Spectral Identification and Analyses of Hydrous Mineral Deposits: Implications for the Aqueous History of Aram Chaos and Melas Chasma, Mars
Liu, Yang
Orbital remote sensing data acquired from the Mars Express OMEGA and MRO CRISM instruments, in conjunction with other datasets, are used to perform detailed spectral and stratigraphic analyses with the goals of better understanding the mineralogy and aqueous history of deposits in Aram Chaos and south and southwest Melas Chasma on Mars. The Discre…
Surprises in the Hard X-ray Sky
Courvoisier, Thierry J. -L.
Cosmic objects emit throughout the electro-magnetic spectrum, from radio waves to very high-energy gamma rays. Some spectral regions can be observed from the ground, but space instrumentation is needed for most of them. Some spectral regions are particularly difficult, for example hard X-rays and MeV gamma rays. For one thing, in this spectral reg…

Ulysses observations of Jupiter's 10 h modulation in interplanetary space in 2004
Heber, B.; Kopp, A.; Dunzlaff, P.
Since the Pioneer 10/11 mission, Jupiter is known as a dominant and almost constant source of MeV electrons in the inner heliosphere. An interesting feature of the Jovian electron source is the fact that Jupiter's rotation period (~10 h) can frequently be recovered in the energy spectrum of Jovian electrons in the vicinity of the planet. However, …
Model of dust thermal emission of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for the Rosetta/MIRO instrument
Gulkis, Samuel; Bockelée-Morvan, Dominique; Biver, Nicolas +4 more
The ESA's Rosetta spacecraft will arrive at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014. The study of gas and dust emission is primary objective of several instruments on the Rosetta spacecraft, including the Microwave Instrument for the Rosetta Orbiter (MIRO). We developed a model of dust thermal emission to estimate the detectability of dust in the …

Searching for Pulsating Stars in Eclipsing Binaries in the OMC--VAR Catalogue
Montesinos, B.; Mas-Hesse, J. M.; Moya, A. +2 more
The first catalogue of variable sources observed by OMC (OMC--VAR hereafter) contains light curves for 5263 variable stars, out of which we have been able to detect periodicities for 1137 objects. A large variety of objects can be found in the catalogue, but the most frequent ones in the present compilation are pulsating stars and eclipsing binari…

Erratum: Hard X-Ray Spectrum from the West Lobe of Radio Galaxy Fornax A Observed with Suzaku
Isobe, Naoki; Tashiro, Makoto S.; Seta, Hiromi +2 more
In the paper [PASJ 61, S327-S335 (2009)], there were two kinds of typos in the units of flux density and the column density. The correct unit of flux density at 1 keV employed in this paper is µJy not nJy, which appears in line 9 of abstract, line 29 of subsection 3.3, and row (d) of table 2. The correct column density in table 2 row (a) is …
