Solar Corona Amplitude Scintillation Modeling and Comparison to Measurements at X-Band and Ka-Band
Signal-strength fluctuations on a spacecraft-to-Earth link due to solar charged particles can degrade telemetry performance. The degree of amplitude scintillation induced on an emitted spacecraft signal by the intervening charged particles of the solar corona during a spacecraft-to-Earth superior conjunction depends on the minimum distance from the Sun of the signal ray path (solar elongation),...
متن کاملMeasurements of the wavelength dependence and other properties of stellar scintillation at Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
The variance of intensity of stellar scintillation has been measured as a function of wavelength using photon counting and on-line digital analysis techniques. The experimental data are consistent with that predicted by the theory of Tatarski. Measurements of the temporal correlation function of intensity and the higher moments of the probability density function of scintillation are also descr...
متن کاملGravitational Wave Scintillation by a Stellar Cluster
General Relativity predicts the existence of gravitational waves that propagate in the vacuum with the speed of light. Analogously to electromagnetism, it is expected that gravitational waves might also be scattered by intervening particles 1,2,3 and micro-lensed by compact objects along the line of sight 4,5,6. Moreover, gravitational waves will be diffracted as they pass through a distributio...
متن کاملDetermination of Stellar Radii from Asteroseismic Data
The NASA Kepler mission is designed to find planets through transits. Accurate and precise radii of the detected planets depend on knowing the radius of the host star accurately, which is difficult unless the temperature and luminosity of the star are known precisely. Kepler, however, has an asteroseismology programme that will provide seismic variables that can characterise stellar radii easil...
متن کاملScintillation Characteristics across the GPS Frequency Band
We investigate the characteristics of ionospheric scintillation across the entire GPS frequency band spanning the L5–L1 carrier signals (1176 MHz–1575 MHz). Of particular interest is the intensity correlation between carrier pairs, since this dictates the extent to which frequency diversity may be leveraged to mitigate scintillation impacts on navigation accuracy. Since only a few satellites cu...
