UV Spectropolarimetry With Polstar: Protoplanetary Disks

Polstar is a proposed NASA MIDEX mission that carries a high resolution UV spectropolarimeter capable of measure all four Stokes parameters onboard a 60 cm telescope. The mission has been designed to pioneer the field of time-domain UV spectropolarimetry. Time domain UV spectropolarimetry offers the best resource to determine the geometry and physical conditions of protoplanetary disks from the stellar surface to <5 AU.We detail two key objectives that a dedicated time domain UV spectropolarimetry survey, such as that enabled by Polstar or a similar mission concept, could achieve: 1) Test the hypothesis that magneto-accretion operating in young planet-forming disks around lower-mass stars transitions to boundary layer accretion in planet-forming disks around higher mass stars; and 2) Discriminate whether transient events in the innermost regions of planet-forming disks of intermediate mass stars are caused by inner disk misalignments or from stellar or disk emissions.

The secondary maxima in black hole X-ray nova light curves - Clues toward a complete picture

We study the secondary maxima observed commonly in the X-ray/optical light curves of black hole X-ray novae and show that they can play an important role in our understanding of the X-ray nova phenomenon. We discuss the observational characteristics of the secondary maxima and possible mechanisms to produce them. We propose a complete scenario for black hole X-ray nova events. The main outburst is caused by a disk instability. The second maximum is caused by X-ray evaporation of the matter near the inner Lagrangian (L1) region when the disk becomes optically thin. The third maximum (or the final minioutburst) is due to a mass transfer instability caused by hard X-ray heating of the subphotospheric layers of the secondary during the outburst. We predict that the newly discovered X-ray nova GRO J0422 + 32 may develop a final minioutburst in early 1993 and that its binary orbital period is less than 7 hr.

A skin friction gauge for impulsive flows

A new skin friction gauge has been designed for use in impulsive facilities. The gauge was tested in the T4 free piston shock tunnel, at the University of Queensland, using a 1.5 m long plate that formed one of the inner walls of a rectangular duct. The test gas was fair and the test section free stream flow had a stagnation enthalpy of 4.7 MJ/kg. Measurements were conducted in a laminar and turbulent boundary layer. The measurements compared well with laminar and turbulent analytical theory.

The FU Orionis Outburst as a Thermal Disk Accretion Event: Detailed Calculations and Comparison to Observations

FU Orionis outbursts are temporary large increases in luminosity: x(40-250) thought to occur repeatedly in all low mass young stellar systems. We discuss detailed calculations of viscous accretion disks suggesting that FU Ori events signify the existence of a protostellar disk transporting mass at a rate of (1-10) x 10(exp -6) Solar Mass/yr, in agreement with theoretical and observational estimates of molecular cloud core collapse rates. Accretion through the inner edge of disks subject to outburst is self-regulated through the thermal ionization instability such that long periods (approximately 1000 yrs) of low mass flux: (1-10) x 10(exp -8) Solar Mass/yr, are punctuated by short periods (approximately 100 yrs) of high mass flux: (1-10) x 10(exp -5) Solar Mass/yr. The unstable region of the disk extends radially only to a distance of approximately 1/4 AU. Beyond this region matter is transported stably at the infall rate. In systems for which M = 1 Solar Mass, with an inner disk edge of 3 Solar Radius, the critical rate for outbursts is 5 x 10(exp -7) Solar Mass/yr independent of the magnitude of the viscous alpha parameter consistent with estimates of boundary layer mass flux in T Tauri stars. We use timescales of observed outbursts to constrain the magnitude of the alpha parameter to be 10(exp -4) where hydrogen is neutral and 10(exp -3) where ionized. Light curves of V1515 Cyg, FU Ori, and V1057 Cyg are reproduced; the latter two require application of a small perturbation in surface density to produce observed rapid rise times. Detailed reply is made to objections to the accretion disk model for outbursts. Comparison to observations are made of time dependent spectral energy distributions, colors, and line-width velocity evolution.

Insulation-Testing Cryostat With Lifting Mechanism

The figure depicts selected aspects of an apparatus for testing thermal-insulation materials for cryogenic systems at temperatures and under vacuum or atmospheric conditions representative of those encountered in use. This apparatus, called "Cryostat-100," is based on the established cryogen-boil-off calorimeter method, according to which the amount of heat that passes through an insulation specimen to a cryogenic fluid in a container, and thus the effective thermal conductance of the specimen, is taken to be proportional to the amount of the cryogenic fluid that boils off from the container. The design of Cryostat-100 is based partly on, and incorporates improvements over, the design of a similar prior apparatus called "Cryostat-1" described in "Improved Methods of Testing Cryogenic Insulation Materials" (KSC-12107 & KSC- 12108), NASA Tech Briefs, Vol. 24, No. 12 (December 2000), page 46. The design of Cryostat-100 also incorporates the best features of two other similar prior apparatuses called "Cryostat-2" (also described in the cited prior article) and "Cryostat- 4." Notable among the improvements in Cryostat-100 is the addition of a lifting mechanism that enables safe, rapid, reliable insertion and removal of insulation specimens and facilitates maintenance operations that involve lifting. As in Cryostat-1, the cold mass is a vertical stainless-steel cylindrical vessel subdivided into a larger measurement vessel with smaller thermal-guard vessels at both ends. During operation, all three vessels are kept filled with liquid nitrogen near saturation at ambient pressure (temperature .77.4 K). The cold mass of Cryostat-100 has a length of 1 m and diameter of 168 mm. Each specimen has a corresponding nominal length and inner diameter and a nominal thickness of 25.4 mm. Specimens that are shorter and have thicknesses between 0 and 50 mm are also acceptable. Bulk-fill, foam, clam-shell, multilayer insulation, and layered materials can be tested over a very wide range of thermal transmission: apparent thermal conductivity from 0.01 to 60 mW/m-K and heat flux from 0.1 to 500 W/sq m. A test in Cryostat-100 can be conducted at any desired gas pressure between ambient atmospheric pressure at one extreme and a vacuum with residual pressure <10(exp -5) torr (<1.33 10(exp -3) Pa) at the other extreme. The residual gas (and purge gas) is typically nitrogen, but can be any suitable purge gas (e.g., helium, argon, or carbon dioxide). Usually, the temperature on the warm boundary of the insulation specimen is maintained near the ambient value (approximately 293 K), while the boiling of liquid nitrogen at atmospheric pressure in the cold mass maintains the temperature on the cold boundary of the specimen at approximately 77 K.

Cryogenic Shrouds for Testing Thermal-Insulation Panels

Cryogenic shrouds have been designed and built for use in thermomechanical testing of samples of thermalinsulation panels on cryogenic vessels. In the original application for which these shrouds were specifically designed, the samples are representative of the large-area thermal-insulation panels on the space-shuttle external tanks that hold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and the purpose of the testing is to demonstrate the ability of bonded layers in the panels to resist delamination under a combination of applied uniaxial mechanical loads and realistic operational temperatures. Presumably, the shrouds and the tests performed by use of them could be modified to enable similar evaluation of thermomechanical properties of thermal-insulation panels for cryogenic vessels other than the external tanks of the space shuttles. The shrouds are required to enable maintenance of required temperatures on the inner and outer surfaces of the thermal-insulation-panel samples, to enable visual observation of the outer surfaces of the samples, and not to introduce any measurable loads into the panels. For each panel sample, there are two shrouds: one to be mounted on the inner surface (the surface that would be in contact with a tank containing a cryogenic liquid during normal use) and one to be mounted on the outer surface (the surface that would be exposed to ambient air or other warmer environment during normal use). The shrouds for testing specimens of thermal-insulation- panels for the liquid-hydrogen tank are made largely of titanium; the shrouds for testing specimens of thermal- insulation-panels for the liquid-oxygen tank are made largely of an aluminum- lithium alloy. The specific temperature requirements are the following: The inner shroud must make it possible to maintain a temperature of 321 degrees F (196 degrees C) [the approximate temperature of liquid nitrogen] or 453 F (about 269 C) [the approximate temperature of liquid helium] on the inner face of the sample. The outer shroud must make it possible to maintain a temperature between 30 degrees and 0 degrees F (between about 34 degrees and about 18 degrees C) on the outer surface of the sample by blowing a cryogenic gas or missile grade air along that surface. To enable viewing of the outer surface of the sample during testing, the outer shroud includes a window comprising two layers of poly(methyl methacrylate) with a gap between them to reduce fogging. To ensure that the shrouds do not introduce any measurable loads into a panel specimen, the shrouds are cushioned on the specimen by seals made of a fluoropolymer-membrane/fabric composite material and are held in place on the specimen by means of symmetrically placed clamps with poly(tetrafluoroethylene) pads. Instrumentation ports for thermocouples and strain gauges used in the tests are incorporated into the shrouds.

Integrated performance of large HDC-capsule implosions on the National Ignition Facility

In this paper, we report on eight, indirect-drive, deuterium–tritium-layered, inertial-confinement-fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility to determine the largest capsule that can be driven symmetrically without relying on cross-beam energy transfer or advanced Hohlraum designs. Targets with inner radii of up to 1050 μm exhibited controllable P 2 symmetry, while larger capsules suffered from diminished equatorial drive. Reducing the Hohlraum gas-fill-density from 0.45 mg/cm 3 to 0.3 mg/cm 3 did not result in a favorable shift of P 2 amplitude as observed in preceding tuning experiments. Reducing the laser-entrance-hole diameter from 4 mm to 3.64 mm decreased polar radiation losses as expected, resulting in an oblate symmetry. The experiments exhibited the expected performance benefit from increased experimental scale, with yields at a fixed implosion velocity roughly following the predicted 1D dependence. With an inner radius of 1050 μm and a case-to-capsule-ratio of 3.0, experiment N181104 is the lowest implosion-velocity experiment to exceed a total neutron yield of 10 16 .

Physical aging in comets

The question of physical aging in cometary nuclei is addressed in order to elucidate the relationship between the past conditions in the protosolar nebula and the present state of the cometary nucleus, and to understand the processes that will physically and chemically alter the nucleus as a function of time. Attention is given to some of the processes that might be responsible for causing aging in comets, namely, radiation damage in the upper layers of the nucleus during the long residences in the Oort cloud, processing from heating and collisions within the Oort cloud, loss of highly volatile species from the nucleus on the first passage through the inner solar system, buildup of a dusty mantle, which can eventually prohibit further sublimation, and a change in the porosity, and hence the thermal properties, of the nucleus. Recent observations suggest that there are distinct differences between 'fresh' Oort cloud comets and thermally processed periodic comets with respect to intrinsic brightness and rate of change of activity as a function of distance.

Microgravity experiments and numerical simulations of rotating convection in a hemispherical layer

Hart el al. (1986) has previously described Spacelab experiments on rotating convection in a hemispherical layer with a spherically symmetric body force. A body force is induced on the dielectric fluid (silicon oil) by applying an electrostatic potential across the gap. Various configurations of temperature forcings are applied on the inner and outer spherical boundaries, which along with the rotation rate and the strength of the body force define the external parameters for each experiment. The present paper will present a review of the past experimental results and some new results from a numerical model of previous and planned experiments.

Gravity Scaling of a Power Reactor Water Shield

Water based reactor shielding is being considered as an affordable option for use on initial lunar surface power systems. Heat dissipation in the shield from nuclear sources must be rejected by an auxiliary thermal hydraulic cooling system. The mechanism for transferring heat through the shield is natural convection between the core surface and an array of thermosyphon radiator elements. Natural convection in a 100 kWt lunar surface reactor shield design has been previously evaluated at lower power levels (Pearson, 2007). The current baseline assumes that 5.5 kW are dissipated in the water shield, the preponderance on the core surface, but with some volumetric heating in the naturally circulating water as well. This power is rejected by a radiator located above the shield with a surface temperature of 370 K. A similarity analysis on a water-based reactor shield is presented examining the effect of gravity on free convection between a radiation shield inner vessel and a radiation shield outer vessel boundaries. Two approaches established similarity: 1) direct scaling of Rayleigh number equates gravity-surface heat flux products, 2) temperature difference between the wall and thermal boundary layer held constant on Earth and the Moon. Nussult number for natural convection (laminar and turbulent) is assumed of form Nu = CRa(sup n). These combined results estimate similarity conditions under Earth and Lunar gravities. The influence of reduced gravity on the performance of thermosyphon heat pipes is also examined.

Space-Time Localization of Plasma Turbulence Using Multiple Spacecraft Radio Links

Space weather is described as the variability of solar wind plasma that can disturb satellites and systems and affect human space exploration. Accurate prediction requires information of the heliosphere inside the orbit of the Earth. However, for predictions using remote sensing, one needs not only plane-of-sky position but also range information the third spatial dimension to show the distance to the plasma disturbances and thus when they might propagate or co-rotate to create disturbances at the orbit of the Earth. Appropriately processed radio signals from spacecraft having communications lines-of-sight passing through the inner heliosphere can be used for this spacetime localization of plasma disturbances. The solar plasma has an electron density- and radio-wavelength-dependent index of refraction. An approximately monochromatic wave propagating through a thin layer of plasma turbulence causes a geometrical-optics phase shift proportional to the electron density at the point of passage, the radio wavelength, and the thickness of the layer. This phase shift is the same for a wave propagating either up or down through the layer at the point of passage. This attribute can be used for space-time localization of plasma irregularities. The transfer function of plasma irregularities to the observed time series depends on the Doppler tracking mode. When spacecraft observations are in the two-way mode (downlink radio signal phase-locked to an uplink radio transmission), plasma fluctuations have a two-pulse response in the Doppler. In the two-way mode, the Doppler time series y2(t) is the difference between the frequency of the downlink signal received and the frequency of a ground reference oscillator. A plasma blob localized at a distance x along the line of sight perturbs the phase on both the up and down link, giving rise to two events in the two-way tracking time series separated by a time lag depending the blob s distance from the Earth: T2-2x/c, where T2 is the two-way time-of-flight of radio waves to/from the spacecraft and c is the speed of light. In some tracking situations, more information is available. For example, with the 5-link Cassini radio system, the plasma contribution to the up and down links, y(sub up)(t) and y(sub dn)(t), can be computed separately. The times series y(sub up)(t) and y(sub dn)(t) respond to a localized plasma blob with one event in each time series. These events are also separated in time by T2-2x/c. By cross-correlating the up and down link Doppler time series, the time separation of the plasma events can be measured and hence the plasma blob s distance from the Earth determined. Since the plane-of-sky position is known, this technique allows localization of plasma events in time and three space dimensions.

The electron diffusion region and its relation to the larger-scale environment

The electron diffusion region forms the inner core of the magnetic reconnection machine. In this region, physical processes act to sustain a reconnection electric field, they accelerate to provide current density, and the heat to provide particle pressure in the current layer. The relative roles of these processes depend on whether the overall geometry is anti-parallel or asymmetric, and whether a guide field is present of not, but the overall concept applies in each case. The EDR is embedded in successively larger regions, starting with the ion diffusion region to even larger scales, where the plasma increasingly behaves like an anisotropic MHD plasma. With our new understanding of how the EDR works, it is of great interest to study how EDR processes couple to the larger scale environment. The ultimate efficacy of the magnetic reconnection is shaped by this interesting example of micro-macro coupling. In this presentation, we present some thoughts pertaining to this topic. In particular, we will discuss how information transport between scales is mediated, and how the very small scales can reach balance with the larger, overall system. We will review any pertinent research and present a set of questions inviting future research.

Behavioral simulations and experimental evaluations of stress induced spatial nonuniformity of dynamic bulk modulus in additive friction stir deposited AA 6061

Additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) is a rapidly developing solid-state additive manufacturing (AM) technology that enables the fabrication of customized products on a relatively large scale. The unique forge-liked process offers high quality products with refined equiaxed microstructure and exceptional mechanical performance. However, in AFSD, the spatially distributed mechanical properties within a deposited layer have not been established so far, due to the lack of a suitable large-scale mapping method. In the present work, an ultrasonic dynamic-elasticity mapping method was employed to map the distribution of physical properties in a AFSD 6061 Al. Strong spatial asymmetries in elastographies were mainly due to the residual stresses. The origin of the asymmetries was investigated through thermo-mechanical simulations of the AFSD process. It was observed that majority of the asymmetries were associated with the mechanical residual stresses instead of the symmetric thermal residual stresses during linear deposition of the AFSD process. However, the thermal residual stresses can be manipulated to become asymmetric with a 90° turn in the linear deposition path, due to the difference between the levels of cooling along the edges of the inner and outer corners. Hence, the mechanical and thermo-mechanical residual stresses can be additive or subtractive depending on the direction of the turns. Here, such numerically predicted behaviors were also experimentally observed on the AFSD fabricated samples by ultrasonic elastography. Furthermore, additional preliminary studies on multi-layer AFSD fabrications show the asymmetric mechanical stresses generated during the deposition process on different layers generate constructive or destructive interference which results to spatially variable dynamic bulk modulus depending on the deposition orientations of layers.

Lunar surface operations. Volume 1: Lunar surface emergency shelter

The lunar surface emergency shelter (LSES) is designed to provide survival-level accommodations for up to four astronauts for a maximum of five days. It would be used by astronauts who were caught out in the open during a large solar event. The habitable section consists of an aluminum pressure shell with an inner diameter of 6 ft. and a length of 12.2 ft. Access is through a 4 in. thick aluminum airlock door mounted at the rear of the shelter. Shielding is provided by a 14.9 in. thick layer of lunar regolith contained within a second, outer aluminum shell. This provides protection against a 200 MeV event, based on a 15 REM maximum dose. The shelter is self-contained with a maximum range of 1000 km. Power is supplied by a primary fuel cell which occupies 70.7 cu ft. of the interior volume. Mobility is achieved by towing the shelter behind existing lunar vehicles. It was assumed that a fully operational, independent lunar base was available to provide communication support and tools for set-up and maintenance. Transportation to the moon would be provided by the proposed heavy lift launch vehicle. Major design considerations for the LSES were safety, reliability, and minimal use of earth materials.

Distribution of nickel(II) ions adsorbed at the muscovite mica (001)-water interface determined by in-situ resonant anomalous X-ray reflectivity

Mineral-water interfaces mediate adsorption, ion exchange, and secondary mineral formation that control element mobility in natural and engineered systems. Reliable prediction and control of these processes require a fundamental understanding of the interfacial structure that links adsorbed ion speciation to macroscopic sorption capacity and strength. Here, we determine atomic-scale changes in hydration and distribution of Ni(II) at the muscovite mica (001)-water interface using in situ high-resolution X-ray reflectivity (XR) and resonant anomalous X-ray reflectivity (RAXR) at 1 mM NiCl2 and pH 5.7. XR reveals reorganization of the primary hydration structure relative to that in deionized water: the water layer adsorbed in the cavity sites at a height of ~1.3 Å disappears, while distinct solution layers emerge at ~2.3, ~4.1, and ~5.6 Å above the basal oxygen plane. RAXR resolves three interfacial Ni(II) species: a dominant outer-sphere complex at 3.65 Å (~80% of the total coverage), a minor inner-sphere complex at 0.75 Å, and a low-coverage, more distant outer-sphere species at 5.63 Å. These three adsorbed Ni(II) species account for a total Ni(II) coverage of 0.54 ± 0.02 ion per unit cell area that compensates for the surface charge. These results highlight the role of interfacial hydration in controlling the speciation and stability of adsorbate cations on the negatively charged mica surface, providing quantitative insight into predicting the geochemical behavior of divalent metal cations in the aqueous environments.

Strontium-84 Enrichments in Presolar Grains Provide First Evidence of p -process Nucleosynthesis in Core-collapse Supernovae

This study reports detection of rare p-process isotopes within presolar grains. Presolar grains are relic dust grains from dying stars. These microscopic dust particles are found in primitive solar system materials. Their distinct isotopic compositions record the nucleosynthetic processes in their parent stars and the Galactic chemical environment in which these stars formed. We studied presolar graphite grains of high-density type from the Murchison meteorite and found five grains with subgrains that show enrichments in 84 Sr compared to the solar abundance. 84 Sr is the neutron-deficient isotope of strontium that can be produced in the deep oxygen-rich interior of high-mass stars that end their lives as core-collapse supernovae. The observed 84 Sr excesses cannot be produced in low-mass asymptotic giant branch stars, the source of most high-density presolar graphites found in meteorites. High-density graphites with embedded 84 Sr excesses are, instead, compatible with a core-collapse supernovae origin. The graphite subgrains condensed from carbon-rich materials in the outer layers of core-collapse supernovae, where 84 Sr was destroyed by neutron captures during hydrostatic evolution of the stars and their final explosion. Based on current theoretical stellar models, a few percent of contribution from the inner regions of core-collapse supernovae, which are enriched in p-process nuclides, to the outer carbon-rich regions is the most likely explanation for the observed enrichment of 84 Sr in the subgrains of the high-density graphites. In this study, we present the first observational evidence that core-collapse supernovae produce and eject isotopes made by the p-process.
