Athabasca University Initiatives Supporting THEMIS
(2007-02-20)Since the installation of a UCLA ‘small’ magnetometer in 1998, Athabasca University has made great strides in installing infrastructure in Canada for space science, culminating with the recent expansion of Athabasca ... -
Simultaneous ground and satellite observations of an isolated proton arc at subauroral latitudes
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 2007)We observed an isolated proton arc at the Athabasca station MLAT: 62◦N) in Canada on 5 September, 2005, using a ground-based allsky imager at wavelengths of 557.7 nm, 630.0 nm, and 486.1 nm (Hβ). This arc is similar to ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Physical Parameters of Substorms from Automated Forward Modeling
(2006-07-08)AFM technique applied to give average parameters of substorms and relation to AL index, Weimer parametrization, optical data -
A Survey of Orbits of Co-orbitals of Jupiter
(2006-06-29)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 ... -

(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. -
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. -
Data Preparation
(1998)Aspects of space physics data available and how to prepare it for treatment in analysis. -
Physical Processes
(1998)Physical processes in near-Earth space with attention to ground and satellite magnetic fields. -
A Survey of Orbits of Co-Orbitals of Jupiter (Poster)
(2006-05-25)Co- 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 was discovered ...
