Principles and procedures for determining absolute differential electron-molecule (atom) scattering cross sections
TL;DR: In this article, the absolute elastic and inelastic differential cross sections (DCS) for electron impact on molecular (atomic) species are described and illustrated by examples, and a method of determining absolute differential electron-molecule scattering cross sections is generally applicable and provides reliable results.

Central plasma sheet ion properties as inferred from ionospheric observations
Simon Wing,Patrick T. Newell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of inferring central plasma sheet (CPS) temperature, density, and pressure from ionospheric observations is developed, which can be studied in its entirely, rather than only in fragments.

Statistical Error Propagation
TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of statistical errors in functions of correlated variables is studied on a number of linear and nonlinear functions of parameters from lin... and non-linear functions from lin

Crater size-frequency distributions and a revised Martian relative chronology
TL;DR: In this article, a relative plotting technique is applied to Viking 1:2M photomosaics of 25,826 Martian craters of diameter greater than 8 km and age younger than that of the Martian surface.

Composition of interstellar clouds in the disk and halo. I - HD 93521
TL;DR: In this article, the spectrum of HD 149881, a halo star 1300 pc above the Galactic plane, has been analyzed, based on high-resolution GHRS data from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) together with 21 cm emission observations and profiles of Na I and Ca II features.
