Optical High-Capacity Satellite Downlinks via High-Altitude Platform Relays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Earth-observation (EO) satellite missions produce a large amount of data using high-resolution optical or radar sensors. During the last decades the amount of data has steadily increased due to improved sensor technologies with increased temporal ...

Catching profound optical flares in blazars

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023
ABSTRACT Flaring episodes in blazars represent one of the most violent processes observed in extra-galactic objects. Studies of such events shed light on the energetics of the physical processes occurring in the innermost regions of blazars, which cannot otherwise be resolved by any current instruments.

Results of the Optical Downlink Experiment KIODO from OICETS Satellite to Optical Ground Station Oberpfaffenhofen (OGS-OP) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Optical LEO downlinks from the Japanese OICETS to the optical ground station built by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) near Munich have been performed. This was the first optical LEO downlink on European grounds.

Statistical studies of low-power solar flares. Distribution of flares by area, brightness, and classes

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2017
An electronic database has been created for 123801 solar flares that occurred on the Sun over the period from 1972 to 2010. It is based on catalogs of the Solar Geophysical Data (SGD) and Quarterly Bulletin on Solar Activity.

Optical and Ultraviolet Stellar Flare Spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1983
As for solar flares, one of the most physically revealing types of data for M-dwarf flares are high-resolution, time-resolved spectra. Due to the intrinsically faint nature of the M-dwarf stars, spectroscopic data has tended to be of low spectral (˜ 5 Ǻ) and temporal (˜ 5 min) resolution. However, with the development of image intensified spectrographs

Performance optimization of free-space optical communication protocols based on results from FSO demonstrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The mobile free-space optical channel mainly suffers from relatively long link outages, produced by short-term blockings of the line-of-sight (obstacles, clouds), pointing- and tracking-errors or deep signal-fades caused by index of refraction turbulence

Optical Flares of Cygnus X-1 [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1998
Photoelectric observations of Cyg X-1 in 1996-97 fulfilled in Tien-Shan, Kazakhstan (WBVR), Mt. Maidanak, Uzbekistan (UBVR) and in Crimea, Ukraine (UBV) have detected unusual optical flare activity. During May-August 1996 Cyg X-1 was in high soft X-ray state and after August 9, 1996 it returned to its ordinary state but with some evidences of X-ray ...

Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. III. Evidence of Enhanced Nanoflaring Rates in Fully Convective stars as Observed by the NGTS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Previous examinations of fully convective M-dwarf stars have highlighted enhanced rates of nanoflare activity on these distant stellar sources. However, the specific role the convective boundary, which is believed to be present for spectral types earlier
