Characteristics of Nanoflare Heating in a Coronal Bright Point
Hahn, Michael; Savin, Daniel Wolf; Ho, Brandon
We have obtained constraints on the nanoflare energy distribution and timing for the heating of a coronal bright point. Observations of the bright point were made using the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer on Hinode in slot mode, which collects a time series of monochromatic images of the region leading to unambiguous temperature diagnosti…
Calibration of NOMAD on ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter: Part 3 - LNO validation and instrument stability
Vandaele, A. C.; Daerden, F.; Thomas, I. R. +7 more
The LNO channel is one of the 3 instruments of the NOMAD suite of spectrometers onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter currently orbiting Mars. Designed to operate primarily at nadir at very high spectral resolution in the 2.3 µm-3.8 µm spectral region, the instrument observes the martian atmosphere and surface daily since March 2018. T…
Petrological and Mineralogical Characteristics of Exposed Materials on the Floors of the Lavoisier and Surrounding Craters
Moon, Seulgi; Yi, Eung Seok; Kim, Kyeong Ja +3 more
Five floor-fractured craters (FFCs), Lavoisier crater and four craters surrounding it (Lavoisier C, Lavoisier E, Lavoisier F, and Lavoisier H), are distributed along the boundary between the northwestern part of the Oceanus Procellarum and the highlands. This study examines the uplifted or exposed materials on the fractured floors of these five im…
A Low-speed Intruder Star in Hyades: A Temporary Residence
Hu, Qingshun; Zhang, Yu; Esamdin, Ali +4 more
We hereby report a low-speed (about 21 km s-1 with respect to the Sun) intruder member in the Hyades cluster based on the data in the literature. The results show that the star is a nonnative member star for Hyades, with its radial velocity being smaller than the radial velocity of the Hyades cluster, even exceeding the standard deviati…
Search for exoplanets around northern circumpolar stars. V. Three likely planetary companions to the giant stars HD 19615, HD 150010, and HD 174205
Jeong, G.; Lee, B. -C.; Park, M. -G. +2 more
Aims: We report the detection of long-period radial velocity (RV) variations in three giant stars, HD 19615, HD 150010, and HD 174205, using precise RV measurements.
Methods: These detections are part of the Search for Exoplanets around Northern Circumpolar Stars (SENS) survey being conducted at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observator…

XMM-Newton study of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
Sasaki, Manami; Saeedi, Sara
We analysed observations with XMM-Newton in the field of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph). The aim of the study was the classification of X-ray binaries and accreting white dwarfs belonging to the Sculptor dSph. Using different methods of X-ray timing and spectral analyses, together with an extensive multiwavelength study of the optical…
IRIS burst properties in active regions
Kleint, L.; Nelson, C. J.
Context. Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) bursts are localised features thought to be driven by magnetic reconnection. Although these events are well-studied, it remains unknown whether their properties vary as their host active regions (ARs) evolve.
Aims: In this article, we aim to understand whether the measurable properties (e.…
The Stationary Electric Field in the Heliosphere and Its Possible Relation to Current Sheets
Kislov, Roman A.
The nature of the large-scale electric field in the heliosphere is discussed in this paper. The electric potential along each line of the magnetic field should be constant in the ideally conductive solar wind. A high electric potential is supposed to be maintained by the rapidly flowing solar wind far from the Sun and, near the Sun, by the unipola…
Deriving Thermonuclear Supernova Properties from Gamma-Ray Line Measurements
Leising, M. D.
We illustrate methods for deriving properties of thermonuclear, or Type Ia, supernovae, including synthesized 56Ni mass, total ejecta mass, ejecta kinetic energy, and 56Ni distribution in velocity, from gamma-ray line observations. We simulate data from a small number of published SNe Ia models for a simple gamma-ray instrume…
