Variable O VI and N V emission from the X-ray binary LMC X-3 : heating of the black hole companion [PDF]

, 2010
Based on high-resolution ultraviolet spectroscopy obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) and the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, we present new detections of Ovi and Nv emission from the black hole X-ray binary (XRB) system LMCX-3 ...

Formation of Continuum Emission Structures Associated With the Aurora

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Recent observations enabled by improvements in geospace remote‐sensing instrumentation have revealed the spatial structure of continuum emissions that appear to be associated with the aurora, but little is known about the formation and drivers of these structures.

Intense Ground Magnetic Perturbations During the 2024 May and October Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The May and October 2024 geomagnetic storms represent two of the most intense space weather events of Solar Cycle 25. While differing in global intensity, both storms produced extreme ionospheric disturbances, including equatorward auroral expansion to mid‐latitudes and rapid geomagnetic variations (dH/dt $\text{dH}/\text{dt}$).

A rocket-borne airglow photometer [PDF]

The design of a rocket-borne photometer to measure the airglow emission of ionized molecular nitrogen in the 391.4 nm band is presented. This airglow is a well known and often observed phenomenon of auroras, where the principal source of ionization is ...

Characterization of Mercury's Atomic and Molecular Hydrogen Exosphere and the First Detection of H2 Ions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract From 1974 to 1975, the Mariner 10 spacecraft studied Mercury's environment during three flybys and detected hydrogen, helium, and possibly atomic oxygen in the exosphere using its ultraviolet spectrometer, but no molecular hydrogen. Based on the sensitivity of the occultation instrument, an upper limit for the H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ surface ...

Detection of wave activity in measurements of thermospheric vertical winds and temperatures at subauroral latitudes

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The need for high precision measurements of vertical winds with uncertainties on the scale of 3–5 m s−1 and a temporal cadence of 1–2 min to achieve detection of gravity wave (GW) structure has made it exceedingly difficult to study the response of the ...

Long-lived meteor trails

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2019
The paper presents data on long-lived (~20–40 min) meteor trails. We describe a group of soliton-type meteor trails expanding at transonic speeds. Radio sounding data evidences that the latter include ~7–8 min ionization trails.

Low latitude airglow

Journal of Earth System Science, 1983
Tropical airglow work during the last few years is reviewed. Airglow instrumentation is becoming more complex. Some of these sophisticated airglow experiments giving important information about the upper atmosphere such as ionospheric F region electron density, height of maximum electron density, dynamics of and irregularities in the F region ...

Morphology of the Excited Hydroxyl in the Martian Atmosphere: A Model Study—Where to Search for Airglow on Mars?

Remote Sensing
Monitoring excited hydroxyl (OH*) airglow is broadly used for characterizing the state and dynamics of the terrestrial atmosphere. Recently, the existence of excited hydroxyl was confirmed using satellite observations in the Martian atmosphere.
