Solar sail propulsion: enabling new capabilities for heliophysics
L. Johnson, R. Young, D. Alhorn +13
Solar sails can play a critical role in enabling solar and heliophysics missions. Solar sail technology within NASA is currently at 80% of TRL-6, suitable for an in-flight technolo…
Hazards Induced by Breach of Liquid Rocket Fuel Tanks: Conditions and Risks of Cryogenic Liquid Hydrogen-Oxygen Mixture Explosions
Viatcheslav Osipov, Cyrill Muratov, Halyna Hafiychuk +5
We analyze the data of purposeful rupture experiments with LOx and LH2 tanks, the Hydrogen-Oxygen Vertical Impact (HOVI) tests that were performed to clarify the ignition mechanism…
X-rays from solar system objects
Anil Bhardwaj, Ronald F. Elsner, G. Randall Gladstone +11
During the last few years our knowledge about the X-ray emission from bodies within the solar system has significantly improved. Several new solar system objects are now known to s…
Detection of a Thermal Spectral Component in the Prompt Emission of GRB 100724B
Sylvain Guiriec, Valerie Connaughton, Michael S. Briggs +29
Observations of GRB 100724B with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) find that the spectrum is dominated by the typical Band functional form, which is usually taken to represen…
When A Standard Candle Flickers
Colleen A. Wilson-Hodge, Michael L. Cherry, Wayne H. Baumgartner +27
The Crab Nebula is the only hard X-ray source in the sky that is both bright enough and steady enough to be easily used as a standard candle. As a result, it has been used as a nor…
ProtoEXIST: Advanced Prototype CZT Coded Aperture Telescopes for EXIST
Branden Allen, Jaesub Hong, Josh Grindlay +9
{\it ProtoEXIST1} is a pathfinder for the {\it EXIST-HET}, a coded aperture hard X-ray telescope with a 4.5 m CZT detector plane a 9070 degree field of view to be flown…
