    Notes: [Auszug] The spectra of the nucleonic component of cosmic radiation in the energy band 1-60 MeV per nucléon have produced a number of surprises. The most dramatic of these concerned the fluxes of oxygen and carbon. Jokipii1 gave minimum flux values in the region 5 MeV per nucléon for hydrogen ...

    Notes: [Auszug] During a balloon flight of a telescope on August 22, 1968, the X-ray spectrum from the Crab Nebula was measured in the energy interval 30 keV-120 keV, and the detector pulses were recorded on magnetic tape together with 1 kHz clock pulses from a crystal-controlled oscillator. The frequency of the ...

    Notes: Abstract In this article we investigate the short-term characteristics of the sodium layer and their implications for laser guide star systems. We report measurements of sodium density andcentroid-height variations on timescales of 100 ms upwards. Significant centroid-height variations on short timescales may necessitate frequent refocussing of the beam and wavefront sensor system.We present results from observations of the mesospheric sodium layer taken at the Max Planck observatory in Calar Alto, Spain in September 1997 and August 1998. We describe our experiment which uses the resonant optical backscatter of 589.2 nm laser light from the upper atmosphere as a measure of sodium abundance.Short-term variations are dominated by the formation of dense sporadic layers in the normal sodium layer. Measurements were made on 3 nights in 1997 and on 2 nights in 1998. Somewhat unexpectedly for a mid-latitude site, sporadic sodium layers were seen on 4 of these 5 nights. One of the sporadic layers was observed for its duration. The 2 km wide layer reached a maximum intensity of approximately two and a half times that of the background layer and could be distinguished from the background for over five hours. Centroid height variations of up to 400 m were observed on timescales of 1–2 min. In 1998 we were sensitive to variations of 5% or more in total sodium abundance on timescales of 100 ms upwards. We found no evidencefor variations of this level on these short timescales.
