Mars Atmospheric Entry Integrated Navigation with Partial Intermittent Measurements by Tai-shan Lou, Yan Wang, Guo-qiang Ding, Liang-yu Zhao

“…In the brownout period, the range measurements between the vehicle and the orbiters are modeled as intermittent measurements with the radio signal arrival probabilities, which are distributed as a Rayleigh distribution of the electron number density around the entry vehicle. A new integrated navigation strategy during the Mars atmospheric entry phase is proposed to consider the probabilities of the radio measurements in the communications brownout and blackout periods under the IMU/beacon scenario based on the information filter with intermittent measurements. …”

Enhanced Optical and Infrared Activity of Nanosphere Dimers Attributed to Dimer Geometry by D. Keith Roper, Jin-Woo Kim, Ricardo R. Romo, Joseph Batta-Mpouma

“…The features observed in the experimental spectra were attributed to a select number of dimers exhibiting predominantly optical and infrared activity, consistent with observations made in the corresponding transmission electron microscope image. The preparation and simulation methods in the present work appear useful to guide design, fabrication, and implementation of sustainably-synthesized nanosphere dimers with desired optical features for optoelectronic, spectroscopic, and sensing applications.…”

Investigation for Possible Association of the Topside and Bottomside Ionospheric Irregularities over the Midlatitude Ionosphere by Krishnendu Sekhar Paul, Haris Haralambous

“…The present study investigates the characteristics of ionospheric irregularities at middle latitudes by examining the association between spread F (SF) events detected by Digisondes and medium-scale travelling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) detected by GNSS with a special emphasis on the coupling with topside irregularities observed by Swarm satellites based on in situ electron density (Ne) measurements. We analyzed SF events over the European midlatitude region from 2015 to 2017, over six Digisonde stations coinciding with Swarm satellite overpasses. …”
