The Galactic edge, at Galactocentric distances of 14,--,22,kpc, provides an ideal laboratory for studying molecular clouds in environment that is different from the solar neighborhood, due to its lower gas density, metallicity, and little or no perturbation spiral arms. Observations CO,(J,=,2--1) spectral lines were carried out toward 72 located edge using IRAM,30,m telescope. With these observations combined with CO,(J,=,1--0) data MWISP project, we investigated variations R_21 across...

The believed be excited by pickup ions produced from ionization Martian hydrogen exosphere. And previous statistical wave observations suggested that mostly related ion beam velocity distributions.

Abstract The solar wind deceleration upstream of the Martian bow shock is examined using particle and magnetic field measurements obtained by Mars Atmosphere Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN). lacks a strong intrinsic so its upper atmosphere extends beyond interacts directly with wind.

Abstract Proton cyclotron waves (PCWs) upstream of Mars are thought to be associated with the instabilities pickup ions. The ions ring distributions have larger maximum growth rates compared beam distributions. However, observations revealed a notably‐reduced occurrence rate PCWs for Linear instability analysis and corresponding two‐dimensional particle‐in‐cell (PIC) simulation performed investigate ion Mars. indicates that distribution is unstable cyclotron, Bernstein, mirror instabilities....
Abstract We report the first statistical survey of oxygen ion cyclotron harmonic waves observed by Van Allen Probes throughout mission. Our study shows that occurred over 2 < L 6 and across all magnetic local time. More than 50% events were just outside plasmapause, typical wave amplitude is between ∼0.1 several nT. The frequency spacing two consecutive harmonics decreases with increasing but stabilizes when > 5. larger gyrofrequency for many events, especially those at , suggesting...
Systematic differences exist between values of the proton's electric form factors in low-${Q}^{2}$ region extracted by different experimental and theoretical groups, though they are all making use basically same electron-proton scattering data. To try to understand source these differences, we make analytically well-behaved rational ($N=1, M=1$) function, a predictive function that can be reasonably used for extrapolations at ${Q}^{2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$. First, test how well this...
A measurement of the double-spin asymmetry from electron-$^{3}$He scattering in threshold region two- and three-body breakup $^{3}$He was performed at Jefferson Lab, for Q$^{2}$ values 0.1 0.2 (GeV/$c$)$^{2}$. The results this serve as a stringent test our understanding few-body systems. When compared with calculations plane wave impulse approximation Faddeev theory, we found that calculations, which use modern nuclear potentials prescriptions meson-exchange currents, demonstrate an overall...

Analogous to the well-known proton charge radius puzzle, a similar puzzle exists for deuteron radius, $r_{d}$. There are discrepancies observed in results of $r_{d}$, measured from electron-deuteron ($e-d$) scattering experiments, as well atomic spectroscopy. In order help resolve deuteron, PRad collaboration at Jefferson Lab has proposed an experiment measuring named DRad. This is designed measure unpolarized elastic $e-d$ cross section low-$Q^{2}$ region. To extract with high precision,...
Abstract The proton charge radius and nucleon electromagnetic polarizabilities are fundamental properties probing the structure of nucleons. Proton is directly related to distribution characterize response charge/magnetic constituents inside external fields. A precise understanding these quantities crucial not only for how Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) works in non-perturbative QCD region but also bound state Electrodynamics (QED) calculations atomic energy levels. We discuss experimental...
