Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Jamie S. Rankin, David J. McComas, John D. Richardson, Nathan A. Schwadron, | Summary: In mid-2012, a GMIR observed by Voyager 2 crossed through the heliosheath and collided with the heliopause, generating a pressure pulse that propagated into the very local interstellar medium. The effects of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine Grant | First 5 Authors: Esra Bulbul, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen, Michael Freyberg, Eric D. Miller | Summary: The particle-induced background of X-ray observatories is produced by Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) primary protons, electrons, and He ions. Events due to direct interaction with the detector are usually removed by on board processing. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: Dara Norman, Terri J. Brandt, Nancy D. Morrison, Sarah Tuttle, Julie Rathbun | Summary: Organizations that support science (astronomy) such as federal agencies, research centers, observatories, academic institutions, societies, etc. employ advisory committees and boards as a mechanism for reviewing their activities and giving advice on practices, […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson, Daniela Tordella, | Summary: It is currently believed that the turbulent fluctuations pervade the outermost heliosphere. Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, and their link may be responsible for magnetic energy conversion in these regions. The governing mechanisms of such anisotropic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mathew Evans | First 5 Authors: Jack Whitter-Jones, Mathew Evans, , , | Summary: Security testing has been a career path that many are beginning to take. In doing so, security testing can hit the realms of many different types of engagements, ranging from web, infrastructure and social engineering. With the risk of […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson, Daniela Tordella, | Summary: The understanding of inertial-scale dynamics in the heliosheath is not yet thorough. Magnetic field fluctuations across the inner heliosheath (IHS) and the local interstellar medium (LISM) are here considered to provide accurate and highly […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claude Canizares | First 5 Authors: Lia Corrales, Lynne Valencic, Elisa Costantini, Javier Garcia, Efrain Gatuzz | Summary: X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in the 0.2-2 keV band is a crucial component in multi-wavelength studies of dust mineralogy, size, and shape — parameters that are necessary for interpreting astronomical observations and building physical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Tzu-Ching Chang, Angus Beane, Olivier Dore, Adam Lidz, Lluis Mas-Ribas | Summary: The Cosmic Dawn and Reionization epochs remain a fundamental but challenging frontier of astrophysics and cosmology. We advocate a large-scale, multi-tracer approach to develop a comprehensive understanding of the physics that led to the formation […]
