Brief Communication: The double layer in the separatrix region during magnetic reconnection

DOI: 10.5194/npg-22-167-2015 Bibcode: 2015NPGeo..22..167G

Guo, J.; Yu, B.

With two-dimensional (2-D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations we investigate the evolution of the double layer (DL) driven by magnetic reconnection. Our results show that an electron beam can be generated in the separatrix region as magnetic reconnection proceeds. This electron beam could trigger the ion-acoustic instability; as a result, a DL acc…

Lunar absolute reflectance as observed by Chang'E-1 Imaging Interferometer

DOI: 10.1007/s11433-015-5680-9 Bibcode: 2015SCPMA..58.9601Z

Li, Bo; Zhang, Jiang; Ling, ZongCheng +3 more

Lunar absolute reflectance, which describes the fraction of solar radiation reflected by the Moon, is fundamental for the Chang'E-1 Imaging Interferometer (IIM) to map lunar mineralogical and elemental distributions. Recent observations made by the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM) onboard the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) spacecr…

Comets are Nice to Touch

DOI: 10.1007/BF03404702 Bibcode: 2015AeMiS..94..210F

Finzi, A. Ercoli

Rosetta is the third cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency scientific program "Horizon 2000" and it is the first spacecraft to orbit around a comet nucleus and to send a lander on its surface with the aim of studying the real nature of these objects. It was launched in March 2004 and reached the comet 67P/Churymov-Gerasimenko in 2014. I…

Philae mission set for reboot

DOI: 10.1088/2058-7058/28/5/12 Bibcode: 2015PhyW...28e...7B

Banks, Michael

Scientists at the European Space Agency (ESA) are hoping that the Philae lander, which successfully landed on a comet last year, will re-establish contact soon as it travels closer to the Sun.

An AKARI infrared study of dust emission in Galactic bubbles indicative of large-scale cloud-cloud collisions

DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2015.04.006 Bibcode: 2015P&SS..116...57H

Kaneda, H.; Sano, H.; Ishihara, D. +3 more

We report our systematic study on dust emission in massive star-forming regions indicative of large-scale cloud-cloud collisions, using the AKARI infrared (IR) all-sky survey data at wavelengths of 9, 18, 65, 90, 140, and 160 µm. We focus on the Galactic bubbles catalogued by Spitzer, which are categorized into two types of morphology, close…

The luminosity - spectral index dependence of the X-ray bright Seyfert galaxies

DOI: 10.17721/2227-1481.5.79-83 Bibcode: 2015AASP....5...79S

Tugay, A. V.; Sadova, V. A.

X-ray luminosities and spectral indices of 97 bright Seyfert 1 (Sy1) galaxies from the XMM-Newton archive are analysed in this article. Distribution of these values is random, so we conclude that the model of emission should be at least two-parametric. Within the framework of the merging model of active galactic nuclei (AGN), the relation between …
