[1] The Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ) produces a strong magnetic signal in measurements of the low-orbiting CHAMP satellite. Six years of data with more than 30,000 dayside equator crossings provide a unique data basis to study this current system. In addition to scalar measurements used in previous studies, we have also inverted vector magnetic field measurements to gain accurate meridional prof...

The German research satellite CHAMP, launched on July 15, 2000, features two tracking systems: a GPS Black Jack flight receiver and a Laser Retro Reflector (LRR). For operating the ground station network of the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) orbit predictions are needed. In order to meet the accuracy requirements of the SLR technique orbit predictions for CHAMP are generated at 12-h...

We employ the Chandra Multiwavelength Project (ChaMP) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to study the fraction of X-ray-active galaxies in the field to z = 0.7. We utilize spectroscopic redshifts from SDSS and ChaMP, as well as photometric redshifts from several SDSS catalogs, to compile a parent sample of more than 100,000 SDSS galaxies and nearly 1,600 Chandra X-ray detections. Detailed ...

This paper examines whether the radio occultation (RO) measurements of the tropopause region are able to improve radiometric tropospheric profile retrievals, as represented by the ATOVS (Advanced TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder) temperature and humidity soundings from the NOAA16 (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) satellite. First, a simulation study is presented wherein a stat...

MEF2C is a MADS-box transcription factor required for cardiac myogenesis and morphogenesis. In MEF2C mutant mouse embryos, heart development arrests at the looping stage (embryonic day 9.0), the future right ventricular chamber fails to form, and cardiomyocyte differentiation is disrupted. To identify genes regulated by MEF2C in the developing heart, we performed differential array analysis cou...

Fig. 1. The German CHAMP satellite (view from antivelocity direction with GPS occultation antennas) Abstract: The German CHAMP (Challenging Minisatellite Payload) satellite (launched on July 15, 2000) is a geoscience mission aiming for the determination of Earth’s gravity and magnetic field and for GPS-based atmospheric sounding. The atmospheric profiling experiment onboard CHAMP was started in...

The Chandra Multi-wavelength Project (ChaMP): a serendipitous survey with Chandra archival data. Abstract. The launch of the Chandra X-ray Observatory in July 1999 opened a new era in X-ray astronomy. Its unprecedented, < 0.5 " spatial resolution and low background are providing views of the X-ray sky 10-100 times fainter than previously possible. We have initiated a serendipitous survey (ChaMP...
