A section 110 evaluation of the huron king test chamber, area 3, nevada national security site, nye county, nevada

The U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Field Office tasked Desert Research Institute (DRI) with the identification and evaluation of the Huron King Test Chamber as part of their cultural resources program obligations under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Huron King nuclear test was a vertical line-of-sight weapons effects test that took place in Area 3 on June 24, 1980. Unique to this event was a specially designed aboveground test chamber that held a model defense communications satellite in a vacuum tank meant to replicate the space environment. Sponsored by the Defense Nuclear Agency, the purpose of the experiment was to understand the response of the satellite and its materials and equipment to an electromagnetic pulse and attendant radiation. Between July and August 2022, DRI conducted an archival review on the Huron King experiment and its associated test chamber. Subsequently, pedestrian fieldwork was undertaken at the Huron King Test Chamber by DRI on September 29, 2022. During fieldwork, the outside of the test chamber was documented using a Nevada State Historic Preservation Office Architectural Resource Assessment form. This effort included verifying the substructures that compose the test chamber as determined by the archival review, as well as obtaining a detailed photographic recordation of the exterior and assessing its current condition. Notably, the site where the Huron King test took place has been abandoned and almost entirely naturalized. All of the portable instrumentation trailers, communications and data cabling, and winch systems used to retract the test chamber following the detonation were removed after completion of the experiment in 1980. Only the subsidence crater and the test chamber remain as physical evidence of this experiment. Based on these findings, DRI recommends that the Huron King Test Chamber is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) at the local level under Significance Criteria A and C and that it meets Criteria Consideration G for properties less than 50 years old.

An Automated Probabilistic Asteroid Prediscovery Pipeline

We present an automated and probabilistic method to make prediscovery detections of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) in archival survey images, with the goal of reducing orbital uncertainty immediately after discovery. We refit the Minor Planet Center's astrometry and propagate the full six-parameter covariance to survey epochs to define search regions. We build low-threshold source catalogs for viable images and evaluate every detected source in a search region as a candidate prediscovery. We eliminate false positives by refitting a new orbit to each candidate and probabilistically linking detections across images using a likelihood ratio. Applied to the Zwicky Transient Facility's (ZTF) imaging, we identify approximately 3000 recently discovered NEAs with prediscovery potential, including a doubling of the observational arc for about 500. We use archival ZTF imaging to make prediscovery detections of the potentially hazardous asteroid 2021 DG1, extending its arc by 2.5 yr and reducing future apparition sky plane uncertainty from many degrees to arcseconds. We also recover 2025 FU24 nearly 7 yr before its first known observation, when its sky plane uncertainty covers hundreds of square degrees across thousands of ZTF images. The method is survey agnostic and scalable, enabling rapid orbit refinement for new discoveries from Rubin, NEO Surveyor, and NEOMIR.

Improved Spectral Classification of Local K/M Dwarfs in SDSS Surveys. I. Chemodynamic Validation and Metallicity Calibration

An examination of 109,276 spectra of low-mass stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data archive, collected pre-2010, provides a broad collection of K/M (sub)dwarfs tracing the local (d ≲ 250 pc) population of the thin-disk, thick-disk, and halo, based on 3D kinematics. These populations have distinct metallicities and kinematics, which should be reflected in lower-mass members. One complication is measuring metallicities of M dwarfs from low-resolution spectroscopy or photometry alone remains a challenge, even with the availability of Gaia data. To better characterize physical parameters of low-mass stars observed by SDSS, we define a set of 536 improved, empirical K/M dwarf classification templates to more accurately determine spectral subtypes (K5.5–M8.5) and morphology classes (MCs) (0.5–12.5). We select the best-fit template to every archival SDSS spectrum in the range 5000–8000 Å based on minimum χ 2 value. We then use secondary metallicity estimators to calibrate the most likely [Fe/H] values corresponding to the assigned MC. We confirm that the most metal-rich K/M dwarfs have thin-disk kinematics, and we observe the known effect of Galactic radial metallicity migration, which we confirm is strongly imprinted in the chemodynamics of the local disk M dwarfs. Confirmation of these chemodynamic trends validates the precision of our improved templates for estimating [Fe/H] for M (sub)dwarfs, notably at the low-metallicity end (–3 < [Fe/H] < –1). Substructure in the chemodynamics of the most metal-poor K/M subdwarfs begins to distinguish between local Gaia-Enceladus and local in situ halo objects. This methodology opens the door to use the ubiquitous, local K/M (sub)dwarfs to trace local Galactic chemodynamics with the highest possible resolution.

Fractography

This is the mechanical testing data archive from a neutron irradiation campaign of nuclear structural alloys fabricated by powder metallurgy with hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP). Data in this archive include uniaxial tensile testing data, fractography of selected tensile bars, and nanoindentation. The irradiation campaign was designed to facilitate a direct comparison of PM-HIP to conventional casting or forging. Five common nuclear structural alloys were included in the campaign: 316L stainless steel, SA508 pressure vessel steel, Grade 91 ferritic steel, and Ni-base alloys 625 and 690. Irradiations were carried out in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to target doses of 1 and 3 displacements per atom (dpa) at target temperatures of 300ºC and 400ºC through the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) project 15-8242.
