Very low frequency (VLF) waves (about 3–30 kHz) in the Earth’s magnetosphere interact strongly with energetic electrons and are a key element in controlling dynamics of the Van Allen radiation belts. Bistatic ...
Geodetic evidence for slow slip recurrence changed by stress perturbations was rare, especially from afterslip following a nearby large earthquake. The first observed slow slip events in the southernmost Ryuky...
An impact of a meteoroid on the lunar surface at speeds exceeding several kilometers per second generates a light flash generally less than 0.1 s in duration. We made a simple spectral video camera for observi...
