Hunt for Philae hangs in the balance
Gibney, Elizabeth
Rosetta mission would have to sacrifice other science to search for comet lander.
Revived Philae poised to do comet science
Gibney, Elizabeth
Comet lander has enough power to do experiments but needs a better communications link.
On the origin of two unidentified radio/X-ray sources discovered with XMM-Newton
García, Federico; Combi, Jorge A.; Romero, Gustavo E. +1 more
Aims: We aim at clarifying the nature of the emission of two spatially related unidentified X-ray sources detected with XMM-Newton telescope at intermediate-low Galactic latitude
Methods: We use the imaging and spectral capabilities of XMM-Newton to study the X-ray properties of these two sources. In addition, we complement our study wit…
Rosetta team bags Physics World award
Johnston, Hamish
The Physics World 2014 Breakthrough of the Year has been awarded to the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission for being the first to land a spacecraft on a comet.
"Constant" eclipsing binary in the instability strip
Çakırlı, Ö.
The eclipsing binary OO Peg consist of two late-A type stars in circular orbit with a period of 2.985 days. I use the high-resolution spectroscopic and extensive light curves from the ASAS and Hipparcos survey to measure the physical properties of the system. Previous attempts to model the light and radial velocity curves of the system have met wi…
Solar wind interaction with the terrestrial planets
Radioti, Aikaterini; Milillo, Anna; Garnier, Philippe
This issue entitled "Solar wind interaction with the terrestrial planets" follows the recurrent session PS5.1 (Planetary Plasma Physics and Interactions in the Solar System) held at the European Geophysical Union conference. The EGU session hosts original studies on all aspects of planetary plasma physics and interactions in the Solar System. This…
Ice processes and organic matter in space: observations and laboratory simulations
Martín-Doménech, R.; Muñoz Caro, G. M.
The formation of ice mantles on interstellar and circumstellar dust grains is governed by the accretion and desorption processes. Thermal processing of astrophysical ices takes place in circumstellar environments, near protostars, or already formed stars (comets and other icy bodies). Temperature-programmed desorption experiments of ice composed o…
Seventeen New Variable Stars Detected in Vulpecula and Perseus
Furgoni, R.
I report the discovery of seventeen new variable stars in the Northern Sky: three eclipsing (GSC 02129-00759; GSC 02129-00947; GSC 02869-02559), one eruptive (GSC 02856-02521), ten pulsating (2MASS J19305329+2558520; GSC 02129-00537; 2MASS J19323543+2524000; 2MASS J19263580+2616428; HD 275169; GSC 02869-00313; GSC 02869-01981; GSC 02856-01391; GSC…

Sharma, R. P.; Kumari, Anju; Yadav, Nitin
Localization of kinetic Alfvén waves (KAW) due to ponderomotive nonlinearity can be regarded as an important mechanism for heating the space plasmas. The present paper investigates the effect of background density fluctuations on the formation of large amplitude localized structures and turbulent spectrum of KAW applicable to magnetopause. The dyn…
