Electron Density Distributions and Atomic Charges *
Accurate electron densities and X-ray form factors of Li, Be, F and their ions have been calculated. Electron correlation, crystal fields and ionic charge transfer change the form factors by up to a few percent, mainly in the range of sin 0 /k < | Ä " 1 . Although electron correlation and crystal fields are small perturbations, their effects on the density and form factor are not additive. Dens...
متن کاملNightside ionosphere of Mars studied with local electron densities: A general overview and electron density depressions
[1] The radar sounder Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) on the Mars Express spacecraft provides local electron densities from electron plasma oscillations. Here, we use the local electron densities to study the nightside ionosphere of Mars. In this study, in which local densities were sampled to a minimum altitude of about 275 km, we measured the maximum avera...
متن کاملTwo Transiting Low Density Sub-saturns from K2
We report the discovery and confirmation of K2-24 b and c, two sub-Saturn planets orbiting a bright (V= 11.3), metal-rich ([Fe/H]= 0.42±0.04 dex) G3 dwarf in the K2 Campaign 2 field. The planets are 5.68±0.56 RÅ and 7.82±0.72 RÅ and have orbital periods of 20.8851±0.0003 days and 42.3633±0.0006 days, near the 2:1 mean-motion resonance. We obtained 32 radial velocities with Keck/HIRE...
متن کاملAnomalous electron density events in the quiet summer ionosphere at solar minimum over Millstone Hill
This study compares the observed behavior of the F region ionosphere over Millstone Hill with calculations from the IZMIRAN model for solar minimum for the geomagnetically quiet period 23±25 June 1986, when anomalously low values of hmF 2 <200 km) were observed. We found that these low values of hmF 2 (seen as a G condition on ionograms) exist in the ionosphere due to a decrease of production r...
متن کاملMapping electron density in the ionosphere: A principal component MCMC algorithm
The outer layers of the Earth’s atmosphere are known as the ionosphere, a plasma of free electrons and positively charged atomic ions. The electron density of the ionosphere varies considerably with time of day, season, geographical location and the sun’s activity. Maps of electron density are useful because local changes in this density can produce inaccuracies in the Navy Navigation Satellite...
