Abstract:
Geoffrey (Geoff) Burbidge's career spanned the tumultuous years when astronomy was transformed from a purely optical science to a multi-wavelength discipline through the development of new types of astronomy—radio, X-ray, γ -ray, cosmic ray physics. These offered new astrophysical and cosmological challenges, which he grasped with relish. To all of these disciplines, Geoff, often in collaboration with his wife Margaret Burbidge (FRS 1964), made pioneering contributions, particularly in the areas of the synthesis of the chemical elements, the physics of extragalactic radio sources, the rotation curves of galaxies, the dark matter problem in clusters of galaxies, the physics of accretion discs and the origin of cosmic rays. He also espoused less popular causes such as the non-cosmological nature of the redshifts of quasars and was sceptical about the standard Big Bang picture of the origin of the large-scale structure and dynamics of the Universe. He was a flamboyant and outspoken astrophysicist who challenged his colleagues about their deeply held views on all aspects of astrophysics and cosmology. His service to the community included five years as director of the US Kitt Peak National Observatory, based in Tucson, Arizona, and as a most effective editor of Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics for over 30 years and the Astrophysical Journal.

Abstract:
AbstractNuclear astrophysics is a relatively young science; it is about half a century old. It is a multidisciplinary subject, since it combines nuclear physics with astrophysics and observations in astronomy. It also addresses fundamental issues in astrobiology through the formation of elements, in particular those required for a carbon-based life. In this paper, a rapid overview of nucleosynthesis is given, mainly from the point of view of nuclear physics. A short historical introduction is followed by the definition of the relevant nuclear parameters, such as nuclear reaction cross sections, astrophysical S-factors, the energy range defined by the Gamow peak and reaction rates. The different astrophysical scenarios that are the sites of nucleosynthesis, and different processes, cycles and chains that are responsible for the building of complex nuclei from the elementary hydrogen nuclei are then briefly described.

Abstract:
New observational data and modeling of physical processes constantly appear in the young and rapidly developing branch of science of plasma astrophysics. However, there is a lack of theoretical studies in the field of plasma astrophysics, that could unite the physics of various objects in the Universe, explain the observed phenomena and contribute to the improvement of numerical modeling schemes efficiency. This article makes up for this shortcoming by introducing different models, taking into account the various properties of plasma objects. We present a review of the latest magnetohydrodynamic theories of wave processes in rotating astrophysical plasma, taking into account important and common properties of astrophysical objects as compressibility and stratification.

Abstract The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for weakly interacting massive particles, while featuring extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matter candidates. These detectors can also study neutrinos through neutrinoless double-beta decay and through a variety of astrophysical sources. A next-generation xenon-based detector will therefore be a true multi-purpose observatory to significantly advance particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, solar physics, and cosmology. This review article presents the science cases for such a detector.

Full text
Abstract:
<p>Advances in technology and instrumentation open new windows for observing astrophysical objects. The first half of my dissertation involves the development of atomic layer deposition (ALD) coatings to create high reflectivity UV mirrors for future satellite astronomical telescopes. Aluminum (Al) has intrinsic reflectance greater than 80% from 90 ? 2,000 nm, but develops a native aluminum oxide (Al2O3) layer upon exposure to air that readily absorbs light below 250 nm. Thus, Al based UV mirrors must be protected by a transmissive overcoat. Traditionally, metal-fluoride overcoats such as MgF2 and LiF are used to mitigate oxidation but with caveats. We utilize a new metal fluoride (AlF3) to protect Al mirrors deposited by ALD. ALD allows for precise thickness control, conformal and near stoichiometric thin films. We prove that depositing ultra-thin (~3 nm) ALD ALF3 to protect Al mirrors after removing the native oxide layer via atomic layer etching (ALE) enhances the reflectance near 90 nm from ~5% to ~30%. X-ray detector technology with high readout rates are necessary for the relatively bright Sun, particularly during large flares. The hot plasma in the solar corona generates X-rays, which yield information on the physical conditions of the plasma. The second half of my dissertation includes detector testing, characterization and solar science with the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSats. The MinXSS CubeSats employ Silicon Drift Diode (SDD) detectors called X123, which generate full sun spectrally resolved (~0.15 FWHM at 5.9 keV) measurements of the sparsely measured, 0.5 ? 12 keV range. The absolute radiometric calibration of the MinXSS instrument suite was performed at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF) and spectral resolution determined from radioactive sources. I used MinXSS along with data from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES), Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), Hinode X-ray Telescope (XRT), Hinode Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) to study the solar corona. This resulted in new insights on the coronal temperature distribution and elemental abundance variations for quiescence, active regions and during solar flares.

Abstract:
The Voyager 1 Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) observations are the only direct measurements we have of Titan's upper atmosphere. Previous analysis of the two UVS solar occultations yielded densities for N₂ CH₄ and C₂ as well as the thermospheric temperature. These results serve as the upper atmospheric boundary conditions in models of Titan's atmosphere; however, there are discrepancies between the observations and models, and the previous analysis itself is known to be internally inconsistent. We have undertaken a reanalysis of the UVS solar occultations to resolve these differences and to extract the maximum amount of information from the data. In so doing, we have developed a detailed model of the UVS detector and a new analysis method tailored to retrieving multiple species from an occultation of a finite-sized source such as the sun. Our analysis has yielded density profiles for nine species in Titan's upper atmosphere and a new measurement of the thermospheric temperature. We find higher N₂ densities and lower CH₄ and C₂ densities than those previously determined. We also find a thermospheric temperature of 150-155 K instead of 176-196 K as in the early analysis. Densities for C₂H₄, C₂H₆, C₄H₂, C₂N₂, HCN, and HC₃N are retrieved for the first time. Titan's atmosphere is one of the most interesting in the solar system. The composition and high degree of photochemical activity elicit comparisons to the early terrestrial atmosphere and considerations about the origins of life. Our results provide improved and expanded constraints for the atmospheric models and should provide scientists with a better view of Titan's upper atmosphere, which is important in planning for the upcoming Cassini mission.

Full text
Abstract:
The properties of aerosol dust on Mars may be deduced from photometric observations of its atmosphere. By comparing sky images taken by the Imager for Mars Pathfinder to numerical models, the size distribution and reflective properties of the dust particles can be determined. The format, quality, and reduction of the IMP images is described herein, as is the computational radiative transfer model used, with its various parameters. After discovering and compensating for an imprecision in the pointing of the camera, models were successfully fit to the IMP solar aureole datasets. Key results include determining the particle size (reff = 1.6 ± 0.15 μm); quadratic parameters G and Θmin describing the phase function for internally scattered light as functions of wavelength; and the imaginary refractive index n i (and single scattering albedo o) of the aerosols as a function of wavelength (presented in Table 4.1). Preliminary indications of temporal variation in ni turn out to be due to an unplanned change in the time of day of the measurements, coupled with a limitation in the algorithm for correcting the aforementioned pointing imprecision. Excluding unreliable datasets leads to a set of particle properties which shows no significant variation over the first two months of the Pathfinder mission. A multispectral sky patch from MPF Sol 22 gives greater wavelength resolution, as well as showing the sensitivity of the results to variations in key model parameters. In addition, images from the Hubble Space Telescope are used to refine the surface reflectance used in the model. The final result is a model for the aerosol dust which is consistent with the IMP solar aureole observations and the HST observations. Evidence for a minor component of water ice is also discussed. Dust reflectances derived for comparison with ground spectra show a feature in the near infrared which is not present in most MPF spectra of bright surface regolith. This is an indication that there are components visible in the bright soil which are not present in the airborne dust.

Full text
Abstract:
In order to increase sky coverage, adaptive optics (AO) systems for large telescopes will require laser systems to provide artificial reference beacons. The most prominent method for creating an artificial beacon is to project laser light tuned to the 589nm, D2 line of sodium onto the mesospheric sodium atoms at an altitude of 90km. When correcting with AO, the best wavefront measurements are obtained when the image of the sodium beacon is as bright and sharp as possible. Blurring occurs due to spot elongation, as a result of sub-aperture displacement from the projector axis, and from diffraction and seeing effects on the projected beam. Mounting the projector in the center of the telescope minimizes the effect of elongation. Simulations were conducted that show that matching the beam waist to ∼2 times the atmospheric turbulence parameter r₀ minimizes the beacon size. For r₀ = 15cm and a 48cm projector, calculations show the optimum projected waist is 29cm. A prototype projector has been built and operated. Recent experiments have shown that this projector is capable of producing 0.75arcsec beacons under good seeing. In addition, spot elongation of 0.5arcsec was observed corresponding to a sodium layer thickness of 10km. The first experimental evidence for optical pumping in the mesospheric layer were obtained. They show a non-thermal profile for the sodium hyperfine structure (3.5:1 line ratio as opposed to 5:3) when projecting circularly polarized light. This profile indicates that the maximum return per watt is obtained by pumping the F = 2 level with a narrow bandwidth compared with pumping both F = 2 and F = 1 with a broad bandwidth. In addition, evidence shows a 30% increase in beacon brightness when pumping the sodium layer with circularly polarized light over linear. A projector for the 6.5m MMT conversion has been designed based on experience gained with the prototype. Analysis of the Strehl reduction due to wavefront reconstruction error shows a reduction in Strehl of < 1% for the optimal operating parameters at the MMT. This less than the fundamental limit of 0.79 for focus anisoplanatism.

Abstract:
Powerful lasers are needed to generate artificial guide stars for astronomical adaptive optics. Continuous wave (CW) lasers yield the most efficient excitation of the D2 line in the mesopheric sodium layer. Data is presented from early systems which used commercially available CW dye lasers. Building on these results, a dye laser was designed and constructed which incorporates a sodium Faraday filter (SFF) to select and lock the laser frequency to the peak of the D2 sodium resonance. This laser was the first ring dye laser made using an intra-cavity SFF, and also the first incorporating a SFF to produce a significant amount of power in a single longitudinal mode. A major part of this thesis concerns the design and construction of the SFF. The theory of operation is developed and then used to design a SFF with a high throughput at the D2 line of sodium. The two main elements of a SFF are a sodium cell and a magnet. The design and construction of these two elements is discussed in detail. The design and construction of a wavefront sensor for the Multiple Mirror Telescope's unique geometry is presented. This wavefront sensor and a CW dye laser were used to generate the first astronomical images sharpened by an adaptive optics system incorporating a sodium laser guide star.

Full text
Abstract:
This work is divided into two parts: a grey model for past Triton, Pluto, and Kuiper belt objects, and a nongrey model for current Titan's troposphere. Steady-state, planar models of early atmospheres for Triton, Pluto, and Kuiper belt objects are computed using a grey approach that tracks the transfer/distribution of heat via radiative transport. These objects are treated here together because they resemble one another in size, surface chemical composition, and exist in the same cold portion of the outer solar system. Beginning with present-day volatiles observed on the surfaces of Triton and Pluto (methane and molecular nitrogen), a trace of molecular hydrogen (present in most primordial atmospheres) is added. It is assumed that as the object is heated by solar, tidal, accretional, or radiogenic methods (this varies between the objects treated here) these chemical species then evaporate from the surface to create an atmosphere. Binary collisions among the molecules account for the sources of opacity, and absorption coefficients are provided by [21]. The grey atmosphere calculations require a mean opacity, and its results are sensitive to the type of mean opacity used. Thus a variety of methods (Planck, Rosseland, and Chandrasekhar mean opacities) are used to accommodate this dependence and the variations in optical depth. Surface temperatures are then calculated as a function of the heating rate, molecular hydrogen abundance, and mean opacity type. As a result of these modelling experiments, tidal heating is found to be crucial to the formation of a thick atmosphere on Triton, and albedo and gravitational acceleration strongly affect the formation of atmospheres on less massive objects such as Pluto and Kuiper belt objects. A nongrey, steady-state, planar model of Titan's current troposphere is developed to study the effect of varying methane mass fraction. Methods from stellar atmosphere modelling are used to solve the equation of transfer as a two-point boundary problem. To additionally satisfy radiative, hydrostatic, and local thermodynamic equilibrium, an iterative correction procedure is utilized since the correct temperature and density profiles as a function of altitude are not known a priori. The volatile composition is taken from observation: molecular nitrogen, methane, and molecular hydrogen. Again, binary collisions among the molecules account for the sources of opacity, and absorption coefficients are provided by [21]. The heating source for Titan is solar radiation absorbed and reradiated by the planet's surface in the infrared region of the spectrum, with a small amount of heat emanating from the stratosphere. The chemical species evaporate from the surface to create an atmosphere. Models of Titan's troposphere are calculated using different amounts of methane (within observational constraints) since the presence of methane is evolving in Titan's atmosphere due to photolytic processes. From model results it is shown that by solving the radiative transfer equation, subject to radiative, hydrostatic, and local thermodynamic equilibrium constraints, a model of Titan's troposphere with a maximum deviation of 8% from data [85] [170] can be obtained. The preliminary model of past Titan's troposphere is consistent with other analytic results [89].

Full text
Abstract:
Lightning, a familiar phenomenon on Earth, may also occur at other times and locations in our solar system. It has been suggested as a mechanism for forming chondrules, millimeter-sized beads of glassy silicate found in primitive meteorites formed in the early solar system 4.5 billion years ago. It has also been detected in Voyager images of Jupiter, and there is evidence that it may occur on other planets as well, including Venus, Saturn and Neptune. The mechanism believed to produce lightning discharges on Earth, and possibly other planets, is charge production by collisions of ice particles, followed by gravitational separation of oppositely-charged large and small particles. This work examines the possibility of the occurrence of lightning discharges in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Neptune as well as in the protoplanetary nebula (PPN) of the early solar system by modeling charge separation and growth of the electric field. The model is also applied to the Earth as a test of its predictive power. It is found that the model can reproduce the correct timescale, particle charge and electric field magnitude seen in terrestrial lightning. The model also predicts lightning on Jupiter at the 3-5 bar level provided that the local water abundance is greater than the solar value. This is a much higher abundance than measured by the Galileo probe into Jupiter's atmosphere, which suggests that the water content measured by the probe does not apply to the entire planet. An application of the model to Neptune's water and NH₄SH clouds finds that lightning is unlikely in these clouds due to the large electric field required for electrical breakdown. Lightning may be possible in the overlying H₂S-NH₃ cloud provided that these substances can undergo collisional charge exchange with a magnitude at least 1% of that found in water ice. In the protoplanetary nebula, it appears that large-scale precipitation-induced lightning could not have occurred, due to the small mass density, low temperature and high electrical conductivity of the surroundings. This is a robust conclusion that does not depend sensitively on the values of the parameters involved.
