Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors [PDF]
Low temperature detectors have been a subject of intense interest to the scientific community over the last decade. These detectors work at very low temperatures, often well below 1 Kelvin, to minimize the noise in the measurement of photons.

Estimating the contribution from different ionospheric regions to the TEC response to the solar flares using data from the international GPS network [PDF]
This paper proposes a new method for estimating the contribution from different ionospheric regions to the response of total electron content variations to the solar flare, based on data from the international network of two-frequency multichannel ...

Experimental and Analytical Studies of Merging Plasma Loops on the Caltech Solar Loop Experiment [PDF]
Of crucial importance for magnetized plasmas is magnetic helicity, a topological quantity that measures the knottedness or twistedness of the magnetic field. A universal relaxation theory, applicable to astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, dictates the

Multi-instrument observations of the ionospheric counterpart of a bursty bulk flow in the near-Earth plasma sheet [PDF]
International audienceOn 07 September 2001 the Cluster spacecraft observed a "bursty bulk flow" event in the near-Earth central plasma sheet. This paper presents a detailed study of the coincident ground-based observations and attempts to place them ...

A Year-Long Plateau in the Late-Time Near-Infrared Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae [PDF]
The light curves of Type Ia supernovae are routinely used to constrain cosmology models. Driven by radioactive decay of 56Ni, the light curves steadily decline over time, but >150 days after explosion, the near-infrared portion is poorly characterized ...

Discovery of near-ultraviolet counterparts to millisecond pulsars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae [PDF]
We report the discovery of the likely white dwarf companions to radiomillisecond pulsars 47 Tuc Q and 47 Tuc S in the globular cluster 47Tucanae. These blue stars were found in near-ultraviolet images from theHubble Space Telescope for which we derived ...

Multi-wavelength view of the galactic black-hole binary GRS 1716–249 [PDF]
The origins of X-ray and radio emissions during an X-ray binary outburst are comparatively better understood than those of ultraviolet, optical and infrared radiation. This is because multiple competing mechanisms – emission from intrinsic and irradiated

Imprints from the solar cycle on the helium atom and helium pickup ion distributions [PDF]
Neutral interstellar helium atoms penetrate into the solar system almost unaffected by gas–plasma interactions in the heliospheric interface region, and thus can be considered as carriers of original information on the basic parameters (like ...
