Ion reflection by the TSS-1R satellite
نویسندگان
چکیده
The results of the TSS-1R mission generated several scientific puzzles. First the current collection was much more efficient than predicted on the basis of theoretical models, and previous laboratory and rocket experiments. Second, a sharp transition in the interaction physics occurred at threshold potentials between 5-10 V. Third, a significant population of suprathermal electrons, heated ionospheric ons, and enhanced plasma waves were observed in the ram direction, following the transition. The letter contains a preliminary examination of the extent to which these phenomena are related to the interaction of the impinging ambient ram O + ions with the sheath surrounding the TSS satellite.

An Improved Electron Pre-Sheath Model for TSS-1R Current Enhancement Computations
This report presents improvements of investigations on the Tethered Satellite System (TSS)-1R electron current enhancement due to magnetic limited collections. New analytical expressions are obtained for the potential and temperature changes across the pre-sheath. The mathematical treatments in this work are more rigorous than one past approach. More experimental measurements collected in the i...
متن کاملImpact of the spatial resolution of satellite remote sensing sensors in the quantification of total suspended sediment concentration: A case study in turbid waters of Northern Western Australia
The impact of anthropogenic activities on coastal waters is a cause of concern because such activities add to the total suspended sediment (TSS) budget of the coastal waters, which have negative impacts on the coastal ecosystem. Satellite remote sensing provides a powerful tool in monitoring TSS concentration at high spatiotemporal resolution, but coastal managers should be mindful that the sat...

متن کاملThe Ewing sarcoma protein (EWS) binds directly to the proximal elements of the macrophage-specific promoter of the CSF-1 receptor (csf1r) gene.
Many macrophage-specific promoters lack classical transcriptional start site elements such as TATA boxes and Sp1 sites. One example is the CSF-1 receptor (CSF-1R, CD115, c-fms), which is used as a model of the transcriptional regulation of macrophage genes. To understand the molecular basis of start site recognition in this gene, we identified cellular proteins binding specifically to the trans...
