CASCA 2006 Calgary AU Attendees
(2006-06-16)Photos showing AU attendees at CASCA 2006, held in Calgary in early June 2006. -
CASCA Main Presentation 2006
(2006-06)Presentation about stability of quasi-satellites, no movies. -
A Centenary Survey of Orbits of Co-Orbitals of Jupiter
(2006-08-10)Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids fulfill the prediction of Lagrange that orbits can be stable when a small body orbits in specific locations relative to its ‘parent’ planet and the Sun. The first such Trojan asteroid was discovered ... -
Co-orbitals CASCA Talk
(2006-06)Presentation from CASCA 2006 covering general aspects of co-orbital motion with emphasis on the fact that they would be good targets for space missions. -
Cross Meridian Currents in Storms and Sawtooth Events
(2006-11-17)Automated Forward Modeling (AFM) is an inversion technique based on magnetic data alone, which can indicate physical parameters associated with electrojets and field-aligned currents. From perturbations along a meridian, ... -
Data Preparation
(1998)Aspects of space physics data available and how to prepare it for treatment in analysis. -
Electrodynamic Parameters of the Auroral Oval from Combined Spacecraft and Ground Measurements
(European Space Agency, 2006)Spacecraft traversing the auroral oval respond primarily to the field-aligned currents at its poleward and equatorward borders that are part of a solenoidal current system. If electric and magnetic field measurements are ... -
An Evening Sector Ps 6 - Omega Band Event
(2008-01-29)Abstract. Ps 6 magnetic disturbances and associated optical forms known as omega bands are usually associated with the morning sector. Some evidence for similar phenomenology in the evening sector has been presented ... -
Inner solar system dynamical analogs for plutinos
(2006-08-18)By studying orbits of near-Earth asteroids potentially in 2:3 mean motion resonance with Earth, Venus, and Mars, we have found plutino analogs. We identify 23 objects in the inner solar system dynamically protected from ... -
Inner solar system dynamical analogs of plutinos
(2007-11-20)By studying orbits of asteroids potentially in 3:2 exterior mean motion resonance with Earth, Venus, and Mars, we have found plutino analogs. We identify at least 27 objects in the inner solar system dynamically protected ... -
Interpretation of Automated Forward Modeling Parameters for Sawtooth Events and Substorms
(International Conference on Substorms 8, 2006)Automated Forward Modeling (AFM) is an inversion technique based on magnetic data alone, which can indicate physical parameters associated with electrojets. From perturbations along a meridian, the total electric current ... -
May 25, 2007 Meteor
(Please contact Martin Connors for more information: martinc@athabascau.ca, 2007-05-31)The file shows a view of the whole sky on Friday May 25 at 1:07:20 am with data from 1:07:24 superposed. This shows the meteor track in the southern sky, inside the box near the bottom along with the start point just ... -
Noctilucent Cloud Videos, Jun 23 2006
(2006-07-23)Videos of noctilucent clouds (NLC) seen from Athabasca University Geophysical Observatory on June 23 2006. NLC are mesospheric clouds which are very high and lit up by the sun despite it being well below the horizon at the ... -
A One-meter Robotic Telescope for Western Canada
(2008-10-11)1-m class telescopes are arguably the workhorses of modern astronomy and represent an excellent return of science for a relatively modest capital investment. Such instruments can be used in large-field survey work, ... -
An Online Mechanics Experiment
(2006-09-30)Physics distance education has grown rapidly in recent years. The theory part of a physics course taught in this way has much common ground with other courses. However, lab instruction is an important part of introductory ... -
Onsets and Flapping Studied Using a Dynamic Harris Sheet Model
(2007-10-31)We have developed a nonlinear fitting routine for the Harris current sheet based on magnetic data, and applied it to 71 plasma sheet crossings by Cluster. In most cases this simple fit appeared to represent the magnetic ... -
Optimization of Models
(University of Alberta, 1998)The parameters of model auroral current systems were described in the previous chapter. To model the currents at any given time, these parameters must be adjusted to provide an optimal match to the available observations. ...
