Simulating Titan’s Upper Atmosphere and Its Photochemistry in the Vacuum
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has a dense atmosphere whose upper layers are mainly composed of methane (CH4) and molecular nitrogen (N2). The Cassini mission revealed that the interaction between those molecules and the solar VUV radiation, as well as the electrons from Saturn’s magnetosphere, leads to a complex chemistry above an altitude of 800km [1]; [2]; [3]; [4]. Cassini instruments s...
متن کاملMethane in Kano-Nigeria atmosphere
ABSTRACT Methane concentrations in Kano municipality have been attributed to the burning of solid and fossil fuels and industrial processes. Using an automatic gas sampling system, methane in the Kano atmosphere was determined. Its distribution in the municipality was skewed towards high frequency of low concentration with a mean and standard deviation of 0.61? 0.39 ?g/m3. Similarly the distri...
متن کاملSimulating a one-dimensional plasma
A plasma is an ionized gas in which some of the electrons are free rather than bound to atoms as in an ordinary gas. The behavior of a plasma is more subtle than the behavior of an ordinary gas. In an ordinary gas the dynamics is dominated by two-body collisions, but in a plasma the particles interact via long-range forces, and this interaction causes the plasma to exhibit collective effects. I...
متن کاملthe underlying structure of language proficiency and the proficiency level
هدف از انجام این تخقیق بررسی رابطه احتمالی بین سطح مهارت زبان خارجی (foreign language proficiency) و ساختار مهارت زبان خارجی بود. تعداد 314 زبان آموز مونث و مذکر که عمدتا دانشجویان رشته های زبان انگلیسی در سطوح کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد بودند در این تحقیق شرکت کردند. از لحاظ سطح مهارت زبان خارجی شرکت کنندگان بسیار با هم متفاوت بودند، (75 نفر سطح پیشرفته، 113 نفر سطح متوسط، 126 سطح مقدماتی). کلا ...
15 صفحه اولThe Structure of the Upper Atmosphere of Saturn
Introduction: Knowledge of the structure and composition of the upper atmosphere of the giant planets is critical to a better understanding of thermospheric heat sources, radiative transport, methane photochemistry, and chemical-dynamical balance in the atmospheres of these planets, as well as being critical for planning future missions that involve deep atmospheric probes or aerobraking. Altho...
