Description

THIS PROPOSAL SEEKS FIVE YEARS OF CONTINUING FUNDING FOR THE MIT COMPONENT OF THE MULTINATIONAL, GLOBAL ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT PROGRAM ENTITLED ADVANCED GLOBAL ATMOSPHERIC GASES EXPERIMENT (AGAGE). SEPARATE PROPOSALS FROM UCSD-SIO SEEK FUNDING FOR THE SIO COMPONENT. THE CASE FOR REAL-TIME, HIGH-FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT NETWORKS IS VERY STRONG AND THE OBSERVATIONS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION ARE RECOGNIZED WIDELY FOR THEIR IMPORTANCE TO OZONE DEPLETION AND CLIMATE CHANGE STUDIES AND TO VERIFICATION ISSUES ARISING FROM THE MONTREAL (OZONE) AND KYOTO AND SUCCESSOR (CLIMATE) PROTOCOLS. AGAGE IS DISTINGUISHED BY ITS CAPABILITY TO MEASURE GLOBALLY, AT HIGH FREQUENCY, ALL THE IMPORTANT SPECIES IN THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL AND ALL THE IMPORTANT NON-CO2 GASES IN THE KYOTO PROTOCOL. THE SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES OF AGAGE ARE IMPORTANT IN FURTHERING UNDERSTANDING OF GLOBAL CHEMICAL AND CLIMATIC PHENOMENA. THEY ARE: 1) DETERMINE OPTIMALLY FROM OBSERVATIONS THE GLOBAL RATES OF EMISSION AND/OR DESTRUCTION (I.E., LIFETIME) OF ANTHROPOGENIC CHLOROCARBONS, CHLOROFLUOROCARBONS (CFCS), BROMOCARBONS, HYDROCHLOROFLUOROCARBONS (HCFCS), HYDROFLUOROCARBONS (HFCS) AND PERFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS (PFCS, NF3 AND SF6) THAT CONTRIBUTE MOST OF THE REACTIVE HALOGEN TO THE STRATOSPHERE AND/OR ARE STRONG INFRARED ABSORBERS. (2) DOCUMENT ACCURATELY THE GLOBAL DISTRIBUTIONS AND TEMPORAL BEHAVIORS OF BIOGENIC/ANTHROPOGENIC GASES IMPORTANT IN CLIMATE CHANGE AND/OR OZONE DEPLETION: METHANE, NITROUS OXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE, HYDROGEN, METHYL CHLORIDE AND METHYL BROMIDE. (3) IDENTIFY GREENHOUSE AND OZONE-DEPLETING GASES (E.G., SO2F2, NF3, C4F10, C5F12, C6F14, C7F16 AND C8F18 HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED), INITIATE REAL-TIME MONITORING OF THESE GASES, AND RECONSTRUCT THEIR PAST HISTORIES FROM AGAGE AND AIR-ARCHIVE MEASUREMENTS. (4) DETERMINE OPTIMALLY THE AVERAGE CONCENTRATIONS AND TRENDS OF TROPOSPHERIC HYDROXYL RADICALS FROM THE RATES OF DESTRUCTION OF ATMOSPHERIC METHYL CHLOROFORM, HFCS AND HCFCS, AND ESTIMATES OF THEIR EMISSIONS. (5) DETERMINE OPTIMALLY, FROM ATMOSPHERIC OBSERVATIONS AND ESTIMATES OF THEIR DESTRUCTION RATES, THE MAGNITUDES AND DISTRIBUTIONS BY REGION OF SURFACE SOURCES/SINKS OF THESE GASES. (6) PROVIDE ACCURATE DATA ON THE GLOBAL ACCUMULATION OF THESE TRACE GASES, WHICH ARE USED TO TEST THE SYNOPTIC/REGIONAL/GLOBAL-SCALE CIRCULATIONS PREDICTED BY THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS. (7) PROVIDE GLOBAL AND REGIONAL MEASUREMENTS OF METHANE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND HYDROGEN, AND ESTIMATES OF HYDROXYL LEVELS, TO TEST PRIMARY ATMOSPHERIC OXIDATION PATHWAYS AT MIDLATITUDES AND THE TROPICS.

Description

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED WORK IS TO CREATE AN INTEGRATED MODELING FRAMEWORK TO SIMULATE THE OPERATION OF ELECTROSPRAY THRUSTER ARRAYS UNDER FLIGHT-LIKE CONDITIONS. THIS MODEL WILL CAPTURE THRUSTER PLUME PROPERTIES AND PROCESSES IN THE LOCAL VOLUME OF THESE THRUSTERS, DEFINED HERE AS BOTH THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE ARRAYS AND THE FAR-FIELD REGIONS WHERE INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER ION BEAMS AND SPACECRAFT SURFACES OCCUR. THE MODEL WILL BE ABLE TO TRACK LONG TIME-SCALE PROCESSES THAT AFFECT THRUSTER PERFORMANCE SUCH AS MATERIALS EROSION AND SECONDARY EMISSION. ADDITIONALLY, MODELS MUST ACCOUNT FOR AND TRACK THE EFFECTS OF FLIGHT CONDITIONS ON THRUSTER PERFORMANCE, SUCH AS THERMAL TRANSIENTS AND SPACECRAFT CHARGING. THE PROPOSED SIMULATION FRAMEWORK WILL BE COMPRISED OF INTEGRATED SUB-MODELS THAT CAPTURE PROCESSES AT VARIOUS SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL SCALES. THE THRUSTER ITSELF HAS THREE KEY REGIONS OF INTEREST AND VARYING SCALES: THE INDIVIDUAL EMITTER (SUB-MICRON TO 1 MILLIMETER), EMITTER ARRAYS (SUB-MILLIMETER TO 1 CENTIMETER), AND THE PLUME (1 CENTIMETER TO SEVERAL METERS). A SUBMODULE THAT GIVES TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT EMISSION PROPERTIES (CURRENT VS. VOLTAGE AND SPECIES) WILL BE DEVELOPED AND INFORMED BY MULTIPHYSICS MODELING OF FLUID MENISCI. PARTICLE-IN-CELL TECHNIQUES WILL BE USED TO MODEL THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ION TRAJECTORIES FROM THE EXTRACTION REGION TO THE NEAR-FIELD PLUME (SMALL SPATIAL SCALES) AND IN THE FAR-FIELD REGION WHERE BEAMS OF OPPOSITE POLARITY IONS OVERLAP. MEMS ELECTROSPRAY THRUSTERS ARE SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THE NASA IN-SPACE PROPULSION ROADMAP (ELEMENT 2.2.1.5), AND ARE IDENTIFIED AS A TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BOTH REDUCE SYSTEM COST AND ENABLE SMALL SPACECRAFT MISSIONS TO NEW SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION TARGETS.

NOVEL ROTATING SYNTHETIC APERTURE TELESCOPE DESIGNS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED FOR SPACE TO MAXIMIZE TELESCOPE RESOLUTION AND COLLECTING AREA GIVEN THE AVAILABLE VOLUME ON LAUNCH VEHICLES. THESE LARGE APERTURE DIAMETER, LOW MASS SYSTEMS HAVE APPLICATIONS IN EXOPLANET DETECTION AS WELL AS PLANET SURVEYING AND HAVE BEEN PROPOSED AS A WAY TO MAXIMIZE THE APERTURE OF MISSIONS FROM CUBESATS TO FUTURE GREAT OBSERVATORIES. A DEPLOYABLE STRIP-LIKE TELESCOPE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE THE LIGHT GATHERING POWER AND RESOLUTION OF A 3U CUBESAT TO HUNDREDS OF SQUARE CENTIMETERS, INCREASING THE SENSITIVITY TO EVENTS SUCH AS EXOPLANET TRANSITS, ASTROSEISMOLOGY, AND ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI. ADDITIONALLY, A DEPLOYABLE TELESCOPE ALLOWS RESOLUTIONS EXCEEDING GROUND-BASED OBSERVATORIES AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF COMPARABLE GROUND SYSTEMS.

Description

WE PROPOSE TO ADVANCE A CONCEPT FOR A SOFT X-RAY POLARIMETER THAT FOLLOWS FROM OUR DESIGN OF A SOUNDING ROCKET INSTRUMENT, THE ROCKET EXPERIMENT DEMONSTRATION OF A SOFT X-RAY POLARIMETER (THE REDSOX POLARIMETER1, [1, 2] AKA REDSOX). THE PROPOSED MISSION STUDY WILL ASSESS THE OVERALL COST ESTIMATE OF THE GLOBE ORBITING SOFT X-RAY POLARIMETER (GOSOX), AN ORBITAL VERSION OF REDSOX THAT WILL OPERATE IN THE 0.2-0.8 KEV BAND. THESE GOALS ARE TO 1) TEST MODELS OF VACUUM BIREFRINGENCE AND PROTON CYCLOTRON LINES IN AT LEAST 4 NEUTRON STARS, 2) TEST INVERSE COMPTON AND SYNCHROTRON EMISSION MODELS OF BLAZAR SPECTRA IN AT LEAST 4 SOURCES, 3) PROVIDE A BROADER VIEW OF POLARIZED EMISSION ACROSS THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM VIA COMPLEMENTARY MEASUREMENTS IN THE BY THE IMAGING X-RAY POLARIZATION EXPLORER (IXPE, 2-8 KEV), OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS, OR RADIO TELESCOPES, AND 4) ASSESS THE PREVALENCE OF POLARIZED EMISSION IN SYSTEMS WHERE SOFT X-RAY POLARIZATION MAY NOT BE EXPECTED. THE SCIENCE INSTRUMENT LEVERAGES PREVIOUS FUNDING FROM EIGHT PROJECTS AND APRA AND SAT GRANTS TO MAKE FOCUSING OPTICS, MULTILAYERS, GRATINGS, AND CCDS. TOGETHER, THESE HIGH TRL TECHNOLOGIES ENABLE US TO BUILD GOSOX. THE SCIENCE PAYLOAD CONSISTS OF WOLTER TYPE I X-RAY OPTICS AND CRITICAL ANGLE TRANSMISSION (CAT) GRATINGS ON AN OPTICAL BENCH AND A FOCAL PLANE WITH TWO OR FOUR X-RAY DETECTORS AND ONE OR THREE MULTI-LAYER MIRRORS. THE INSTRUMENT SENSES POLARIZATION BY MATCHING THE DISPERSION OF THE GRATINGS TO THE LATERAL GRADING OF A MULTILAYER (ML) COATED MIRROR SET AT ABOUT 45? TO THE INCOMING LIGHT AND VIEWED BY A CCD. BY ORIENTING THREE ML COATED MIRRORS AT POSITION ANGLES 120? APART OR ROTATING THE INSTRUMENT BY 180? ABOUT THE OPTICAL AXIS, WE CAN MEASURE THE THREE STOKES PARAMETERS I, Q, AND U. THESE THREE PARAMETERS ARE USED TO DETERMINE THE FRACTION OF LINEARLY POLARIZED LIGHT, P (Q2 + U2)12I, AND THE POLARIZATION PHASE ANGLE ? ? ARCTAN UQ. BASED ON OUR GOALS AND OUR INSTRUMENT DESIGN, WE HAVE SELECTED A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF SOURCES TO OBSERVE AND GOALS FOR MINIMUM DETECTABLE POLARIZATIONS (MDPS). CONSEQUENTLY, REQUIREMENTS ON THE MISSION CONCEPT INCLUDE ALLOWING THE INSTRUMENT TO BE REORIENTED 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK, SURVIVING FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR, AND HAVING SOME EXIBILITY IN SCHEDULING TO ALLOW FOR JOINT OBSERVATIONS WITH IXPE OR OTHER OBSERVATORIES. WE WISH TO EVALUATE TWO POTENTIAL CONFIGURATIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT. THE FIRST IS MOST SIMILAR TO REDSOX, WHICH HAS UNDERGONE SIGNIFICANT DESIGN WORK BUT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR LONG ORBITAL OPERATIONS. IN THIS CONFIGURATION, THE BASELINE OBJECTIVES CAN BE SATISFIED IN ONE YEAR. THE SECOND IS A MORE COMPACT DESIGN, WITH LESS EFFECTIVE AREA AND INSTRUMENTATION BUT IS CAPABLE OF CARRYING OUT THE BASELINE MISSION IN TWO YEARS. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN TECHNICAL READINESS OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE TWO CONFIGURATIONS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN DIFFERENT SCHEDULE AND COST MARGIN. THE FIRST CONFIGURATION IS MORE MASSIVE, WITH IMPLICATIONS REGARDING ATTITUDE CONTROL, WHILE THE SECOND CONFIGURATION REQUIRES LARGE ATTITUDE ROLL VARIATION. THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE WHICH OF THESE CONFIGURATIONS WILL SATISFY MASS, POWER, COST, AND SIZE REQUIREMENTS IS TO CONDUCT A MISSION CONCEPT REVIEW THAT CAN TRADE O? BETWEEN DESIGNS.

Description

THE SEARCH FOR ANOTHER EARTH IS A COMPELLING GOAL OF MODERN ASTRONOMY. WE PROPOSE A CONSTELLATION OF SMALL SATELLITES TO SEARCH FOR EARTH-SIZE PLANETS IN EARTH-LIKE (I.E. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR OR 1 AU INSOLATION EQUIVALENT) ORBITS, TRANSITING THE BRIGHTEST SUN-LIKE STARS. BECAUSE THE BRIGHTEST SUN-LIKE STARS ARE SPREAD ALL ACROSS THE SKY, A SINGLE TELESCOPE WILL NOT DO. WITH THE PROPOSED CONSTELLATION BASED APPROACH, EACH SATELLITE WOULD MONITOR A SINGLE SUN-LIKE STAR FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, BEFORE SWITCHING TO ANOTHER STAR, WITH TARGETS ONLY LIMITED BY THE SUN, MOON, AND EARTH EXCLUSION CONSTRAINTS. DESPITE SEVERAL DIFFERENT MATURE EXOPLANET FINDING TECHNIQUES AND A NUMBER OF PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE TRANSITING EXOPLANET MISSIONS, THE PROPOSED CONSTELLATION IS UNIQUE IN ITS ABILITY TO FIND TRANSITING EARTH ANALOGS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SKY. EXOPLANET TRANSITS PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT FOLLOW-ON SPECTROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS OF EXOPLANETARY ATMOSPHERES, INCLUDING THE SEARCH FOR BIOSIGNATURE GASES. WE ENVISION THE CONSTELLATION IN THREE PHASES. PHASE I, NOW COMPLETE, IS THE TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION FOR PRECISION POINTING AND THERMAL CONTROL VIA THE ASTERIA TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION PATHFINDER. PHASE II IS WHAT WE PROPOSE FOR HERE, A SMALL CONSTELLATION OF A HALF DOZEN 12U CUBESATS TO FOCUS ON THE BRIGHTEST (VMAG&LT;6) SUN-LIKE STARS. PHASE III WOULD BE THE GROWTH OF THE CONSTELLATION WITH UP TO SEVERAL DOZEN SATELLITES TO PROBE ALL RELEVANT TARGET STARS WITH MAGNITUDES BRIGHTER THAN VMAG8. THIS CONCEPT BUILDS ON THE ASTERIA PATHFINDER, WHICH DEPLOYED FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) ON 20 NOVEMBER 2017. OVER THE PRIME MISSION, ASTERIA REACHED OR SURPASSED ITS TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATE GOALS BY ACHIEVING: LINE-OF-SIGHT POINTING STABILITY OF APPROXIMATELY 0.5 ARCSECONDS ROOT MEAN SQUARE (RMS) OVER 20-MINUTE OBSERVATIONS POINTING REPEATABILITY OF 1 MILLIARCSECOND RMS FROM ONE OBSERVATION TO THE NEXT, AND FOCAL PLANE TEMPERATURE STABILITY BETTER THAN 0.01 K OVER 20-MINUTE OBSERVATIONS. THESE CAPABILITIES ENABLE PRECISION PHOTOMETRY I.E. THE CAREFUL MEASUREMENT OF STELLAR BRIGHTNESS OVER TIME NEEDED TO DISCOVER TRANSITING EXOPLANETS. ASTERIA SUCCESSFULLY DETECTED THE TRANSIT OF KNOWN SUPER-EARTH 55 CANCRI E. EACH SATELLITE IN THE CONSTELLATION WOULD UTILIZE ASTERIA S PRECISION POINTING AND THERMAL CONTROL CAPABILITIES, OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE OTHERS, BUT WILL HAVE A LARGER APERTURE, DIFFERENT ORBIT, AND IMPROVED DETECTOR TECHNOLOGIES IN ORDER TO OPERATE BEYOND THE CAPABILITY OF ASTERIA. WE PROPOSE TO DESIGN THE CONSTELLATION IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF SPACECRAFT, ORBITS, INSTRUMENT CAPABILITIES, AND CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS TO ENABLE THE CONSTELLATION TO REACH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF FINDING A TRANSITING EARTH ANALOG ORBITING A NEARBY SUN LIKE STAR, IF ONE EXISTS. THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVES ARE TO: 1. DEVELOP THE DESIGN REFERENCE MISSION, EVALUATE THE SCIENCE RETURN, AND DERIVE THE DETAILED SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS 2. PERFORM ENGINEERING TRADES AND DETAILED DESIGN WORK TO EVOLVE THE ASTERIA PATHFINDER INTO A 12U CONSTELLATION 3. VALIDATE THE DESIGN AND MISSION COST VIA JPL S TEAM X CONCURRENT DESIGN CENTER.

Description

THE INDUCTIVE GENERATION OF A GLOBAL MAGNETIC FIELD BY THE MOTION OF CONDUCTING FLUID IN A PLANETARY CORE IS KNOWN AS THE DYNAMO. ALTHOUGH THE MOON TODAY HAS NO GLOBAL MAGNETIC FIELD, RECENT PALEOMAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS OF APOLLO SAMPLES INDICATE THAT THE MOON GENERATED A DYNAMO FROM AT LEAST 4.25 TO 1.92 BILLION YEARS AGO (GA). FURTHERMORE, SAMPLE MEASUREMENTS SUGGEST THAT PRIOR TO ABOUT 3.5 GA, A PUTATIVE HIGH-FIELD EPOCH EXISTED WHEN THE FIELD INTENSITY MAY HAVE REACHED ~70 MICROTESLAS (UT) (EARTH-STRENGTH). HOWEVER, BECAUSE METALLIC MINERALS IN LUNAR SAMPLES ALTER WHEN HEATED IN AIR, NEARLY ALL PREVIOUS PALEOINTENSITY DETERMINATIONS FROM SAMPLES OLDER THAN ~3.3 GA HAVE EMPLOYED NON-HEATING TECHNIQUES, WHICH HAVE UNCERTAINTIES RANGING UP TO AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE OR MORE FOR SOME SAMPLES. DYNAMO SCALING LAWS INDICATE THAT IF THE MOON S DYNAMO WERE GENERATED BY CONVECTION IN THE CORE, ITS SURFACE FIELD SHOULD NOT HAVE CONTINUOUSLY EXCEEDED ~10 UT OVER THE PERIOD 4.2-3.5 GA. THEREFORE, IF THE FIELD INDEED CONTINUOUSLY REACHED SUCH VALUES OF&GT;70 UT AS TENTATIVELY SUGGESTED BY EXISTING DATA, THEN TWO POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS ARE (I) THE LUNAR CORE GENERATED A CONVECTIVE DYNAMO BUT ONE THAT ONLY INTERMITTENTLY REACHED SUCH HIGH FIELDS DURING THIS PERIOD OR (II) THE LUNAR DYNAMO WAS DRIVEN BY A PROCESS OTHER THAN CORE CONVECTION THAT WAS CAPABLE OF CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCING STRONGER FIELDS. ALTERNATIVELY, (III) THE HIGH APPARENT PALEOINTENSITIES ARE IN ERROR AND THE FIELD NEVER ACTUALLY EXCEED 10 UT. ANY OF THESE 3 OUTCOMES WOULD HAVE MAJOR IMPLICATIONS FOR OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOON S ORIGIN, THERMAL HISTORY, INTERIOR STRUCTURE, ORBITAL HISTORY, AND THE PHYSICS OF DYNAMO GENERATION. THE KEY TO RESOLVING THIS ISSUE IS TO OBTAIN ACCURATE (&LT;10% UNCERTAINTY) PALEOINTENSITIES. SUCH ACCURACIES COULD BE OBTAINED IF LABORATORY HEATING COULD BE CONDUCTED WITHOUT ALTERING THE SAMPLES. WITH THIS GOAL, WE RECENTLY DEVELOPED A CONTROLLED-OXYGEN FUGACITY THERMAL DEMAGNETIZATION SYSTEM. FURTHERMORE, WE HAVE RECENTLY RECOGNIZED THAT GLASSY LUNAR REGOLITH BRECCIAS HAVE OPTIMAL MAGNETIC RECORDING PROPERTIES DUE TO THE FINE SIZES OF THEIR CONSTITUENT METAL GRAINS. APPLYING THIS CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE HEATING APPARATUS TO THREE REGOLITH BRECCIAS, WE HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED THE FIRST ACCURATE HEATING-BASED LUNAR PALEOINTENSITIES FOR THE PERIOD AFTER 2 GA. HERE WE PROPOSE TO CONSTRAIN THE INTENSITY OF THE EARLY LUNAR DYNAMO AND OR REFUTE THE EXISTENCE OF A HIGH-FIELD (I.E., TENS OF UT) EPOCH USING CONTROLLED-ATMOSPHERE THERMAL PALEOINTENSITY ANALYSES. WE WILL ANALYZE FOUR GLASSY LUNAR BRECCIAS OLDER THAN 3.4 GA THAT ARE LIKELY TO HAVE HIGH-FIDELITY RECORDS OF THE GLOBAL LUNAR FIELD SPANNING&GT;0.2 BILLION YEARS OF HISTORY. WE WILL CONDUCT THIS WORK AS PART OF TWO TASKS: TASK 1. MEASURE THE PALEOINTENSITY OF THE LUNAR FIELD USING PALEOMAGNETIC ANALYSES TASK 2. CONSTRAIN THE AGES OF THE PALEOINTENSITIES USING AR-BASED GEOCHRONOMETRY. IF WE FIND THAT THE LUNAR FIELD OVER THE PERIOD ~3.4-4.9 GA WAS EITHER CONTINUOUSLY PRESENT BUT WEAKER THAN ~10 UT, OR ELSE GREATER THAN 10 UT BUT ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THIS WOULD INDICATE THAT THE EARLY DYNAMO COULD HAVE BEEN GENERATED BY CORE CONVECTION [OUTCOME (I) ABOVE]. ALTERNATIVELY, IF WE FIND THAT THE DYNAMO SURFACE FIELD WAS CONTINUOUSLY STRONGER THAN ~10 UT OVER THIS PERIOD, THIS WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE DYNAMO WAS GENERATED BY A PROCESS OTHER THAN CORE CONVECTION [OUTCOME (II)]. FINALLY, IF WE FIND (III) THAT ALL PALEOINTENSITIES DURING THIS PERIOD ARE ACTUALLY WEAKER THAN ~10 UT, THEN THIS WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH A CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING CORE CONVECTION DYNAMO.

DYNAMIC HUMAN-CENTERED SUIT DESIGN: A COMPUTATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL METHOD INTRODUCTION: MANNED SPACE FLIGHT NECESSITATES AN ABILITY TO PROVIDE LIFE SUPPORT TO CREWMEMBERS DURING MULTIPLE MISSION STAGES, IN THE FORM OF SPACE SUITS. WITH CONCEPTS OF ADVANCED MOBILITY FOR ASTRONAUTS THAT CONTAIN EXOSUITS AND JETPACKS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE CURRENT LIMITATIONS PRESENT IN THE UNDERLYING HUMAN-SSA SYSTEM AND HOW THESE CAN BE MITIGATED TO AID FUTURE MOBILITY NEEDS. THE PROPOSED MODEL BASED ENGINEERING FRAMEWORK AND OPERATIONAL EVALUATION WILL PERMIT THE EXTENSION OF EXPLORATION CAPABILITIES THROUGH A SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROCESS THAT FACILITATES MAINTAINABILITY AND UPGRADEABILITY WHILE REDUCING THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH INTEGRATION AND TESTING OF DESIGN MODIFICATIONS. THIS RESEARCH WILL COUPLE FINITE ELEMENT (FE) AND MUSCULOSKELETAL MODELING IN A COMPUTATIONAL EXOSUIT DESIGN AND ANALYSIS PIPELINE (CEDAP), AND USE THIS FRAMEWORK TO EVALUATE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE SENSITIVITY TO PARAMETER CHANGES. PROBLEM STATEMENT: THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO HIGH FIDELITY MODELS THAT ATTAIN ACCURATE REPRESENTATIONS OF BOTH A HUMAN OPERATOR AND WEARABLE SYSTEM. ENABLING SYNERGISTICALLY INTEGRATED SSA DESIGNS THAT AUGMENT PERFORMANCE REQUIRES A TOOL TO EVALUATE DYNAMIC MOBILITY AND AGILITY OF THE HUMAN-SSA SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR THE UNDERLYING HUMAN MOVEMENTS THAT GENERATE THE SUIT MOTIONS, THE SURFACE INTERACTION FORCES AND DEFLECTIONS, AND THE CORRESPONDING JOINT TORQUES. RESEARCH PLAN: COMPUTER-BASED MODELING PROVIDES A METHOD TO PERFORM ITERATIVE ANALYSES THAT WOULD TYPICALLY INCUR ENORMOUS COSTS THROUGH MANUFACTURING AND TESTING OF PHYSICAL COMPONENTS. INCLUSION OF THE HUMAN-SSA INTERACTIONS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS SYSTEMATICALLY DRIVES THE DESIGN TO INCORPORATE HUMAN FACTORS FROM THE START, REVERSING THE CONVENTIONAL PROCESS OF MECHANICAL DESIGN FOLLOWED BY AN EVALUATION OF THE RESULTING IMPACT ON THE OPERATOR. AIM 1: APPLICATION OF FE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL MODELING TO THE INTEGRATED HUMAN-SSA SYSTEM. AIM 2: VALIDATION OF THE CEDAP WITH COMPONENT LEVEL AND HUMAN-SSA EXPERIMENTAL DATA. AIM 3: EVALUATION OF OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN USER INPUTS/TIER 1 MODELS. TECHNICAL APPROACH: THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL ADDRESS THE PROJECT AIMS BY IMPLEMENTING A MULTI-TIERED MODEL FRAMEWORK THAT ACCEPTS INPUTS OF OPERATOR ANTHROPOMETRICS, KINETICS, AND KINEMATICS, AS WELL AS SPECIFIC SSA GEOMETRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS SUCH AS GROUND INCLINATION. USING FE MODELS (FEM), THE HUMAN-SSA SYSTEM INTERACTION FORCES AND SURFACE DEFLECTIONS ARE DETERMINED. A MUSCULOSKELETAL MODEL IS USED TO CALCULATE JOINT TORQUES FOR A SET OF GIVEN MOTION, MUSCLE RECRUITMENT RELATIONSHIPS, AND FE OUTPUTS. THE SUITED AND UN-SUITED CONDITIONS IN THE MUSCULOSKELETAL MODEL CAN BE DIRECTLY COMPARED. WE INTEGRATE A COMPUTATIONAL SOLID MECHANICS ANALYSIS OF THE HUMAN-SSA INTERACTION WITH A MUSCULOSKELETAL MODEL TO DETERMINE THE PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH THE HUMAN AND HUMAN-SSA SYSTEM. IMPACT: THE PROPOSED FRAMEWORK ENABLES AN ITERATIVE MODEL BASED ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS FOR COMPLEX SYNERGISTIC HUMAN-SSA SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS TO HEALTHCARE EXERCISE AND REHABILITATION WEARABLES, MILITARY TACTICAL SUITS, AND AEROSPACE SSA TECHNOLOGIES. IN PARTICULAR, THIS RESEARCH EVALUATES AND DESIGNS THE HUMAN-SSA INTERFACE TO IMPROVE ASTRONAUT MOBILITY AND AGILITY, WHICH MAY INCREASE CREWMEMBER PERFORMANCE.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO CREATE A NEW MODELING AND ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE FOR ENSURING SAFETY AND SECURITY IN SYSTEMS WITH COMPLEX, NEW HUMAN-AUTOMATION TEAMING CONCEPTS. WE WILL START BY CREATING A NEW THEORETICAL MODEL OF HUMAN-AUTOMATION COORDINATION THAT INCLUDES ALL THE VARIOUS NEW TYPES OF PARTNERING BETWEEN HUMANS AND AUTOMATION THAT WILL OCCUR IN THE SYSTEMS OF THE FUTURE. THIS WILL INVOLVE AN EXTENSION OF OUR CURRENT THEORETICAL MODEL OF SAFETY IN SOCIOTECHNICAL SYSTEMS (CALLED STAMP). DEALING ONLY WITH THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE IN SYSTEMS LIKE URBAN AIR MOBILITY AND OTHER FUTURE SYSTEMS WHERE THE PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED ARE SOCIOTECHNICAL AND NOT JUST TECHNICAL.

Description

BACKGROUND: THE MIT-HAWAII NEAR EARTH OBJECT SURVEY (MITHNEOS) HAS BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY MEASURING NEO NEAR-INFRARED SPECTRA USING SPEX ON THE 3-METER NASA IRTF SINCE 2000. SINCE INCEPTION, THIS PROGRAM HAS MEASURED NEAR-INFRARED SPECTRA OF OVER 700 NEAR-EARTH OBJECTS. WE HAVE OBSERVED ~3% OF THE KNOWN DELTA-V&LT;7 KM/S POPULATION, REPRESENTING ABOUT 270 NEOS, 80 OF WHICH HAVE DELTA-V&LT;6 KM/S. THE SURVEY HAS ALSO OBTAINED SPECTRA FOR ~15% OF THE KNOWN PHA POPULATION OR ABOUT 270 OBJECTS. ALL SPECTRAL OBSERVATIONS FROM THIS CAMPAIGN ARE MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE FOR THE COMMUNITY SHORTLY AFTER OBSERVATION AT HTTP://SMASS.MIT.EDU. OBSERVATIONS AND ANALYSIS FROM THIS PROGRAM HAVE HAD A LARGE IMPACT ON NEO SCIENCE, SUCH AS: 1) ENHANCED UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE WEATHERING AND REFRESHING MECHANISMS (VERNAZZA ET AL., 2009 NATURE. BINZEL ET AL. 2010, NATURE, DEMEO ET AL. 2014), 2) METEORITE-NEO LINKS AND NEO-MAIN BELT SOURCE REGION LINKS (VERNAZZA ET AL, 2008, NATURE. THOMAS, C.A.&BINZEL R. P. 2010), 3) CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTREMELY SMALL AND RAPIDLY ROTATING NEOS (POLISHOOK ET AL., 2012), 4) DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES TO DETERMINE ALBEDO AND SPIN ORIENTATION FROM THERMAL EMISSION PAST 2 MICRONS (RIVKIN ET AL. 2005, MOSKOVITZ ET AL. 2017), AND 5) THE VIS+NEAR-INFRARED SPECTRAL TAXONOMY USED BY THE COMMUNITY TO CLASSIFY ASTEROIDS (DEMEO ET AL. 2009). GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: THE PROGRAMMATIC OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK IS TO SPECTRALLY CHARACTERIZE LOW DELTA-V NEOS AND PHAS. WE WILL MEASUREM 500 NEOS OVER A 5 YEAR PERIOD INCLUDING 150 LOW DELTA-V AND 150 PHA TARGETS. SCIENCE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROGRAM ARE: 1) COMPOSITIONAL CHARACTERIZATION THROUGH TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION AND MINERALOGIC ANALYSIS 2) ALBEDO ESTIMATES FROM MODELING OF THERMAL EMISSION PAST TWO MICRONS. 3) IDENTIFICATION OF METEORITE ANALOGS 4) CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NEO POPULATION AND SUB-POPULATIONS INCLUDING MISSION ACCESSIBLE (LOW DELTA-VELOCITY TARGETS), POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ASTEROIDS (PHAS) AND DORMANT COMETS. 5) ANALYSIS OF THE CHANGE IN COMPOSITION OF THE NEO POPULATION AS A FUNCTION OF SIZE. 6) EXPLORATION OF C-COMPLEX DATA TO IDENTIFY DIAGNOSTIC SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS AT NEAR-INFRARED WAVELENGTHS. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY: TARGET SELECTION WILL BE BASED ON NEOS OBSERVABLE ON REQUESTED NASA IRTF OBSERVING DATES BY SEARCHING AMONG LOW DELTA-V TARGETS AND PHAS. DATA WILL BE REDUCED USING THE AUTOSPEX PIPELINE THAT HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY USED FOR THIS PROGRAM FOR WELL OVER A DECADE. SPECTRAL CLASSIFICATION WILL BE PERFORMED USING THE BUS-DEMEO CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS WILL USE ESTABLISHED TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS WHERE APPROPRIATE, SUCH AS PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS, THERMAL MODELING OF SPECTRAL EMISSION TAILS, MINERALOGICAL MODELING AND SPACE WEATHERING MODELING, AND COMPARISON WITH THE RELAB METEORITE DATABASE. RELEVANCE AND APPROPRIATENESS TO SOLAR SYSTEM OBSERVATIONS NEOO: THE PROPOSED WORK IS RELEVANT AND APPROPRIATE TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM OBSERVATIONS NEOO PROGRAM, BECAUSE AS THE PROGRAM SPECIFIES, WE WILL PERFORM NEW GROUND-BASED OBSERVATIONS OF NEAR EARTH OBJECTS TO CHARACTERIZE THEIR COMPOSITIONS. THIS PROGRAM ALSO SUPPORTS THE NASA HUMAN EXPLORATION AND OPERATIONS MISSION DIRECTORATE IN THAT IT PRIORITIZES OBSERVATIONS OF LOW DELTA VELOCITY ORBITS RELATIVE TO EARTH. BECAUSE THE PROPOSED WORK FOCUSES SOLELY ON THE NEAR EARTH OBJECT POPULATION, THE NEOO PROGRAM ELEMENT IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE. THE OBSERVATIONS AND OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROGRAM CANNOT BE ACHIEVED BY CURRENT SPACECRAFT MISSIONS.

Description

PROBLEM STATEMENT: THE CONNECTION BETWEEN RADIATION-INDUCED NEURONAL DAMAGE AND DEFICITS IN BEHAVIOR AND CELLULAR FUNCTION IS STILL LARGELY UNKNOWN. PREVIOUS STUDIES ON THE EFFECTS OF SPACE-LIKE RADIATION HAVE LACKED THE TECHNOLOGY TO SELECTIVELY IRRADIATE INDIVIDUAL CELLS IN CULTURE, MUCH LESS INDIVIDUAL CELLULAR STRUCTURES. THUS THERE IS CURRENTLY NO WAY TO OBSERVE HOW INDIVIDUAL NEURONS RESPOND TO RADIATION-INDUCED DAMAGE OF SPECIFIC CELLULAR STRUCTURES, WHICH IS CRITICAL TO BUILDING THE MECHANISTIC LINK BETWEEN RADIATION DAMAGE AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES. OVERALL GOAL: THIS PROJECT AIMS TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM UTILIZING PARTICLE MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGY AND NEURONAL CELL CULTURE THAT CAN SERVE AS A GROUND-BASED ANALOG TO NEURON EXPOSURE TO SPACE RADIATION. THIS NEURON-MICROBEAM SYSTEM WILL BE USED TO INVESTIGATE THE MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR EFFECTS OF HIGH-ENERGY PARTICLE RADIATION ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. BACKGROUND: SPACE RADIATION POSES ONE OF THE LEAST UNDERSTOOD AND LEAST MITIGATED RISKS TO HUMANS TRAVELING OUTSIDE THE PROTECTION OF EARTH S MAGNETIC FIELD. PREVIOUS RADIATION BIOLOGY RESEARCH HAS PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON DNA DAMAGE AND THE RESULTING CARCINOGENESIS RISK, AND THIS WORK HAS BEEN LARGELY CONCERNED WITH LOW LINEAR ENERGY TRANSFER (LET) IONIZING RADIATION SUCH AS GAMMA RAYS AND X-RAYS. HOWEVER, SPACE RADIATION INCLUDES A VARIETY OF HIGH ATOMIC NUMBER, HIGH-ENERGY (HZE) IONS THAT TRANSFER LARGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY WHEN TRAVERSING BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS. A MARS TRIP WOULD EXPOSE ASTRONAUTS TO A TOTAL OF ABOUT 0.2 GY OF HZE IONS. THIS DOSE IS RELATIVELY SMALL FOR LOW LET RADIATION, BUT HZE IONS WITH A HIGH LET CAN INFLICT SIGNIFICANT BIOLOGICAL DAMAGE EVEN AT THIS LOW DOSE. THE LONG-STANDING RADIATION BIOLOGY THEORY THAT DNA IS THE PRIMARY RADIOSENSITIVE TARGET IN CELLS MAY NOT HOLD TRUE FOR THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) IN THE LOW-FLUENCE, HIGH-ENERGY CHARGED PARTICLE RADIATION ENVIRONMENT OF SPACE. BECAUSE MUCH OF THE CNS CONSISTS OF VOLUMES CONTAINING MOSTLY CELLULAR PROCESSES AND RELATIVELY FEW CELL BODIES, IT IS PLAUSIBLE THAT IN LOW DOSE AND DOSE RATE CONDITIONS, ONLY A SMALL FRACTION OF CELLS TRAVERSED BY A CHARGED PARTICLE WILL SUFFER DAMAGE TO THE NUCLEUS. THUS THE OBSERVED RADIATION-INDUCED DEFICITS ARE LIKELY CAUSED BY THE TRAVERSAL OF A PARTICLE THROUGH SOME EXTRA-NUCLEAR COMPONENT OF THE CELL. RESEARCH PLAN: THE EARLY STAGES OF THIS PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING A CELL CULTURE METHOD FOR NEURONS THAT FITS THE TIGHT CONSTRAINTS OF THE MICROBEAM SYSTEM. THE NEW CULTURE METHOD WILL BE EVALUATED BY ITS ABILITY TO REPLICATE PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED CHANGES IN DENDRITIC SPINE MORPHOLOGY AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CYTOSKELETAL PROTEINS. THE LATTER STAGES OF THIS PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON INTEGRATING THIS CELL CULTURE METHOD WITH THE PARTICLE MICROBEAM AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY S RADIOLOGICAL RESEARCH ACCELERATOR FACILITY. A CUSTOM IMAGING AND TARGETING PROTOCOL WILL BE DEVELOPED USING FLUORESCENT REPORTERS AND THE MICROBEAM FACILITY S TARGETING SYSTEM TO SELECTIVELY IRRADIATE SUBCELLULAR STRUCTURES OF INDIVIDUAL NEURONS IN NEURONAL CULTURES. AIM 1: DEVELOPMENT OF A NEURONAL CULTURE PROCEDURE COMPATIBLE WITH THE PARTICLE MICROBEAM SYSTEM AIM 2: INTEGRATION OF MICROBEAM TARGETING SYSTEM AND NEURONAL CULTURE. AIM 3: VALIDATION OF NEURON-MICROBEAM SYSTEM VIA SELECTIVE IRRADIATION OF NEURONAL DENDRITES IMPACT: THIS PROJECT AIMS TO CREATE THE TECHNOLOGICAL CAPACITY TO INVESTIGATE CELLULAR RESPONSES TO SPECIFIC, SUBCELLULAR RADIATION TARGETS FOR THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING THE MECHANISTIC LINK BETWEEN RADIATION DAMAGE AND DEFICITS IN HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE. HAVING THIS CAPABILITY WILL HELP ADDRESS THE KNOWLEDGE GAPS RELATED TO ACUTE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EXPOSURE TO SPACE RADIATION. THIS WORK CAN ALSO BE ADAPTED TO ADDRESS THE RADIATION EXPOSURE OF OTHER TISSUE TYPES AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT EARTH-SIDE ENDEAVORS, NAMELY THE TREATMENT OF BRAIN TUMORS WITH HIGH-ENERGY CHARGED PARTICLE RADIATION.

Description

ONE OF THE ONLY DIRECT ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACTS IN THE UPPER TROPOSPHERE ARE THE ICE CLOUDS WHICH CAN FORM IN THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE EXHAUST UNDER CERTAIN ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS. THESE CONTRAIL CIRRUS PERSIST FOR UP TO 24 HOURS, SPREADING FROM LINE-SHAPED TRAILS INTO CIRRUS CLOUDS WHICH CAN BE KILOMETERS WIDE. ALTHOUGH EACH INSTANCE TYPICALLY LASTS FOR LESS THAN A DAY, CONTRAIL CIRRUS HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED TO CAUSE CLIMATE IMPACTS EQUIVALENT TO THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH ALL CO2 EMITTED FROM AIRCRAFT IN THE PAST 80 YEARS. HOWEVER, DUE TO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES IN OVERALL COVERAGE AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF CONTRAIL CIRRUS, THERE REMAINS AN ORDER-OF-MAGNITUDE UNCERTAINTY IN THEIR OVERALL IMPACT. MEANWHILE, EFFECTS ON ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION AND AIR QUALITY HAVE YET TO BE INVESTIGATED. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES BY (I) VALIDATING AND REFINING THE CONTRAIL EVOLUTION AND RADIATION MODEL (CERM) THROUGH AN OBSERVATIONAL APPROACH AND (II) APPLYING CERM AND ATMOSPHERIC CHEMICAL MODELING TO ASSESS PAST, CURRENT, AND FUTURE CONTRAIL COVERAGE AND ITS ATMOSPHERIC IMPACTS ON CLIMATE AND SURFACE AIR QUALITY. FOR THIS PURPOSE, WE WILL FIRST LEVERAGE A NOVEL MACHINE LEARNING-BASED APPROACH TO QUANTIFY CONTRAIL CIRRUS COVERAGE OVER THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, BASED ON A FULL YEAR OF DATA FROM THE GOES-16 GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE. BY TRAINING A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK ON PREVIOUSLY-CLASSIFIED IMAGERY, WE WILL PRODUCE AN OPEN-SOURCE, GENERALIZABLE MODEL OF CONTRAIL CIRRUS IDENTIFICATION. THIS MODEL WILL BE USED FOR A FIRST MACHINE-LEARNING BASED OBSERVATIONAL STUDY TO IDENTIFY CONTRAIL CIRRUS COVERAGE AND ITS SPATIAL, DIURNAL, AND SEASONAL TRENDS AT HIGH RESOLUTION (~2KM). THIS DATA WILL THEN BE USED TO CALIBRATE CERM, WHICH ESTIMATES CONTRAIL CIRRUS COVERAGE AND PROPERTIES AT THE REGIONAL TO GLOBAL LEVEL. ONCE CALIBRATED AND VALIDATED, CERM WILL BE APPLIED TO QUANTIFY GLOBAL CONTRAIL CIRRUS COVERAGE AT A SPATIAL RESOLUTION OF ~50 KM FOR EACH HOUR IN THE CALIBRATION YEAR. THIS COVERAGE ESTIMATE WILL BE MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, ALONG WITH AN ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL GLOBAL AND REGIONAL RADIATIVE FORCING RESULTING FROM CONTRAIL CIRRUS. FOLLOWING THIS INITIAL ESTIMATE OF CURRENT-DAY COVERAGE, A MULTI-DECADE SIMULATION WILL BE EMPLOYED TO DERIVE THE FIRST CONTRAIL CIRRUS INVENTORY FOR THE YEARS 1980 TO 2050. PAST METEOROLOGICAL AND CLIMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONS WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE EXISTING MERRA-2 METEOROLOGICAL DATA SET AND FUTURE CONDITIONS WILL BE ESTIMATED WITH THE COMMUNITY EARTH SYSTEM MODEL UNDER DIFFERENT ECONOMIC SCENARIOS. USING HISTORICAL AVIATION SCHEDULE DATA AND PROJECTED FUTURE AVIATION ACTIVITY, COVERAGE AND PROPERTIES (E.G. LIFETIME, OPTICAL DEPTH) OF CONTRAIL CIRRUS WILL BE SIMULATED FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD. THE DATA WILL BE ANALYZED WITH REGARD TO DEPENDENCE ON TRAFFIC, REGIONAL VARIATIONS IN FORMATION LIKELIHOOD, AND THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON CONTRAIL CIRRUS. FINALLY, WE WILL QUANTIFY THE IMPACTS OF CONTRAIL CIRRUS ON CLIMATE, ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION, AND AIR QUALITY OVER THE SAME 70 YEAR PERIOD. THIS WILL BE ENABLED BY DIRECT SIMULATION OF ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION IN THE GEOS-CHEM HIGH PERFORMANCE CHEMISTRYTRANSPORT MODEL, USING THE CONTRAIL INVENTORIES PRODUCED IN PREVIOUS STEPS. WE EXPECT THIS PROJECT TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS FOR SCIENTISTS, DECISION MAKERS AND THE PUBLIC. IN PARTICULAR, IT WILL (I) FOR THE FIRST TIME, CALIBRATE AND VALIDATE CONTRAIL MODELS THROUGH OBSERVATIONAL DATA (II) PRODUCE THE FIRST SET OF COMPREHENSIVE CONTRAIL INVENTORIES FOR USE IN ATMOSPHERIC MODELS (III) REDUCE THE LEVEL OF UNCERTAINTY IN CONTRAIL COVERAGE FOR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE CONDITIONS (IV) ADVANCE ALGORITHMIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED FOR NEAR REAL-TIME CONTRAIL IDENTIFICATION AND (V) PRODUCE THE FIRST ESTIMATES OF IMPACTS ON ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION, AIR QUALITY, AND HUMAN HEALTH RESULTING FROM CONTRAIL CIRRUS.

Description

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ANTICIPATED SOURCES FOR THE LOW-FREQUENCY, SPACE-BASED GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE (GW) ANTENNA LISA ARE THE INSPIRALS OF STELLAR MASS COMPACT BODIES INTO MASSIVE BLACK HOLES. IN SUCH BINARIES, THE SMALLER MEMBER SPENDS MANY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ORBITS DEEP IN THE LARGER BLACK HOLE'S STRONG FIELD. AS SUCH, GWS FROM THESE "EXTREME MASS RATIO INSPIRALS" (OR "EMRIS") CARRY A CLEAN MAP OF THE LARGE BLACK HOLE'S SPACETIME. PRELIMINARY ANALYSES SHOW THAT THESE SOURCES WILL MAKE POSSIBLE EXQUISITELY PRECISE MEASUREMENTS OF MASSIVE BLACK HOLE PROPERTIES, MEASURING BLACK HOLE DEMOGRAPHICS TO REDSHIFT Z OF ABOUT 0.5 - 1, AND ENABLING PRECISE CONSISTENCY TESTS OF STRONG-FIELD GRAVITY NEAR BLACK HOLE EVENT HORIZONS. SUCH MEASUREMENTS WILL RELY HEAVILY ON THEORETICAL MODELING. EMRI WAVEFORMS WILL HAVE AMPLITUDES A FACTOR TEN OR MORE SMALLER THAN NOISE, SO DETECTING AND MEASURING THEIR WAVES WILL REQUIRE MODELS THAT CAN TRACK EMRI WAVES' PHASE OVER THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ORBITS THAT THEY RADIATE IN THE BAND OF LISA. THEORETICAL EFFORTS OVER THE PAST DECADE HAVE DONE MUCH TO CLARIFY HOW WELL LISA CAN MEASURE THESE WAVES, AND WHAT CAN BE LEARNED FROM GW MEASUREMENTS. MOST OF THE COMMUNITY'S EFFORTS ARE PRESENTLY FOCUSED ON SELF FORCE CALCULATIONS, COMPUTING EFFECTS ARISING FROM THE COMPACT BODY'S INTERACTION WITH ITS OWN DEFORMATION TO THE SPACETIME. HOW FAR MUST SUCH ANALYSES BE PUSHED BEFORE WE ARE CONFIDENT WE HAVE MODELED ALL OBSERVATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS? IS SECOND ORDER IN THE SMALL BODY'S MASS RATIO "FAR ENOUGH"? WHAT OTHER EFFECTS MUST BE INCLUDED IN ORDER FOR EMRI MEASUREMENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR PROMISE? DO WE NEED TO INCLUDE THE INFLUENCE OF THE SMALLER BODY'S SPIN, OR ITS QUADRUPOLE MOMENT? CAN A THIRD BODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE EMRI AFFECT THE SYSTEM AT A SIGNIFICANT LEVEL? WE PROPOSE TO MAKE A SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF WHAT EFFECTS CAN IMPACT AN EMRI SYSTEM'S EVOLUTION. WE PLAN TO CATALOG BOTH HOW FAR ANALYSES MUST BE TAKEN, AND WHAT EFFECTS MUST BE INCLUDED IN ORDER FOR EMRI MEASUREMENTS TO LIVE UP TO THEIR PROMISE.

FOLLOWING THE SUCCESSFUL DISCOVERY OF A 1.2 D PERIOD FROM HIGH-CADENCE SWIFT/XRT MONITORING OF THE ULTRALUMINOUS X-RAY SOURCE (ULX) IN NGC 55 WE PROPOSE SIMILAR MONITORING OBSERVATIONS (0.5KS AND 1.5KS?5 VISITS PER DAY FOR 10 DAYS) OF TWO MORE VARIABLE ULXS WITH KNOWN OPTICAL COUNTERPARTS (HOLMBERG II X-1 AND NGC 247 ULX). OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO SEARCH FOR ORBITAL PERIODS IN THE RANGE OF A FEW 10S OF HOURS IN THESE TWO SOURCES. THIS PARTICULAR PERIOD RANGE TYPICAL OF STELLAR-MASS BLACK HOLE BINARIES HAS NOT BEEN PROBED BEFORE FOR ULXS. ANY DETECTED PERIODS WILL BE AN IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS DYNAMICAL MASS MEASUREMENT OF THESE COMPACT OBJECTS. WITH NGC 55 ULX WE HAVE ALREADY DEMONSTRATED THAT SWIFT, WITH ITS EXCELLENT X-RAY SENSITIVITY AND FAST MANEUVERING CAPABILITY, CAN DEFINITELY CARRY OUT THESE OBSERVATIONS.

Description

TRAVELING IONOSPHERIC DISTURBANCES (TIDS) REPRESENT A KEY DYNAMIC PROCESS OF ENERGY TRANSFER IN THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL DIRECTIONS, AND ARE ONE OF THE IMPORTANT SOURCES OF IONOSPHERIC VARIABILITY. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN STUDIED FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, THE SOURCES OF TIDS REMAIN A MATTER OF A DEBATE. THIS WORK STRIVES TO IDENTIFY SOURCES OF MEDIUM-SCALE TIDS (MSTIDS) OBSERVED AT HIGH TO MIDDLE NORTHERN LATITUDES AND LINK THEM TO GRAVITY WAVES (GWS) GENERATED IN THE REGION OF THE ARCTIC POLAR VORTEX. IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT STRONGER WESTWARD GWS IN THE MESOSPHERE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONGER AND LESS VARIABLE ARCTIC POLAR VORTEX THAT IS ALSO MORE CONFINED TO THE NORTH POLE AND EXTENDED TO HIGHER ALTITUDES. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT INTERMITTENT BODY FORCES FROM THE STRONGER GWS WILL PRODUCE STRONGER SECONDARY GWS (AND PROBABLY STRONGER TERTIARY GWS) AND HENCE CAUSE TIDS WITH LARGER AMPLITUDES AND/OR HIGHER OCCURRENCE RATES. CONFIRMATION OF THIS HYPOTHESIS WILL PROVIDE A BASIS FOR IMPROVED PHYSICAL UNDERSTANDING OF MSTIDS AND OF THE IMPRINT OF INTRA-SEASONAL LOWER ATMOSPHERE VARIABILITY IN IONOSPHERIC VARIABILITY AND TIDS, AND IT WILL HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PREDICTION OF MSTIDS.

PHYTOPLANKTON PLAY KEY ROLES AS THE BASE OF THE MARINE FOOD WEB AND AS A CRUCIAL COMPONENT IN THE EARTH'S CARBON CYCLE. UNDERSTANDING HOW OCEAN DYNAMICS INFLUENCE PLANKTON ECOLOGY WILL ADD TO BASIC KNOWLEDGE AND INFORM STUDIES OF HIGHER-LEVEL MARINE ORGANISM HABITAT. HERE WE PROPOSE TO EXAMINE HOW OCEAN DYNAMICS ACROSS AN UNPRECEDENTED RANGE OF SCALES (FROM BASIN-SCALE GYRE CIRCULATION TO FRONTS, EDDIES, FILAMENTS, AND LONG INTERNAL WAVES) SET, TRANSPORT, AND RE-ORGANIZE PHYTOPLANKTON COMMUNITIES. WE WILL USE A COMBINATION OF SATELLITE DATA, EXTENSIVE FLOW CYTOMETRY OBSERVATIONS, OTHER EXISTING IN-SITU MEASUREMENTS, AND MODELING TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS. OUR PROPOSAL BRINGS TOGETHER AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM WITH EXPERTISE IN PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY, PHYSICAL OCEAN MODELS, ECOLOGY, MARINE ECOSYSTEM MODELS, SATELLITE OCEANOGRAPHY, BIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY, COMPUTATION AND DATA ANALYTICS. WE PROPOSE TO STUDY: (1) THE COMBINATION OF PHYSICAL MECHANISMS ON SCALES FROM 1 TO 1000S KM THAT CONTROL THE DYNAMIC PHYTOPLANKTON COMMUNITY BIOGEOGRAPHY (2) THE OBSERVABLE SIGNATURES OF THESE MULTISCALE BIOGEOGRAPHICAL PATTERNS IN SATELLITE AND IN-SITU DATA (3) THE CONSEQUENCES OF PHYSICAL PROCESSES OF DIFFERENT SCALES ON BIOGEOGRAPHY, BIOGEOCHEMISTRY, HIGHER TROPHIC LEVELS, AND IMPLICATION FOR VULNERABILITY OF ECOSYSTEMS (4) WHAT IS MISSED WHEN THE VARIOUS SCALES ARE NOT RESOLVED IN OBSERVATIONS AND MODELS AND (5) HOW OBSERVABLE SIGNATURES CAN BE SYSTEMATICALLY EXPLOITED TO BEST MONITOR THE TRANSPORT AND REORGANIZATION OF MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON BIOGEOGRAPHY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.

SWEPT TIME-SPACE DOMAIN DECOMPOSITION RULE FOR BREAKING THE LATENCY BARRIER IN 20 YEARS, ENGINEERS WILL NOT SIMPLY BE DOING CFD ANALYSIS. THEY'LL BE SITTING AND DOING HIGH-FIDELITY DESIGN USING COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND INCORPORATING CFD INTO THE DESIGN, ALMOST IN REAL TIME. J. SLOTNICK, AUTHOR OF NASA CFD-2030. OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO MAKE HIGH-FIDELITY CFD FAST ENOUGH FOR REAL-TIME DESIGN. A FUNDAMENTAL BARRIER TO THIS IS THE LATENCY BETWEEN LEVELS OF THE PARALLEL MEMORY HIERARCHY THAT LIMITS THE PERFORMANCE OF TIME-STEP SCHEMES AND ITERATIVE SOLUTION METHODS. WE PROPOSE THE SWEPT TIME-SPACE DECOMPOSITION RULE TO BYPASS THIS BARRIER. THE DECOMPOSED DOMAINS HAVE BOUNDARIES IN SPACE AND TIME THAT MATCH THE DOMAINS OF DEPENDENCY AND INFLUENCE OF THE GOVERNING NAVIER-STOKES PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS. THE RESULTING SWEPT DECOMPOSITION ENABLES EACH COMPUTING NODE TO ADVANCE MANY TIME STEPS OR PERFORM MANY ITERATIONS BEFORE HAVING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ITS NEIGHBORS, THEREBY BREAKING THE LATENCY BARRIER. TODAY'S WELL-UNDERSTOOD CFD ALGORITHMS AND SOFTWARE WILL HAVE TO BE REWRITTEN OR OVERHAULED TO WORK ON MASSIVELY PARALLEL COMPUTERS.W. GROPP, AUTHOR OF NASA CFD-2030. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP THE SWEPT DECOMPOSITION RULE INTO AN API THAT MAKES IT EASY TO REWRITE AN EXISTING CFD CODE. THE API SEPARATES IMPLEMENTATION OF NUMERICAL SCHEMES ON A SPACE-TIME GRID (VOLUME OR ELEMENT) FROM THE CODE THAT ORCHESTRATES THEIR EXECUTION AND HANDLES COMMUNICATIONS. THE FORMER PART CAN BE AGNOSTIC OF COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE, AND THEREFORE CAN FOCUS ON THE PHYSICS AND NUMERICAL ACCURACY. THE LATTER IS AGNOSTIC OF PDE AND NUMERICAL SCHEME, AND THEREFORE CAN BE OPTIMIZED FOR NEXT GENERATION COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE. THIS SEPARATION IS ESSENTIAL IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE ON INCREASINGLY PREVALENT HETEROGENEOUS HPC ARCHITECTURES. THE SWEPT DECOMPOSITION SCHEME MUST BE ADVANCED BEYOND SIMPLY MPI PARALLELISM TO MPI+X, WHERE X REFERS TO A GPU OR OTHER PARALLEL COPROCESSOR (E.G., INTEL XEON PHI). HOWEVER, SUCH STREAMING PROCESSORS INTRODUCE ADDITIONAL COMPLEXITY THAT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT ALGORITHMIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH AN ADDITIONAL SPACE-TIME DECOMPOSITION LEVEL WITHIN THE GPU THAT CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ITS MULTIPLE MEMORY HIERARCHIES. OPTIMAL PROCESSING AND MEMORY CONFIGURATIONS WILL BE EXPLORED THROUGH BOTH STATIC AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS METHODS. FURTHERMORE, SINCE THE SWEPT DECOMPOSITION SCHEME ALLOWS SIGNIFICANT LOCAL CALCULATIONS BETWEEN ANY COMMUNICATION, THE CPU AND GPU ON A NODE WILL PERFORM CALCULATIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY UNLIKE NEARLY ALL EXISTING GPU-ACCELERATED CFD APPROACHES AVOIDING ANY WASTED RESOURCES. MOREOVER, MODERN AEROSPACE CFD RELIES ON 3D UNSTRUCTURED MESHES. THERE IS A STRONG RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANALYZING UNSTRUCTURED MESHES, GRAPH THEORY, AND SPARSE MATRIX ALGORITHMS. IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS PROPOSAL, WE WILL DESIGN A GRAPH THEORETICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE DECOMPOSED SPACE-TIME SUBDOMAINS THAT WILL SEAMLESSLY GENERALIZE THE RESULTS ON STRUCTURED MESHES TO UNSTRUCTURED MESHES. THE PROPOSED CHARACTERIZATION IS BASED ON A NOTION OF TRUNCATED BREADTH-FIRST SEARCHES THAT MODEL THE SET OF REACHABLE SPATIOTEMPORAL LOCATIONS. IT WILL BE EQUALLY APPLICABLE TO PARALLEL TIME INTEGRATION AND TO ITERATIVE SOLUTION METHODS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL DEVELOP SOLUTION TECHNIQUES BASED ON THE SWEPT DECOMPOSITION RULE FOR THE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS THAT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE EFFICIENCY (POTENTIALLY MULTIPLE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE) ON CURRENT AND FUTURE HPC SYSTEMS. PRELIMINARY RESULTS HAVE BROKEN THE LATENCY BARRIER BY A FACTOR OF 10 WHEN SOLVING A 1D EULER EQUATION USING A SECOND-ORDER SHOCK-CAPTURING FINITE VOLUME SCHEME. BY ELIMINATING THE LATENCY BARRIER IN LARGE-SCALE PARALLEL CFD SIMULATIONS, WE WILL MAKE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS MOVING TOWARDS THE GRAND CHALLENGE OF REAL-TIME DESIGN OF AEROSPACE SYSTEMS.

Description

THE MIT KAVLI INSTITUTE FOR ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE RESEARCH (MKI) INTENDS TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL TO THE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES-2017) OPPORTUNITY (NNH17ZDA001N-SAT) UNDER THE STRATEGIC ASTROPHYSICS TECHNOLOGY (SAT) PROGRAM ELEMENT. WITH PREVIOUS NASA SUPPORT, MIT HAS DEVELOPED A REVOLUTIONARY TYPE OF LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGH EFFICIENCY AND HIGH RESOLUTION DIFFRACTION ELEMENT CALLED A CRITICAL ANGLE X-RAY TRANSMISSION (CAT) GRATING. CONCENTRATED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT HAS PRODUCED PROTOTYPE GRATING ELEMENTS WITH HIGH DIFFRACTION EFFICIENCY AND SPECTRAL RESOLUTION APPROACHING PREDICTED LEVELS. THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS SELECTED FOR THE ARCUS X-RAY SPECTROMETER PROPOSAL FOR A NASA MIDEX MISSION WHICH HAS WON A PHASE A AWARD. A SERIES OF PROTOTYPE FLIGHT GRATING SPECTROMETERS USING CAT GRATINGS HAVE BEEN BUILT AND X-RAY TESTED, MEETING ARCUS MISSION REQUIREMENTS AND PASSING ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS. HOWEVER, THE RELATIVELY MODEST REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ARCUS SPECTROMETER ARE NOT AS CHALLENGING AS WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR A STRATEGIC MISSION SUCH AS LYNX. FURTHER ADVANCES IN GRATING DIFFRACTION EFFICIENCY, RESOLUTION, ELEMENT SIZE, MANUFACTURABILITY AND ASSEMBLY ACCURACY WILL BE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO MEET LYNX SCIENTIFIC AND COST GOALS. MIT PROPOSES TO DEVELOP NEW GRATING FABRICATION TECHNOLOGY LEVERAGING THE ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY TOOLS OF THE MIT LINCOLN LABORATORY SILICON WAFER FOUNDRY, ESSENTIALLY TRANSFERRING FABRICATION PROCESSES DEVELOPED BY MIT STUDENTS ON SMALL WAFERS USING RESEARCH TOOLS IN OUR ON-CAMPUS LAB TO THE MORE PRECISE 200 MM WAFER TOOLS IN LINCOLN'S MICROELECTRONICS LABORATORY FACILITY. THE IMPROVED PROCESS CONTROL AND PATTERNING ACCURACY ENABLED BY LINCOLN'S ADVANCED CMOS FABRICATION TOOL SET ARE ESSENTIAL TO ENABLE THE REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS IN SPECTROMETER PERFORMANCE REQUIRED BY LYNX.

Description

AT THE PRESENT TIME, DEEP-SPACE MISSIONS ARE PLANNED IN THE SAME WAY AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOR DECADES: USING BRUTE FORCE COMPUTATIONS OVER MANY MISSION PARAMETERS. SUCH CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE THE MASS, THRUST, AND POWER GENERATION CAPABILITIES OF A PROBE AND/OR THE DESTINATIONS THAT MAKE UP ITS JOURNEY. NEW TECHNOLOGIES, HOWEVER, ARE POSED TO DRAMATICALLY ENHANCE THIS PROCESS. ADVANCES IN REINFORCEMENT LEARNING (RL) AND DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS OFFER PERFORMANCE THAT CAN MATCH OR EVEN SURPASS THAT OF CURRENT STATE-OF-THEART METHODS IN COMPLEX TASKS WITH LARGE DESIGN SPACES. THIS PROPOSAL SEEKS TO APPLY THIS TECHNOLOGY TO THE GENERATION AND CONTROL OF ENERGY EFFICIENT, LOW-THRUST SPACECRAFT TRAJECTORIES. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL USE AN ACTOR-CRITIC BASED POLICY APPROACH TO EXPLORE TRAJECTORY PROBLEMS. THE INNOVATION IN THIS METHOD IS THAT THE CRITIC WILL USE CONCEPTS FROM TRANSFER LEARNING TO GENERALIZE CONTROL PROBLEMS OVER MANY APPLICATIONS. THE LEARNING AGENT WILL THEREFORE BE ABLE TO LEARN THE FEATURES OF AN OPTIMIZED TRAJECTORY FROM THOSE THAT IT HAD PREVIOUSLY GENERATED, AND THEN USE THIS KNOWLEDGE TO DISCOVER NEW TRAJECTORY SOLUTIONS TO OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS WORK WILL ALSO EXPLORE AN ACTOR-CRITIC FRAMEWORK FOR CONTINUOUS ACTION PROBLEMS WHERE CONTINUOUS CONTROL IS DESIRED AND FOR PROBLEMS WITH DYNAMIC CONSTRAINTS. BY APPLYING RL TO THE DESIGN OF INTERPLANETARY MISSIONS, FUTURE SPACECRAFT WILL BE ABLE TO MORE EASILY FOLLOW LOW-THRUST TRAJECTORIES AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MULTI-BODY DYNAMICS, INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL HOHMANN TRANSFER. NON-STANDARD ORBITS ABOUT LIBRATION POINTS WOULD ALSO BE MADE MORE AVAILABLE. FURTHERMORE, BY NOT REQUIRING LARGE COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES, THIS TECHNOLOGY COULD BE APPLIED TO FUTURE MANNED MISSIONS FOR ONBOARD MISSION PLANNING. THE INCREASED FREEDOM IN MISSION DESIGN AFFORDED BY THIS TECHNOLOGY WOULD OFFER SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS TO BOTH NASA AND OTHER SPACEFLIGHT PROGRAMS

Description

THE PERSISTENT X-RAY PULSAR AND CYCLOTRON LINE SOURCE 4U 1907+09 HAS NOT BEEN OBSERVED IN SEVERAL YEARS. RECENTLY, SEVERAL X-RAY PULSARS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO EXHIBIT A SECULAR DECAY IN THEIR CYCLOTRON LINE ENERGY ON TIMESCALES OF MONTHS TO YEARS. 4U 1907+09 IS A PRIME CANDIDATE TO SEARCH FOR THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR, DUE TO ITS PERSISTENT FLUX LEVEL AND ITS TWO CYCLOTRON LINES WELL WITHIN THE NUSTAR BAND. IT IS ADDITIONALLY OF INTEREST DUE TO ITS MODERATE X-RAY FLUX, WHICH LIKELY PLACES IT IN THE "LOW SUB-CRITICAL" ACCRETION REGIME, A PRIME AREA FOR TESTING NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MODELING OF X-RAY SPECTRA FROM ACCRETING PULSARS.

Description

THE ENERGY OUTPUT FROM AN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS IS RELEASED VERY CLOSE TO THE CENTRAL BLACK HOLE, AND THEREFORE, PROBING THE RELATIVISTIC REGION OF THE INNER ACCRETION FLOW--AT THE INTERSECTION OF INFLOW AND OUTFLOW--IS ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTANDING HOW SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES EFFECT THEIR GALACTIC ENVIRONMENTS. XARM WILL PROVIDE AN UNPRECEDENTED VIEW OF THIS FEEDBACK PROCESS IN ACCRETING BLACK HOLE SYSTEMS. IN THIS SHORT STATEMENT, I POSE THREE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS IN BLACK HOLE ACCRETION, AND DESCRIBE FUTURE XARM INVESTIGATIONS THAT WILL WORK TO RESOLVE THEM. WHAT IS THE SPIN OF A BLACK HOLE? THE SPIN OF THE BLACK HOLE STRONGLY AFFECTS THE OVERALL ACCRETION EFFICIENCY, AND MAY ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVING RELATIVISTIC JETS. FURTHERMORE, OBTAINING A TRUE DISTRIBUTION OF BLACK HOLE SPIN IN THE LOCAL UNIVERSE WILL CONSTRAIN THE GROWTH HISTORY OF SMBHS, WHETHER MOSTLY THROUGH PROLONGED ACCRETION WHERE ANGULAR MOMENTUM BUILDS UP OVER TIME, OR THROUGH CHAOTIC ACCRETION (VOLONTERI 2005). TO MEASURE BLACK HOLE SPIN, WE REQUIRE SPECTRA OF THE BROAD IRON LINE THAT CAN BE DISTINGUISHED FROM NARROW EMISSION AND ABSORPTION FEATURES PRODUCED THROUGH REPROCESSING IN THE TORUS, A WIND OR THE OUTER ACCRETION DISC. RESOLVE WILL PROVIDE A CLEAN VIEW OF BOTH THE BROAD IRON LINE AND SOFT EXCESS, WHICH WILL VASTLY IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF SYSTEMATIC UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH SPIN MEASUREMENTS. IN ADDITION TO AGN, BOTH INSTRUMENTS ON XARM WILL MEASURE THE SPIN IN BLACK HOLE BINARIES, WITH RESOLVE MEASURING SPIN THROUGH THE BROAD IRON LINE METHOD, AND XTEND MAKING AN INDEPENDENT SPIN MEASURE THROUGH MODELING OF THE THERMAL CONTINUUM. ARE ACCRETION DISC WINDS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DRIVE FEEDBACK? IN RECENT YEARS, FAST OUTFLOWS OF 0.1-0.3C HAVE BEEN FOUND IN AGN AND BHBS THROUGH HIGHLY IONISED ABSORPTION FEATURES IN THE IRON K BAND USING CCD DETECTORS, AND IN NARROW SOFT X-RAY LINES USING REFLECTION GRATINGS. THESE WINDS CARRY A LOT OF KINETIC ENERGY, WHICH MAY BE ENOUGH TO DRIVE FEEDBACK ON GALACTIC SCALES. RESOLVE WILL MEASURE THE STRUCTURE OF ULTRAFAST OUTFLOWS IN UNPRECEDENTED DETAIL. UFOS ARE LAUNCHED CLOSE TO THE BLACK HOLE AND ARE HIGHLY DYNAMIC (TOMBESI ET AL., 2013). WE NEED HIGHER SPECTRAL RESOLUTION TO MAP OUT THE VELOCITY PROFILE OF THE FE XXV/XXVI OUTFLOWS, AND HIGHER COLLECTING AREA THAN PREVIOUS REFLECTION GRATING SPECTROMETERS TO UNDERSTAND THE TIME VARIABILITY OF WINDS. FURTHERMORE, CURRENT CCD DETECTORS OFTEN CANNOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN FE XXV AND FE XXVI, THEREFORE CAUSING LARGE UNCERTAINTIES IN THE OUTFLOW VELOCITY AND KINETIC ENERGY. WITH XARM, WE WILL DISTINGUISH THESE LINES, AND LOOK FOR HIGHER ORDER TRANSITIONS OF FE XXV AND FE XXVI, AS WELL AS ABSORPTION FROM LIGHTER ELEMENTS.

Description

THE QUESTION OF WHAT ATMOSPHERIC GASES INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF LIFE BOTH ON SOLAR SYSTEM AND EXOPLANETS IS AN OLD ONE. TO GUIDE NEW RESEARCH WE HAVE TAKEN A DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH EXTENDING BEYOND SIMPLE EXTRAPOLATION FROM TERRESTRIAL BIOCHEMISTRY, AND BASED ON OUR COMPILATION OF THREE SEPARATE YET INTERTWINED DATABASES. THE FIRST IS A DATABASE OF ALL MOLECULES THAT ARE VOLATILE AND STABLE AT STANDARD TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE (SEAGER ET AL. 2016). THE SECOND IS A COLLECTION OF MOLECULES PRODUCED BY LIFE ( NATURAL PRODUCTS ), MANUALLY CURATED FROM AVAILABLE LITERATURE AND PUBLIC DATA REPOSITORIES (PETKOWSKI, BAINS, SEAGER, 2018 IN PRESS). THIS DATABASE CONTAINS GENUINE NATURAL PRODUCTS (NOT DRUG METABOLITES OR SYNTHETIC DERIVATIVES) AND EACH NATURAL PRODUCT IS CONNECTED TO SPECIES FROM WHICH THE PRODUCT WAS ISOLATED. THE THIRD DATABASE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND IS A PROXY FOR HYDROLYTICALLY STABLE CHEMICAL SPACE, CREATED BY COMBINATORICS FROM SEED MOLECULES AND FILTERED BY HYDROLYTIC AND THERMODYNAMIC STABILITY CALCULATIONS AND ESTIMATORS. WE NOW HAVE DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY TO DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURE AND THERMODYNAMICS OF THE CHEMICAL SPACE FROM WHICH A BIOCHEMISTRY IS SELECTED. THIS ALLOWS US TO MAP THE CHEMICAL SPACE OF LIFE ONTO AN EXHAUSTIVE SPACE FROM WHICH BIOCHEMISTRY IS SELECTED, AND HENCE IDENTIFY BOTH THE CHEMISTRY THAT LIFE USES AND THE LACUNAE THAT LIFE AVOIDS. BUILDING ON THIS WORK, WE PROPOSE TO 1] MINE THE DATABASES BOTH TO FIND NOT YET CONSIDERED POTENTIAL BIOSIGNATURE GASES AND EXPLORE SOME OF THEM AND 2] MAP HOW EARTH LIFE EXPLORES CHEMICAL SPACE BY A FEW CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF CHEMICAL FUNCTIONALITY LIFE AVOIDS. THE GOAL IS TO EXTEND CONCEPTS OF POSSIBLE CHEMICAL EVOLUTION RELEVANT TO THE ORIGIN, EVOLUTION, AND DISTRIBUTION OF LIFE FOR THE FIRST TOPIC, WE CONSIDER EXOPLANETS WITH ATMOSPHERES WITH NO MOLECULAR OXYGEN AND LOW TO MEDIUM HOST STAR ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION. THIS OPENS THE POSSIBILITY FOR GASES TO ACCUMULATE TO DETECTABLE LEVELS, EVEN FOR MOLECULES RAPIDLY DESTROYED IN EARTH S ATMOSPHERE, THUS EXPANDING THE BIOSIGNATURE GASES WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF. PRELIMINARY WORK SHOWS PHOSPINE, ISOPRENE, AND HALOCARBONS ARE WORTHY FOR DETAILED EXPLORATION. WE WILL USE EXISTING EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERE CODES, EXISTING PHOTOCHEMISTRY CODES, AND EXISTING MOLECULAR LINE LISTS OR MOLECULE CROSS SECTIONS OR ESTIMATES. FOR THE SECOND TOPIC WE PROPOSE A RADICAL NEW APPROACH, BASED ON EXPLORING HOW LIFE AVOIDS OR RARELY USES CERTAIN SPECIFIC CHEMICAL CLASSES OF MOLECULES AS WELL AS THE MOLECULES IT DOES USE. SOME OF THE EXCLUDED MOLECULAR CLASSES ARE CHEMICALLY FLEXIBLE, STABLE, AND HAVE WIDE CHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALITY. THIS APPROACH HAS NOT BEEN ATTEMPTED BEFORE INSTEAD THE COMMUNITY HAS FOCUSED ON A WIDE RANGE OF ISOLATED HYPOTHESES AS TO WHY LIFE DOES USE CERTAIN SPECIFIC CHEMICAL FUNCTIONALITIES (E.G. PEPTIDE BOND, PHOSPHATES ETC.). WE HAVE QUANTIFIED OCCURRENCE RATES OF DIFFERENT BONDS, MOLECULAR FRAGMENTS, AND MOLECULES AMONGST LIFE S PRODUCTS, SOLIDIFYING KNOWN, YET, CHEMICALLY PUZZLING GAPS AMIDST THE VAST DIVERSITY OF THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE. IN RECENT WORK WE PRESENT A HYPOTHESIS FOR LIFE S NEAR AVOIDANCE OF N-S CONTAINING COMPOUNDS (PETKOWSKI, BAINS, SEAGER, IN PRESS) AND THE PROPOSED WORK IS TO EXPLORE ADDITIONAL CONCRETE EXAMPLES. FOR THIS TOPIC WE USE A CUSTOM CHEMICAL COMBINATORICS CODE, A SUITE OF PYTHON TOOLS BOTH CUSTOM-MADE AND EXISTING FOR CHEMOINFORMATICS, LITERATURE REVIEW FOR REACTION RATES, AND EXPERIMENTS INVOLVING NMR TIME COURSE REACTIVITY ASSAYS. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS WORK IS THAT OUR NEW APPROACH MAY PROVIDE FRESH INSIGHT INTO LIFE S EVOLUTION THROUGH CHEMICAL SPACE AND ITS ORIGIN AND EARLY EVOLUTION AS WELL AS AN INSIGHT TOWARDS POSSIBLE BIOCHEMISTRIES AND BIOSIGNATURES OF NON-EARTH-LIKE LIFE ELSEWHERE .

Description

THIS PROPOSAL WILL MODEL HOW THE IMPACT-DRIVEN REDISTRIBUTION OF PRISTINE CRUSTAL AND UPPER MANTLE MATERIAL IS REFLECTED IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE LUNAR SURFACE. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THREE FOCUSED TASKS. IN TASK 1 WE WILL DEVELOP OUR INITIAL CONDITIONS AND IMPACT MODEL. WE WILL DEVELOP SIX MODELS FOR THE ORIGIN (SYMMETRY OF LUNAR MAGMA OCEAN (LMO) CRYSTALLIZATION) AND EVOLUTION (DEGREE OF OVERTURN) OF THE LUNAR CRUST AND MANTLE, FROM PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED LMO HYPOTHESES. WE WILL DEVELOP A UNIQUE STRUCTURE OF CUMULATE STRATIGRAPHY AND COMPOSITION FOR EACH MODEL THAT SATISFIES A MASS BALANCE OF THE BULK LUNAR COMPOSITION. WE WILL ALSO ADD MULTI-COMPONENT TRACKING TO THE MATERIAL TRACKING CODE THAT SCIENCE-PI HUANG IMPLEMENTED IN THE IMPACT BOMBARDMENT CODE, CRATERED TERRAIN EVOLUTION MODEL (CTEM) AS PART OF HER PH.D. IN TASK 2 WE WILL CONSTRAIN THE INITIAL COMPOSITIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE MOON BY MODELING THE MIXING OF MATERIALS BETWEEN FELDSPATHIC HIGHLANDS TERRANE, SOUTH POLE-AITKEN BASIN TERRANE, AND PROCELLARUM KREEP TERRANE AND COMPARING OUR RESULTS TO LP-GRS TH, FEO, AL2O3, AND TIO2 ABUNDANCE MAPS&GRAIL CRUSTAL THICKNESS MAPS. IN TASK 3, WE WILL STUDY THE GENESIS AND TIMING OF PKT BY INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF PUTATIVE IMPACT GENESIS ON THE TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF TH FROM PKT INTO THE HIGHLANDS.

Description

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH PROGRAM IS TO USE PHASE EQUILIBRIUM EXPERIMENTS TO DETERMINE THE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF MELTING OF LUNAR MAGMA OCEAN (LMO) CUMULATES. A SERIES OF CUMULATE COMPOSITIONS THAT SPAN THE MIDDLE TO LATE STAGES OF LMO SOLIDIFICATION HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR INVESTIGATION. WE WILL MELT THE LUNAR MAGMA OCEAN CUMULATES OVER A RANGE OF PRESSURES (0.5 3.5 GPA) AND TEMPERATURES (1060 1680 C). WE WILL SYSTEMATICALLY INVESTIGATE THE INFLUENCE OF VARYING THE AMOUNTS OF TRAPPED LIQUID. THE EXPERIMENTS WILL BE CARRIED OUT USING BOYD-ENGLAND END-LOADED PISTON CYLINDERS IN BOTH IRON AND GRAPHITE CAPSULES IN ORDER TO EXPLORE THE EFFECTS OF VARYING FO2 IN THE HIGH TI AND HIGH FE COMPOSITIONS. WE WILL THEN USE THE EXPERIMENTALLY DETERMINED PRESSUREDEPENDENT MELT COMPOSITIONS AS INPUTS INTO A QUANTITATIVE 3-COMPONENT MAJOR ELEMENT CUMULATE REMELT MIXING MODEL, WHICH WILL ALSO TAKE FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION INTO ACCOUNT. THIS MODEL WILL CONSTRAIN THE PROCESSES THAT GAVE RISE TO THE ORIGIN OF AND COMPOSITIONAL VARIABILITY WITHIN THE 25 LUNAR ULTRAMAFIC GLASS GROUPS.
