A Drone-mounted Magnetometer System for Automatic Interference Removal and Landmine Detection

Alex Paul Hoffmann, Matthew G. Finley, Eftyhia Zesta +2

Landmines have been extensively used in conflict zones as an indiscriminate weapon to control military movements, often remaining active long after hostilities have ended. Their pr…

Tracking Reentries of Starlink Satellites During the Rising Phase of Solar Cycle 25

Denny M. Oliveira, Eftyhia Zesta, Katherine Garcia-Sage

The exponential increase of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites in the past 5 years has brought into intense focus the need for reliable monitoring and reentry prediction to safeguard…

The 10 October 2024 geomagnetic storm may have caused the premature reentry of a Starlink satellite

Denny M. Oliveira, Eftyhia Zesta, Dibyendu Nandy

In this short communication, we qualitatively analyze possible effects of the 10 October 2024 geomagnetic storm on accelerating the reentry of a Starlink satellite from very low-Ea…

First direct observations of interplanetary shock impact angle effects on actual geomagnetically induced currents: The case of the Finnish natural gas pipeline system

Denny M. Oliveira, Eftyhia Zesta, Sergio Vidal-Luengo

The impact of interplanetary (IP) shocks on the Earth's magnetosphere can greatly disturb the geomagnetic field and electric currents in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. At hig…

Semiclassical limit problems with concurrent use of several clocks in quantum cosmology

Bruno Alexandre, João Magueijo

We revisit a recent proposal for a definition of time in quantum cosmology, to investigate the effects of having more than one possible type of clock "at the same time". We use as…

The current state and future directions of modeling thermosphere density enhancements during extreme magnetic storms

Denny M. Oliveira, Eftyhia Zesta, Piyush M. Mehta +4

Satellites, crewed spacecraft and stations in low-Earth orbit (LEO) are very sensitive to atmospheric drag. A satellite's lifetime and orbital tracking become increasingly inaccura…
