Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of the Jupiter Global Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Model: A case study of auroral electron energy deposition
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-hydrostatic global atmospheric model coupled with a two-stream electron transport model was used to investigate auroral energy deposition using a nonhydrostatics model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Vaporization Threshold: Hypervelocity Impacts of Ice Grains into a Titanium Cassini Spacecraft Instrument Chamber
TL;DR: In this paper, small ice grains (1 micron across) were impacted into a titanium alloy at a range of speeds of interest, and the formation of a titanium vapor plume began at impact velocities of 16 km/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microchannel plate detector detection efficiency to monoenergetic electrons between 3 and 28 keV.
TL;DR: An unshielded microchannel plate (MCP) detector with an ultrafine pore diameter of 2 μm was irradiated by an electron beam to determine the detection efficiency of electrons for creating detector signals, or counts, and experimental data showed lower detection efficiencies compared with previously published data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microchannel Plate Detection Efficiency to Monoenergetic Photons Between 0.66 and 20 MeV
TL;DR: In this paper, the response of a microchannel plate (MCP) detector to isotropic radioactive source emissions at photon energies of 0.662 and approximately 1.25 million electronvolts (MeV) and to a beam of monoenergetic photons (gamma rays) at 2.5, 5, 7, 10, 13, and 20 MeV in the Free Electron Laser Laboratory at Duke University was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial distribution of low mass negative ions from 28 Titan flybys with favorable observations between 26 October 2004 and 22 May 2012 was analyzed and compared to the total electron density measured by Cassini's Langmuir Probe.
