The FLUKA atmospheric neutrino flux calculation
The 3–dimensional (3–D) calculation of the atmospheric neutrino flux by means of the FLUKA Monte Carlo model is here described in all details, starting from the latest data on primary cosmic ray spectra. The importance of a 3–D calculation and of its consequences have been already debated in a previous paper. Here instead the focus is on the absolute flux. We stress the relevant aspects of the ...
متن کاملThe Apsidal Precession for Low Earth Sun Synchronized Orbits
By nodal regression and apsidal precession, the Earth flattering at satellite low Earth orbits (LEO) is manifested. Nodal regression refers to the shift of the orbit’s line of nodes over time as Earth revolves around the Sun. Nodal regression is orbit feature utilized for circular orbits to be Sun synchronized. A sun-synchronized orbit lies in a plane that maintains a fixed angle with respect t...
متن کاملThe Inclination Window for Low Earth Sun Synchronized Satellite Orbits
Generally, circular orbits of satellites are categorized as Geosynchronous Earth Orbits (GEO), Medium Earth Orbits (MEO) and Low Earth Orbits (LEO). The main difference between them is their attitude above the Earth’s surface (Richharia, 1999; Roddy, 2006; Maral and Bousquet, 2002). The Sun synchronization feature is typical for LEOs. Sun synchronized low Earth orbits have a very wide applicati...
متن کاملThe Albedo Distribution of near Earth Asteroids
The cryogenic Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission in 2010 was extremely sensitive to asteroids and not biased against detecting dark objects. The albedos of 428 near Earth asteroids (NEAs) observed by WISEduring its fully cryogenic mission can be fit quite well by a threeparameter function that is the sum of two Rayleigh distributions. The Rayleigh distribution is zero for nega...
متن کاملThe Euphrosyne Family’s Contribution to the Low Albedo Near-earth Asteroids
The Euphrosyne asteroid family is uniquely situated at high inclination in the outer Main Belt, bisected by the 6 n secular resonance. This large, low albedo family may thus be an important contributor to specific subpopulations of the near-Earth objects. We present simulations of the orbital evolution of Euphrosyne family members from the time of breakup to the present day, focusing on those m...
