Variability of the Brunt–Väisälä frequency at the OH∗-airglow layer height at low and midlatitudes [PDF]
Airglow spectrometers, as they are operated within the Network for the Detection of Mesospheric Change (NDMC; https://ndmc.dlr.de, last access: 1 November 2020), for example, allow the derivation of rotational temperatures which are equivalent to the ...

A Survey of 10-Micron Silicate Emission from Dust around Young Sun-Like Stars [PDF]
We obtained low resolution (R = 100) mid-infrared (8-13 micron wavelengths) spectra of 8 nearby young main sequence stars with the Keck 1 telescope and Long-Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) to search for 10 micron silicate (Si-O stretch) emission from ...

The past 4 years have seen the continuation of considerable activity in airglow research. Patterns of changing emphasis are becoming clear, observations are tending to become more selective, and changes in technique have led to regular observations of dayglow, line widths in the nightglow, and observations in the middle and far ultraviolet, detection ...

The First Detections of the Extragalactic Background Light at 3000, 5500, and 8000A (II): Measurement of Foreground Zodiacal Light [PDF]
We present a measurement of the absolute surface brightness of the zodiacal light (3900-5100A) toward a fixed extragalactic target at high ecliptic latitude based on moderate resolution (~1.3A per pixel) spectrophotometry obtained with the du Pont 2.5m ...

Space-Based Limb-Imaging Spectrometer for Atmospheric O2 Airglow Detection
This paper presents a space-based limb-imaging spectrometer (LIS) for detecting atmospheric O2 airglow; it scans the atmosphere with a vertical range of 10–100 km and has a vertical resolution of 2 km. The LIS’s detection performance needs to be examined

Studying a Long-Lasting Meteor Trail from Stereo Images and Radar Data
Unique observation of a long-lasting meteor trail of about half an hour duration is described. The trail resulted from a burning meteor from the Leonid storm flux in the middle latitudes over eastern Siberia.

CalFUSE v3: A Data-Reduction Pipeline for the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer
Since its launch in 1999, the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has made over 4600 observations of some 2500 individual targets. The data are reduced by the Principal Investigator team at the Johns Hopkins University and archived at the ...

Estimation of the vertical wavelength of atmospheric gravity waves from airglow imagery [PDF]
In the summer of 2010, two imagers were installed in New Mexico with the objective of making stereoscopic observations of atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs).

GALEX FUV Observations of Comet C/2004 Q2 (Machholz): The Ionization Lifetime of Carbon
We present a measurement of the lifetime of ground state atomic carbon, C(^3P), against ionization processes in interplanetary space and compare it to the lifetime expected from the dominant physical processes likely to occur in this medium.
