The white light coronagraphs onboard SOHO (LASCO-C2 and -C3) and most recently STEREO (SECCHI -COR1 and -COR2) have detected a myriad of coronal mass ejections (CME). They are a key component of space weather and under certain conditions they can become geo-effective, hence the importance of their kinematic characterization to help predict their effects. However, there is still a lot of debate on how to define the event boundaries for space weather purposes, which in turn makes it difficult to agree on their kinematic properties. That lack of agreement is reflected in both the manual and automated CME catalogs in existence. To contribute to a more objective definition and characterization of white-light coronagraph events, Goussies et al. (2010) introduced recently the concept of “texture of the event”. Based on that property, they developed a supervised segmentation algorithm to allow the automatic tracking of dynamic events observed in the coronagraphs field of view, which is called CORonal SEgmentation Technique (CORSET). In this work, we have enhanced the capabilities of the algorithm by adding several new functionalities, namely the automatic computation of different morphological and kinematic parameters. We tested its performance on 57 well-studied limb CME events observed with the LASCO coronagraphs between 1997 and 2001, and compared the parameters obtained with those from three existent CME lists: two of them obtained from an observer-based detection and tracking method (i.e., two manual catalogs), and the other one based on the automated detection and characterization of the CME events (i.e., a fully automated catalog). We found that 51 events could be tracked and quantified in agreement with the CME definition. In general terms, the position angle, and the radial and expansion speeds are in agreement with the manual catalogs used for comparison. On the other hand, some discrepancies between CORSET and the automated catalog were found, which can be explained by the different delimitation of the CME angular extent. 相似文献

The slow solar wind (< 400 km s-1) appears to initiate from the regions in the corona where magnetic fields are closed, or from the interface between streamers
and other coronal regions. The nature of the acceleration of slow solar wind is not yet well known. LASCO observations of
gradually evolving mass ejections offer us a good opportunity to study the speed and acceleration profiles of the slow solar
wind from a distance of 1.1 up to 30 R⊙. We present speed and acceleration profiles of slow solar wind, derived on the basis of measurements of mass flows in several
cases of gradual mass ejections and present them in perspective of earlier work.

The Atacama Desert has long been considered a good Mars analogue for testing instrumentation for planetary exploration, but very few data (if any) have been reported about the geomicrobiology of its salt-rich subsurface. We performed a Mars analogue drilling campaign next to the Salar Grande (Atacama, Chile) in July 2009, and several cores and powder samples from up to 5?m deep were analyzed in situ with LDChip300 (a Life Detector Chip containing 300 antibodies). Here, we show the discovery of a hypersaline subsurface microbial habitat associated with halite-, nitrate-, and perchlorate-containing salts at 2?m deep. LDChip300 detected bacteria, archaea, and other biological material (DNA, exopolysaccharides, some peptides) from the analysis of less than 0.5?g of ground core sample. The results were supported by oligonucleotide microarray hybridization in the field and finally confirmed by molecular phylogenetic analysis and direct visualization of microbial cells bound to halite crystals in the laboratory. Geochemical analyses revealed a habitat with abundant hygroscopic salts like halite (up to 260?g kg(-1)) and perchlorate (41.13?μg g(-1) maximum), which allow deliquescence events at low relative humidity. Thin liquid water films would permit microbes to proliferate by using detected organic acids like acetate (19.14?μg g(-1)) or formate (76.06?μg g(-1)) as electron donors, and sulfate (15875?μg g(-1)), nitrate (13490?μg g(-1)), or perchlorate as acceptors. Our results correlate with the discovery of similar hygroscopic salts and possible deliquescence processes on Mars, and open new search strategies for subsurface martian biota. The performance demonstrated by our LDChip300 validates this technology for planetary exploration, particularly for the search for life on Mars. 相似文献

Comets are thought to preserve the most pristine material currently present in the solar system, as they are formed by agglomeration
of dust particles in the solar nebula, far from the Sun, and their interiors have remained cold. By approaching the Sun, volatile
components and dust particles are released forming the cometary coma. During the phase of Heavy Bombardment, 3.8--4 billion
years ago, cometary matter was delivered to the Early Earth. Precise knowledge on the physico-chemical composition of comets
is crucial to understand the formation of the Solar System, the evolution of Earth and particularly the starting conditions
for the origin of life on Earth. Here, we report on the COSAC instrument, part of the ESA cometary mission Rosetta, which
is designed to characterize, identify, and quantify volatile cometary compounds, including larger organic molecules, by in
situ measurements of surface and subsurface cometary samples. The technical concept of a multi-column enantio-selective gas
chromatograph (GC) coupled to a linear reflectron time-of-flight mass-spectrometer instrument is presented together with its
realisation under the scientific guidance of the Max-Planck-Institute for Solar System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany.
The instrument's technical data are given; first measurements making use of standard samples are presented. The cometary science
community is looking forward to receive fascinating data from COSAC cometary in situ measurements in 2014. 相似文献
