First Flight Performance of the Micro-X Microcalorimeter X-Ray Sounding Rocket

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah N. T. Heine | Summary:The flight of the Micro-X sounding rocket on July 22, 2018 marked the first operation of Transition-Edge Sensors and their SQUID readouts in space. The instrument combines the microcalorimeter array with an imaging mirror to take high-resolution spectra from extended X-ray sources. The first flight target was the […]

Recurrent flow patterns as a basis for turbulence: predicting statistics from structures

Posted by dbos Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Michael P. Brenner | First 5 Authors: Jacob Page, Peter Norgaard, Michael P. Brenner, Rich R. Kerswell, | Summary: A dynamical systems approach to turbulence envisions the flow as a trajectory through a high-dimensional state space transiently visiting the neighbourhoods of unstable simple invariant solutions (E. Hopf, Commun. Appl. Maths 1, 303, 1948). […]
