Mining and/in outer space: Verticality, analogy, and infrastructural mediation in subarctic Sweden Les mines et/dans l'espace : verticalité, analogie et médiation infrastructurelle dans les régions subarctiques de Suède

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Space activities in subarctic Sweden are predicated on older infrastructures of underground resource extraction. The ongoing expansion of the country's rocket launch site outside Kiruna relies on the Swedish state's historical construction of the region as a resource frontier.

Obliquely rotating pulsars: screening of the inductive electric field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Pulsar electrodynamics has been built up by taking ingredients from two models, the vacuum-dipole model, which ignores the magnetosphere but includes the inductive electric field due to the obliquely rotating magnetic dipole, and the corotating-magnetosphere model, which neglects the vacuum inductive electric field and assumes a corotating ...

Low‐dose X‐ray radiation induces an adaptive response: A potential countermeasure to galactic cosmic radiation exposure

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space exploration involves many dangers including galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). This class of radiation includes high‐energy protons and heavy ionizing ions. NASA has defined GCR as a carcinogenic risk for long‐duration space missions. To date, no clear strategy has been developed to counter chronic GCR exposure.

Global disturbance of Earth’s magnetosphere and its connection with space weather

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2020
This paper deals with extreme conditions of the global magnetosphere disturbance: very quiet and greatly disturbed, and their relationship with interplanetary medium parameters.

Modulation of Solar Wind Impact on the Earth’s Magnetosphere during the Solar Cycle

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
The understanding of extreme geomagnetic storms is one of the key issues in space weather. Such phenomena have been receiving increasing attention, especially with the aim of forecasting strong geomagnetic storms generated by high-energy solar events ...

What Controls the Structure and Dynamics of Earth’s Magnetosphere?

open access: yes, 2015
Unlike most cosmic plasma structures, planetary magnetospheres can be extensively studied in situ. In particular, studies of the Earth’s magnetosphere over the past few decades have resulted in a relatively good experimental understanding of both its ...

Peculiarities of the Heliospheric State and the Solar-Wind/Magnetosphere Coupling in the Era of Weakened Solar Activity

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Based on the data of the solar wind (SW) measurements of the OMNI database for the period 1976–2019, we investigate the behavior of SW types, as well as plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) parameters, for 21–24 solar cycles (SCs). Our analysis

Looking Into Pulsar Magnetospheres [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2001
AbstractDiffractive and refractive magnetospheric scintillations may allow direct probing of the plasma inside the pulsar light cylinder. The unusual electrodynamics of the strongly magnetized electron-positron plasma allows separation of the magnetospheric and interstellar scattering.

Electromagnetic Precursors of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts as Counterparts of Gravitational Waves

open access: yesGalaxies, 2021
Precursor emissions are found in some short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs). In this paper, we review the theories and observations of the SGRB precursor and discuss its prospect as an electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational wave event produced by ...
