Since its first publication in 1973, the HITRAN molecular spectroscopic database has been
recognized as the international standard for providing the necessary fundamental …

This paper describes the status circa 2001, of the HITRAN compilation that comprises the
public edition available through 2001. The HITRAN compilation consists of several …

Disintegration of large meteoroids, 1 m to 1 km in size, when affected by aerodynamic forces
in flight is considered in this paper. Arguments are adduced that ablation is of secondary …

We have assembled data on 13 cases of meteorite falls with accurate tracking data on
atmospheric passage. In all cases, we estimate the bulk strength of the object corresponding to its …

The development of Gestion et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosphériques (GEISA:
Management and Study of Spectroscopic Information) was started over three …

The current version GEISA-97 of the computer-accessible database system GEISA (Gestion
et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosphériques: Management and Study of …

Radiation energies of bright flashes caused by disintegration of large meteoroids in the
atmosphere have been measured using optical sensors on board geostationary satellites. Light …

The content of the current (2003) version, GEISA/IASI-03, of the computer-accessible
spectroscopic database, GEISA/IASI, is described. This “system” or database is comprised of three …

Investors have traditionally equated vola-tility with risk and viewed it as unavoid-able.
However, volatility also affects how returns compound over time, which raises the question: Is it …

We investigate the action of the martian atmosphere on entering meteoroids for present and
past atmospheres with various surface pressures to predict the smallest observable craters, …
