Photometric, astrometric, and kinematical characteristics of two Xuyi's open clusters utilizing Gaia DR3 data
Belwal, Kuldeep; Bisht, D.; Bisht, Mohit Singh +6 more
This study reports and examines two poorly studied open star clusters surveyed from XSTPS-GAC, namely Xuyi 15 and Xuyi 23, using the Gaia DR3 catalog data. We identified 570 (Xuyi 15) and 824 (Xuyi 23) stars as highly probable astrometric members with membership probability higher than 60
Mars Express investigations of the Martian ionosphere using ASPERA-3 and new MARSIS fixed frequency modes
Barabash, Stas; Holmstrom, Mats; Sánchez-Cano, Beatriz +7 more
The plasma package Analyzer of Space Plasma and Energetic Atoms (ASPERA-3) onboard Mars Express has observed ions and electrons accelerated by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) radar when it operates in its active ionospheric sounding mode. To better study the processes involved, new operational modes for MARS…
Temporal and spatial variation in subsurface cryosphere in East Coprates Planum, Mars
Dasgupta, Dipayan
There is general acceptance among researchers regarding the presence of a cryosphere in the subsurface of Mars. The two main geomorphic indications assumed to support the existence of this cryospheric layer are layered ejecta rampart craters and outflow channels. In essence, a layered ejecta rampart crater is a crater with an ejecta blanket having…
Large solar energetic particles and solar radio emissions during Cycle 25. A comparative analysis of trends and characteristics with cycles 23 and 24
Ndacyayisenga, Theogene; Uwamahoro, Jean; Uwamahoro, Jean Claude +2 more
Solar energetic particles (SEPs) affect space weather in both the heliosphere and on Earth. The present study investigates the occurrences of large SEP events focusing on their influence on the Earth, as well as their correlation with solar radio bursts (SRBs). The velocity dispersion analysis (VDA) is used to calculate the release times of large …
Analysis and interpretation of the in-flight dynamics of a critical space mechanism
Dalla Ricca, Edoardo; Bortoluzzi, Daniele; Vignotto, Davide
The study hereby presented develops a mechatronic model of a critical space mechanism for a comprehensive interpretation of its in-flight performance. The mechanism was operated in the LISA Pathfinder European Space Agency mission, which was flown to test key technologies developed for detecting gravitational waves from space. The mission accompli…
Heliophysics Great Observatories and international cooperation in Heliophysics: An orchestrated framework for scientific advancement and discovery
Vourlidas, Angelos; Blanco-Cano, Xóchitl; Lavraud, Benoit +21 more
We suggest that the next era of Heliophysics should focus on the Sun-Heliosphere and Geospace as each a system-of-systems, and recommend a coordinated, deliberate, worldwide scientific effort to answer long-standing questions that will remain unanswered without a unified program. Many of the biggest unanswered science questions that remain across …
Fast and accurate evaluation of deep-space galactic cosmic ray fluxes with HelMod-4/CUDA
Gervasi, M.; Rancoita, P. G.; Boschini, M. J. +4 more
The accurate knowledge of cosmic ion fluxes is essential for fundamental physics, deep space missions, and exploration activities in the solar system. In the HelMod-4 model the Parker transport equation is solved using a Monte Carlo approach to evaluate the solar modulation effect on local interstellar spectra of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs). This …
Complete analysis of the subgiant stellar system: HIP 102029
Mardini, Mohammad K.; Al-Wardat, Mashhoor A.; Abu-Alrob, Enas M. +2 more
In this work, we present a detailed analysis of the individual components of the visual binary system HIP 102029 (R.A. = 20:40:35.32, Dec. = +15:38:35.63). The system was discovered during the European Space Agency Hipparcos mission and has a separation of 220 mas. The analysis uses the ORBITX code and Al-Wardat's method to estimate the orbital, a…
Discovered a new open cluster near the poorly studied Majaess 190
Tadross, A. L.
We present the results of a comprehensive astrophysical study of a newly discovered open cluster, dubbed Ash-1. Using the third data release of the Gaia space mission, Gaia DR3, Ash-1 was accidentally discovered within the constellation Sagittarius in the field of the poorly studied cluster Majaess 190. Here we present the first estimates of these…
Multipoint observations of compressional Pc5-6 pulsations in the dawn side magnetosphere: A case study
Sibeck, D. G.; Korotova, G. I.
We present a case study of compressional Pc5-6 pulsations observed by THEMIS-D and -E in the dawn sector of the magnetosphere following 1100 UT on January 22, 2010. The pulsations were observed during a moderate substorm triggered by the IMF discontinuity and an accompanying change in the solar wind dynamic pressure at 1045 UT. The event can be co…
