TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the ionosphere was proposed to guide the analysis and interpretation of the radio occultation data, and the model predicts a peak IEC of 1.8Õ×Õ1011 cm − 2 for an occultation at the terminator, slightly smaller than the threshold of detection by New Horizons.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The MAGIC project as mentioned in this paper has developed an instrument and analysis techniques to sample for the first time MSPs in the mesosphere and return them to the ground for detailed analysis in the laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of O2(b¹Σg) as a possible source of OH and odd‐nitrogen in the stratosphere and mesosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, a one dimensional photochemical model has been used to evaluate the hypothesis that the oxidation of H2 and N2O by O2(b¹Σg) could lead to significant production of OH and odd-nitrogen in the middle atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the brightness temperatures for disk-resolved and unresolved observations of Pluto and Charon during the flyby on 14 July 2015, at a wavelength of 4.17 cm (7.18 GHz).
