Magneto-optical resonances in fluorescence from sodium D manifold.

We report on magneto-optical resonances observed in sodium fluorescence from D manifold with an intensity-modulated light. Fluorescence resonances are measured in the perpendicular (90°) and backward (180°) directions to the light propagation in laboratory experiments using a sodium cell containing neon buffer gas. Properties of these resonances are studied by varying the magnetic field at fixed-light modulation frequency, and vice-versa.

A new model of the crustal magnetic field of Mars using MGS and MAVEN.

While devoid of an active magnetic field today, Mars possesses a remanent magnetic field which may reach several thousand nT locally. The exact origin, and the events which have shaped the crustal magnetization remain largely enigmatic. Three magnetic field datasets from two spacecraft collected over 13 cumulative years have sampled the martian magnetic field over a range of altitudes from 90 km up to 6000 km: a- Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) magnetometer (1997-2006); b- MGS Electron Reflectometer (1999-2006); c- MAVEN magnetometer (2014-today).

Magnetism at Depth: A View from an Ancient Continental Subduction and Collision Zone.

Recent sophisticated global data compilations and magnetic surveys have been used to investigate the nature of magnetization in the lower crust and upper mantle. Two approaches to constraining magnetizations are developed, providing minimum (0.01 SI) and maximum (0.

Planetary science. Low-altitude magnetic field measurements by MESSENGER reveal Mercury's ancient crustal field.

Magnetized rocks can record the history of the magnetic field of a planet, a key constraint for understanding its evolution. From orbital vector magnetic field measurements of Mercury taken by the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft at altitudes below 150 kilometers, we have detected remanent magnetization in Mercury's crust. We infer a lower bound on the average age of magnetization of 3.

The global magnetic field of Mercury from MESSENGER orbital observations.

Magnetometer data acquired by the MESSENGER spacecraft in orbit about Mercury permit the separation of internal and external magnetic field contributions. The global planetary field is represented as a southward-directed, spin-aligned, offset dipole centered on the spin axis. Positions where the cylindrical radial magnetic field component vanishes were used to map the magnetic equator and reveal an offset of 484 ± 11 kilometers northward of the geographic equator.

Mycobacterium chimaera causes tuberculosis-like infection in a male patient with anorexia nervosa.

Here we present a 27-year-old male patient--with a known prolonged history of anorexia nervosa (AN)--suffering from tuberculosis like infection. At the time he was admitted to clinical treatment, he had developed fever up to 40°C and survived on a body mass index of 11.8.

The structure of Mercury's magnetic field from MESSENGER's first flyby.

During its first flyby of Mercury, the MESSENGER spacecraft measured the planet's near-equatorial magnetic field. The field strength is consistent to within an estimated uncertainty of 10% with that observed near the equator by Mariner 10. Centered dipole solutions yield a southward planetary moment of 230 to 290 nanotesla RM3 (where RM is Mercury's mean radius) tilted between 5 degrees and 12 degrees from the rotation axis.

Heat flux anomalies in Antarctica revealed by satellite magnetic data.

The geothermal heat flux is an important factor in the dynamics of ice sheets; it affects the occurrence of subglacial lakes, the onset of ice streams, and mass losses from the ice sheet base. Because direct heat flux measurements in ice-covered regions are difficult to obtain, we developed a method that uses satellite magnetic data to estimate the heat flux underneath the Antarctic ice sheet. We found that the heat flux underneath the ice sheet varies from 40 to 185 megawatts per square meter and that areas of high heat flux coincide with known current volcanism and some areas known to have ice streams.

[The sequential traumatisation of a Sinti-child Holocaust-survivor].

The subject of this case-report is the life-history, nosogenesis and history of compensation claims of a 64-years old Sinti-woman, who survived Nazi-persecution and WWII as a child. She and her mother spent 3 years in a concentration camp. At the end of the war she witnessed her mothers death.
