The meteoroid hazard for space navigationThanks to post-flight analyses of several artificial satellites carried out during last years, the meteoroids hazard for space navigation and in-orbit satellites permanence is now clear. Even if…Luigi Foschini·Jan 5, 1999SaveLearn
Generalised-Lorentzian ThermodynamicsWe extend the recently developed non-gaussian thermodynamic formalism tre98 of a (presumably strongly turbulent) non-Markovian medium to its most general form that allows for the formulation…R. A. Treumann·Aug 26, 1998SaveLearn
Electromagnetic interferences from plasmas generated in meteoroids impactsIt is shown that the plasma, generated during an impact of a meteoroid with an artificial satellite, can produce electromagnetic radiation below the microwave frequency range. This interference is…Luigi Foschini·Apr 23, 1998SaveLearn
A New Pleiades Member at the Lithium Substellar BoundaryWe present the discovery of an object in the Pleiades open cluster, named Teide 2, with optical and infrared photometry which place it on the cluster sequence slightly below the expected substellar…E.

Dissipative Dynamics of Collisionless Nonlinear Alfven Wave TrainsThe nonlinear dynamics of collisionless Alfven trains, including resonant particle effects is studied using the kinetic nonlinear Schroedinger (KNLS) equation model. Numerical solutions of the KNLS…M. V. Medvedev, P. H. Diamond, V. I. Shevchenko et al.·Jul 26, 1997SaveLearn
The determination of shock ramp width using the noncoplanar magnetic field componentWe determine a simple expression for the ramp width of a collisionless fast shock, based upon the relationship between the noncoplanar and main magnetic field components. By comparing this predicted…J. A. Newbury, C. T. Russell, M. Gedalin·Feb 9, 1997SaveLearn
Pick-up ion dynamics at the structured quasi-perpendicular shockWe study the pickup ion dynamics and mechanism of multiple reflection and acceleration at the structured quasi-perpendicular supercritical shock. The motion of the pickup ions in the shock is studied…D. Zilbersher, M. Gedalin·Jan 1, 1997SaveLearn
