  • Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Climate

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Use of occultation methodology for observing the Earth's atmosphere and climate has become so broad as to comprise solar, lunar, stellar, navigation and satellite crosslink occultation methods. The atmospheric parameters obtained extend from the fundamental variables temperature, density, pressure, water vapor, and ozone via a multitude of trace gas species to particulate species such as aerosols ...

  • Characterizing Stellar and Exoplanetary Environments

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this book an international group of specialists discusses studies of exoplanets subjected to extreme stellar radiation and plasma conditions. It is shown that such studies will help us to understand how terrestrial planets and their atmospheres, including the early Venus, Earth and Mars, evolved during the host star’s active early phase. The book presents an analysis of findings from Hubble ... Read more

  • Carl Størmer

    Auroral Pioneer

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This biography summarizes the seminal contributions to auroral and space science of Carl Størmer (1874 - 1957). He was the first to develop precise photographic methods to calculate heights and morphologies of diverse auroral forms during four solar cycles. Størmer independently devised numerical techniques to determine the trajectories of high-energy charged particles allowed and forbidden in the ... Read more

  • Modelling the Upper Atmosphere of Gas-Giant Exoplanets Irradiated by Low-Mass Stars

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This PhD thesis details the development of a new 1D ionospheric model to describe the upper atmospheres of extrasolar giant plants. The upper atmospheres of Hot Jupiters are subject to extreme radiation conditions that can result in rapid atmospheric escape. The composition and structure of these planets’ upper atmospheres are affected by high-energy emissions from the host star. The nature of ... Read more

  • The Asteroid Impact Connection of Planetary Evolution

    With Special Reference to Large Precambrian and Australian impacts

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    When in 1981 Louis and Walter Alvarez, the father and son team, unearthed a tell-tale Iridium-rich sedimentary horizon at the 65 million years-old Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary at Gubbio, Italy, their find heralded a paradigm shift in the study of terrestrial evolution. Since the 1980s the discovery and study of asteroid impact ejecta in the oldest well-preserved terrains of Western Australia and ... Read more

  • Electrifying Atmospheres: Charging, Ionisation and Lightning in the Solar System and Beyond

    by Karen Aplin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Electrical processes take place in all planetary atmospheres. There is evidence for lightning on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is possible on Mars and Titan, and cosmic rays ionise every atmosphere, leading to charged droplets and particles. Controversy surrounds the role of atmospheric electricity in physical climate processes on Earth; here, a comparative approach is employed to ... Read more
