We present the 2-D, two fluid (ions + neutrals) numerical simulations that we are carrying out in order to study the ambipolar filamentation process, in which a magnetized, partially ionized plasma is stirred by turbulence in the ambipolar frequency range. The higher turbulent velocity of the neutrals in the most ionized regions gives rise to a non

Analytical results and tradeoffs are reported for an aerosol lidar system that is intended to serve as a referee during testing of standoff bio-aerosol detection systems. The lidar system is still under development by Dugway Proving Grounds -- results from the operational system are not included in this paper. The recommended configuration of the

We recently identified a substantial population of galaxies at z>2 with comparatively red rest-frame optical colors. These distant red galaxies (DRGs) are efficiently selected by the simple observed color criterion Js-Ks>2.3. In this paper we present near-infrared spectroscopy with Keck NIRSPEC of six DRGs with previously measured redshifts 2.4

We present an analysis of high resolution Chandra spectra of the contact binaries 44i Boo and VW Cep in order to examine the chemical composition of their coronae. The emerging pattern of coronal abundances in different stars is of a general trend in which low activity stars exhibit a solar-like FIP effect that is seen to gradually reverse itself

We present results from a Chandra observation of Ross 154, a nearby (2.93 pc) flaring M dwarf (M4.5Ve). During the 57-ksec ACIS-S exposure, a very large flare occurred in which the counting rate increased by over a factor of 100, with an even larger increase in total X-ray power. For the earlier part of the lightcurve, we analyze photon arrival
