Crater Population and Resurfacing at the Martian North Pole
Introduction: The Martian north polar residual cap (NRC) lies on top of the north polar layered deposits (NPLD). The NRC is about 1m thick and composed primarily of large-grained, dust-poor water ice [1]. The mass balance of the polar cap is uncertain. Long-term monitoring reveals small reversible changes in its extent on an interannual basis [2]. Images with a pixel scale of up to 0.25 m/pixel...
متن کاملThe North Ecliptic Pole Supercluster
We have used the ROSAT All-Sky Survey to detect a known supercluster at z = 0.087 in the North Ecliptic Pole region. The X-ray data greatly improve our understanding of this supercluster’s characteristics, approximately doubling our knowledge of the structure’s spatial extent and tripling the cluster/group membership compared to the optical discovery data. The supercluster is a rich structure c...
متن کاملSUSY at the Pole
We study the role neutrino telescopes could play in discovering supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with a long-lived stau next-to-lightest superparticle. In such a setup, pairs of staus are produced by cosmic neutrino interactions in the Earth matter. In optimistic scenarios, one can expect several pair events per year in a cubic kilometer detector such as IceCube. We also show tha...
متن کاملCharacterizing Polar Layered Deposits at the Martian North Pole: Current Results
Introduction: Within the northern residual polar cap of Mars are dark lanes or troughs; on the walls of these exposures are layered deposits. These deposits consist of extensive lateral layers of ice and dust and are found throughout the polar cap. They were first identified in Mariner 9 images [1, 2] and later studied in detail with the Viking orbiters [e. g. 3, 4, 5, 6]. In these images, the ...
متن کاملFrom 'third pole' to north pole: a Himalayan origin for the arctic fox.
The 'third pole' of the world is a fitting metaphor for the Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau, in allusion to its vast frozen terrain, rivalling the Arctic and Antarctic, at high altitude but low latitude. Living Tibetan and arctic mammals share adaptations to freezing temperatures such as long and thick winter fur in arctic muskox and Tibetan yak, and for carnivorans, a more predatory niche. Here, we ...
