disk geometry consists of a two-component structure, with two different and spatially distinct grain populations. The 2-11 mu m data are consistent with an inner hot ring of very small (similar or equal to 10-300 nm) carbon-rich grains concentrating around 0.1 AU. The second dust population-inferred from the KIN data at longer mid-infrared wavelengths-consists of larger grains (size of a few microns to a few tens of microns) located further out in a colder region where regular astronomical silicates could survive, with an inner edge around 0.4 AU-1 AU. From a dynamical point of view, the presence of the inner concentration of submicron-sized grains is surprising, as such grains should be expelled from the inner planetary system by radiation pressure within only a few years. This could either point to some inordinate replenishment rates (e.g., many grazing comets coming from an outer reservoir) or to the existence of some braking mechanism preventing the grains from moving out.

AB We present a catalog of galaxy cluster candidates, selected through their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect signature in the first 720 deg(2) of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) survey. This area was mapped with the SPT in the 2008 and 2009 austral winters to a depth of similar to 18 mu K-CMB-arcmin at 150 GHz; 550 deg(2) of it was also mapped to similar to 44 mu K-CMB-arcmin at 95 GHz. Based on optical imaging of all 224 candidates and near-infrared imaging of the majority of candidates, we have found optical and/or infrared counterparts for 158, which we then classify as confirmed galaxy clusters. Of these 158 clusters, 135 were first identified as clusters in SPT data, including 117 new discoveries reported in this work. This catalog triples the number of confirmed galaxy clusters discovered through the SZ effect. We report photometrically derived (and in some cases spectroscopic) redshifts for confirmed clusters and redshift lower limits for the remaining candidates. The catalog extends to high redshift with a median redshift of z = 0.55 and maximum confirmed redshift of z = 1.37. Forty-five of the clusters have counterparts in the ROSAT bright or faint source catalogs from which we estimate X-ray fluxes. Based on simulations, we expect the catalog to be nearly 100% complete above M-500 approximate to 5 x 10(14) M-circle dot h(70)(-1) at z greater than or similar to 0.6. There are 121 candidates detected at signal-to-noise ratio greater than five, at which the catalog purity is measured to be 95%. From this high-purity subsample, we exclude the z < 0.3 clusters and use the remaining 100 candidates to improve cosmological constraints following the method presented by Benson et al. Adding the cluster data to CMB + BAO + H-0 data leads to a preference for non-zero neutrino masses while only slightly reducing the upper limit on the sum of neutrino masses to Sigma m(nu) < 0.38 eV (95% CL). For a spatially flat wCDM cosmological model, the addition of this catalog to the CMB + BAO + H-0 + SNe results yields sigma(8) = 0.807 +/- 0.027 and w = -1.010 +/- 0.058, improving the constraints on these parameters by a factor of 1.4 and 1.3, respectively. The larger cluster catalog presented in this work leads to slight improvements in cosmological constraints from those presented by Benson et al. These cosmological constraints are currently limited by uncertainty in the cluster mass calibration, not the size or quality of the cluster catalog. A multi-wavelength observation program to improve the cluster mass calibration will make it possible to realize the full potential of the final 2500 deg(2) SPT cluster catalog to constrain cosmology.

AB We calculate the absolute intensity and anisotropies of the Ly alpha radiation field present during the epoch of reionization. We consider emission from both galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM) and take into account the main contributions to the production of Ly alpha photons: recombinations, collisions, continuum emission from galaxies, and scattering of Lyn photons in the IGM. We find that the emission from individual galaxies dominates over the IGM with a total Ly alpha intensity (times frequency) of about (1.43-3.57) x 10(-8) erg s(-1) cm(-2) sr(-1) at a redshift of 7. This intensity level is low, so it is unlikely that the Ly alpha background during reionization can be established by an experiment aiming at an absolute background light measurement. Instead, we consider Ly alpha intensity mapping with the aim of measuring the anisotropy power spectrum that has rms fluctuations at the level of 1 x 10(-16) [erg s(-1) cm(-2) sr(-1)](2) at a few Mpc scales. These anisotropies could be measured with a spectrometer at near-IR wavelengths from 0.9 to 1.4 mu m with fields in the order of 0.5 to 1 deg(2). We recommend that existing ground-based programs using narrowband filters also pursue intensity fluctuations to study statistics on the spatial distribution of faint Ly alpha emitters. We also discuss the cross-correlation signal with 21 cm experiments that probe Hi in the IGM during reionization. A dedicated sub-orbital or space-based Ly alpha intensity mapping experiment could provide a viable complimentary approach to probe reionization, when compared to 21 cm experiments, and is likely within experimental reach.

AB The galaxy cluster SPT-CL J0205-5829 currently has the highest spectroscopically confirmed redshift, z = 1.322, in the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey. XMM-Newton observations measure a core-excluded temperature of T-X = 8.7(-0.8)(+1.0) keV producing a mass estimate that is consistent with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich-derived mass. The combined SZ and X-ray mass estimate of M-500 = (4.8+/-0.8) x 10(14)h(70)(-1) M-circle dot makes it the most massive known SZ-selected galaxy cluster at z > 1.2 and the second most massive at z > 1. Using optical and infrared observations, we find that the brightest galaxies in SPT-CL J0205-5829 are already well evolved by the time the universe was < 5 Gyr old, with stellar population ages greater than or similar to 3 Gyr, and low rates of star formation (< 0.5 M-circle dot yr(-1)). We find that, despite the high redshift and mass, the existence of SPT-CL J0205-5829 is not surprising given a flat Lambda CDM cosmology with Gaussian initial perturbations. The a priori chance of finding a cluster of similar rarity (or rarer) in a survey the size of the 2500 deg(2) SPT-SZ survey is 69%.

AB Vega and Fomalhaut are similar in terms of mass, ages, and global debris disk properties; therefore, they are often referred to as "debris disk twins." We present Spitzer 10-35 mu m spectroscopic data centered at both stars and identify warm, unresolved excess emission in the close vicinity of Vega for the first time. The properties of the warm excess in Vega are further characterized with ancillary photometry in the mid-infrared and resolved images in the far-infrared and submillimeter wavelengths. The Vega warm excess shares many similar properties with the one found around Fomalhaut. The emission shortward of similar to 30 mu m from both warm components is well described as a blackbody emission of similar to 170 K. Interestingly, two other systems, epsilon Eri and HR 8799, also show such an unresolved warm dust using the same approach. These warm components may be analogous to the solar system's zodiacal dust cloud, but of far greater mass (fractional luminosity of similar to 10(-5) to 10(-6) compared to 10(-8) to 10(-7)). The dust temperature and tentative detections in the submillimeter suggest that the warm excess arises from dust associated with a planetesimal ring located near the water-frost line and presumably created by processes occurring at similar locations in other debris systems as well. We also review the properties of the 2 mu m hot excess around Vega and Fomalhaut, showing that the dust responsible for the hot excess is not spatially associated with the dust we detected in the warm belt. We suggest it may arise from hot nano grains trapped in the magnetic field of the star. Finally, the separation between the warm and cold belt is rather large with an orbital ratio greater than or similar to 10 in all four systems. In light of the current upper limits on the masses of planetary objects and the large gap, we discuss the possible implications for their underlying planetary architecture and suggest that multiple, low-mass planets likely reside between the two belts in Vega and Fomalhaut.

TI X-RAY PROPERTIES OF THE NORTHERN GALACTIC CAP SOURCES IN THE 58 MONTH

AB We present a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of the non-beamed, hard X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the northern Galactic cap of the 58 month Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift/BAT) catalog, consisting of 100 AGNs with b > 50 degrees. This sky area has excellent potential for further dedicated study due to a wide range of multi-wavelength data that are already available, and we propose it as a low-redshift analog to the "deep field" observations of AGNs at higher redshifts (e.g., CDFN/S, COSMOS, Lockman Hole). We present distributions of luminosity, absorbing column density, and other key quantities for the catalog. We use a consistent approach to fit new and archival X-ray data gathered from XMM-Newton, Swift/XRT, ASCA, and Swift/BAT. We probe to deeper redshifts than the 9 month BAT catalog (< z > = 0.043 compared to < z > = 0.03 for the 9 month catalog), and uncover a broader absorbing column density distribution. The fraction of obscured (log N-H >= 22) objects in the sample is similar to 60%, and 43%-56% of the sample exhibits "complex" 0.4-10 keV spectra. We present the properties of iron lines, soft excesses, and ionized absorbers for the subset of objects with sufficient signal-to-noise ratio. We reinforce previous determinations of the X-ray Baldwin (Iwasawa-Taniguchi) effect for iron K alpha lines. We also identify two distinct populations of sources; one in which a soft excess is well-detected and another where the soft excess is undetected, suggesting that the process responsible for producing the soft excess is not at work in all AGNs. The fraction of Compton-thick sources (log N-H > 24.15) in our sample is similar to 9%. We find that "hidden/buried AGNs" (which may have a geometrically thick torus or emaciated scattering regions) constitute similar to 14% of our sample, including seven objects previously not identified as hidden. Compton reflection is found to be important in a large fraction of our sample using joint XMM-Newton+BAT fits (< R > = 2.7 +/- 0.75), indicating light bending or extremely complex absorption. High-energy cutoffs generally lie outside the BAT band (E > 200 keV) but are seen in some sources. We present the average 1-10 keV spectrum for the sample, which reproduces the 1-10 keV X-ray background slope as found for the brighter 9 month BAT AGN sample. The 2-10 keV log(N)-log(S) plot implies completeness down to fluxes a factor of similar to 4 fainter than seen in the 9 month catalog. We emphasize the utility of this northern Galactic cap sample for a wide variety of future studies on AGNs.

AB Filament channels coincide with large-scale polarity inversion lines of the photospheric magnetic field, where flux cancellation continually takes place. High-cadence Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) images recorded in He II 30.4 nm and Fe IX 17.1 nm during 2010 August 22 reveal numerous transient brightenings occurring along the edge of a filament channel within a decaying active region, where SDO line-of-sight magnetograms show strong opposite-polarity flux in close contact. The brightenings are elongated along the direction of the filament channel, with linear extents of several arcseconds, and typically last a few minutes; they sometimes have the form of multiple two-sided ejections with speeds on the order of 100 km s(-1). Remarkably, some of the brightenings rapidly develop into larger scale events, forming sheetlike structures that are eventually torn apart by the diverging flows in the filament channel and ejected in opposite directions. We interpret the brightenings as resulting from reconnections among filament-channel field lines having one footpoint located in the region of canceling flux. In some cases, the flow patterns that develop in the channel may bring successive horizontal loops together and cause a cascade to larger scales.

AB Environmental indicators play an important role in assessing the state of the environment and understanding the trend of environmental changes. Iron oxide nanostructures are widespread in multiple ecosystems, and are therefore suitable for providing environmental indicators with measurable physical or chemical properties that are sensitive to the environmental conditions. It has been found that the morphologies of natural hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) nanocrystals have large variations depending on thermodynamic and chemical conditions of their formation environments. To assess the applicability of nanomorphology as an environmental indicator, we construct a morphology map of hematite nanocrystals in hydrous environments, characterized with different temperatures, humidity and supersaturation of oxygen. Our model indicates that the fractional surface areas of morphologically significant facets change with humidity and temperature, and can be used to track the variation of these environmental conditions.

AB The Rich-burn/Quick-mix/Lean-burn (RQL) combustor concept has been proposed to minimize the formation of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in gas turbine systems. The success of this low-NOx combustor strategy is dependent upon the links between the formation of NOx, inlet air preheat temperature, and the mixing of the jet air and fuel-rich streams. Chemical equilibrium and kinetics modeling calculations and experiments were performed to further understand NOx emissions in an RQL combustor. The results indicate that as the temperature at the inlet to the mixing zone increases (due to preheating and/or operating conditions) the fuel-rich zone equivalence ratio must be increased to achieve minimum NOx formation in the primary zone of the combustor. The chemical kinetics model illustrates that there is sufficient residence time to produce NOx at concentrations that agree well with the NOx measurements. Air preheat was found to have very little effect on mixing, but preheating the air did increase NOx emissions significantly. By understanding the mechanisms governing NOx formation and the temperature dependence of key reactions in the RQL combustor, a strategy can be devised to further reduce NOx emissions using the RQL concept.

AB The brain operates through complex interactions in the flow of information and signal processing within neural networks. The wiring of such networks, being neuronal or glial, can physically and/or functionally go rogue in various pathological states. Neuromodulation, as a multidisciplinary venture, attempts to correct such faulty nets. In this review, selected approaches and challenges in neuromodulation are discussed. The use of water-dispersible carbon nanotubes has been proven effective in the modulation of neurite outgrowth in culture and in aiding regeneration after spinal cord injury in vivo. Studying neural circuits using computational biology and analytical engineering approaches brings to light geometrical mapping of dynamics within neural networks, much needed information for stimulation interventions in medical practice. Indeed, sophisticated desynchronization approaches used for brain stimulation have been successful in coaxing misfiring neuronal circuits to resume productive firing patterns in various human disorders. Devices have been developed for the real-time measurement of various neurotransmitters as well as electrical activity in the human brain during electrical deep brain stimulation. Such devices can establish the dynamics of electrochemical changes in the brain during stimulation. With increasing application of nanomaterials in devices for electrical and chemical recording and stimulating in the brain, the era of cellular, and even intracellular, precision neuromodulation will soon be upon us.

AB We analyze the multiwavelength observations of an M2.9/1N flare that occurred in the active region (AR) NOAA 11112 in the vicinity of a huge filament system on 16 October 2010. SDO/HMI magnetograms reveal the emergence of a bipole (within the existing AR) 50 hours prior to the flare event. During the emergence, both the positive and negative sunspots in the bipole show translational as well as rotational motion. The positive-polarity sunspot shows significant motion/rotation in the south-westward/clockwise direction, and we see continuously pushing/sliding of the surrounding opposite-polarity field region. On the other hand, the negative-polarity sunspot moves/rotates in the westward/anticlockwise direction. The positive-polarity sunspot rotates approximate to 70 degrees within 30 hours, whereas the one with negative polarity rotates approximate to 20 degrees within 10 hours. SDO/AIA 94 angstrom EUV images show the emergence of a flux tube in the corona, consistent with the emergence of the bipole in HMI. The footpoints of the flux tube were anchored in the emerging bipole. The initial brightening starts at one of the footpoints (western) of the emerging loop system, where the positive-polarity sunspot pushes/slides towards a nearby negative-polarity field region. A high speed plasmoid ejection (speed approximate to 1197 km s(-1)) was observed during the impulsive phase of the flare, which suggests magnetic reconnection of the emerging positive-polarity sunspot with the surrounding opposite-polarity field region. The entire AR shows positive-helicity injection before the flare event. Moreover, the newly emerging bipole reveals the signature of a negative (left-handed) helicity. These observations provide unique evidence of the emergence of twisted flux tubes from below the photosphere to coronal heights, triggering a flare mainly due to the interaction between the emerging positive-polarity sunspot and a nearby negative-polarity sunspot by the shearing motion of the emerging positive sunspot towards the negative one. Our observations also strongly support the idea that the rotation can most likely be attributed to the emergence of twisted magnetic fields, as proposed by recent models.

AB We analyze multiwavelength observations of an M2.9/1N flare that occurred in AR NOAA 11112 on 16 October 2010. AIA 211 angstrom EUV images reveal the presence of a faster coronal wave (decelerating from approximate to 1390 to approximate to 830 km s(-1)) propagating ahead of a slower wave (decelerating from approximate to 416 to approximate to 166 km s(-1)) towards the western limb. The dynamic radio spectrum from Sagamore Hill radio telescope shows the presence of a metric type II radio burst, which reveals the presence of a coronal shock wave (speed approximate to 800 km s(-1)). The speed of the faster coronal wave, derived from AIA 211 angstrom images, is found to be comparable to the coronal shock speed. AIA 171 angstrom high-cadence observations showed that a coronal loop, which was located at a distance of approximate to 0.32 R-circle dot to the west of the flaring region, started to oscillate by the end of the impulsive phase of the flare. The results indicate that the faster coronal wave may be the first driver of the transversal oscillations of coronal loop. As the slower wave passed through the coronal loop, the oscillations became even stronger. There was a plasmoid eruption observed in EUV and a white-light CME was recorded, having velocity of approximate to 340-350 km s(-1). STEREO 195 angstrom images show an EIT wave, propagating in the same direction as the lower-speed coronal wave observed in AIA, but decelerating from approximate to 320 to approximate to 254 km s(-1). These observations reveal the co-existence of both waves (i.e. coronal Moreton and EIT waves), and the type II radio burst seems to be associated with the coronal Moreton wave.

AB Novel copoly(imide butadiene)s and copoly(imide butadiene acrylonitrile)s were synthesized from amine-terminated butadiene oligomers, amine-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile oligomers, and aromatic dianhydrides and diamines. The copoly(amide acid)s were synthesized in a mixture of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and toluene and were subsequently cast into thin films. The films were cyclodehydrated under a nitrogen atmosphere with a final cure at 250 degrees C to minimize thermal degradation of the aliphatic components. Free-standing films of the copolymers exhibited reduced optical transparency, mechanical properties, water contact angle values, and sliding coefficients of friction when compared with homopolyimide films. These results indicated both bulk and surface phase segregation. Surface phase segregation was observed using atomic force microscopic imaging and was related to insufficient elastomer wetting of the casting surface. The detailed results of this study are discussed herein.

TI Combining Heavy Ion Radiation and Artificial MicroRNAs to Target the
Homologous Recombination Repair Gene Efficiently Kills Human Tumor Cells
SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RADIATION ONCOLOGY BIOLOGY PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article

AB Purpose: Previously, we demonstrated that heavy ions kill more cells at the same dose than X-rays because DNA-clustered lesions produced by heavy ions affect nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair but not homologous recombination repair (HRR). We have also shown that our designed artificial microRNAs (amiRs) could efficiently target XRCC4 (an essential factor for NHEJ) or XRCC2 (an essential factor for HRR) and sensitize human tumor cells to X-rays. Based on these data, we were interested in testing the hypothesis that combining heavy ions and amiRs to target HRR but not NHEJ should more efficiently kill human tumor cells.
Methods and Materials: Human tumor cell lines (U87MG, a brain tumor cell line, and A549, a lung cancer cell line) and their counterparts, overexpressed with amiR to target XRCC2, XRCC4 or both, were used in this study. Survival sensitivities were examined using a clonogenic assay after these cells were exposed to X-rays or heavy ions. In addition, these cell lines were subcutaneously injected into nude mice to form xenografts and the tumor size was compared after the tumor areas were exposed to X-rays or heavy ions.
Results: Although targeting either XRCC4 (NHEJ factor) or XRCC2 (HRR factor) sensitized the human tumor cells to X-rays, in vitro and the xenograft animal model, targeting only XRCC2 but not XRCC4 sensitized the human tumor cells to heavy ions in vitro and in the xenograft animal model.
Conclusions: Combining heavy ions with targeting the HRR pathway, but not the NHEJ pathway, could significantly improve the efficiency of tumor cell death. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

AB Visual inspection of structures is a highly qualitative method in which inspectors visually assess a structure's condition. If a region is inaccessible, binoculars must be used to detect and characterize defects. Although several Non-Destructive Testing methods have been proposed for inspection purposes, they are nonadaptive and cannot quantify crack thickness reliably. In this paper, a contact-less remote-sensing crack detection and quantification methodology based on 3D scene reconstruction (computer vision), image processing, and pattern recognition concepts is introduced. The proposed approach utilizes depth perception to detect cracks and quantify their thickness, thereby giving a robotic inspection system the ability to analyze images captured from any distance and using any focal length or resolution. This unique adaptive feature is especially useful for incorporating mobile systems, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, into structural inspection methods since it would allow inaccessible regions to be properly inspected for cracks. Guidelines are presented for optimizing the acquisition and processing of images, thereby enhancing the quality and reliability of the damage detection approach and allowing the capture of even the slightest cracks (e.g., detection of 0.1 mm cracks from a distance of 20 m), which are routinely encountered in realistic field applications where the camera-object distance and image contrast are not controllable.

AB The accurate prediction of convective cloud development in advance of thunderstorm formation (so-called "convective initiation," CI) is a challenging forecast problem, one in which the processing of 5-15 min interval imagery from geostationary satellites (e.g., Meteosat Second Generation) offers considerable promise. A present drawback to using sequences of visible or infrared (IR) satellite images to monitor growing cumulus clouds is that higher altitude cirrus clouds often obscure the view of the low-level cumulus in the pre-convective environment. In particular, cirrus anvils from pre-existing convection, and cirrus caused by deep layer quasi-geostrophic ascent, are very common in pre-CI environments. Cloud derived parameters from GOES are used here to demonstrate how quantities like visible optical depth (tau), emittance, liquid water path, and effective particle size can be used to quantify cumulus cloud growth in advance of Cl. Time rates of change of these derived quantities, as well as IR interest fields that describe cumulus cloud development rates beneath cirrus, are analyzed as tau of the cirrus are binned from 1 to >50. Results confirm that if cirrus possess tau<20, up to >90% of the "signal" in the IR interest field remains, compared to clear-sky values, and it is proposed that CI can still be adequately nowcasted using IR channel data similar to what is done in the absence of cirrus. Similarly, cloud derived parameters become valuable as their time rates of change measure cumulus cloud growth beneath the higher clouds. In contrast, once tau values increase beyond similar to 20, cumulus cloud growth signals decrease significantly through cirrus, and as tau becomes >40, little information from the cumulus remains.

DT Article
AB This paper describes a suite of visualization software developed over several years of research by Rowan University in collaboration with Fairfield University and in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through a collaborative research development agreement. The visualization suite aids analysts in the evaluation of air traffic data: particularly, the accuracy of conflict probes within decision support tools (DSTs). Within this suite are two software applications developed in Java. The first visualization tool is called ScenarioGUI (scenario graphical user interface), and it is used to evaluate new advanced air traffic concepts within U. S. National Airspace System. The second visualization tool is called FlightGUI (flight graphical user interface), which helps the FAA visualize areas of interest during the testing and evaluation of new DSTs being deployed into the field. Two case studies of real-world examples are provided, showcasing the process of using these tools to discover insights into the data. The end product is a capability that helps the FAA determine appropriate requirements for such future systems, and an ability to purge test data in order to illustrate reasons for inaccuracies and errors through visualization that may otherwise go unnoticed through typical regression and statistical system testing.

AB This study utilized microfocus X-ray computed tomography slice sets to model and characterize the damage locations and sizes in thermal protection system materials that underwent impact testing. Image processing-based software was used to visualize and process the slice sets, followed by mesh generation on the segmented volumetric rendering. Then, the local stress fields around several of the damaged regions were calculated for realistic mission profiles that subjected the sample to extreme temperature and other severe environmental conditions. The resulting stress fields were used to quantify damage severity and make an assessment as to whether damage that did not penetrate to the base material could still result in catastrophic failure of the structure. It is expected that this study will demonstrate that finite element modeling based on an accurate 3D rendered model from a series of computed tomography slices is an essential tool to quantify the internal macroscopic discontinuities and damage of a complex system made out of thermal protection material. Results were obtained showing details of segmented images; 3D volume rendered models, finite element meshes generated, and the resulting thermomechanical stress state due to impact loading for the material are presented and discussed. Further, this study was conducted to exhibit certain high-caliber capabilities that the nondestructive testing group at National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center can offer to assist in assessing the structural durability of such highly specialized materials so improvements in their performance and capacities to handle harsh operating conditions can be made.

AB The deterministic particle transport code HZETRN is an efficient analysis tool for studying the effects of space radiation on humans, electronics, and shielding materials. In a previous work, numerical methods in the code were reviewed, and new methods were developed that further improved efficiency and reduced overall discretization error. It was also shown that the remaining discretization error could be attributed to low energy light ions (A <= 4) with residual ranges smaller than the physical step-size taken by the code. Accurately resolving the spectrum of low energy light particles is important in assessing risk associated with astronaut radiation exposure. In this work, modifications to the light particle transport formalism are presented that accurately resolve the spectrum of low energy light ion target fragments. The modified formalism is shown to significantly reduce overall discretization error and allows a physical approximation to be removed. For typical step-sizes and energy grids used in HZETRN, discretization errors for the revised light particle transport algorithms are shown to be less than 4% for aluminum and water shielding thicknesses as large as 100 g/cm(2) exposed to both solar particle event and galactic cosmic ray environments.

AB The Lax-Wendroff theorem stipulates that a discretely conservative operator is necessary to accurately capture discontinuities. The discrete operator, however, need not be derived from the divergence form of the continuous equations. Indeed, conservation law equations that are split into linear combinations of the divergence and product rule form and then discretized using any diagonal-norm skew-symmetric summation-by-parts (SBP) spatial operator, yield discrete operators that are conservative. Furthermore, split-form, discretely conservation operators can be derived for periodic or finite-domain SBP spatial operators of any order. Examples are presented of a fourth-order, SBP finite-difference operator with second-order boundary closures. Sixth-and eighth-order constructions are derived, and are supplied in an accompanying text file. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB Spatio-temporal variability in energy fluxes at the earth's surface implies spatial and temporal changes in observed land surface temperatures (LST). These fluxes are largely determined by variation in meteorological conditions, surface cover and soil characteristics. Consequently, a change in these parameters will be reflected in a different temporal LST behavior which can be observed by remotely sensed time series. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to perform a quantitative analysis on the parameters that determine this variability in LST to estimate the impact of changes in these parameters on the surface thermal regime. This study was conducted in the Russian Altay Mountains, an area characterized by strong gradients in meteorological conditions and surface cover. Spatio-temporal variability in LST was assessed by applying the fast Fourier transform (FFT) on 8 year of MODIS Aqua LST time series, herein considering both day and nighttime series as well as the diurnal difference. This FFT method was chosen as it allows to discriminate significant periodics, and as such enables distinction between short-term weather components, and strong, climate related, periodic patterns. A quantitative analysis was based on multiple linear regression models between the calculated, significant Fourier components (i.e. the annual and average component) and five physiographic variables representing the regional variability in meteorological conditions and surface cover. Physiographic predictors were elevation, potential solar insolation, topographic convergence, vegetation cover and snow cover duration. Results illustrated the strong inverse relationship between averaged daytime and diurnal difference LST and snow duration, with a R-adj(2) of 0.85 and 0.60, respectively. On the other hand, nocturnal LST showed a strong connection with elevation and the amount of vegetation cover. Amplitudes of the annual harmonic experienced both for daytime and for nighttime LST similar trends with the set of physiographic variables - with stronger relationships at night. As such, topographic convergence was found to be the principal single predictor which demonstrated the importance of severe temperature inversions in the region. Furthermore, limited contribution of the physiographic predictors to the observed variation in the annual signal of the diurnal difference was retrieved, although a significant phase divergence was noticed between the majority of the study region and the perennial snowfields. Hence, this study gives valuable insights into the complexity of the spatio-temporal variability in LST, which can be used in future studies to estimate the ecosystems' response on changing climatic conditions.

AB From the masses of the planets orbiting the Sun, and the abundance of elements relative to hydrogen, it is estimated that when the Solar System formed, the circumstellar disk must have had a minimum mass of around 0.01 solar masses within about 100 astronomical units of the star(1-4). (One astronomical unit is the EarthSun distance.) The main constituent of the disk, gaseous molecular hydrogen, does not efficiently emit radiation from the disk mass reservoir(5), and so the most common measure of the disk mass is dust thermal emission and lines of gaseous carbon monoxide(6). Carbon monoxide emission generally indicates properties of the disk surface, and the conversion from dust emission to gas mass requires knowledge of the grain properties and the gas-to-dust mass ratio, which probably differ from their interstellar values(7,8). As a result, mass estimates vary by orders of magnitude, as exemplified by the relatively old (3-10 million years) star TW Hydrae(9,10), for which the range is 0.0005-0.06 solar masses(11-14). Here we report the detection of the fundamental rotational transition of hydrogen deuteride from the direction of TW Hydrae. Hydrogen deuteride is a good tracer of disk gas because it follows the distribution of molecular hydrogen and its emission is sensitive to the total mass. The detection of hydrogen deuteride, combined with existing observations and detailed models, implies a disk mass of more than 0.05 solar masses, which is enough to form a planetary system like our own.

AB During embryonic development, organisms are sensitive to changes in thyroid hormone signaling which can reset the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. It has been hypothesized that this developmental programming is a 'predictive adaptive response', a physiological adjustment in accordance with the embryonic environment that will best aid an individual's survival in a similar postnatal environment. When the embryonic environment is a poor predictor of the external environment, the developmental changes are no longer adaptive and can result in disease states. We predicted that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and environmentally-based iodide imbalance could lead to developmental changes to the thyroid axis. To explore whether iodide or EDCs could alter developmental programming, we collected American alligator eggs from an estuarine environment with high iodide availability and elevated thyroid-specific EDCs, a freshwater environment contaminated with elevated agriculturally derived EDCs, and a reference freshwater environment. We then incubated them under identical conditions. We examined plasma thyroxine and triiodothyronine concentrations, thyroid gland histology, plasma inorganic iodide, and somatic growth at one week (before external nutrition) and ten months after hatching (on identical diets). Neonates from the estuarine environment were thyrotoxic, expressing follicular cell hyperplasia (p = 0.01) and elevated plasma triiodothyronine concentrations (p = 0.0006) closely tied to plasma iodide concentrations (p = 0.003). Neonates from the freshwater contaminated site were hypothyroid, expressing thyroid follicular cell hyperplasia (p = 0.01) and depressed plasma thyroxine concentrations (p = 0.008). Following a ten month growth period under identical conditions, thyroid histology (hyperplasia p = 0.04; colloid depletion p = 0.01) and somatic growth (body mass p<0.0001; length p = 0.02) remained altered among the contaminated sites. This work supports the hypothesis that embryonic EDC exposure or iodide imbalance could induce adult metabolic disease states, thereby stressing the need to consider the multiple environmental variables present during development.

AB Reactions controlled by diffusion create self-organizing periodic patterns in chemical systems and play a key role in biological pattern formation through diffusion-generated morphogen gradients. To better understand the organizing ability of diffusion-controlled assembly, we investigated the formation of bilaterally symmetric morphologies by simple inorganic precipitation reactions in neutral agarose gel. Our results reveal that bilaterally symmetric 'face-like' deposits of insoluble products reproducibly form in gel, by reactions governed by the properties and concentrations of soluble reactants placed symmetrically relative to a midline and by the temporal and spatial distributions arising by diffusion from initial times and positions of reactant placement.

ID SYSTEM
AB Atmospheric and surface properties have been measured from space with various spatial resolutions for decades. It is very challenging to derive the mean solar spectral radiance or reflectance over large temporal and spatial scales by explicit radiative transfer computations from the large volume of instantaneous data, especially at high spectral resolution. We propose a procedurally simple but effective method to compute the solar spectral reflectance in large climate domains, in which the probability distribution function (PDF) of cloud optical depth is used to account for the wide variation of cloud properties in different sensor footprints, and to avoid the repeated computations for footprints with similar conditions. This approach is tested with MODIS/CERES data and evaluated with SCIAMACHY measured spectral reflectance. The mean difference between model and observation is about 3% for the monthly global mean reflectance. This PDF-based approach provides a simple, fast, and effective way to simulate the mean spectral reflectance over large time and space scales with a large volume of high-resolution satellite data.

AB Trends and variations of Goddard Satellite-based Surface Turbulent Fluxes (GSSTF) version 2c (GSSTF2c) latent heat flux (LHF) are examined. This version of LHF takes account of the correction in Earth incidence angle. The trend of global mean LHF for GSSTF2c is much reduced relative to GSSTF version 2b Set 1 and Set 2 for the same period 1988-2008. Temporal increase of GSSTF2c LHF in the two decades is 11.0%, in which 3.1%, 5.8%, and 2.1% are attributed to the increase in wind, the increase in sea surface saturated air humidity, and the decrease in near-surface air humidity, respectively. The first empirical orthogonal function of LHF is a conventional El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) mode. However, the trends in LHF are independent of conventional ENSO phenomena. After removing ENSO signal, the pattern of LHF trends is primarily determined by the pattern of air-sea humidity difference trends. Citation: Gao, S., L. S. Chiu, and C.-L.

AB Global climate models have been shown to simulate tropical cyclone-like behavior even at relatively coarse resolution, and recent higher resolution simulations more accurately capture the intensity, structure, and interannual variability. Even the highest resolution global models, however, continue to underestimate the intensity of the strongest tropical cyclones. The simulated cyclone intensity has been shown by many studies to be greatly influenced by the fluxes at the air-sea interface. A simple modification has been implemented in the GEOS-5 atmospheric general circulationmodel (AGCM) based on existing theory and laboratory experiments, which demonstrated that the ocean roughness does not increase with surface stress beyond some threshold. A series of strong tropical cyclone simulations were performed with the GEOS-5 AGCM to evaluate the impact of imposing a limit on ocean surface roughness at high wind speeds. The results demonstrated clear improvements in cyclone intensity and structure in the simulations with limited ocean roughness. Citation: Molod, A., M. Suarez, and G.

ID SPECTRAL-RESOLUTION LIDAR; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES
AB Extensive profiling of aerosol optical, chemical, and microphysical properties was performed in the Washington DC/Baltimore MD region in July 2011 during NASA DISCOVER-AQ. In situ extinction coefficient (sigma(ext,in-situ)) measurements were made aboard the NASA P3-B aircraft coincident with remote-sensing observations by the High-Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL; sigma(ext,HSRL)) aboard the NASA UC-12 aircraft. A statistical comparison revealed good agreement within instrumental uncertainty (sigma(ext,in-situ)=1.1(sigma ext,HSRL) - 3.2Mm(-1), r(2)=0.88) and demonstrated the robust nature of hygroscopicity measurements (f(RH)) necessary to correct observations at dry relative humidity (RH) to ambient conditions. The average liquid-water contribution to ambient visible-light extinction was as much as 43% in this urban region. f(RH) values were observed to vary significantly from 1.1 to 2.1 on a day-to-day basis suggesting influence from both local and transported sources. Results emphasize the importance of accounting for the RH dependence of optical-and mass-based aerosol air-quality measurements (e. g., of PM2.5), especially in relation to satellite and remote-sensing retrievals.

AB Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is an atmospherically persistent greenhouse gas that is primarily removed by UV photolysis and reaction with O(D-1) atoms. In this work, the NF3 gas-phase UV absorption spectrum, sigma(lambda, T), was measured at 16 wavelengths between 184.95 and 250 nm at temperatures between 212 and 296 K. A significant spectrum temperature dependence was observed in the wavelength region most relevant to atmospheric photolysis (200-220 nm) with a decrease in sigma(210 nm, T) of similar to 45% between 296 and 212 K. Atmospheric photolysis rates and global annually averaged lifetimes of NF3 were calculated using the Goddard Space Flight Center 2-D model and the sigma(lambda, T) parameterization developed in this work. Including the UV absorption spectrum temperature dependence increased the stratospheric photolysis lifetime from 610 to 762 years and the total global lifetime from 484 to 585 years; the NF3 global warming potentials on the 20-, 100-, and 500-year time horizons increased <0.3, 1.1, and 6.5% to 13,300, 17,700, and 19,700, respectively.

ID CROSS-SECTIONS; HALOALKANES
AB The contribution of Halons, bromine-containing haloalkanes, to stratospheric ozone depletion is highly dependent on their atmospheric lifetime, which is primarily determined by UV photolysis. In this work, UV absorption cross-sections of the ozone-depleting substances CF2Br2 (Halon-1202), CF2ClBr (Halon-1211), and CF2BrCF2Br (Halon-2402) were measured between 300 and 350 nm over the temperature range 210-296 K using cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Rayleigh scattering cross-sections were also determined and utilized in the cross-section determination. Spectra parameterizations are presented and 2-D atmospheric model calculations were used to determine global annually averaged atmospheric lifetimes of 2.52, 16.4, and 28.3 years, ozone depletion potentials (ODPs) of 1.95, 8.1, and 18.4, global warming potentials (GWPs) of 175, 1940, and 2270 (100-year time horizon), and associated uncertainties for CF2Br2, CF2ClBr, and CF2BrCF2Br, respectively. The revised lifetimes, ODPs, and GWPs differ from values currently reported in international assessments to evaluate ozone recovery and climate change. Citation: Papanastasiou, D. K., N. R.

AB Laser communication and ranging experiments were successfully conducted from the satellite laser ranging (SLR) station at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) in lunar orbit. The experiments used 4096-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) for the laser pulses during one-way LRO Laser Ranging (LR) operations. Reed-Solomon forward error correction codes were used to correct the PPM symbol errors due to atmosphere turbulence and pointing jitter. The signal fading was measured and the results were compared to the model. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America

AB Whispering gallery modes in microspheres are excited by light delivered to them via optical fibers imbedded in a half-block coupler. The corresponding light intensity resonances in microspheres and coupling of two low-order linearly polarized modes in the fibers, LP01 and LP11, into the microspheres are observed. The LP01 and LP11 modes are delivered to the microsphere via a cylindrical optical fiber carrying light at two operating wavelengths, 1550 and 1300 nm correspondingly. The resonances behavioral differences generated by these fiber modes are also observed and explained. The properties of resonances generated by the LP01 and LP11 modes are analyzed using a linear polarizer inserted in the path of light propagating in optical fibers.

AB We analyze the performance of graphene microstructures as thermal photon detectors and deduce the range of parameters that define a linear response. The saturation effects of a graphene thermal detector that operates beyond the linear range are described in detail for a single-photon detector (calorimeter). We compute the effect of operating beyond this linear range and find that sensitive detection occurs for such non-linear operation. We identify the optimum conditions and find that single-photon detection at terahertz frequencies should be feasible. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4789360]

Measuring 27.4 x 10 x 13.6 mm (height) overall and weighing 9.2 g, the actuator generates a 96.5 mu m displacement in the Z-direction at 170 V-rms. The level of displacement remained constant under compressive loads up to 5 kg force. The actuator maintains 66% of its room temperature displacement at -196 degrees C.

AB A rovibrational collisional model is developed to study energy transfer and dissociation of N-2((1)Sigma(+)(g)) molecules interacting with N(S-4(u)) atoms in an ideal isochoric and isothermal chemical reactor. The system examined is a mixture of molecular nitrogen and a small amount of atomic nitrogen. This mixture, initially at room temperature, is heated by several thousands of degrees Kelvin, driving the system toward a strong non-equilibrium condition. The evolution of the population densities of each individual rovibrational level is explicitly determined via the numerical solution of the master equation for temperatures ranging from 5000 to 50 000 K. The reaction rate coefficients are taken from an ab initio database developed at NASA Ames Research Center. The macroscopic relaxation times, energy transfer rates, and dissociation rate coefficients are extracted from the solution of the master equation. The computed rotational-translational (RT) and vibrational-translational (VT) relaxation times are different at low heat bath temperatures (e. g., RT is about two orders of magnitude faster than VT at T = 5000 K), but they converge to a common limiting value at high temperature. This is contrary to the conventional interpretation of thermal relaxation in which translational and rotational relaxation timescales are assumed comparable with vibrational relaxation being considerable slower. Thus, this assumption is questionable under high temperature non-equilibrium conditions. The exchange reaction plays a very significant role in determining the dynamics of the population densities. The macroscopic energy transfer and dissociation rates are found to be slower when exchange processes are neglected. A macroscopic dissociation rate coefficient based on the quasi-stationary distribution, exhibits excellent agreement with experimental data of Appleton et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 48, 599-608 (1968)]. However, at higher temperatures, only about 50% of dissociation is found to take place under quasi-stationary state conditions. This suggest the necessity of explicitly including some rovibrational levels, when solving a global kinetic rate equation. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics.

AB Deuterium excess (d) is interpreted in conventional paleoclimate reconstructions as a tracer of oceanic source region conditions, such as temperature, where precipitation originates. Previous studies have adopted coisotopic approaches (using both delta O-18 and d) to estimate past changes in both site and oceanic source temperatures for ice core sites using empirical relationships derived from conceptual distillation models, particularly Mixed Cloud Isotopic Models (MCIMs). However, the relationship between d and oceanic surface conditions remains unclear in past contexts. We investigate this climate-isotope relationship for sites in Greenland and Antarctica using multiple simulations of the water isotope-enabled Goddard Institute for Space Studies ModelE-R general circulation model and apply a novel suite of model vapor source distribution (VSD) tracers to assess d as a proxy for source temperature variability under a range of climatic conditions. Simulated average source temperatures determined by the VSDs are compared to synthetic source temperature estimates calculated using MCIM equations linking d to source region conditions. We show that although deuterium excess is generally a faithful tracer of source temperatures as estimated by the MCIM approach, large discrepancies in the isotope-climate relationship occur around Greenland during the Last Glacial Maximum simulation, when precipitation seasonality and moisture source regions were notably different from the present. This identified sensitivity in d as a source temperature proxy suggests that quantitative climate reconstructions from deuterium excess should be treated with caution for some sites when boundary conditions are significantly different from the present day. Also, the exclusion of the influence of humidity and other evaporative source changes in MCIM regressions may be a limitation of quantifying source temperature fluctuations from deuterium excess in some instances.

AB In this study, two sets of six-member ensemble simulations were performed for the boreal summer of 2004 using the Finite Volume General Circulation model to investigate the sensitivity of the North American monsoon (NAM) system to land surface conditions and further to identify the mechanisms by which land surface processes control the NAM precipitation. The control simulation uses a fully interactive land surface model, whereas the sensitivity experiment uses prescribed land surface fields from the Global Land Data Assimilation System.
The response of the monsoon precipitation to land surface changes varies over different regions modulated by two different soil moisture-precipitation feedbacks. The vast northern NAM region, including most of Arizona and New Mexico, as well as the northwestern Mexico shows that soil moisture has a positive feedback with precipitation primarily due to local recycling mechanisms. The reduction of soil moisture decreases latent heat flux and increases sensible heat flux and consequently increases the Bowen ratio and surface temperature, leading to a deep (warm and dry) boundary layer, which suppresses convection and hence reduces precipitation. Over the west coast of Mexico near Sinaloa, a negative soil moisture-precipitation relationship is noted to be associated with a large-scale mechanism. The reduced soil moisture changes surface fluxes and hence boundary layer instability and ultimately low-level circulation. As a result, the changes in surface pressure and large scale wind field increase moisture flux convergence and consequently moisture content, leading to increased atmospheric instability and in turn enhancing convection and accordingly precipitation. These results further reinforce the important role of land surface conditions on surface process, boundary structure, atmospheric circulation, and rainfall during the NAM development.

AB The effect of orbital sampling is one of the chief uncertainties in satellite-climate model comparisons. In the context of an ongoing activity to make satellite data more accessible for model evaluation (i.e., obs4MIPs), six variables (temperature, specific humidity, ozone, cloud water, cloud cover, and ocean surface wind) associated with six satellite instruments are evaluated for the orbital sampling effect. Comparisons are made between reanalysis and simulated satellite-sampled data in terms of bias and pattern similarity. It is found that the bias introduced by orbital sampling for long-term annual means, monthly climatologies, and monthly means is largely negligible, which is within similar to 3% of the standard deviation of the three quantities for most fields. The bias for 2-hPa temperature and specific humidity, while relatively large (9-10%), is within the estimated observational uncertainty. In terms of pattern similarity, cloud water and upper level specific humidity are the most sensitive to orbital sampling among the variables considered, with the magnitude of the sampling effect dependent on the spatial resolution-insignificant at 1.25 degrees x 1.25 degrees resolution for both. For all variables considered, orbital sampling effects are not an important consideration for model evaluation at 1.25 degrees x 1.25 degrees resolution. At 0.5 degrees x 0.5 degrees, orbital sampling is potentially important for cloud water and upper level specific humidity when evaluating model long-term annual means and monthly climatologies, and for cloud water when evaluating monthly means, all in terms of pattern similarities. Orbital sampling is not an important factor for evaluating zonal means in call cases considered. Citation: Guan, B., D. E. Waliser, J. F.

AB Estimation of aerosol direct radiative forcing (DRF) from satellite measurements is challenging because current satellite sensors do not have the capability of discriminating between anthropogenic and natural aerosols. We combine 3-hourly cloud properties from satellite retrievals with two aerosol data sets to calculate the all-sky aerosol direct radiative effect (DRE), which is the mean radiative perturbation due to the presence of both natural and anthropogenic aerosols. The first aerosol data set is based upon Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Model for Atmospheric Transport and Chemistry (MATCH) assimilation model and is largely constrained by MODIS aerosol optical depth, but it does not distinguish between anthropogenic and natural aerosols. The other aerosol data set is based upon the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model, which does not assimilate aerosol observations but predicts the anthropogenic and natural components of aerosols. Thus, we can calculate the aerosol DRF using GOCART classifications of anthropogenic and natural aerosols and the ratio of DRF to DRE. We then apply this ratio to DRE calculated using MODIS/MATCH aerosols to partition it into DRF (MODIS/MATCH DRF) by assuming that the anthropogenic fractions from GOCART are representative. The global (60 degrees N similar to 60 degrees S) mean all-skyMODIS/MATCHDRF is -0.51 Wm(-2) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), 2.51 Wm(-2) within the atmosphere, and -3.02 Wm(-2) at the surface. The GOCART all-sky DRF is -0.17 Wm(-2) at the TOA, 2.02 Wm(-2) within the atmosphere, and -2.19 Wm(-2) at the surface. The differences between MODIS/MATCH DRF and GOCART DRF are solely due to the differences in aerosol properties, since both computations use the same cloud properties and surface albedo and the same proportion of anthropogenic contributions to aerosol DRE. Aerosol optical depths simulated by the GOCART model are smaller than those in MODIS/MATCH, and aerosols in the GOCART model are more absorbing than those in MODIS/MATCH. Large difference in all-sky TOA DRF from these two aerosol data sets highlights the complexity in determining the all-sky DRF, since the presence of clouds amplifies the sensitivities of DRF to aerosol single-scattering albedo and aerosol vertical distribution.

AB In this study, the annual mean climatology of top of the atmosphere (TOA) shortwave and longwave cloud radiative effects in 12 Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP)-type simulations participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) is evaluated and investigated using satellite-based observations, with a focus on the tropics. Results show that the CMIP5 AMIPs simulate large-scale regional mean TOA radiative fluxes and cloud radiative forcings (CRFs) well but produce considerably less cloud amount, particularly in the middle and lower troposphere. The good model simulations in tropical means, with multimodel mean biases of -3.6 W/m(2) for shortwave CRF and -1.0 W/m(2) for longwave CRF, are, however, a result of compensating errors over different dynamical regimes. Over the Maritime Continent, most of the models simulate moderately less high-cloud fraction, leading to weaker shortwave cooling and longwave warming and a larger net cooling. Over subtropical strong subsidence regimes, most of the CMIP5 models strongly underestimate stratocumulus cloud amount and show considerably weaker local shortwave CRF. Over the transitional trade cumulus regimes, a notable feature is that while at varying amplitudes, most of the CMIP5 models consistently simulate a deeper and drier boundary layer, more moist free troposphere, and more high clouds and, consequently, overestimate shortwave cooling and longwave warming effects there. While most of the CMIP5 models show the same sign as the multimodel mean, there are substantial model spreads, particularly over the tropical deep convective and subtropical strong subsidence regimes. Representing clouds and their TOA radiative effects remains a challenge in the CMIP5 models.

AB In this study, we assess changes of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and direct radiative forcing (DRF) in response to the reduction of anthropogenic emissions in four major pollution regions in the Northern Hemisphere by using results from nine global models in the framework of the Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (HTAP). DRF at top of atmosphere (TOA) and surface is estimated based on AOD results from the HTAP models and AOD-normalized DRF (NDRF) from a chemical transport model. The multimodel results show that, on average, a 20% reduction of anthropogenic emissions in North America, Europe, East Asia, and South Asia lowers the global mean AOD (all-sky TOA DRF) by 9.2% (9.0%), 3.5% (3.0%), and 9.4% (10.0%) for sulfate, particulate organic matter (POM), and black carbon (BC), respectively. Global annual average TOA all-sky forcing efficiency relative to particle or gaseous precursor emissions from the four regions (expressed as multimodel mean +/- one standard deviation) is -3.5 +/- 0.8, -4.0 +/- 1.7, and 29.5 +/- 18.1 mW m(-2) per Tg for sulfate (relative to SO2), POM, and BC, respectively. The impacts of the regional emission reductions on AOD and DRF extend well beyond the source regions because of intercontinental transport (ICT). On an annual basis, ICT accounts for 11 +/- 5% to 31 +/- 9% of AOD and DRF in a receptor region at continental or subcontinental scale, with domestic emissions accounting for the remainder, depending on regions and species. For sulfate AOD, the largest ICT contribution of 31 +/- 9% occurs in South Asia, which is dominated by the emissions from Europe. For BC AOD, the largest ICT contribution of 28 +/- 18% occurs in North America, which is dominated by the emissions from East Asia. The large spreads among models highlight the need to improve aerosol processes in models, and evaluate and constrain models with observations.

AB In this study we report the development of a time dependency of global dust source and its impact on dust simulation in the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model. We determine the surface bareness using the 8 km normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) observed from the advanced very high resolution radiometer satellite. The results are used to analyze the temporal variations of surface bareness in 22 global dust source regions. One half of these regions can be considered permanent dust source regions where NDVI is always less than 0.15, while the other half shows substantial seasonality of NDVI. This NDVI-based surface bareness map is then used, along with the soil and topographic characteristics, to construct a dynamic dust source function for simulating dust emissions with the GOCART model. We divide the 22 dust source regions into three groups of (I) permanent desert, (II) seasonally changing bareness that regulates dust emissions, and (III) seasonally changing bareness that has little effect on dust emission. Compared with the GOCART results with the previously employed static dust source function, the simulation with the new dynamic source function shows significant improvements in category II regions. Even though the global improvement of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) is rather small when compared with satellite and ground-based remote sensing observations, we found a clear and significant effect of the new dust source on seasonal variation of dust emission and dust optical depth near the source regions. Globally, we have found that the permanent bare land contributes to 88% of the total dust emission, whereas the grassland and cultivated crops land contribute to about 12%. Our results suggest the potential of using NDVI over a vegetated area to link the dust emission with land cover and land use change for air quality and climate change studies.

AB We present measurements from the Water Vapor Millimeter-wave Spectrometer (WVMS) instruments at Table Mountain, California (34.4 degrees N, 242.3 degrees E), and Mauna Loa, Hawaii (19.5 degrees N, 204.4 degrees E), and highlight the extended altitude range of the measurements at these sites, which now provide measurements down to 26 km. We show that this extended altitude range has been acquired without disturbing the existing long-term WVMS data set at Mauna Loa. Validation of the successful transition is provided by comparing WVMS measurements with coincident satellite measurements from the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS), the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment, and the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding. At the lowest altitudes where WVMS measurements are possible, we also compare with frost-point hygrometer balloon measurements. The water vapor mixing ratios measured at 50 km over Mauna Loa are the highest ever reported in the WVMS (since 1996) or MLS (since 2004) time series. Particularly encouraging for the new 26 km WVMS measurements is that they indicate an increase between 2010 and 2011 that is comparable to that observed by other instruments. This shows that these measurements are sensitive to variations at this altitude and that the instrumental baseline remains stable.

AB The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant mode of inter-annual variability in the tropical ocean and troposphere. Its impact on tropospheric circulation causes significant changes to the distribution of ozone. Here we derive the lower tropospheric to lower stratospheric ozone response to ENSO from observations by the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) and the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instruments, both on the Aura satellite, and compare to the simulated response from the Goddard Earth Observing System Chemistry-Climate Model (GEOSCCM). Measurement ozone sensitivity is derived using multiple linear regression to include variations from ENSO as well as from the first two empirical orthogonal functions of the quasi-biennial oscillation. Both measurements and simulation show features such as the negative ozone sensitivity to ENSO over the tropospheric tropical Pacific and positive ozone sensitivity over Indonesia and the Indian Ocean region. Ozone sensitivity to ENSO is generally positive over the midlatitude lower stratosphere, with greater sensitivity in the Northern Hemisphere. GEOSCCM reproduces both the overall pattern and magnitude of the ozone response to ENSO obtained from observations. We demonstrate the combined use of ozone measurements from MLS and TES to quantify the lower atmospheric ozone response to ENSO and suggest its possible usefulness in evaluating chemistry-climate models.

AB We analyze the relation between atmospheric temperature and water vapor-a fundamental component of the global climate system-for stratospheric water vapor (SWV). We compare measurements of SWV (and methane where available) over the period 1980-2011 from NOAA balloon-borne frostpoint hygrometer (NOAA-FPH), SAGE II, Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE), Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS)/Aura, and Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) to model predictions based on troposphere-to-stratosphere transport from ERA-Interim, and temperatures from ERA-Interim, Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis (MERRA), Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), Radiosonde Atmospheric Temperature Products for Assessing Climate (RATPAC), HadAT2, and RICHv1.5. All model predictions are dry biased. The interannual anomalies of the model predictions show periods of fairly regular oscillations, alternating with more quiescent periods and a few large-amplitude oscillations. They all agree well (correlation coefficients 0.9 and larger) with observations for higher-frequency variations (periods up to 2-3 years). Differences between SWV observations, and temperature data, respectively, render analysis of the model minus observation residual difficult. However, we find fairly well-defined periods of drifts in the residuals. For the 1980s, model predictions differ most, and only the calculation with ERA-Interim temperatures is roughly within observational uncertainties. All model predictions show a drying relative to HALOE in the 1990s, followed by a moistening in the early 2000s. Drifts to NOAA-FPH are similar (but stronger), whereas no drift is present against SAGE II. As a result, the model calculations have a less pronounced drop in SWV in 2000 than HALOE. From the mid-2000s onward, models and observations agree reasonably, and some differences can be traced to problems in the temperature data. These results indicate that both SWV and temperature data may still suffer from artifacts that need to be resolved in order to answer the question whether the large-scale flow and temperature field is sufficient to explain water entering the stratosphere.

TI Variability of extratropical ozone stratosphere-troposphere exchange
using microwave limb sounder observations
SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES
LA English
DT Article
ID MASS; TROPOPAUSE; FLUX; ATMOSPHERE; TRANSPORT; INDEX
AB The extratropical stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) of ozone from 2005 to 2010 is estimated by combining Microwave Limb Sounder ozone observations and MERRA reanalysis meteorological fields in an established direct diagnostic framework. The multiyear mean ozone STE is 275 Tg yr(-1) and 214 Tg yr(-1) in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, respectively. The year-to-year variability is greater in the Northern Hemisphere, where the difference between the highest and the lowest annual flux is 15% of the multiyear mean compared with 6% in the Southern Hemisphere. Variability of lower stratospheric ozone and variability of the net mass flux both contribute to interannual variability in the Northern Hemisphere ozone flux. The flux across the extratropical 380K surface determines the amount of flux across the extratropical tropopause, and the greatest seasonal variability of the 380K ozone flux occurs in the late winter/early spring, around the time of greatest flux. Both the mass flux and the ozone mixing ratios on the 380K surface show recurring spatial patterns, but interannual variability of these quantities and their alignment contribute to the ozone flux variability. The spatial and temporal variability are not well represented when zonal and/or monthly mean fields are used to calculate the ozone STE, although this results in a small high bias of the seasonal amplitude and annual magnitude. If the climatological variability over these 6 years is representative, the estimated number of years required to detect a 2 - 3% decade(-1) trend in ozone STE using this diagnostic is 35 - 39 years.

AB A 'pulsar timing array' (PTA), in which observations of a large sample of pulsars spread across the celestial sphere are combined, allows investigation of 'global' phenomena such as a background of gravitational waves or instabilities in atomic timescales that produce correlated timing residuals in the pulsars of the array. The Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) is an implementation of the PTA concept based on observations with the Parkes 64-m radio telescope. A sample of 20 ms pulsars is being observed at three radio-frequency bands, 50 cm (similar to 700MHz), 20 cm (similar to 1400 MHz), and 10 cm (similar to 3100 MHz), with observations at intervals of two to three weeks. Regular observations commenced in early 2005. This paper describes the systems used for the PPTA observations and data processing, including calibration and timing analysis. The strategy behind the choice of pulsars, observing parameters, and analysis methods is discussed. Results are presented for PPTA data in the three bands taken between 2005 March and 2011 March. For 10 of the 20 pulsars, rms timing residuals are less than 1 mu s for the best band after fitting for pulse frequency and its first time derivative. Significant 'red' timing noise is detected in about half of the sample. We discuss the implications of these results on future projects including the International Pulsar Timing Array and a PTA based on the Square Kilometre Array. We also present an 'extended PPTA' data set that combines PPTA data with earlier Parkes timing data for these pulsars.

AB We report a search for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of binary black holes (BBH) with total mass between 25 and 100 solar masses, in data taken at the LIGO and Virgo observatories between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. The maximum sensitive distance of the detectors over this period for a (20, 20)M-circle dot coalescence was 300 Mpc. No gravitational wave signals were found. We thus report upper limits on the astrophysical coalescence rates of BBH as a function of the component masses for nonspinning components, and also evaluate the dependence of the search sensitivity on component spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum. We find an upper limit at 90% confidence on the coalescence rate of BBH with nonspinning components of mass between 19 and 28M(circle dot) of 3:3 x 10(-7) mergers Mpc(-3) yr(-1).

AB We describe the implementation of a search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences in LIGO and Virgo data. This all-sky, all-time, multidetector search for binary coalescence has been used to search data taken in recent LIGO and Virgo runs. The search is built around a matched filter analysis of the data, augmented by numerous signal consistency tests designed to distinguish artifacts of non-Gaussian detector noise from potential detections. We demonstrate the search performance using Gaussian noise and data from the fifth LIGO science run and demonstrate that the signal consistency tests are capable of mitigating the effect of non-Gaussian noise and providing a sensitivity comparable to that achieved in Gaussian noise.

AB We report on searches for neutrino sources at energies above 200 GeV in the Northern sky of the Galactic plane, using the data collected by the South Pole neutrino telescope, IceCube, and AMANDA. The Galactic region considered in this work includes the local arm toward the Cygnus region and our closest approach to the Perseus Arm. The searches are based on the data collected between 2007 and 2009. During this time AMANDA was an integrated part of IceCube, which was still under construction and operated with 22 strings (2007-2008) and 40 strings (2008-2009) of optical modules deployed in the ice. By combining the advantages of the larger IceCube detector with the lower energy threshold of the more compact AMANDA detector, we obtain an improved sensitivity at energies below similar to 10 TeV with respect to previous searches. The analyses presented here are a scan for point sources within the Galactic plane, a search optimized formultiple and extended sources in the Cygnus region, which might be below the sensitivity of the point source scan, and studies of seven pre-selected neutrino source candidates. For one of them, Cygnus X-3, a time-dependent search for neutrino emission in coincidence with observed radio and X-ray flares has been performed. No evidence of a signal is found, and upper limits are reported for each of the searches. We investigate neutrino spectra proportional to E-2 and E-3 in order to cover the entire range of possible neutrino spectra. The steeply falling E-3 neutrino spectrum can also be used to approximate neutrino energy spectra with energy cutoffs below 50 TeV since these result in a similar energy distribution of events in the detector. For the region of the Galactic plane visible in the Northern sky, the 90% confidence level muon neutrino flux upper limits are in the range E(3)dN/dE similar to 5.4-19.5 x 10(-11) TeV2 cm(-2) s(-1) for point-like neutrino sources in the energy region [180.0 GeV-20.5 TeV]. These represent the most stringent upper limits for soft-spectra neutrino sources within the Galaxy reported to date.

TI THE DRIVER OF CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS IN THE LOW CORONA: A FLUX ROPE

AB Recent Solar Dynamic Observatory observations reveal that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) consist of a multi-temperature structure: a hot flux rope and a cool leading front (LF). The flux rope first appears as a twisted hot channel in the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) 94 angstrom and 131 angstrom passbands. The twisted hot channel initially lies along the polarity inversion line and then rises and develops into a semi-circular flux-rope-like structure during the impulsive acceleration phase of CMEs. In the meantime, the rising hot channel compresses the surrounding magnetic field and plasma, which successively stack into the CME LF. In this paper, we study in detail two well-observed CMEs that occurred on 2011 March 7 and 2011 March 8, respectively. Each of them is associated with an M-class flare. Through a kinematic analysis we find that (1) the hot channel rises earlier than the first appearance of the CME LF and the onset of the associated flare and (2) the speed of the hot channel is always faster than that of the LF, at least in the field of view of AIA. Thus, the hot channel acts as a continuous driver of the CME formation and eruption in the early acceleration phase. Subsequently, the two CMEs in white-light images can be well reproduced by the graduated cylindrical shell flux rope model. These results suggest that the pre-existing flux rope plays a key role in CME initiation and formation.

AB We present a study of the relative sizes of planets within the multiple-candidate systems discovered with the Kepler mission. We have compared the size of each planet to the size of every other planet within a given planetary system after correcting the sample for detection and geometric biases. We find that for planet pairs for which one or both objects are approximately Neptune-sized or larger, the larger planet is most often the planet with the longer period. No such size-location correlation is seen for pairs of planets when both planets are smaller than Neptune. Specifically, if at least one planet in a planet pair has a radius of greater than or similar to 3R(circle plus), 68% +/- 6% of the planet pairs have the inner planet smaller than the outer planet, while no preferred sequential ordering of the planets is observed if both planets in a pair are smaller than less than or similar to 3 R-circle plus.

AB We obtained infrared spectra of Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner (hereafter 21P/GZ) using NIRSPEC at Keck II on UT 2005 June 3, approximately one month before perihelion, that simultaneously sampled H2O, C2H6, and CH3OH. Our production rate for H2O (3.885 +/- 0.074 x 10(28) molecules s(-1)) was consistent with that measured during other apparitions of 21P/GZ as retrieved from optical, infrared, and radio observations. Our analysis also provided values for rotational temperature (T-rot = 51 +/- 3 K) and the abundance ratio of ortho and para spin populations for water (OPR = 2.99 +/- 0.23, implying a spin temperature exceeding 50 K). Six Q-branches in the nu(7) band of C2H6 provided a production rate (5.27 +/- 0.90 x 10(25) s(-1)) that corresponded to an abundance ratio of 0.136 +/- 0.023 x 10(-2) relative to H2O, confirming the previously reported strong depletion of C2H6 from IR observations during the 1998 apparition, and in qualitative agreement with the depletion of C-2 known from optical studies of 21P/GZ. For CH3OH, we applied our recently published quantum model for the nu(3) band to obtain a rotational temperature (48(+10)/-7 K) consistent with that obtained for H2O. In addition, we developed a new empirical model for the CH3OH nu(2) band, based on observations of Comet 8P/Tuttle with NIRSPEC. The application of our nu(2) model to 21P/GZ yielded a production rate in agreement with that obtained from the nu(3) band. Combining results from both nu(2) and nu(3) bands provided a production rate (47.5 +/- 4.4 x 10(25) s(-1)) that corresponded to an abundance ratio of 1.22 +/- 0.11 x 10(-2) relative to H2O in 21P/GZ, indicating mild depletion of CH3OH. Together with observations of 21P/GZ in 1998, our study provides a measure of primary volatile production rates for this Jupiter family comet over multiple apparitions using high-resolution IR spectroscopy.

AB Determining fundamental properties of stars through stellar modeling has improved substantially due to recent advances in asteroseismology. Thanks to the unprecedented data quality obtained by space missions, particularly CoRoT and Kepler, invaluable information is extracted from the high-precision stellar oscillation frequencies, which provide very strong constraints on possible stellar models for a given set of classical observations. In this work, we have characterized two relatively faint stars, KIC 10920273 and KIC 11395018, using oscillation data from Kepler photometry and atmospheric constraints from ground-based spectroscopy. Both stars have very similar atmospheric properties; however, using the individual frequencies extracted from the Kepler data, we have determined quite distinct global properties, with increased precision compared to that of earlier results. We found that both stars have left the main sequence and characterized them as follows: KIC 10920273 is a one-solar-mass star (M = 1.00 +/- 0.04 M-circle dot), but much older than our Sun (t = 7.12 +/- 0.47 Gyr), while KIC 11395018 is significantly more massive than the Sun (M = 1.27 +/- 0.04 M-circle dot) with an age close to that of the Sun (t = 4.57 +/- 0.23 Gyr). We confirm that the high lithium abundance reported for these stars should not be considered to represent young ages, as we precisely determined them to be evolved subgiants. We discuss the use of surface lithium abundance, rotation, and activity relations as potential age diagnostics.

AB Doppler surveys have shown that the occurrence rate of Jupiter-mass planets appears to increase as a function of stellar mass. However, this result depends on the ability to accurately measure the masses of evolved stars. Recently, Lloyd called into question the masses of subgiant stars targeted by Doppler surveys. Lloyd argues that very few observable subgiants have masses greater than 1.5 M-circle dot, and that most of them have masses in the range 1.0-1.2 M-circle dot. To investigate this claim, we use Galactic stellar population models to generate an all-sky distribution of stars. We incorporate the effects that make massive subgiants less numerous, such as the initial mass function and differences in stellar evolution timescales. We find that these effects lead to negligibly small systematic errors in stellar mass estimates, in contrast to the approximate to 50% errors predicted by Lloyd. Additionally, our simulated target sample does in fact include a significant fraction of stars with masses greater than 1.5 M-circle dot, primarily because the inclusion of an apparent magnitude limit results in a Malmquist-like bias toward more massive stars, in contrast to the volume-limited simulations of Lloyd. The magnitude limit shifts the mean of our simulated distribution toward higher masses and results in a relatively smaller number of evolved stars with masses in the range 1.0-1.2 M-circle dot. We conclude that, within the context of our present-day understanding of stellar structure and evolution, many of the subgiants observed in Doppler surveys are indeed as massive as main-sequence A stars.

AB Motivated by recent spectroscopic evidence for carbon-rich atmospheres on some transiting exoplanets, we investigate the influence of the C/O ratio on the chemistry, composition, and spectra of extrasolar giant planets both from a thermochemical equilibrium perspective and from consideration of disequilibrium processes like photochemistry and transport-induced quenching. We find that although CO is predicted to be a major atmospheric constituent on hot Jupiters for all C/O ratios, other oxygen-bearing molecules like H2O and CO2 are much more abundant when C/O < 1, whereas CH4, HCN, and C2H2 gain significantly in abundance when C/O > 1. Other notable species like N-2 and NH3 that do not contain carbon or oxygen are relatively unaffected by the C/O ratio. Disequilibrium processes tend to enhance the abundance of CH4, NH3, HCN, and C2H2 over a wide range of C/O ratios. We compare the results of our models with secondary-eclipse photometric data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and conclude that (1) disequilibrium models with C/O similar to 1 are consistent with spectra of WASP-12b, XO-1b, and CoRoT-2b, confirming the possible carbon-rich nature of these planets; (2) spectra from HD 189733b are consistent with C/O less than or similar to 1, but as the assumed metallicity is increased above solar, the required C/O ratio must increase toward 1 to prevent too much H2O absorption; (3) species like HCN can have a significant influence on spectral behavior in the 3.6 and 8.0 mu m Spitzer channels, potentially providing even more opacity than CH4 when C/O > 1; and (4) the very high CO2 abundance inferred for HD 189733b from near-infrared observations cannot be explained through equilibrium or disequilibrium chemistry in a hydrogen-dominated atmosphere. We discuss possible formation mechanisms for carbon-rich hot Jupiters, including scenarios in which the accretion of CO-rich, H2O-poor gas dominates the atmospheric envelope, and scenarios in which the planets accrete carbon-rich solids while migrating through disk regions inward of the snow line. The C/O ratio and bulk atmospheric metallicity provide important clues regarding the formation and evolution of the giant planets.

TI X-RAY EMISSION FROM SUPERNOVAE IN DENSE CIRCUMSTELLAR MATTER
ENVIRONMENTS: A SEARCH FOR COLLISIONLESS SHOCKS

AB The optical light curve of some supernovae (SNe) may be powered by the outward diffusion of the energy deposited by the explosion shock (the so-called shock breakout) in optically thick (tau greater than or similar to 30) circumstellar matter (CSM). Recently, it was shown that the radiation-mediated and radiation-dominated shock in an optically thick wind must transform into a collisionless shock and can produce hard X-rays. The X-rays are expected to peak at late times, relative to maximum visible light. Here we report on a search, using Swift/XRT and Chandra, for X-ray emission from 28 SNe that belong to classes whose progenitors are suspected to be embedded in dense CSM. Our sample includes 19 Type IIn SNe, one Type Ibn SN, and eight hydrogen-poor superluminous SNe (SLSN-I such as SN 2005ap). Two SNe (SN 2006jc and SN 2010jl) have X-ray properties that are roughly consistent with the expectation for X-rays from a collisionless shock in optically thick CSM. However, the X-ray emission from SN 2006jc can also be explained as originating in an optically thin region. Thus, we propose that the optical light curve of SN 2010jl is powered by shock breakout in CSM. We suggest that two other events (SN 2010al and SN 2011ht) were too X-ray bright during the SN maximum optical light to be explained by the shock-breakout model. We conclude that the light curves of some, but not all, SNe IIn/Ibn are powered by shock breakout in CSM. For the rest of the SNe in our sample, including all of the SLSN-I events, our X-ray limits are not deep enough and were typically obtained too early (i.e., near the SN maximum light) for definitive conclusions about their nature. Late-time X-ray observations are required in order to further test whether these SNe are indeed embedded in dense CSM. We review the conditions required for a shock breakout in a wind profile. We argue that the timescale, relative to maximum light, for the SN to peak in X-rays is a probe of the column density and the density profile above the shock region. In SNe whose X-ray emission slowly rises, and peaks at late times, the optical light curve is likely powered by the diffusion of shock energy in a dense CSM. We note that if the CSM density profile falls faster than a constant-rate wind-density profile, then X-rays may escape at earlier times than estimated for the wind-profile case. Furthermore, if the CSM has a region in which the density profile is very steep relative to a steady wind-density profile, or if the CSM is neutral, then the radio free-free absorption may be sufficiently low for radio emission to be detected.

AB We present an analysis of the anomalous microlensing event, MOA-2010-BLG-073, announced by the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics survey on 2010 March 18. This event was remarkable because the source was previously known to be photometrically variable. Analyzing the pre-event source light curve, we demonstrate that it is an irregular variable over timescales >200 days. Its dereddened color, (V - I)(S),(0), is 1.221 +/- 0.051 mag, and from our lens model we derive a source radius of 14.7 +/- 1.3 R-circle dot, suggesting that it is a red giant star. We initially explored a number of purely microlensing models for the event but found a residual gradient in the data taken prior to and after the event. This is likely to be due to the variability of the source rather than part of the lensing event, so we incorporated a slope parameter in our model in order to derive the true parameters of the lensing system. We find that the lensing system has a mass ratio of q = 0.0654 +/- 0.0006. The Einstein crossing time of the event, t(E) = 44.3 +/- 0.1 days, was sufficiently long that the light curve exhibited parallax effects. In addition, the source trajectory relative to the large caustic structure allowed the orbital motion of the lens system to be detected. Combining the parallax with the Einstein radius, we were able to derive the distance to the lens, D-L = 2.8 +/- 0.4 kpc, and the masses of the lensing objects. The primary of the lens is an M-dwarf with M-L,M-1 = 0.16 +/- 0.03 M-circle dot, while the companion has M-L,M-2 = 11.0 +/- 2.0 M-J, putting it in the boundary zone between planets and brown dwarfs.

AB We present adaptive optics photometry and spectra in the JHKL bands along with high spectral resolution K-band spectroscopy for each component of the Z Canis Majoris system. Our high angular resolution photometry of this very young (less than or similar to 1 Myr) binary, comprised of an FU Ori object and a Herbig Ae/Be star, was gathered shortly after the 2008 outburst while our high-resolution spectroscopy was gathered during a quiescent phase. Our photometry conclusively determines that the outburst was due solely to the embedded Herbig Ae/Be member, supporting results from earlier works, and that the optically visible FU Ori component decreased slightly (similar to 30%) in luminosity during the same period, consistent with previous works on the variability of FU Ori type systems. Further, our high-resolution K-band spectra definitively demonstrate that the 2.294 mu m CO absorption feature seen in composite spectra of the system is due solely to the FU Ori component, while a prominent CO emission feature at the same wavelength, long suspected to be associated with the innermost regions of a circumstellar accretion disk, can be assigned to the Herbig Ae/Be member. These findings clarify previous analyses of the origin of the CO emission in this complex system.

TI THE RADIAL DISTRIBUTION OF STAR FORMATION IN GALAXIES AT z similar to 1

AB The assembly of galaxies can be described by the distribution of their star formation as a function of cosmic time. Thanks to the WFC3 grism on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) it is now possible to measure this beyond the local Universe. Here we present the spatial distribution of H alpha emission for a sample of 54 strongly star-forming galaxies at z similar to 1 in the 3D-HST Treasury survey. By stacking the H alpha emission, we find that star formation occurred in approximately exponential distributions at z similar to 1, with a median Sersic index of n = 1.0 +/- 0.2. The stacks are elongated with median axis ratios of b/a = 0.58 +/- 0.09 in H alpha consistent with (possibly thick) disks at random orientation angles. Keck spectra obtained for a subset of eight of the galaxies show clear evidence for rotation, with inclination corrected velocities of 90-330 km s(-1). The most straightforward interpretation of our results is that star formation in strongly star-forming galaxies at z similar to 1 generally occurred in disks. The disks appear to be "scaled-up" versions of nearby spiral galaxies: they have EW(H alpha) similar to 100 angstrom out to the solar orbit and they have star formation surface densities above the threshold for driving galactic scale winds.

TI RADIO DETECTION OF THE FERMI-LAT BLIND SEARCH MILLISECOND PULSAR
J1311-3430
SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
DE pulsars: individual (PSR J1311-3430)
ID X-RAY; BINARY
AB We report the detection of radio emission from PSR J1311-3430, the first millisecond pulsar (MSP) discovered in a blind search of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) gamma-ray data. We detected radio pulsations at 2 GHz, visible for <10% of similar to 4.5 hr of observations using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). Observations at 5 GHz with the GBT and at several lower frequencies with Parkes, Nancay, and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope resulted in non-detections. We also report the faint detection of a steep spectrum continuum radio source (0.1 mJy at 5 GHz) in interferometric imaging observations with the Jansky Very Large Array. These detections demonstrate that PSR J1311-3430 is not radio quiet and provide additional evidence that radio-quiet MSPs are rare. The radio dispersion measure of 37.8 pc cm(-3) provides a distance estimate of 1.4 kpc for the system, yielding a gamma-ray efficiency of 30%, typical of LAT-detected MSPs. We see apparent excess delay in the radio pulses as the pulsar appears from eclipse and we speculate on possible mechanisms for the non-detections of the pulse at other orbital phases and observing frequencies.

TI Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with IceCube
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D
LA English
DT Article
ID NEUTRINO TELESCOPE; SELECTION; AMANDA; FIELDS; FLUX
AB We present the first results in the search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the IceCube detector, a subsurface neutrino telescope located in the South Polar ice cap containing a volume of 1 km(3). This analysis searches data taken on the partially completed detector during 2007 when roughly 0.2 km(3) of ice was instrumented. The lack of candidate events leads to an upper limit on the flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles of Phi(90%C.L.) similar to 3 x 10(-18) cm(-2) sr(-1) s(-1) for beta >= 0.8. This is a factor of 4 improvement over the previous best experimental flux limits up to a Lorentz boost gamma below 10(7). This result is then interpreted for a wide range of mass and kinetic energy values. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.022001

AB The detection of electromagnetic pulses from high energy showers is used as a means to search for ultrahigh energy cosmic ray and neutrino interactions. An approximate formula has been obtained to numerically evaluate the radio pulse emitted by a charged particle that instantaneously accelerates, moves at constant speed along a straight track, and halts again instantaneously. The approximate solution is applied to the particle track after dividing it in smaller subintervals. The resulting algorithm [often referred to as the Zas-Halzen-Stanev (ZHS) algorithm] is also the basis for most of the simulations of the electric field produced in high energy showers in dense media. In this work, the electromagnetic pulses as predicted with the ZHS algorithm are compared to those obtained with an exact solution of the electric field produced by a charged particle track. The precise conditions that must apply for the algorithm to be valid are discussed and its accuracy is addressed. This comparison is also made for electromagnetic showers in dense media. The ZHS algorithm is shown to describe Cherenkov radiation and to be valid for most situations of interest concerning detectors searching for ultrahigh energy neutrinos. The results of this work are also relevant for the simulation of pulses emitted from air showers. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.023003

AB Measurements of surface reflectance of permanently shadowed areas near Mercury's north pole reveal regions of anomalously dark and bright deposits at 1064-nanometer wavelength. These reflectance anomalies are concentrated on poleward-facing slopes and are spatially collocated with areas of high radar backscatter postulated to be the result of near-surface water ice. Correlation of observed reflectance with modeled temperatures indicates that the optically bright regions are consistent with surface water ice, whereas dark regions are consistent with a surface layer of complex organic material that likely overlies buried ice and provides thermal insulation. Impacts of comets or volatile-rich asteroids could have provided both dark and bright deposits.

ID COMET HALLEY; POLES; ICE; DEPOSITS; WATER; MOON
AB Thermal models for the north polar region of Mercury, calculated from topographic measurements made by the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, show that the spatial distribution of regions of high radar backscatter is well matched by the predicted distribution of thermally stable water ice. MESSENGER measurements of near-infrared surface reflectance indicate bright surfaces in the coldest areas where water ice is predicted to be stable at the surface, and dark surfaces within and surrounding warmer areas where water ice is predicted to be stable only in the near subsurface. We propose that the dark surface layer is a sublimation lag deposit that may be rich in impact-derived organic material.

AB We present full-particle simulations of 2-D magnetotail current sheet equilibria with open boundaries and zero driving. The simulations show that spontaneous formation of dipolarization fronts and subsequent formation of magnetic islands are possible in equilibria with an accumulation of magnetic flux at the tailward end of a sufficiently thin current sheet. These results confirm recent findings in the linear stability of the ion tearing mode, including the predicted dependence of the tail current sheet stability on the amount of accumulated magnetic flux expressed in terms of the specific destabilization parameter. The initial phase of reconnection onset associated with the front formation represents a process of slippage of magnetic field lines with frozen-in electrons relative to the ion plasma species. This non-MHD process characterized by different motions of ion and electron species generates a substantial charge separation electric field normal to the front. Citation: Sitnov, M. I., N.

AB Cirrus clouds, thin ice clouds in the upper troposphere, have a net warming effect on Earth's climate. Consequently, a reduction in cirrus cloud amount or optical thickness would cool the climate. Recent research indicates that by seeding cirrus clouds with particles that promote ice nucleation, their lifetimes and coverage could be reduced. We have tested this hypothesis in a global climate model with a state-of-the-art representation of cirrus clouds and find that cirrus cloud seeding has the potential to cancel the entire warming caused by human activity from pre-industrial times to present day. However, the desired effect is only obtained for seeding particle concentrations that lie within an optimal range. With lower than optimal particle concentrations, a seeding exercise would have no effect. Moreover, a higher than optimal concentration results in an over-seeding that could have the deleterious effect of prolonging cirrus lifetime and contributing to global warming.

AB Regional tropospheric water balance depends on local mixing rates, moistening and precipitation efficiency associated with cloud processes, and large-scale moisture advection. Conventional data sets are insufficient to disentangle how these processes affect the regional humidity, and models are limited by their need to parameterize many of the pertinent mechanisms, including precipitation efficiency, evaporation of cloud condensate, and mixing rates. This study provides new insight by constraining a Lagrangian mass balance model with satellite measurements of specific humidity and the HDO/H2O ratio in water vapor. Seasonal estimates of mixing rates, moistening efficiency, isotopic composition of source waters, and effective isotopic fractionation in clouds are calculated. Analysis shows that the water source is dominated by cloud evaporation in the dry subtropics, subcloud rainfall recycling in the humid subtropics, and convective detrainment and postcondensational exchange during tropical monsoons. Moistening efficiency is shown to be as twice as strong over the wintertime subtropics as over other regions. Over monsoonal areas, however, moistening efficiency decreases during times of most intense mixing, since postcondensational exchange and convective recycling effects act to dehydrate and isotopically deplete the local water sources. A robust relationship is found between precipitation efficiency derived from rainfall profile measurements and differences in effective and equilibrium isotopic fractionation rates, suggesting that isotopic observations might enable estimates of this illusive parameter to be inferred directly. In spite of the simple modeling framework employed, the results provide insight in to the gains that can be expected by assimilating satellite observations of isotope ratios into more comprehensive, isotope-enabled general circulation models.

AB This paper documents the climatological mean features of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) monthly mean tropospheric air temperature (ta, K) and specific humidity (hus, kg/kg) products as part of the Obs4MIPs project and compares them to those from NASA's Modern Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) for validation and 16 models from the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) for CMIP5 model evaluation. MERRA is warmer than AIRS in the free troposphere but colder in the boundary layer with differences typically less than 1K. MERRA is also drier (similar to 10%) than AIRS in the tropical boundary layer but wetter (similar to 30%) in the tropical free troposphere and the extratropical troposphere. In particular, the large MERRA-AIRS specific humidity differences are mainly located in the deep convective cloudy regions indicating that the low sampling of AIRS in the cloudy regions may be the main reason for these differences. In comparison to AIRS and MERRA, the sixteen CMIP5 models can generally reproduce the climatological features of tropospheric air temperature and specific humidity well, but several noticeable biases exist. The models have a tropospheric cold bias (around 2 K), especially in the extratropical upper troposphere, and a double-ITCZ problem in the troposphere from 1000 hPa to 300 hPa, especially in the tropical Pacific. The upper-tropospheric cold bias exists in the most (13 of 16) models, and the double-ITCZ bias is found in all 16 CMIP5 models. Both biases are independent of the reference dataset used (AIRS or MERRA). Citation: Tian, B., E. J. Fetzer, B. H. Kahn, J. Teixeira, E. Manning, and T.

AB The present-day climate response to aerosol direct and semi-direct effects is investigated using the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System version 5 (GEOS-5) atmospheric general circulation model. We focus our investigation on aerosol-climate interactions by using either prognostic aerosols from an online aerosol module or aerosols from a climatology based on the prognostic aerosols. As found in previous studies, forcing from all aerosols cools the land surface, warms the troposphere, and impacts global mean circulation, affecting both the strength of the Hadley cell and the zonal mean wind. Less absorbing natural aerosol alone tends to have weaker impacts on global climate. We find that removing the feedback of meteorology on aerosol distributions can significantly impact the climate response depending on the parameter, region, and season considered. Much of the differing climate response to prognostic and prescribed aerosols occurs in regions remote from direct aerosol forcing, such as in the stratosphere and the northern and southern high latitudes. This suggests that aerosol-climate interactions may induce remote dynamical responses to aerosol forcing in global models. The largest effect of removing coupling is to enhance the aerosol optical depth globally over the oceans. This enhancement is due to the removal of the co-variability between aerosol mass and relative humidity on sub-monthly timescales in the high humidity oceanic environment.

AB This study demonstrates how aerosols influence the liquid precipitation formation process. This demonstration is provided by the combined use of satellite observations and global high-resolution model simulations. Methodologies developed to examine the warm cloud microphysical processes are applied to both multi-sensor satellite observations and aerosol-coupled global cloud-resolving model (GCRM) results to illustrate how the warm rain formation process is modulated under different aerosol conditions. The observational analysis exhibits process-scale signatures of rain suppression due to increased aerosols, providing observational evidence of the aerosol influence on precipitation. By contrast, the corresponding statistics obtained from the model show a much faster rain formation even for polluted aerosol conditions and much weaker reduction of precipitation in response to aerosol increase. It is then shown that this reduced sensitivity points to a fundamental model bias in the warm rain formation process that in turn biases the influence of aerosol on precipitation. A method of improving the model bias is introduced in the context of a simplified single-column model (SCM) that represents the cloud-to-rain water conversion process in a manner similar to the original GCRM. Sensitivity experiments performed by modifying the model assumptions in the SCM and their comparisons to satellite statistics both suggest that the auto-conversion scheme has a critical role in determining the precipitation response to aerosol perturbations and also provide a novel way of constraining key parameters in the auto-conversion schemes of global models.

AB We present a comparison of a photochemical model with mesospheric hydroxyl (OH) data from the Spatial Heterodyne Imager for Mesospheric Radicals (SHIMMER) and mesospheric ozone (O-3) data from the Sounding of the Atmosphere with Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER). Although SHIMMER and SABER do not measure the atmosphere coincidently, by sampling the photochemical model at the appropriate local time of each measurement, an effective concurrent test of mesospheric odd oxygen and odd hydrogen theory can be achieved. Consistent with previous, more limited analyses of SHIMMER data, we find no evidence of a systematic model overprediction of mesospheric OH. However, at 80 km, the standard chemical scheme shows a model deficit in the morning hours and a dramatic model excess in the late afternoon. Using a higher rate coefficient for the H + O-2 + M -> HO2 + M reaction ameliorates this problem. Such a higher rate is consistent with the only reported laboratory measurements at the low temperatures appropriate to the mesosphere. Regarding the SABER ozone, the model significantly underpredicts the data. Some of this could be explained by a previously reported, systematic high bias to the SABER ozone, and comparisons of our model with Microwave Limb Sounder data support that suggestion. Nonetheless, a persistent model ozone deficit remains. Since the model agreement with SHIMMER OH is generally very good, this model ozone deficit is unlikely to be due to a mischaracterization of mesospheric HOx. Citation: Siskind, D. E., M. H.

AB Although ocean-derived aerosols play a critical role in modifying the radiative balance over much of the Earth, their sources are still subject to large uncertainties, concerning not only their total mass flux but also their size distribution and chemical composition. These uncertainties are linked primarily to their source drivers, which is mainly wind speed, but are also linked to other factors, such as the presence of organic compounds in sea spray in addition to sea salt. In order to quantify these uncertainties and identify the larger knowledge gaps, we performed several model runs with online calculation of aerosol sources, removal, and underlying climate. In these simulations, both the direct and indirect aerosol effects on climate are included. The oceanic source of organic aerosols was found to be heavily dependent on the sea-salt parameterization selected. For only a factor of 2 change in assumed fine-mode sea-salt size, a factor of 10 difference in mass emissions was calculated for both sea salt and primary oceanic organics. The annual emissions of oceanic organics were calculated to range from 7.5 to 76 Tg yr(-1). The model's performance against remote oceanic measurements was greatly improved when including the high estimates of organics. However, the uncertainty could not be further reduced by bulk sea-salt measurements alone since most parameterizations tested agree reasonably well with measurements of both the (coarse-mode-dominated) sea salt and aerosol optical depth due to large changes in lifetime and optical properties of aerosols when different aerosol sizes are used.

AB The balloon-borne experiment with a superconducting spectrometer (BESS) has performed cosmic-ray observations as a US-Japan cooperative space science program, and has provided fundamental data on cosmic rays to study elementary particle phenomena in the early Universe. The BESS experiment has measured the energy spectra of cosmic-ray antiprotons to investigate signatures of possible exotic origins such as dark matter candidates or primordial black holes, and searched for heavier antinuclei that might reach Earth from antimatter domains formed in the early Universe. The apex of the BESS program was reached with the Antarctic flight of BESS-Polar II, during the 2007-2008 Austral Summer, that obtained over 4.7 billion cosmic-ray events from 24.5 days of observation. The flight took place at the expected solar minimum, when the sensitivity of the low-energy antiproton measurements to a primary source is greatest. Here, we report the scientific results, focusing on the long-duration flights of BESS-Polar I (2004) and BESS-Polar II (2007-2008). (c) 2011 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The Balloon-borne Experiment with a Superconducting Spectrometer (BESS) was flown from Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Canada in August, 2000, during the maximum solar modulation period, with an average residual atmospheric overburden of 4.3 g/cm(2). Precise spectral measurements of cosmic ray hydrogen isotopes from 0.178 GeV/n to 1.334 GeV/n were made during the 28.7 h of flight. This paper presents the measured energy spectra and their ratio, H-2/H-1. The results are also compared with previous measurements and theoretical predictions. (c) 2012 COSPAR.

AB We demonstrate microchip nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (mu NACE) analysis of primary aliphatic amines (C1-C18) in ethanol down to -20 degrees C as a first step in adapting microfluidic protocols for in situ analysis on Titan. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a nonaqueous separation at 20 degrees C on-chip. Limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 1.0 nM to 2.6 nM, and we identified several primary amines ranging in length from C2 to C16 in Titan aerosol analogue (tholin) samples; new amines were also detected in a tholin sample exposed to oxygen and liquid water. This preliminary work validates the sensitivity and efficacy of microfluidic chemical analysis of complex organics with relevance to Titan aerosols and surface deposits.

AB A strong positive correlation between vegetation canopy bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) in the near infrared (NIR) spectral region and foliar mass-based nitrogen concentration (%N) has been reported in some temperate and boreal forests. This relationship, if true, would indicate an additional role for nitrogen in the climate system via its influence on surface albedo and may offer a simple approach for monitoring foliar nitrogen using satellite data. We report, however, that the previously reported correlation is an artifact-it is a consequence of variations in canopy structure, rather than of %N. The data underlying this relationship were collected at sites with varying proportions of foliar nitrogen-poor needleleaf and nitrogen-rich broadleaf species, whose canopy structure differs considerably. When the BRF data are corrected for canopy-structure effects, the residual reflectance variations are negatively related to %N at all wavelengths in the interval 423-855 nm. This suggests that the observed positive correlation between BRF and %N conveys no information about %N. We find that to infer leaf biochemical constituents, e.g., N content, from remotely sensed data, BRF spectra in the interval 710-790 nm provide critical information for correction of structural influences. Our analysis also suggests that surface characteristics of leaves impact remote sensing of its internal constituents. This further decreases the ability to remotely sense canopy foliar nitrogen. Finally, the analysis presented here is generic to the problem of remote sensing of leaf-tissue constituents and is therefore not a specific critique of articles espousing remote sensing of foliar %N.

AB In this paper, we describe primary and secondary microstructures and textural characteristics found in lunar zircon and discuss the relationships between these features and the zircon U-Pb isotopic systems and the significance of these features for understanding lunar processes. Lunar zircons can be classified according to: (i) textural relationships between zircon and surrounding minerals in the host breccias, (ii) the internal microstructures of the zircon grains as identified by optical microscopy, cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) mapping and (iii) results of in situ ion microprobe analyses of the Th-U-Pb isotopic systems. Primary zircon can occur as part of a cogenetic mineral assemblage (lithic clast) or as an individual mineral clast and is unzoned, or has sector and/or oscillatory zoning. The age of primary zircon is obtained when multiple ion microprobe analyses across the polished surface of the grain give reproducible and essentially concordant data. A secondary set of microstructures, superimposed on primary zircon, include localised recrystallised domains, localised amorphous domains, crystal-plastic deformation, planar deformation features and fractures, and are associated with impact processes. The first two secondary microstructures often yield internally consistent and close to concordant U-Pb ages that we interpret as dating impact events. Others secondary microstructures such as planar deformation features, crystal-plastic deformation and micro-fractures can provide channels for Pb diffusion and result in partial resetting of the U-Pb isotopic systems.

AB A program of verification and validation has been undertaken to assess the applicability of models to space radiation shielding applications and to track progress as these models are developed over time. In this work, simple validation metrics applicable to testing both model accuracy and consistency with experimental data are developed. The developed metrics treat experimental measurement uncertainty as an interval and are therefore applicable to cases in which epistemic uncertainty dominates the experimental data. To demonstrate the applicability of the metrics, nuclear physics models used by NASA for space radiation shielding applications are compared to an experimental database consisting of over 3600 experimental cross sections. A cumulative uncertainty metric is applied to the question of overall model accuracy, while a metric based on the median uncertainty is used to analyze the models from the perspective of model development by examining subsets of the model parameter space.

DT Article
ID ROOM-TEMPERATURE; SPECTROSCOPY; OPERATION
AB We demonstrate index-coupled distributed-feedback diode lasers at 2.65 mu m that are capable of tuning across strong absorption lines of HDO and other isotopologues of H2O. The lasers employ InGaAsSb/AlInGaAsSb multi-quantum-well structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaSb, and single-mode emission is generated using laterally coupled second-order Bragg gratings etched alongside narrow ridge waveguides. We verify near-critical coupling of the gratings by analyzing the modal characteristics of lasers of different length. With an emission facet anti-reflection coating, 2-mm-long lasers exhibit a typical current threshold of 150 mA at 20 degrees C and are capable of emitting more than 25 mW in a single longitudinal mode, which is significantly higher than the output power reported for loss-coupled distributed-feedback lasers operating at similar wavelengths.

AB Most modeling and statistical approaches encourage simplicity, yet ecological processes are often complex, as they are influenced by numerous dynamic environmental and biological factors. Pacific salmon abundance has been highly variable over the last few decades and most forecasting models have proven inadequate, primarily because of a lack of understanding of the processes affecting variability in survival. Better methods and data for predicting the abundance of returning adults are therefore required to effectively manage the species. We combined 31 distinct indicators of the marine environment collected over an 11-year period into a multivariate analysis to summarize and predict adult spring Chinook salmon returns to the Columbia River in 2012. In addition to forecasts, this tool quantifies the strength of the relationship between various ecological indicators and salmon returns, allowing interpretation of ecosystem processes. The relative importance of indicators varied, but a few trends emerged. Adult returns of spring Chinook salmon were best described using indicators of bottom-up ecological processes such as composition and abundance of zooplankton and fish prey as well as measures of individual fish, such as growth and condition. Local indicators of temperature or coastal upwelling did not contribute as much as large-scale indicators of temperature variability, matching the spatial scale over which salmon spend the majority of their ocean residence. Results suggest that effective management of Pacific salmon requires multiple types of data and that no single indicator can represent the complex early-ocean ecology of salmon.

AB We investigate the dependence of solar wind fluctuations measured by the Wind spacecraft on scale and on the degree of alignment between oppositely directed Elsasser fields. This alignment controls the strength of the nonlinear interactions and, therefore, the turbulence. We find that at scales larger than the outer scale of the turbulence the Elsasser fluctuations become on average more antialigned as the outer scale is approached from above. Conditioning structure functions using the alignment angle reveals turbulent scaling of unaligned fluctuations at scales previously believed to lie outside the turbulent cascade in the "1/f range.'' We argue that the 1/f range contains a mixture of a noninteracting antialigned population of Alfven waves and magnetic force-free structures plus a subdominant population of unaligned cascading turbulent fluctuations.

AB Continental runoff is a major source of freshwater, nutrients and terrigenous material to the Arctic Ocean. As such, it influences water column stratification, light attenuation, surface heating, gas exchange, biological productivity and carbon sequestration. Increasing river discharge and thawing permafrost suggest that the impacts of continental runoff on these processes are changing. Here, a new optical proxy was developed and implemented with remote sensing to determine the first pan-Arctic distribution of terrigenous dissolved organic matter (tDOM) and continental runoff in the surface Arctic Ocean. Retrospective analyses revealed connections between the routing of North American runoff and the recent freshening of the Canada Basin, and indicated a correspondence between climate-driven changes in river discharge and tDOM inventories in the Kara Sea. By facilitating the real-time, synoptic monitoring of tDOM and freshwater runoff in surface polar waters, this novel approach will help understand the manifestations of climate change in this remote region.

AB In recent years, detailed observations and accurate numerical simulations have provided support to the idea that mergers of compact binaries containing either two neutron stars (NSs) or an NS and a black hole (BH) may constitute the central engine of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs). The merger of such compact binaries is expected to lead to the production of a spinning BH surrounded by an accreting torus. Several mechanisms can extract energy from this system and power the SGRBs. Here we connect observations and numerical simulations of compact binary mergers, and use the current sample of SGRBs with measured energies to constrain the mass of their powering tori. By comparing the masses of the tori with the results of fully general-relativistic simulations, we are able to infer the properties of the binary progenitors that yield SGRBs. By assuming a constant efficiency in converting torus mass into jet energy, epsilon(jet) = 10%, we find that most of the tori have masses smaller than 0.01 M-circle dot, favoring "high-mass" binary NSs mergers, i.e., binaries with total masses greater than or similar to 1.5 the maximum mass of an isolated NS. This has important consequences for the gravitational wave signals that may be detected in association with SGRBs, since "high-mass" systems do not form a long-lived hypermassive NS after the merger. While NS-BH systems cannot be excluded to be the engine of at least some of the SGRBs, the BH would need to have an initial spin of similar to 0.9 or higher.

AB The upcoming new generation of spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys will provide large samples of cosmic voids, large distinct, underdense structures in the universe. Combining these with future galaxy imaging surveys, we study the prospects of probing the underlying matter distribution in and around cosmic voids via the weak gravitational lensing effects of stacked voids, utilizing both shear and magnification information. The statistical precision is greatly improved by stacking a large number of voids along different lines of sight, even when taking into account the impact of inherent miscentering and projection effects. We show that Dark Energy Task Force Stage IV surveys, such as the Euclid satellite and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, should be able to detect the void lensing signal with sufficient precision from stacking abundant medium-sized voids, thus providing direct constraints on the matter density profile of voids independent of assumptions on galaxy bias.

AB We perform a strong lensing analysis of the merging galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 (M0416; z = 0.42) in recent CLASH/HST observations. We identify 70 new multiple images and candidates of 23 background sources in the range 0.7 less than or similar to z(phot) less than or similar to 6.14 including two probable high-redshift dropouts, revealing a highly elongated lens with axis ratio similar or equal to 5:1, and a major axis of similar to 100 '' (z(s) similar to 2). Compared to other well-studied clusters, M0416 shows an enhanced lensing efficiency. Although the critical area is not particularly large (similar or equal to 0.6 square'; z(s) similar to 2), the number of multiple images, per critical area, is anomalously high. We calculate that the observed elongation boosts the number of multiple images, per critical area, by a factor of similar to 2.5x, due to the increased ratio of the caustic area relative to the critical area. Additionally, we find that the observed separation between the two main mass components enlarges the critical area by a factor of similar to 2. These geometrical effects can account for the high number (density) of multiple images observed. We find in numerical simulations that only similar to 4% of the clusters (with M-vir >= 6 x 10(14) h(-1) M-circle dot) exhibit critical curves as elongated as in M0416.

AB Three improved ground-viewing radiometers were built to support the Radiometric Calibration Test Site (RadCaTS) developed by the Remote Sensing Group (RSG) at the University of Arizona. Improved over previous light-emitting diode based versions, these filter-based radiometers employ seven silicon detectors and one InGaAs detector covering a wavelength range of 400-1550 nm. They are temperature controlled and designed for greater stability and lower noise. The radiometer systems show signal-to-noise ratios of greater than 1000 for all eight channels at typical field calibration signal levels. Predeployment laboratory radiance calibrations using a 1 m spherical integrating source compare well with in situ field calibrations using the solar radiation based calibration method; all bands are within +/- 2.7% for the case tested.

TI Far-infrared spectroscopy of the troposphere: instrument description and

DT Article
AB The far-infrared spectroscopy of the troposphere (FIRST) instrument is a Fourier transform spectrometer developed to measure the Earth's thermal emission spectrum with a particular emphasis on far-infrared (far-IR) wavelengths greater than 15 mu m. FIRST was developed under NASA's Instrument Incubator Program to demonstrate technology for providing measurements from 10 to 100 mu m (1000 to 100 cm(-1)) on a single focal plane with a spectral resolution finer than 1 cm(-1). Presently no spectrometers in orbit are capable of directly observing the Earth's far-IR spectrum. This fact, coupled with the fundamental importance of the far-IR to Earth's climate system, provided the impetus for the development of FIRST. In this paper the FIRST instrument is described and results of a detailed absolute laboratory calibration are presented. Specific channels in FIRST are shown to be accurate in the far-IR to better than 0.3 K at 270 K scene temperature, 0.5 K at 247 K, and 1 K at 225 K. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America

AB The propensity for various high-temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMA), i.e., Ni28.5Ti50.5Pt21,Ni24.5Ti50.5Pd25 and Ni24.5Ti50Pd25Sc0.5, to exhibit two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) was compared to that of a conventional binary Ni49.9Ti50.1 shape memory alloy (SMA). Thermomechanical training in the form of thermal cycling under constant stress levels was employed to induce two-way shape memory behavior in the various materials. The resulting TWSME was characterized for its magnitude and stability under stress-free conditions, while parameters such as training stress and upper cycle temperature during training were investigated for their influence on this phenomenon. For Ni49.9Ti50.1, a negative correlation was found between an increasing training stress, from 80 MPa to 200 MPa, and the magnitude of the resulting TWSM strain, while a positive correlation was observed for Ni24.5Ti50.5Pd25 and Ni24.5Ti50Pd25SC0.5. The stability of the TWSME for the Ni49.9Ti50.1. measured by the strain evolution of the cold (martensitic) and hot (austenitic) shapes of the samples upon stress-free thermal cycling, was found to depend on the stress and temperature interval during training. Conversely, the stability of the NiTiPd based HTSMAs was much greater and less sensitive to these parameters over the stress and temperature intervals investigated. No TWSME was seen in Ni28.5Ti50.5Pt21 due to the higher upper cycle temperatures required during thermal cycling, which resulted in the recovery of any favorable dislocation structures generated during training.

ID TIME
AB We present a realization of astronomical relativistic reference frames in the Solar System and its application to the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. We model the necessary space-time coordinate transformations for light-trip time computations and address some practical aspects of the implementation of the resulting model. We develop all the relevant relativistic coordinate transformations that are needed to describe the motion of the GRAIL spacecraft and to compute all observable quantities. We take into account major relativistic effects contributing to the dual one-way range observable, which is derived from one-way signal travel times between the two GRAIL spacecrafts. We develop a general relativistic model for this fundamental observable of GRAIL, accurate to 1 mu m. We develop and present a relativistic model for another key observable of this experiment, the dual one-way range rate, accurate to 1 mu m/s. The presented formulation justifies the basic assumptions behind the design of the GRAIL mission. It may also be used to further improve the already impressive results of this lunar gravity recovery experiment after the mission is complete. Finally, we present transformation rules for frequencies and gravitational potentials and their application to GRAIL. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.024020

AB We report on the detection of a very rapid TeV gamma-ray flare from BL Lacertae on 2011 June 28 with the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS). The flaring activity was observed during a 34.6 minute exposure, when the integral flux above 200 GeV reached (3.4 +/- 0.6) x 10(-6) photons m(-2) s(-1), roughly 125% of the Crab Nebula flux measured by VERITAS. The light curve indicates that the observations missed the rising phase of the flare but covered a significant portion of the decaying phase. The exponential decay time was determined to be 13 +/- 4 minutes, making it one of the most rapid gamma-ray flares seen from a TeV blazar. The gamma-ray spectrum of BL Lacertae during the flare was soft, with a photon index of 3.6 +/- 0.4, which is in agreement with the measurement made previously by MAGIC in a lower flaring state. Contemporaneous radio observations of the source with the Very Long Baseline Array revealed the emergence of a new, superluminal component from the core around the time of the TeV gamma-ray flare, accompanied by changes in the optical polarization angle. Changes in flux also appear to have occurred at optical, UV, and GeV gamma-ray wavelengths at the time of the flare, although they are difficult to quantify precisely due to sparse coverage. A strong flare was seen at radio wavelengths roughly four months later, which might be related to the gamma-ray flaring activities. We discuss the implications of these multiwavelength results.

AB The entire profile of the Fe XXIII line at 263.8 angstrom, formed at temperature approximate to 14 MK, was blueshifted by an upward velocity -122 +/- 33 km s(-1) when it was first detected by the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer operating in rapid cadence (11.18 s) stare mode during a C1 solar flare. The entire profile became even more blueshifted over the next two exposures, when the upward velocity reached its maximum of -208 +/- 14 km s(-1) before decreasing to zero over the next 12 exposures. After that, a weak, secondary blueshifted component appeared for five exposures, reached a maximum upward velocity of -206 +/- 33 km s(-1), and disappeared after the maximum line intensity (stationary plus blueshifted) was achieved. Velocities were measured relative to the intense stationary profile observed near the flare's peak and early during its decline. The initial episode during which the entire profile was blueshifted lasted about 156 s, while the following episode during which a secondary blueshifted component was detected lasted about 56 s. The first episode likely corresponds to chromospheric evaporation in a single loop strand, while the second corresponds to evaporation in an additional strand, as described in multi-strand flare loop models proposed by Hori et al. and Warren & Doschek. Line emission from progressively cooler ions (Fe XVII, XVI, and XIV) brightened at successively later times, consistent with cooling of flare-heated plasma.

AB We present an analysis of high-precision pulsar timing data taken as part of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) project. We have observed 17 pulsars for a span of roughly five years using the Green Bank and Arecibo radio telescopes. We analyze these data using standard pulsar timing models, with the addition of time-variable dispersion measure and frequency-variable pulse shape terms. Sub-microsecond timing residuals are obtained in nearly all cases, and the best rms timing residuals in this set are similar to 30-50 ns. We present methods for analyzing post-fit timing residuals for the presence of a gravitational wave signal with a specified spectral shape. These optimally take into account the timing fluctuation power removed by the model fit, and can be applied to either data from a single pulsar, or to a set of pulsars to detect a correlated signal. We apply these methods to our data set to set an upper limit on the strength of the nHz-frequency stochastic supermassive black hole gravitational wave background of h(c)(1 yr(-1)) < 7 x 10(-15) (95%). This result is dominated by the timing of the two best pulsars in the set, PSRs J1713+0747 and J1909-3744.

AB The A B-1(1) <- (X) over tilde (1)A' excitation into the dipole-bound state of the cyanomethyl anion (CH2CN-) has been hypothesized as the carrier for one diffuse interstellar band. However, this particular molecular system has not been detected in the interstellar medium even though the related cyanomethyl radical and the isoelectronic ketenimine molecule have been found. In this study, we are employing the use of proven quartic force fields and second-order vibrational perturbation theory to compute accurate spectroscopic constants and fundamental vibrational frequencies for (X) over tilde (1)A' CH2CN- in order to assist in laboratory studies and astronomical observations.

AB The meridional flow in the Sun is an axisymmetric flow that is generally directed poleward at the surface, and is presumed to be of fundamental importance in the generation and transport of magnetic fields. Its true shape and strength, however, are debated. We present a numerical simulation of helioseismic wave propagation in the whole solar interior in the presence of a prescribed, stationary, single-cell, deep meridional circulation serving as synthetic data for helioseismic measurement techniques. A deep-focusing time-distance helioseismology technique is applied to the synthetic data, showing that it can in fact be used to measure the effects of the meridional flow very deep in the solar convection zone. It is shown that the ray approximation that is commonly used for interpretation of helioseismology measurements remains a reasonable approximation even for very long distances between 12 degrees and 42 degrees corresponding to depths between 52 and 195 Mm. From the measurement noise, we extrapolate that time-resolved observations on the order of a full solar cycle may be needed to probe the flow all the way to the base of the convection zone.

TI REGULATION OF BLACK HOLE WINDS AND JETS ACROSS THE MASS SCALE

AB We present a study of the mechanical power generated by both winds and jets across the black hole mass scale. We begin with the study of ionized X-ray winds and present a uniform analysis using Chandra grating spectra. The high-quality grating spectra facilitate the characterization of the outflow velocity, ionization, and column density of the absorbing gas. We find that the kinetic power of the winds, derived from these observed quantities, scales with increasing bolometric luminosity as log(L-wind,L-42/C-v) = (1.58 +/- 0.07) log(L-Bol,L-42) - (3.19 +/- 0.19). This suggests that supermassive black holes may be more efficient than stellar-mass black holes in launching winds, per unit filling factor, C-v. If the black hole binary (BHB) and active galactic nucleus (AGN) samples are fit individually, the slopes flatten to alpha(BHB) = 0.91 +/- 0.31 and alpha(AGN) = 0.63 +/- 0.30 (formally consistent within errors). The broad fit and individual fits both characterize the data fairly well, and the possibility of common slopes may point to common driving mechanisms across the mass scale. For comparison, we examine jet production, estimating jet power based on the energy required to inflate local bubbles. The jet relation is log(L-Jet,L-42) = (1.18 +/- 0.24) log(L-Bondi,L-42) - (0.96 +/- 0.43). The energetics of the bubble associated with Cygnus X-1 are particularly difficult to determine, and the bubble could be a background supernova remnant. If we exclude Cygnus X-1 from our fits, then the jets follow a relation consistent with the winds, but with a higher intercept, log(L-Jet,L-42) = (1.34 +/- 0.50) log(L-Bondi,L-42) - (0.80 +/- 0.82). The formal consistency in the wind and jet scaling relations, when assuming that L-Bol and L-Bondi are both proxies for mass accretion rate, suggests that a common launching mechanism may drive both flows; magnetic processes, such as magnetohydrodynamics and magnetocentrifugal forces, are viable possibilities. We also examine winds that are moving at especially high velocities, v > 0.01c. These ultra-fast outflows tend to resemble the jets more than the winds in terms of outflow power, indicating that we may be observing a regime in which winds become jets. A transition at approximately L-Bol approximate to 10(-2) L-Edd is apparent when outflow power is plotted versus Eddington fraction. At low Eddington fractions, the jet power is dominant, and at high Eddington fractions, the wind power is dominant. This study allows for the total power from black hole accretion, both mechanical and radiative, to be characterized in a simple manner and suggests possible connections between winds and jets. X-ray wind data and jet cavity data will enable stronger tests.

AB We combine far-infrared photometry from Herschel (PEP/HerMES) with deep mid-infrared spectroscopy from Spitzer to investigate the nature and the mass assembly history of a sample of 31 luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies ((U)LIRGs) at z similar to 1 and 2 selected in GOODS-S with 24 mu m fluxes between 0.2 and 0.5 mJy. We model the data with a self-consistent physical model (GRASIL) which includes a state-of-the-art treatment of dust extinction and reprocessing. We find that all of our galaxies appear to require massive populations of old (>1 Gyr) stars and, at the same time, to host a moderate ongoing activity of star formation (SFR <= 100 M-circle dot yr(-1)). The bulk of the stars appear to have been formed a few Gyr before the observation in essentially all cases. Only five galaxies of the sample require a recent starburst superimposed on a quiescent star formation history. We also find discrepancies between our results and those based on optical-only spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting for the same objects; by fitting their observed SEDs with our physical model we find higher extinctions (by Delta A(V) similar to 0.81 and 1.14) and higher stellar masses (by Delta log(M-*) similar to 0.16 and 0.36 dex) for z similar to 1 and z similar to 2 (U)LIRGs, respectively. The stellar mass difference is larger for the most dust-obscured objects. We also find lower SFRs than those computed from LIR using the Kennicutt relation due to the significant contribution to the dust heating by intermediate-age stellar populations through "cirrus" emission (similar to 73% and similar to 66% of the total L-IR for z similar to 1 and z similar to 2 (U)LIRGs, respectively).

AB We present astrometric measurements of 11 nearby ultracool brown dwarfs of spectral types Y and late-T, based on imaging observations from a variety of space-based and ground-based telescopes. These measurements have been used to estimate relative parallaxes and proper motions via maximum likelihood fitting of geometric model curves. To compensate for the modest statistical significance (less than or similar to 7) of our parallax measurements we have employed a novel Bayesian procedure for distance estimation which makes use of an a priori distribution of tangential velocities, V-tan, assumed similar to that implied by previous observations of T dwarfs. Our estimated distances are therefore somewhat dependent on that assumption. Nevertheless, the results have yielded distances for five of our eight Y dwarfs and all three T dwarfs. Estimated distances in all cases are greater than or similar to 3 pc. In addition, we have obtained significant estimates of V-tan for two of the Y dwarfs; both are <100 km s(-1), consistent with membership in the thin disk population. Comparison of absolute magnitudes with model predictions as a function of color shows that the Y dwarfs are significantly redder in J - H than predicted by a cloud-free model.

AB A number of relaxed, cool-core galaxy clusters exhibit diffuse, steep-spectrum radio sources in their central regions, known as radio mini-halos. It has been proposed that the relativistic electrons responsible for the emission have been reaccelerated by turbulence generated by the sloshing of the cool core gas. We present a high-resolution MHD simulation of gas sloshing in a galaxy cluster coupled with subgrid simulations of relativistic electron acceleration to test this hypothesis. Our simulation shows that the sloshing motions generate turbulence on the order of delta nu similar to 50-200 km s (1) on spatial scales of similar to 50-100 kpc and below in the cool core region within the envelope of the sloshing cold fronts, whereas outside the cold fronts, there is negligible turbulence. This turbulence is potentially strong enough to reaccelerate relativistic electron seeds (with initial gamma similar to 100-500) to gamma similar to 10(4) via damping of magnetosonic waves and non-resonant compression. The seed electrons could remain in the cluster from, e. g., past active galactic nucleus activity. In combination with the magnetic field amplification in the core, these electrons then produce diffuse radio synchrotron emission that is coincident with the region bounded by the sloshing cold fronts, as indeed observed in X-rays and the radio. The result holds for different initial spatial distributions of pre-existing relativistic electrons. The power and the steep spectral index (alpha approximate to 1-2) of the resulting radio emission are consistent with observations of mini-halos, though the theoretical uncertainties of the acceleration mechanisms are high. We also produce simulated maps of inverse-Compton hard X-ray emission from the same population of relativistic electrons.

TI COLD FRONTS AND GAS SLOSHING IN GALAXY CLUSTERS WITH ANISOTROPIC THERMAL

AB Cold fronts in cluster cool cores should be erased on short timescales by thermal conduction, unless protected by magnetic fields that are "draped" parallel to the front surfaces, suppressing conduction perpendicular to the sloshing fronts. We present a series of MHD simulations of cold front formation in the core of a galaxy cluster with anisotropic thermal conduction, exploring a parameter space of conduction strengths parallel and perpendicular to the field lines. Including conduction has a strong effect on the temperature distribution of the core and the appearance of the cold fronts. Though magnetic field lines are draping parallel to the front surfaces, preventing conduction directly across them, the temperature jumps across the fronts are nevertheless reduced. The geometry of the field is such that the cold gas below the front surfaces can be connected to hotter regions outside via field lines along directions perpendicular to the plane of the sloshing motions and along sections of the front that are not perfectly draped. This results in the heating of this gas below the front on a timescale of a Gyr, but the sharpness of the density and temperature jumps may nevertheless be preserved. By modifying the gas density distribution below the front, conduction may indirectly aid in suppressing Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. If conduction along the field lines is unsuppressed, we find that the characteristic sharp jumps seen in Chandra observations of cold front clusters do not form. Therefore, the presence of cold fronts in hot clusters is in contradiction with our simulations with full Spitzer conduction. This suggests that the presence of cold fronts in hot clusters could be used to place upper limits on conduction in the bulk of the intracluster medium. Finally, the combination of sloshing and anisotropic thermal conduction can result in a larger flux of heat to the core than either process in isolation. While still not sufficient to prevent a cooling catastrophe in the very central (r similar to 5 kpc) regions of the cool core (where something else is required, such as active galactic nucleus feedback), it reduces significantly the mass of gas that experiences a cooling catastrophe outside those small radii.

AB Recent Amazonian droughts have drawn attention to the vulnerability of tropical forests to climate perturbations. Satellite and in situ observations have shown an increase in fire occurrence during drought years and tree mortality following severe droughts, but to date there has been no assessment of long-term impacts of these droughts across landscapes in Amazonia. Here, we use satellite microwave observations of rainfall and canopy backscatter to show that more than 70 million hectares of forest in western Amazonia experienced a strong water deficit during the dry season of 2005 and a closely corresponding decline in canopy structure and moisture. Remarkably, and despite the gradual recovery in total rainfall in subsequent years, the decrease in canopy backscatter persisted until the next major drought, in 2010. The decline in backscatter is attributed to changes in structure and water content associated with the forest upper canopy. The persistence of low backscatter supports the slow recovery (>4 y) of forest canopy structure after the severe drought in 2005. The result suggests that the occurrence of droughts in Amazonia at 5-10 y frequency may lead to persistent alteration of the forest canopy.

TI Lateral distribution of muons in IceCube cosmic ray events
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D
LA English
DT Article
ID ENERGIES; GLUON; MODEL; TEV
AB In cosmic ray air showers, the muon lateral separation from the center of the shower is a measure of the transverse momentum that the muon parent acquired in the cosmic ray interaction. IceCube has observed cosmic ray interactions that produce muons laterally separated by up to 400 m from the shower core, a factor of 6 larger distance than previous measurements. These muons originate in high p(T) (> 2 GeV/c) interactions from the incident cosmic ray, or high-energy secondary interactions. The separation distribution shows a transition to a power law at large values, indicating the presence of a hard p(T) component that can be described by perturbative quantum chromodynamics. However, the rates and the zenith angle distributions of these events are not well reproduced with the cosmic ray models tested here, even those that include charm interactions. This discrepancy may be explained by a larger fraction of kaons and charmed particles than is currently incorporated in the simulations. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.012005

AB Many fishes make frequent ascents to surface waters and often show prolonged surface swimming following descents to deep water. This affinity for the surface is thought to be related to the recovery of body heat lost at depth. We tested this hypothesis using data from time-depth recorders deployed on four whale sharks (Rhincodon typus). We summarized vertical movements into bouts of dives and classified these into three main types, using cluster analysis. In addition to day and night 'bounce' dives where sharks rapidly descended and ascended, we found a third type: single deep (mean: 340 m), long (mean: 169 min) dives, occurring in daytime with extremely long post-dive surface durations (mean: 146 min). Only sharks that were not constrained by shallow bathymetry performed these dives. We found a negative relationship between the mean surface duration of dives in the bout and the mean minimum temperature of dives in the bout that is consistent with the hypothesis that thermoregulation was a major factor driving use of the surface. The relationship broke down when sharks were diving in mean minimum temperatures around 25 degrees C, suggesting that warmer waters did not incur a large metabolic cost for diving and that other factors may also influence surface use.

AB The marked increase in the use of composite and sandwich material systems in aerospace, civil, and marine structures leads to the need for integrated Structural Health Management systems. A key capability to enable such systems is the real-time reconstruction of structural deformations, stresses, and failure criteria that are inferred from in-situ, discrete-location strain measurements. This technology is commonly referred to as shape-and stress-sensing. Presented herein is a computationally efficient shape-and stress-sensing methodology that is ideally suited for applications to laminated composite and sandwich structures. The new approach employs the inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) as a general framework and the Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT) as the underlying plate theory. A three-node inverse plate finite element is formulated. The element formulation enables robust and efficient modeling of plate structures instrumented with strain sensors that have arbitrary positions. The methodology leads to a set of linear algebraic equations that are solved efficiently for the unknown nodal displacements. These displacements are then used at the finite element level to compute full-field strains, stresses, and failure criteria that are in turn used to assess structural integrity. Numerical results for multilayered, highly heterogeneous laminates demonstrate the unique capability of this new formulation for shape-and stress-sensing.

ID DEFORMATION-THEORY; MODELS; BEAMS
AB The Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT) enables accurate predictions of the in-plane displacements, strains, and stresses. The transverse shear stresses obtained from constitutive equations are layer-wise constant. Although these transverse shear stresses are generally accurate in the average, layer-wise sense, they are nevertheless discontinuous at layer interfaces, and thus they violate the requisite interlaminar continuity of transverse stresses. Recently, Tessler applied Reissner's mixed variational theorem and RZT kinematic assumptions to derive an accurate and efficient shear-deformation theory for homogeneous, laminated composite, and sandwich beams, called RZT((m)), where "m" stands for "mixed". Herein, the RZT((m)) for beams is extended to plate analysis, where two alternative assumptions for the transverse shear stresses field are examined: the first follows Tessler's formulation, whereas the second is based on Murakami's polynomial approach. Results for elasto-static simply supported and cantilever plates demonstrate that Tessler's formulation results in a powerful and efficient structural theory that is well-suited for the analysis of multilayered composite and sandwich panels.

AB The process responsible for the Chandra-detected X-ray emission from the large-scale jets of powerful quasars is not clear yet. The two main models are inverse Compton scattering off the cosmic microwave background photons (IC/CMB) and synchrotron emission from a population of electrons separate from those producing the radio-IR emission. These two models imply radically different conditions in the large scale jet in terms of jet speed, kinetic power, and maximum energy of the particle acceleration mechanism, with important implications for the impact of the jet on the larger-scale environment. Georganopoulos et al. (2006) proposed a diagnostic based on a fundamental difference between these two models: the production of synchrotron X-rays requires multi-TeV electrons, while the EC/CMB model requires a cutoff in the electron energy distribution below TeV energies. This has significant implications for the gamma-ray emission predicted by these two models. Here we present new Fermi observations that put an upper limit on the gamma-ray flux from the large-scale jet of 3C 273 that clearly violates the flux expected from the IC/CMB X-ray interpretation found by extrapolation of the UV to X-ray spectrum of knot A, thus ruling out the IC/CMB interpretation entirely for this source. Further, the upper limit from Fermi puts a limit on the Doppler beaming factor of at least delta<9, assuming equipartition fields, and possibly as low as delta<5 assuming no major deceleration of the jet from knots A through D1.

AB We present preliminary results of the X-ray analysis of XMM-Newton and Swift observations as part of a multi-wavelength monitoring campaign in 2012 of the radio-loud narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy PKS 2004-447. The source was recently detected in gamma-rays by Fermi/LAT among only four other galaxies of that type. The 0.5 - 10 keV X-ray spectrum is well-described by a simple absorbed powerlaw (Gamma similar to 1.6). The source brightness exhibits variability on timescales of months to years with indications for spectral variability, which follows a "bluer-when-brighter" behaviour, similar to blazars.

AB We present our generic neural network training algorithm, called SKYNET and the accelerated Bayesian inference algorithm, BAMBI. SKYNET combines multiple techniques already developed individually in the literature to create an efficient and robust machine-learning tool that is able to train large and deep feed-forward neural networks for use in a wide range of learning applications, such as regression, classification, density estimation, clustering and dimensionality reduction. SKYNET uses a powerful 'pre-training' method, to obtain a set of network parameters close to the true global maximum of the training objective function, followed by further optimisation using an automatically-regularised variant of Newton's method that uses second-order derivative information to improve convergence, but without the need to evaluate or store the full Hessian matrix, by using a fast approximate method to calculate Hessian-vector products. This combination of methods allows for the training of complicated networks that are difficult to optimise using standard backpropagation techniques. The blind accelerated multimodal Bayesian inference (BAMBI) algorithm implements the MULTINEST package for nested sampling as well as the training of an artificial neural network by SKYNET to learn the likelihood function. In the case of computationally expensive likelihoods, this allows the substitution of a much more rapid approximation in order to increase significantly the speed of the analysis. Astrophysical examples are provided for both SKYNET and BAMBI.

AB In this paper we present a multi-agent reactive planning mechanism for recovering from plan failures with the help of multiple agents. Our contribution is twofold: a proposal of a dynamic execution architecture embedded into a more general multi-agent planning framework, and a mechanism based on statetransition systems that allows execution agents to reactively and cooperatively attend a plan failure during execution. Specifically, we propose a flexible dynamic execution architecture that allows agents to find solutions for a successful plan execution during a plan failure.

AB Among many human-related sectors, agriculture is often the first and most vulnerable sector to be affected by drought events. In 2012, nearly two-thirds of the contiguous U. S. had been hit by severe drought. The Great Plains had most severe drought conditions, with states such as Nebraska suffering successive and widespread exceptional drought. In Nebraska, where grain and soybean account for nearly 90 percent of agricultural output, the 2012 exceptional drought profoundly and distinctly affected local agricultural productivity.
In this study, MODIS-based Vegetation Health Index (VHI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were used to monitor agricultural drought in Nebraska during the corn-growing season of 2012. The temporal variations and spatial features of drought captured by both of indices were analyzed. Results showed that both VHI and NDVI Anomaly could capture drought development quite well, and spatial similarities were found between VHI and NDVI Anomaly drought maps for most agricultural areas.

AB Remote sensing imagery at medium spatial resolution (30-60m) like Landsat and AWiFS have been widely used in mapping crop types and monitoring crop conditions. Angular effects from wide swath remote sensing data have been observed. This paper examines the influence of angular effects on surface reflectance of typical surface and crop types for both narrow swath (e.g. Landsat) and wide swath (e.g. AWiFS) sensors. A bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) look-up table (LUT) for surface types from cropland data layer (CDL) was established. A LUT-based approach is proposed to correct angular effects for crops and natural vegetations. The angular corrected reflectance will provide a consistent data source for crop condition monitoring and long-term time-series analysis.

ID VEGETATION
AB Satellite remotely sensed visible and infrared surface reflectance measurements are utilized to detect long-term changes of vegetation drought conditions in the horn of Africa from 2000 to early 2013. The horn of Africa area has been experiencing drought problems due to the warming of the Indian Ocean, which produces hot and dry air that descend across the area. A region of interests (ROI) is defined based on MODIS land surface reflectance 8-day L3 Global 500m (MOD09A1) product, which covers most of the horn of Africa area. The ROI is defined by latitudes from 0 to 10 degrees and longitudes from 40 to 51 degrees excluding the ocean area. Based on a land classification scheme, the ROI is composed of mostly open shrub land, barren land and some grass land.
The MODIS reflective solar band observations are utilized to measure well-known indexes called normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference water index (NDWI). A linear regression of the filtered data shows that the NDWI has non-negligible degradation over the thirteen years observation period approximately from -0.05 to -0.10, whereas NDVI remained the same level. The NDWI long-term degradation indicates the portion of soil over vegetation has been increased because of the dry condition in the ROL On top of the degradation, a recent NDWI value in early 2013 shows a significant drop from the linear trend, which signifies that there is a recent severe drought condition on-going in the horn of Africa. Utilizing hypothesis testing, we show that the NDWI provides more statistically meaningful information than the NDVI. It suggests that NDWI is a better drought indicator over in the Horn of Africa areas. The results also show that the ROI is mostly affected by the long-term drought condition especially during the second yearly growing season from September to December.

DE Irrigation; Regional Climate Modeling; Southern Great Plains; WRF
AB Irrigation represents the largest consumption of freshwater in the United States and has been shown to modify local hydrology and regional climate. This study utilizes both the Land Information System (LIS) and the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) to investigate changes in land-atmosphere interactions resulting from drip, flood, and sprinkler irrigation methods in the Southern Great Plains. Five-year irrigated LIS spin-ups are used to initialize two-day WRF forecasts in relatively dry and wet years (2006 and 2008, respectively). The offline and coupled simulation results show that both LIS spin-ups and LIS-WRF forecasts are sensitive to irrigation and irrigation methods, as exhibited by significant changes to temperature, soil moisture, boundary layer height, and the partitioning of latent and sensible heat fluxes. Dry year impacts are greater than those in the wet year suggesting that the magnitude of these changes is dependent on the existing precipitation regime. Sprinkler and flood irrigation schemes impact the LIS-WRF forecast the most, while drip irrigation has a comparatively small effect.

AB The ultraviolet (UV) Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), launched on NASA's Aura satellite in July 2004, was the first space-based sensor to provide operational sulphur dioxide (SO2) measurements (OMSO2) for use by the scientific community. Herein, we discuss the application of OMSO2 data for the monitoring of global volcanic SO2 emissions, with an emphasis on lower tropospheric volcanic plumes. We review the algorithms used to produce OMSO2 data and highlight some key measurement sensitivity issues. The data processing scheme used to generate web-based OMSO2 data subsets for volcanic regions and estimate SO2 burdens in volcanic plumes is outlined. We describe three techniques to derive SO2 emission rates from the OMSO2 measurements, and employ one method (using single OMI pixels to estimate SO2 fluxes) to elucidate SO2 flux detection thresholds on a global scale. Applications of OMSO2 data to volcanic degassing studies are demonstrated using four case studies. These examples show how OMSO2 measurements correlate with changes in eruptive activity at Kilauea volcano (Hawaii), constrain small, potentially significant SO2 releases from reawakening, historically inactive volcanoes, track long-term changes in SO2 degassing from Nyiragongo volcano (D.R. Congo), and detect SO2 emissions from the remote Lastarria Volcano (Chile), in the actively deforming Lazufre region.

AB Scientific knowledge of transient and difficult-to-access airborne volcanic emissions comes primarily from remote sensing observations, and a few in situ data from sporadic heroic or inadvertent airborne encounters. In the past, patchy knowledge of the composition and behaviour of such plumes from explosive volcanic eruptions, and associated drifting ash and gas clouds, have centrally contributed to unwanted and dangerous aircraft encounters that have put crews at risk and, in some cases, greatly damaged aircraft. Thus, improved knowledge of boundary conditions and plume composition, as inputs to both mass retrieval and predictive models for cloud trajectories, would be of benefit.
In this paper, we describe how small robotic unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs) can address a variety of measurements that are typically beyond the reach of, and sometimes too dangerous for, manned aircraft. The direct measurements and sampling that can be achieved by sUAVs address serious gaps in knowledge of volcanic processes, and provide important validation data for estimations of volcanogenic ash and gas concentrations gleaned using remote sensing techniques. These data, in turn, constrain key proximal and distal boundary conditions for aerosol and gas transport models on which are based a number of decisions and evaluations by hazard responders and regulatory agencies.
We briefly describe a case study from our ongoing field study at Turrialba Volcano in Costa Rica, where we are conducting an international campaign of systematic airborne in situ measurements of volcanogenic SO2 and other gases, as well as aerosols, with sUAVs and aerostats (e.g. tethered balloons and kites), in conjunction with data acquisitions by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection (ASTER) radiometer onboard the NASA Terra Earth orbital platform. To our knowledge, this is the first such systematic in situ UAV- and aerostat-based observation programme for SO2 and particulates in a volcanic plume for correlation with orbital data. We preliminarily report good agreement between our UAV/aerostat and ASTER SO2 retrievals within a 5 km radius of the volcano summit, at altitudes of up to 12 500 ft (c. 3850 m) above sea level (asl) for concentrations within the range of 5-20 ppmv (ppm by volume). Additional work continues.

AB In this paper, the design and characterization of a cryogenic eight-channel pixel combiner circuit designed to read-out superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) is presented. The circuit is designed to amplify, digitize, edge detect, and combine the output signals of an array of eight SNSPDs. The design has been enabled by the development of novel large-signal cryogenic HBT simulation models. The circuit has been fabricated and measurement results demonstrate excellent agreement with simulation.

AB Shift is a lightweight framework for high performance local and remote file transfers that provides resiliency across a wide variety of failure scenarios. Shift supports multiple file transport protocols with automatic selection of the most appropriate mechanism between each pair of participating hosts allowing it to adapt to heterogeneous clients with differing software and network access restrictions. File system information is gathered from clients and servers to detect file system equivalence and enable path rewriting so that multiple clients can be automatically spawned in parallel to carry out both single and multi-file transfers to multiple servers selected according to load and availability. This improves both reliability and performance by eliminating single points of failure and overcoming single system bottlenecks. End-to-end integrity is provided using cryptographic hashes at the source and destination with support for partial file retransmission of only corrupted portions. This paper presents the design and implementation of Shift and details the mechanisms utilized to enhance the reliability and performance of file transfers.

AB Faults in software systems can have different characteristics. In an earlier paper, the anomaly reports for a number of JPL/NASA missions were analyzed and the underlying faults were classified as Bohrbugs, non-aging-related Mandelbugs, and aging-related bugs. In another paper the times to failure for each of these fault types were examined to identify trends within missions as well as across the missions. The results of those papers are now starting to provide guidance to improve the dependability of space mission software.
Just as there are different types of faults, there are different kinds of mitigations of faults and failures. This paper analyzes the mitigations associated with each fault studied in our previous papers. We identify trends of mitigation type proportions within missions as well as from mission to mission. We also look for relationships between fault types and mitigation types. The results will be used to increase the reliability of space mission software.

AB We explore graded index antireflection coatings that can reduce reflection of light at the ambient/cell or ambient/module boundary at all wavelengths and incidence angles. Simulations show that graded index coatings individually enhance absorption in solar cells across nearly the entire wavelength range. Silica sol-gel coatings with varying refractive indices deposited onto glass and silicon substrates are used to form graded index coatings, and the sol-gel layer processes have been adjusted so that the refractive indices are tunable from n=1.1 to n=1.5. Reflectance measurements also show that reflectivity decreases across the entire spectrum with added sol-gel multilayers.

AB Large terrestrial solar electric power fields are being built around the world. However, sunlight is only available during normal daylight hours but not in the evenings. If lightweight mirrors can be deployed in space in a sun-synchronous dawn/dusk orbit, these mirrors can reflect sunlight down to these terrestrial solar farms to provide solar electricity in the evening and early morning, extending the field operating hours and reducing the cost of solar electric power. The idea of mirrors in space reflecting sunlight to earth is not new. What is new here is the idea of a constellation of 18 mirror array satellites in a 1000 km high sun-synchronous dawn/dusk orbit in combination with multiple 5-GW solar farms distributed around the world. In this scenario, the projected payback time for the mirror constellation given the additional revenues from the multiple solar fields is approximately 2 years.

AB Emcore's latest generation InGaP/InGaAs/Ge ZTJ triple-junction space-grade high-efficiency solar cells have been in volume production since 2009, with over 300,000 flight cells produced to power more than 35 separate satellites. The ZTJ cells, CICs (Coverglass-Interconnected-Cell) and solar panels have also been characterized and qualified to both the AIAA-S-111 and AIAA-S-112 standards. More than 10 life-cycle coupon panels have been thermal cycled to temperature extremes representing varied orbital conditions such as GEO (geosynchronous), LEO (low-earth) and highly elliptical orbits. In its larger 1-cell-per-wafer form factor, the ZTJ solar cell has been used to manufacture solar panels for a dozen NASA and other commercial spacecraft. Currently Emcore Photovoltaics is under contract to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to build and deliver the solar panels for the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission and to ATK Space Systems for the Commercial Resupply (CRS) mission to the International Space Station (ISS) and the AMOS-6 commercial telecommunication satellite. In this paper, the results of the qualification, production and testing of the life-cycle coupons and the solar panels for these missions is presented. In addition, the initial on-orbit telemetry performance results of NASA's NuStar (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) spacecraft solar array will be presented. The NuStar spacecraft was launched in June of 2012 and built by Orbital Sciences Corporation It is powered by an ATK solar array populated with ZTJ solar cells.

AB The TacSat-4 spacecraft carries a solar cell experiment characterizing a string of 3 triple-junction 1-sun solar cells and a string of triple junction solar cells under a flexible, linear Fresnel lens providing approximately 6 times solar concentration. TacSat-4 flies in a highly elliptical, four hour orbit, passing through proton and electron radiation belts 12 times per day. The damage to solar cells in this environment is severe. In this paper we examine the solar cell damage rates of the two solar cell strings.

AB The inverted metamorphic (IMM) solar cell has a high specific power compared to traditional germanium-based multi-junction solar cells, which may prove beneficial for space applications where costs are weight-driven. In addition, the mechanical flexibility of the IMM cell may be beneficial for new technologies, such as high-power, flexible, deployable arrays currently under development. However, IMM solar cells have not yet demonstrated radiation resistance equal to that of traditional Ge-based multi-junction cells, largely due to degradation in the In GaAs bottom subcell. A structure and process have been developed to incorporate a back surface reflector on the epitaxial lift-off (ELO) IMM solar cell, permitting the In GaAs subcell to be thinned whilst maintaining high optical absorption. The thinner subcell can better tolerate degraded base diffusion lengths following irradiation. In this manner, a significant improvement in the end of life efficiency of ELO IMM solar cells is demonstrated following irradiation with 1 MeV electrons at a fluence of 1x10(15) cm(-2).

Taxonomy
AB Anomaly detection is a key strategy for cyber intrusion detection because it is conceptually capable of detecting novel attacks. This makes it an appealing defensive technique for environments such as the nation's critical infrastructure that is currently facing increased cyber adversarial activity. When considering deployment within the purview of such critical infrastructures it is imperative that the technology is well understood and reliable, where its performance is benchmarked on the results of principled assessments. This paper works towards such an imperative by analyzing the current state of anomaly detector assessments with a view toward mission critical deployments. We compile a framework of key evaluation constructs that identify how and where current assessment methods may fall short in providing sufficient insight into detector performance characteristics. Within the context of three case studies from literature, we show how error factors that influence the performance of detectors interact with different phases of a canonical evaluation strategy to compromise the integrity of the final results.

ID ION BATTERY ELECTROLYTES; ELECTROCHEMICAL STABILITY; COPPER
AB Lithium-ion cells employing graphitic anodes (graphite or MCMB) and lithiated metal oxide cathodes, Li(Ni,Co,Al)O-2 are generally intolerant to low cell voltages, which is often attributed to the side reactions on the anode. Even though dissolution of the copper substrate at the anode is not thermodynamically favored at the anode potentials positive to lithium, mild copper dissolution was often reported to occur at positive potentials. Furthermore, the cell performance appears to degrade upon exposure to low voltages, even without any visible copper dissolution. One of the engineering batteries for the NASA Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission sustained a high impedance short due to a failure in the harness insulation, which resulted in the deep-discharge of multiple cells to low voltages, and an overall performance loss in these cells. Results from the laboratory test cells confirm the trend in the performance degradation as a function of low voltage exposure and point to, surprisingly, a degradation of the cathode, more than the anode. Electrochemical measurements, both ac impedance (EIS) and DC polarization show an unexpected trend that the cathode kinetics are affected by the deep-discharges to low voltages.

AB A number of electrolyte formulations that have been designed to operate over a wide temperature range have been investigated in conjunction with layered-layered metal oxide cathode materials developed at Argonne. In this study, we have evaluated a number of electrolytes in Li-ion cells consisting of Conoco Phillips A12 graphite anodes and Toda HE5050 Li1.2Ni0.15Co0.10Mn0.55O2 cathodes. The electrolytes studied consisted of LiPF6 in carbonate-based electrolytes that contain ester co-solvents with various solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) promoting additives, many of which have been demonstrated to perform well in 4V systems. More specifically, we have investigated the performance of a number of methyl butyrate (MB) containing electrolytes (i.e., LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate (EC) + ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) + MB (20:20:60 v/v %) that contain various additives, including vinylene carbonate, lithium oxalate, and lithium bis(oxalato) borate (LiBOB). When these systems were evaluated at various rates at low temperatures, the methyl butyrate-based electrolytes resulted in improved rate capability compared to cells with all carbonate-based formulations. It was also ascertained that the slow cathode kinetics govern the generally poor rate capability at low temperature in contrast to traditionally used LiNi0.80Co0.15Al0.05O2-based systems, rather than being influenced strongly by the electrolyte type.

ID ELECTROCHEMICAL PERFORMANCE; ELECTRODES; BATTERIES; CARBONATE
AB A number of electrolyte formulations that have improved safety characteristics have been developed for use with high capacity silicon-based anodes. To improve the compatibility with Si-based anodes, a number of technical approaches have been employed, including: (1) the use of mono-fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in conjunction with, or in lieu of, ethylene carbonate (EC), (2) the use of high proportions of fluorinated co-solvents, (3) the use of vinylene carbonate (VC) to stabilize the Si/C electrode, and (4) the use of lithium bis(oxalato) borate (LiBOB) to improve the compatibility of the electrolyte when Si/C electrodes are used in conjunction with high voltage cathodes. Candidate electrolytes were studied in Li/Si-C and Si-C/Li(MnNiCo)O-2 (NMC) coin cells, as well as in larger Si-C/NMC three-electrode cells equipped with lithium reference electrodes. In summary, many electrolytes that contain triphenyl phosphate (TPP), which is used as a flame retardant additive up to concentrations of 15 volume percent, and possess FEC as a co-solvent have been demonstrated to outperform the all-carbonate baseline electrolytes when evaluated in Si-C/Li(MnNiCo)O-2 cells.

AB In this article, we describe and demonstrate the capabilities of the low-latitude physics-based ionospheric model (PBMOD) developed at the Air Force Research Laboratory to specify radio scintillations using data collected during an April 2009 campaign dedicated to measurements with the Communication/Navigation Outage Forecasting System (C/NOFS). The electric fields/plasma drifts are believed to be the primary driver of the dynamics in the low-latitude ionosphere. With electric field measurements ingested into PBMOD, estimated scintillation strengths (S4) were comparable with ground measurements at 250 MHz recorded at Anocn, Peru; Christmas Island; and Kwajalein Atoll. These scintillations were associated with upward plasma drifts, although in some places, actual conditions were not precisely determined due to data gaps caused by spurious fields. We also present simulation results obtained from PBMOD driven by four different empirical drift models to specify global ionospheric densities. Discrete longitudinal structures are evident in both averaged density and drift observations. Density outputs from C/NOFS-driven simulations present similar wave 3 or wave 4 structures in geographical longitudes. In contrast, such density structures, likely associated with atmospheric tides, are absent when driving PBMOD with Scherliess-Fejer drifts. Model results have been quantitatively compared with in situ density measurements obtained from C/NOFS, Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, and CHAMP at altitudes ranging from similar to 350 to 850 km. We found that, on average, the smallest error in modeled densities came from simulations driven by the Ion Velocity Drift Meter drifts. We expect to increase the accuracy of forecasted low-latitude ionospheric densities with more accurate and continuous plasma drift measurements.

AB Systematic quantitative assessment of ionosphere/thermosphere (IT) models is critical in evaluating different modeling approaches, better understanding strengths and weaknesses of the models, and tracking model improvements. The coupling energetics and dynamics of atmospheric regions (CEDAR) community has been leading the CEDAR Electrodynamics Thermosphere Ionosphere (ETI) Challenge since June 2009 in order to address such a need. In the first round of the CEDAR ETI Challenge, we evaluated the performance of about 10 IT models in predicting a number of selected physical parameters, such as vertical ion drifts near the magnetic equator, and electron and neutral densities during the selected nine events, which correspond to three different geomagnetic conditions. To quantify the performance, we obtained four skill scores (RMS error, prediction efficiency, ratio of (maximum (max)-minimum), and ratio of max amplitude). The four skill scores were calculated as a function of geomagnetic activity level and geographic latitude in order to investigate how the model performance depends on them. We found a noticeable dependence of the model performance on geomagnetic activity and latitude. We also observed that the model performance mostly varies with the type of parameters and metrics used.

AB This paper introduces a tactile or contact method whereby an autonomous robot equipped with suitable sensors can choose the next sensing action involving touch in order to accurately localize an object in its environment. The method uses an information gain metric based on the uncertainty of the object's pose to determine the next best touching action. Intuitively, the optimal action is the one that is the most informative. The action is then carried out and the state of the object's pose is updated using an estimator. The method is further extended to choose the most informative action to simultaneously localize and estimate the object's model parameter or model class. Results are presented both in simulation and in experiment on the DARPA Autonomous Robotic Manipulation Software (ARM-S) robot.

AB This paper develops an estimation framework for sensor-guided dual-arm manipulation of a rigid object. Using an unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), the approach combines both visual and kinesthetic information to track both the manipulators and object. From visual updates of the object and manipulators, and tactile updates, the method estimates both the robot's internal state and the object's pose. Nonlinear constraints are incorporated into the framework to deal with the an additional arm and ensure the state is consistent. Two frameworks are compared in which the first framework run two single arm filters in parallel and the second consists of the augment dual arm filter with nonlinear constraints. Experiments on a wheel changing task are demonstrated using the DARPA ARM-S system, consisting of dual Barrett (TM) WAM manipulators.

AB This paper presents a new gesture-based human interface for natural robot control. Detailed activity of the user's hand and arm is acquired via a novel device, called the BioSleeve, which packages dry-contact surface electromyography (EMG) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) into a sleeve worn on the forearm. The BioSleeve's accompanying algorithms can reliably decode as many as sixteen discrete hand gestures and estimate the continuous orientation of the forearm. These gestures and positions are mapped to robot commands that, to varying degrees, integrate with the robot's perception of its environment and its ability to complete tasks autonomously. This flexible approach enables, for example, supervisory point-to-goal commands, virtual joystick for guarded teleoperation, and high degree of freedom mimicked manipulation, all from a single device. The BioSleeve is meant for portable field use; unlike other gesture recognition systems, use of the BioSleeve for robot control is invariant to lighting conditions, occlusions, and the human-robot spatial relationship and does not encumber the user's hands. The BioSleeve control approach has been implemented on three robot types, and we present proof-of-principle demonstrations with mobile ground robots, manipulation robots, and prosthetic hands.

ID CALIBRATION
AB With navigation algorithms reaching a certain maturity in the field of mobile robots, the community now focuses on more advanced tasks like path planning towards increased autonomy. While the goal is to efficiently compute a path to a target destination, the uncertainty in the robot's perception cannot be ignored if a realistic path is to be computed. With most state of the art navigation systems providing the uncertainty in motion estimation, here we propose to exploit this information. This leads to a system that can plan safe avoidance of obstacles, and more importantly, it can actively aid navigation by choosing a path that minimizes the uncertainty in the monitored states. Our proposed approach is applicable to systems requiring certain excitations in order to render all their states observable, such as a MAV with visual-inertial based localization. In this work, we propose an approach which takes into account this necessary motion during path planning: by employing Rapidly exploring Random Belief Trees (RRBT), the proposed approach chooses a path to a goal which allows for best estimation of the robot's states, while inherently avoiding motion in unobservable modes. We discuss our findings within the scenario of vision-based aerial navigation as one of the most challenging navigation problem, requiring sufficient excitation to reach full observability.

ID WALKING
AB The future exploration of small Solar System bodies will, in part, depend on the availability of mobility platforms capable of performing both large surface coverage and short traverses to specific locations. Weak gravitational fields, however, make the adoption of traditional mobility systems difficult. In this paper we present a planetary mobility platform (called "spacecraft/rover hybrid") that relies on internal actuation. A hybrid is a small (similar to 5 kg), multifaceted robot enclosing three mutually orthogonal flywheels and surrounded by external spikes or contact surfaces. By accelerating/decelerating the flywheels and by exploiting the low-gravity environment, such a platform can perform both long excursions (by hopping) and short, precise traverses (through controlled "tumbles"). This concept has the potential to lead to small, quasi-expendable, yet maneuverable rovers that are robust as they have no external moving parts. In the first part of the paper we characterize the dynamics of such platforms (including fundamental limitations of performance) and we discuss control and planning algorithms. In the second part, we discuss the development of a prototype and present experimental results both in simulations and on physical test stands emulating low-gravity environments. Collectively, our results lay the foundations for the design of internally-actuated rovers with controlled mobility (as opposed to random hopping motion).

ID SHORTEST PATHS
AB Several potentially important science targets have been observed in extreme terrains (steep or vertical slopes, possibly covered in loose soil or granular media) on other planets. Robots which can access these extreme terrains will likely use tethers to provide climbing and stabilizing force. To prevent tether entanglement during descent and subsequent ascent through such terrain, a motion planning procedure is needed. Abad-Manterola, Nesnas, and Burdick [1] previously presented such a motion planner for the case in which the geometry of the terrain is known a priori with high precision. Their algorithm finds ascent/descent paths of fixed homotopy, which minimizes the likelihood of tether entanglement. This paper presents an extension of the algorithm to the case where the terrain is poorly known prior to the start of the descent. In particular, we develop new results for how the discovery of previously unknown obstacles modifies the homotopy classes underlying the motion planning problem. We also present a planning algorithm which takes the modified homotopy into account. An example illustrates the methodology.

AB Current studies at NASA Glenn on oxide thermodynamics are discussed. Previous studies on the vaporization of B2O3 in reducing atmospheres led to inconsistent studies when B was used as a reductant. It is shown that liquid B2O3 does not wet B and a clear phase separation was noted in the Knudsen cell. This problem was solved by using FeB and Fe2B to supply a different and constant activity of B. The thermodynamic data thus derived are compared to quantum chemical composite calculations. A major problem in high temperature mass spectrometry is the determination of accurate ionization cross sections, particularly for molecules. The method of Deutsch and Mark shows promise and some sample calculations are discussed. Finally current studies on the thermodynamics of rare earth silicates are discussed. Here the problems are obtaining a measurable signal from SiO2 vaporization and non-equilibrium vaporization. The use of a Ta reducing agent provides a stronger signal, which is related to silica activity. The Whitman-Motzfeld relation adapted to KEMS measurements is applied to obtain equilibrium pressures.

AB Multi-cell KEMS offers many advantages over single cell instruments in regard to in-situ temperature calibration and studies on high temperature alloys and oxides of interest to NASA. The instrument at NASA Glenn is a 90 degrees magnetic sector instrument originally designed for single cell operation. The conversion of this instrument to a multi-cell instrument with restricted collimation is discussed. For restricted collimation, the 'field aperture' is in the copper plate separating the Knudsen Cell region and the ionizer and the 'source aperture' is adjacent to the ionizer box. A computer controlled x-y table allows positioning of one of the three cells into the sampling region. Heating is accomplished via a Ta sheet element and temperature is measured via an automatic pyrometer from the bottom of the cells. The computer control and data system have been custom developed for this instrument and are discussed. Future improvements are also discussed.

AB When observing a spatially complex mix of aerosols and clouds in a single relatively large field-of-view, nature entangles their signals non-linearly through polarized radiation transport processes that unfold in the 3D position and direction spaces. In contrast, any practical forward model in a retrieval algorithm will use only ID vector radiative transfer (vRT) in a linear mixing technique. We assess the difference between the observed and predicted signals using synthetic data from a high-fidelity 3D vRT model with clouds generated using a Large Eddy Simulation model and an aerosol climatology. We find that this difference is signal not noise for the Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor (APS), an instrument developed by NASA. Moreover, the worst case scenario is also the most interesting case, namely, when the aerosol burden is large, hence hase the most impact on the cloud microphysics and dynamics. Based on our findings, we formulate a mitigation strategy for these unresolved cloud adjacency effects assuming that some spatial information is available about the structure of the clouds at higher resolution from "context" cameras, as was planned for NASA's ill-fated Glory mission that was to carry the APS but failed to reach orbit. Application to POLDER (POLarization and Directionality of Earth Reflectances) data from the period when PARASOL (Polarization and Anisotropy of Reflectances for Atmospheric Sciences coupled with Observations from a Lidar) was in the A-train is briefly discussed.

AB The Airborne Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (AirMSPI) is an ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared pushbroom camera mounted on a single-axis gimbal to acquire multiangle imagery over a +/- 67 degrees along-track range. The instrument flies aboard NASA's high-altitude ER-2 aircraft, and acquires Earth imagery with similar to 10 m spatial resolution across an 11-km wide swath. Radiance data are obtained in eight spectral bands (355, 380, 445, 470, 555, 660, 865, 935 nm). Dual photoelastic modulators (PEMs), achromatic quarter-wave plates, and wire-grid polarizers also enable imagery of the linear polarization Stokes components Q and U at 470, 660, and 865 nm. During January-February 2013, AirMSPI data were acquired over California as part of NASA's Polarimeter Definition Experiment (PODEX), a field campaign designed to refine requirements for the future Aerosol-Cloud-Ecosystem (ACE) satellite mission. Observations of aerosols, low-and mid-level cloud fields, cirrus, aircraft contrails, and clear skies were obtained over the San Joaquin Valley and the Pacific Ocean during PODEX. Example radiance and polarization images are presented to illustrate some of the instrument's capabilities.

AB The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP), an instrument on the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO), was operated as an atmospheric lidar system to study the impact of clouds and aerosols on the Earth's radiation budget and climate. This paper discusses the receiver transient response of the CALIOP instrument, which is useful for getting a reliable attenuated backscatter profile from CALIOP data products. The noise tail effect (slow decaying rate) of PMT and broadening effect of the low-pass filter are both considered in modeling of the receiver transient response. An analytical expression of the CALIOP transient response function was obtained by the least square fitting of lidar measurements from land surfaces.

AB The form and structure of mathematical models describing conventional aircraft flight dynamics are well known; however, it is not obvious whether these same models can be used to describe the flight dynamics of ornithopters. This chapter presents experimental investigations into flapping-wing flight using an ornithopter test platform. Standard nomenclature for describing aircraft flight dynamics is introduced, followed by a description of the ornithopter test platform. Afterwards, flight data is presented that exhibits nonlinear phenomenon including fast and large amplitude motions, as well as limit cycle oscillations. The mass distribution of the ornithopter is then explored, and it is shown that the flapping wings induce significant changes in the center of mass location, inertia tensor, and inertia rates. An experiment is summarized where measured lift and thrust forces were modeled using quasi-steady aerodynamics. Finally, implications for flight dynamics modeling are discussed and a new model for flapping-wing aircraft is outlined.

AB Chapter 2 concluded with a recommendation to model ornithopter flight dynamics using nonlinear multibody techniques. In this chapter, the nonlinear equations of motion are derived for a multibody ornithopter. The model configuration is first presented, where the ornithopter is simplified as a system of three rigid bodies. The kinematic equations are then derived for this system, followed by the dynamic equations. Energy methods were employed, which resulted in a minimum state model, cast into a canonical form and having Lyapunov functions derived from scalar energy functions. At the conclusion of this chapter, only the aerodynamics model remains to be determined.

AB In Chapter 2 it was determined that a nonlinear multibody model was needed to describe the flight dynamics of the ornithopter. In Chapter 3 the rigid body equations of motion, as well as the gravitational effects, were derived from first principles. The aerodynamics for an arbitrary flapping wing vehicle are difficult to model analytically, and are determined in this work using system identification methods with experimental data. This chapter begins with a presentation of the system identification methods employed herein. Afterwards, tail aerodynamic models are identified from wind tunnel data, and wing aerodynamic models are identified from flight test data. This chapter concludes the nonlinear multibody model of the ornithopter flight dynamics.

In this chapter, those equations are programmed into a nonlinear flight simulator for the purposes of simulation and model simplification. An overview of the simulation environment is first presented. Afterwards, a method is discussed for trimming the model for straight and level mean flight. Numerical methods are then employed to numerically linearize the model about straight and level mean flight, resulting in both a conventional time-invariant model as well as a time-periodic model.

DE IMU calibration; least-squares; flight data
AB Inertial measurement units (IMUs) consist of orthogonal triads of magnetometers, gyroscopes, and accelerometers, and are used in autopilots to provide information on the vehicle pose and motion. The IMUs used on unmanned aircraft suffer from the low signal-to-noise ratios and strong temperature dependencies typical of Microelectromechcanical systems (MEMS) devices, requiring tedious laboratory testing or on-board state estimators for calibration. In this appendix, a method is presented for estimating IMU calibration constants, based on three successive least-squares computations. Memory and computation requirements are low enough for implementation on 8 bit microprocessors, and experimental data shows adequate calibration results.

AB The ornithopter has on board a Feigao GF2030 brushless motor to drive the flapping motion, and two Hitec HS-56 servo motors to orient the tail. Due to time lags observed in flight, models for the actuator dynamics were identified to determine actuator bandwidths and to enable higher fidelity models of the flight dynamics. This section presents the system identification experiments and modeling results.

AB Many flight vehicles, including conventional fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and spacecraft, can often be modeled as a single body. Derivation of the equations of motion is most commonly performed using the Newton-Euler approach [1, 37]; however, to provide familiarity with the energy approach presented in Chapter 3, the equations of motion for a single-body vehicle are derived here using the Boltzmann-Hamel equations.

The study focus on L and C-band full polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data from the Beaufort Sea, collected by the NASA/JPL AIRSAR system in December 2004. An area showing various types of first year ice, plus regions of multi-year ice, is selected for a polarimetric analysis, which included a non-negative eigenvalue Freeman-Durden decomposition of the two PolSAR images. The analysis shows clear evidence of differences in the scattering mechanisms associated with L and C band frequencies.

This paper outlines the results of a series of tests done at UHF and S-Band frequencies to determine NSI susceptibility to Radio Frequency (RF) power. The results show significant susceptibility to pulsed RF power in the S-Band region. Additional testing with lightning pulses injected into the firing line harness, modelling the indirect effects of a lightning strike to a spacecraft, showed no vulnerability.

AB Information on standards, protocols, quality assurance (QA) procedures, and best practices that are important in ocean engineering is widely scattered throughout the literature, both published and unpublished. To promote good practice in ocean engineering, the OES Standards Initiative of the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society aims to compile and disseminate such information through the OES website on a dedicated "Standards" webpage under Technical Activities. This publication will be supported by papers to OCEANS Conferences and other conferences, meetings, and symposia. The OES Standards Committee is coordinating this work, as well as promoting collaboration with the other Technology Committees of OES. The Committee is also soliciting information on standards from the ocean engineering and oceanographic communities. In this presentation, three examples of standards information are described in the manner of their intended publication on the webpage. These include standards on the equation of state of sea water; standards used in the offshore oil and gas industry; and standards and protocols for the calibration of electroacoustic transducers and sonars.

AB Measurements of sediment motion have been primarily limited to indirect observations with acoustic and optical instruments. A micro-electro-mechanical systems device that can measure and record Lagrangian observations of coastal sediments at incipient motion has been developed. These sensors move freely, measure acceleration in the six degrees of freedom and their mobility characteristics are similar to coarse gravel. Experiments conducted in a small oscillating flow tunnel and a large wave flume verified that the sensors detect incipient motion under various hydrodynamic conditions. Analysis of complementary fluid velocity measurements suggest the influence of pressure gradient induced sediment motion.

AB NASA has a current and next-generation requirement to collect high-quality in-situ data for the vicarious calibration of ocean color satellite sensors and to validate the algorithms that use the remotely sensed observations. As aquatic remote sensing shifts from the legacy perspective of optically simplistic open oceans toward next-generation observations of myriad optically complex water masses in the coastal zone and polar regions, instrument deployments from small platforms are a necessity. In response to this need, NASA funded the development of a new approach to measuring light: the microradiometer. A microradiometer consists of a photodetector, preamplifier with controllable gain, high resolution (24 bit) analog-to-digital converter (ADC), microprocessor, and an addressable digital port. The microradiometer interface electronics allows sensors that were not traditionally considered "radiometers" to be treated in like fashion by the system electronics, greatly simplifying the addition of other detectors, such as temperature, water pressure, platform angle, or even supply voltage and current. This latter feature inherently leads to the concept of hybrid microradiometers, and because microradiometers simply plug onto the aggregator board stack, unique configurations of hybrid sensing and detecting capabilities are readily imagined.

AB Planetary rover localization is a challenging problem since no conventional methods such as GPS, structural landmarks etc. are available. Horizon line is a promising visual cue which can be exploited for estimating the rover's position and orientation during planetary missions. By matching the horizon line detected in 2D images captured by the rover with virtually generated horizon lines from 3D terrain models (e. g., Digital Elevation Maps(DEMs)), the localization problem can be solved in principle. In this paper, we propose a machine learning approach for horizon line detection using edge images and local features (i.e., SIFT). Given an image, first we apply Canny edge detection using various parameters and keep only those edges which survive over a wide range of thresholds. We refer to these edges as Maximally Stable Extremal Edges (MSEEs). Using ground truth information, we then train an Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to classify MSEE pixels into two categories: horizon and non-horizon. Each MSSE pixel is described using SIFT features which becomes input to the SVM classifier. Given a novel image, we use the same procedure to extract MSSEs; then, we classify each MSEE pixel as horizon or non-horizon using the SVM classifier. MSEE pixels classified as horizon are then provided to a Dynamic Programming shortest path finding algorithm which returns a consistent horizon line. In general, Dynamic Programming returns different solutions (i.e., due to gaps) when searching for the optimum horizon line in a left-to-right or right-to-left fashion. We use the actual output of the SVM classifier to resolve ambiguities in places where the left-to-right and right-to-left solutions are different. The final solution, is typically a combination of edge segments from the left-to-right or right-to-left solutions. Moreover, we use the SVM classifier to fill in small gaps in the horizon line; this is in contrast to the traditional dynamic programming approach which relies on mere interpolation. We report promising experimental results using a set of real images.

AB This paper presents a mobile, infrastructure-based game, which coordinates the networked interaction between pairs of players on mobile devices and a server-based visualization and processing component. There Is No Ball (TINB) system is a web and mobile based game system, which allows users to play a game of paddle board without a physical ball. A common instance of the game involves two players using tablets as paddles, to gather and communicate sensor information and simulate the hitting of an imaginary ball back and forth between the two devices. A third device interfaces with the server and the WebGL-based ball visualization to display the calculated location of the ball and project its moving image.
The key challenge of game responsiveness in a highly-interactive game dependent on communication with a remote server and WebGL visualization is addressed. Specifically, local filtering strategies are applied to improve the responsiveness of actuation, and to deliver an enjoyable game experience.

AB The propagation of statistical model parameter uncertainty in the numerical approximation of nonlinear conservation laws is considered. Of particular interest are nonlinear conservation laws containing uncertain parameters resulting in stochastic solutions with discontinuities in both physical and random variable dimensions. Using a finite number of deterministic numerical realizations, our objective is the accurate estimation of output uncertainty statistics (e. g. expectation and variance) for quantities of interest such as functionals, graphs, and fields. Given the error in numerical realizations, error bounds for output statistics are derived that may be numerically estimated and included in the calculation of output statistics. Unfortunately, the calculation of output statistics using classical techniques such as polynomial chaos, stochastic collocation, and sparse grid quadrature can be severely compromised by the presence of discontinuities in random variable dimensions. An alternative technique utilizing localized piecewise approximation combined with localized subscale recovery is shown to significantly improve the quality of calculated statistics when discontinuities are present. The success of this localized technique motivates the development of the HYbrid Global and Adaptive Polynomial (HYGAP) method described in Sect. 4.4. HYGAP employs a high accuracy global approximation when the solution data varies smoothly in a random variable dimension and local adaptive polynomial approximation with local postprocessing when the solution is non-smooth. To illustrate strengths and weaknesses of classical and newly proposed uncertainty propagation methods, a number of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model problems containing various sources of parameter uncertainty are calculated including 1-D Burgers' equation, subsonic and transonic flow over 2-D single-element and multi-element airfoils, transonic Navier-Stokes flow over a 3-D ONERA M6 wing, and supersonic Navier-Stokes flow over a greatly simplified Saturn-V rocket.

AB We investigate the applicability of an evolvable hardware classifier architecture for electromyography (EMG) data from the BioSleeve wearable human-machine interface, with the goal of having embedded training and classification. We investigate classification accuracy for datasets with 17 and 11 gestures and compare to results of Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Random Forest classifiers. Classification accuracies are 91.5% for 17 gestures and 94.4% for 11 gestures. Initial results for a field programmable array (FPGA) implementation of the classifier architecture are reported, showing that the classifier architecture fits in a Xilinx XC6SLX45 FPGA. We also investigate a bagging-inspired approach for training the individual components of the classifier with a subset of the full training data. While showing some improvement in classification accuracy, it also proves useful for reducing the number of training instances and thus reducing the training time for the classifier.

AB A backscattering lidar at 355 nm wavelength with Raman channel produced by Raymetrics was operated in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in Penang Island. This lidar is currently taking measurements of the vertical distribution of clouds and aerosol layers over Penang Island. Background subtraction such as solar radiation for the range corrected signal during day time is needed. Dead-time correction was then applied to improve the lidar signal. In order to obtain the better signal for near and far range, gluing both analog and photon counting (PC) is necessary. Temporal evolution is plotted to determine variation planetary boundary layer (PBL) structure and the altitude of PBL also can be identify from time to time. Cloud distribution and cloud base layer can be retrieved from the temporal evolution plot and aerosol concentration pattern also can be determined.

AB Runtime verification (RV) consists in part of checking execution traces against formalized specifications. Several systems have emerged, most of which support specification notations based on state machines, regular expressions, temporal logic, or grammars. The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has for an even longer period of time studied rule-based production systems, which at a closer look appear to be relevant for RV, although seemingly focused on slightly different application domains, such as for example business processes and expert systems. The core algorithm in many of these systems is the Rete algorithm. We have implemented a Rete-based runtime verification system, named LOGFIRE (originally intended for offline log analysis but also applicable to online analysis), as an internal DSL in the Scala programming language, using Scala's support for defining DSLs. This combination appears attractive from a practical point of view. Our contribution is in part conceptual in arguing that such rule-based frameworks originating from AI may be suited for RV.

AB A multi-step Ka/Ka dichroic plate (Frequency Selective Surface (FSS)) is designed, manufactured and tested for use in NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) 34m Beam Waveguide (BWG) antennas. The proposed design allows ease of manufacturing and ability to handle the increased transmit power (reflected off the FSS) of the DSN BWG antennas from 20kW to 100 kW. The dichroic is designed using HFSS and results agree well with measured data considering the manufacturing tolerances that could be achieved on the dichroic.

AB A simple transformation using a singularity cancellation technique is presented that enables accurate and efficient computation of near strongly singular integrals involving the gradient of Helmholtz-type potentials for projected observation points that lie external to the source element. The coordinate reference is offset from the projection of the observation point onto the plane containing the source element. In many cases, this permits highly accurate results without the splitting of the source element.

JPL is currently developing a victim detection radar called FINDER (Finding Individuals in Emergency and Response). The subject of this paper is directed toward development of propagation & target models needed for simulation & testing of such a system. These models are both physical (real rubble piles) and numerical. Early results from the numerical modeling phase show spatial and temporal spreading characteristics when signals are passed through a randomly mixed rubble pile.

AB Since September 2012, NASA Glenn Research Center has deployed a microwave profiling radiometer at White Sands, NM, to estimate atmospheric propagation effects on communications links in the V and W bands (71-86GHz). Estimates of attenuation statistics in the millimeter wave due to gaseous and cloud components of the atmosphere show good agreement with current ITU-R models, but fail to predict link performance in the presence of moderate to heavy rain rates, due to the inherent limitations of passive radiometry. Herein, we discuss the preliminary results of these measurements and describe a design for a terrestrial link experiment to validate/refine existing rain attenuation models in the V/W-bands.

AB Over the past decade, Earth observing missions which employ spaceborne combined radar & radiometric instruments have been developed and implemented. These instruments include the use of large and complex deployable antennas whose radiation characteristics need to be accurately determined over 4p steradians. Given the size and complexity of these antennas, the performance of the flight units cannot be readily measured. In addition, the radiation performance is impacted by the presence of the instrument's service platform which cannot easily be included in any measurement campaign. In order to meet the system performance knowledge requirements, a two pronged approach has been employed. The first is to use modeling tools to characterize the system and the second is to build a scale model of the system and use RF measurements to validate the results of the modeling tools. This paper demonstrates the resulting level of agreement between scale model and numerical modeling for two recent missions: (1) the earlier Aquarius instrument currently in Earth orbit and (2) the upcoming Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. The results from two modeling approaches, Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and TICRA's General RF Applications Software Package (GRASP), were compared with measurements of similar to 1/10th scale models of the Aquarius and SMAP systems. Generally good agreement was found between the three methods but each approach had its shortcomings as will be detailed in this paper.

AB We present the development of a multi-stage automatic target recognition (MS-ATR) system for computer vision in robotics. This paper discusses our work in optimizing the feature selection strategies of the MS-ATR system. Past implementations have utilized Optimum Trade-off Maximum Average Correlation Height (OT-MACH) filtering as an initial feature selection method, and principal component analysis (PCA) as a feature extraction strategy before the classification stage.
Recent work has been done in the implementation of a modified saliency algorithm as a feature selection method. Saliency is typically implemented as a "bottom-up" search process using visual sensory information such as color, intensity, and orientation to detect salient points in the imagery. It is a general saliency mapping algorithm that receives no input from the user on what is considered salient. We discuss here a modified saliency algorithm that accepts the guidance of target features in locating regions of interest (ROI). By introducing target related input parameters, saliency becomes more focused and task oriented. It is used as an initial stage for the fast ROI detection method. The ROIs are passed to the later stages for feature extraction and target identification process.

ID PREDICTION; EXECUTION
AB Software reliability analysis tackles the problem of predicting the failure probability of software. Most of the current approaches base reliability analysis on architectural abstractions useful at early stages of design, but not directly applicable to source code. In this paper we propose a general methodology that exploit symbolic execution of source code for extracting failure and success paths to be used for probabilistic reliability assessment against relevant usage scenarios. Under the assumption of finite and countable input domains, we provide an efficient implementation based on Symbolic PathFinder that supports the analysis of sequential and parallel programs, even with structured data types, at the desired level of confidence. The tool has been validated on both NASA prototypes and other test cases showing a promising applicability scope.

AB This tool paper presents a tool for performing memoized symbolic execution (Memoise), an approach we developed in previous work for more efficient application of symbolic execution. The key idea in Memoise is to allow re-use of symbolic execution results across different runs of symbolic execution without having to re-compute previously computed results as done in earlier approaches. Specifically, Memoise builds a trie-based data structure to record path exploration information during a run of symbolic execution, optimizes the trie for the next run, and re-uses the resulting trie during the next run. Our tool optimizes symbolic execution in three standard scenarios where it is commonly applied: iterative deepening, regression analysis, and heuristic search. Our tool Memoise builds on the Symbolic PathFinder framework to provide more efficient symbolic execution of Java programs and is available online for download. The tool demonstration video is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppfYOB0Z2vY.

AB Java Pathfinder (JPF) is an open source analysis system that automatically verifies Java programs. The JPF tutorial provides an opportunity to software engineering researchers and practitioners to learn about JPF, be able to install and run JPF, and understand the concepts required to extend JPF. The hands-on tutorial will expose the attendees to the basic architecture framework of JPF, demonstrate the ways to use it for analyzing their artifacts, and illustrate how they can extend JPF to implement their own analyses.
One of the defining qualities of JPF is its extensibility. JPF has been extended to support symbolic execution, directed automated random testing, different choice generation, configurable state abstractions, various heuristics for enabling bug detection, configurable search strategies, checking temporal properties and many more. JPF supports these extensions at the design level through a set of stable well defined interfaces. The interfaces are designed to not require changes to the core, yet enable the development of various JPF extensions. In this tutorial we provide attendees a hands on experience of developing different interfaces in order to extend JPF.
The tutorial is targeted toward a general software engineering audience-software engineering researchers and practitioners. The attendees need to have a good understanding of the Java programming language and be fairly comfortable with Java program development. The attendees are not required to have any background in Java Pathfinder, software model checking or any other formal verification techniques. The tutorial will be self-contained.

AB Software plays a key role in high-risk systems, i.e., safety and security-critical systems. Several certification standards and guidelines, e. g., in the defense, transportation (aviation, automotive, rail), and healthcare domains, now recommend and/or mandate the development of assurance cases for software-intensive systems. As such, there is a need to understand and evaluate (a) the application of assurance cases to software, and (b) the relationship between the development and assessment of assurance cases, and software engineering concepts, processes and techniques. The ICSE 2013 Workshop on Assurance Cases for Software-intensive Systems (ASSURE) aims to provide an international forum for high-quality contributions (research, practice, and position papers) on the application of assurance case principles and techniques for software assurance, and on the treatment of assurance cases as artifacts to which the full range of software engineering techniques can be applied.

DE pointing control; model linearization; segmented telescope
AB A large order flexible space structure, such as a segmented reflector space telescope, requires a high degree of precision and accuracy in order to maintain its nominal shape in order to form clear images. The tracking control for the pointing of such a large complex multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system requires a robust controller to maintain the telescope pointing accurately and reliably at it's target. The segmented space telescope testbed at the Structures, Propulsion, And Controls Engineering (SPACE) NASA University Research Center (URC) of Excellence at California State University, Los Angeles, utilizes a segmented primary mirror and a novel motorized laser platform for simulating the testbed's intended target and demonstrating the testbed's pointing accuracy. The motorized platform along with two sets of accessory mirrors comprises a Peripheral Pointing Architecture (PPA). In order to design a suitable controller, the highly nonlinear geometric model describing the laser paths from source to optical detector plane was linearized to produce an LTI state-space model for controller design.

AB Electronic systems may be subjected to prolonged and intermittent periods of storage prior to deployment or usage. Prior studies have shown that leadfree solder interconnects show measurable degradation in the mechanical properties even after brief exposures to high temperature. In this paper, a method has been developed for the determining equivalent storage time to produce identical damage at a different temperature. Electronics subjected to accelerated tests often have a well-defined thermal profile for a specified period of time. Quantification of the thermal profile in field deployed electronics may be often difficult because of variance in the environment conditions and usage profile. There is need for tools and techniques to quantify damage in deployed systems in absence of macro-indicators of damage without knowledge of prior stress history. Approach for mapping damage in leadfree second-level interconnects under between thermal conditions is new. High reliability applications such as avionics and missile systems may be often exposed to long periods of storage prior to deployment. Effect of storage at different temperature conditions can be mapped using the presented approach. A framework has been developed to investigate the system state and estimate the remaining useful life of solder ball subjected to a variety of isothermal aging conditions including 60 degrees C, 75 degrees C and 125 degrees C for periods of time between 1-week and 4-week. Data on damage precursors has been collected and analyzed to derive physics based damage mapping relationships for aging. Mathematical relationships have been derived for the damage mapping to various thermal storage environments to facilitate determining appropriate time-temperature combination to reach a particular level of damage state. Activation energy for the leading indicators of failure is also computed. Specific damage proxies examined include the phase-growth indicator and the intermetallic thickness. The viability of the approach has been demonstrated for leadfree test assemblies subjected to multiple thermal aging at 60 degrees C, 75 degrees C and 125 degrees C. Damage mapping relationships are derived from data based on the two separate leading indicators.

AB Safety cases and, specifically, software safety cases, have had virtually no presence in engineering practice in the US. Recent interest, in addition to an early attempt to introduce them into practice in the NASA Constellation Program, motivated us to develop a partial safety case for a safety critical subsystem for the Ares I vehicle, namely the abort detection, notification and response (AFDNR) system. This paper relates our experience applying the safety case concept to AFDNR, particularly from the perspective of generalizing the safety issues to similar fault management systems. We also provide lessons learned, including a discussion of issues that led to our current refactoring of our initial safety case.

MSL has many similarities to its predecessors, the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity. However, Curiosity's diverse science payload, new sampling system, and overall scale led to new challenges in development and testing. The rover hardware and software were developed to allow certain functions to work in parallel to maximize the science that could be done each day on Mars. This led to complex behavioral interactions, which had to be tested and verified before they could be trusted. An incremental test program was developed that first exercised and verified individual functions and then validated system capabilities in mission-like scenarios. The plans, execution and results of these mission-like surface system tests will be presented.

As of the writing of this paper, Curiosity has been successfully exploring the surface of Mars for months, but during development it was not always clear it would be a success. MSL is by design three spacecraft in one: The cruise system to get from Earth to Mars; the entry descent and landing system; and the Rover to perform the intended scientific exploration. Each of these has it own unique challenges and is intertwined given the integrated nature of the design. The rover's complex science payload, sampling system and overall scale resulted in many technical challenges. This paper will present a few examples of the systems engineering challenges overcome during the development of the Curiosity rover.

AB The FM (Frame Manager) flight software module is responsible for maintaining the frame tree database containing coordinate transforms between frames. The frame tree is a proper tree structure of directed links, consisting of surface and rover subtrees. Actual frame transforms are updated by their owner. FM updates site and saved frames for the surface tree. As the rover drives to a new area, a new site frame with an incremented site index can be created. Several clients including ARM and RSM (Remote Sensing Mast) update their related rover frames that they own. Through the onboard centralized FM frame tree database, client modules can query transforms between any two frames. Important applications include target image pointing for RSM-mounted cameras and frame-referenced arm moves. The use of frame tree eliminates cumbersome, error-prone calculations of coordinate entries for commands and thus simplifies flight operations significantly.

AB The design methodologies of using sequence diagrams, multi-process functional flow diagrams, and hierarchical state machines were successfully applied in designing three MSL (Mars Science Laboratory) flight software modules responsible for handling actuator motions of the CHIMRA (Collection and Handling for In situ Martian Rock Analysis), IC (Inlet Covers), and DRT (Dust Removal Tool) mechanisms. The methodologies were essential to specify complex interactions with other modules, support concurrent foreground and background motions, and handle various fault protections. Studying task scenarios with multi-process functional flow diagrams yielded great insight to overall design perspectives. Since the three modules require three different levels of background motion support, the methodologies presented in this paper provide an excellent comparison. All three modules are fully operational in flight.

AB Before the Curiosity rover can perform its science activities for the day, such as driving, moving its robotic arm, or drilling, it first has to ensure that its actuators are within their allowable flight temperatures (AFTs). When the rover is awake, flight software uses heaters to warm up and maintain thermal zones at operational temperatures. However, Curiosity spends about 70% of its time sleeping, with the flight computer off, in order to conserve energy. Dream Mode is a special behavior that allows the rover to execute warm-up activities while sleeping. Using Dream Mode, actuators can be warmed up to their AFTs before the flight computer wakes up and uses them - saving power and improving operational efficiency. This paper describes the motivation behind Dream Mode, how it was implemented and tested on Curiosity, and the challenges and lessons learned along the way.

AB The Rover Sequencing and Visualization Program (RSVP) is a tool suite used for building command sequences for the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity. RSVP was previously used for other missions and for in-house research projects and proposal efforts. RSVP has undergone extensive modifications and enhancements over previous versions in order to support more challenging requirements and to make it more adaptable for future missions. This paper will provide a brief overview of many of the specific enhancements made for the MSL mission.
