Global Erratum for Kepler Q0 - Q17 & K2 C0 - C5 Short-Cadence Data

Douglas Caldwell Jeffrey Van Cleve

Modeling the Normal and Neoplastic Cell Cycle with Realistic Boolean Genetic Networks : Their Application for Understan...

Zoltan, Szallasi Shoudan, Liang

In this paper we show how Boolean genetic networks could be used to address complex problems in cancer biology. First, we describe a general strategy to generate Boolean genetic networks that incorporate all relevant biochemical and physiological parameters and cover all of their regulatory interactions in a deterministic manner. Second, we introdu...

Interacting Surfaces and Atmospheres in the Outer Solar System

Cristina, Dalleore

The work reported here is an extension of ongoing efforts in data reduction and modeling of the spectral reflectances of several objects in the outer Solar System. In general terms, this requires an evaluation of the data obtained at the telescope, conversion of those data into geometric albedo units, and the combination of individual spectrum segm...

"Application of Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometry to Isotopic Studies for Exobiology"

Sauke, Todd B.

Computer-controlled electrically-activated valves for rapid gas-handling have been incorporated into the Stable Isotope Laser Spectrometer (SILS) which now permits rapid filling and evacuating of the sample and reference gas cells, Experimental protocols have been developed to take advantage of the fast gas handling capabilities of the instrument a...

Synthesis and Development of Porous Polymeric Column Packing and Microchip Detectors for GC Analysis of Extraterrestrial...

Thomas C., Shen

This report summarizes the last nine years research accomplishments under Cooperative Agreement NCC2-650 between NASA, Ames Research Center and SETI Institute. Four Major research tasks are conducted: 1. Gas chromatography column development. 2. Pyrosensor development. 3. Micro-machining gas chromatography instrument development. 4. Amino acid anal...

Mars Sample Handling and Requirements Panel (MSHARP)

Michael H., Carr Daniel J., Mccleese Jeffrey L., Bada Donald D., Bogard Benton C., Clark Donald, Devincenzi Michael J., Drake Kenneth H., Nealson James J., Papike Margaret S., Race ...

In anticipation of the return of samples from Mars toward the end of the first decade of the next century, NASA s Office of Space Sciences chartered a panel to examine how Mars samples should be handled. The panel was to make recommendations in three areas: (1) sample collection and transport back to Earth; (2) certification of the samples as nonha...

Photometric Observations of 6000 Stars in the Cygnus Field

W., Borucki D., Caldwell D., Koch J., Jenkins Z., Ninkov

A small photometer to detect transits by extrasolar planets has been assembled and is being tested at Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton, California. The Vulcan photometer is constructed from a 30 cm focal length, F/2.5 AeroEktar reconnaissance lens and Photometrics PXL16800 CCD camera. A spectral filter is used to confine the pass band from 480 to 7...

The Extraction of the NIRS Point Source Catalogs

Freund, Minoru M.

The Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS) on the Infrared Telescope in Space, IRTS (a Japanese-US collaboration project), surveyed about 7% of the sky during its one month mission. In this work we extracted spectro-photometric point source (PS) data between 1.4 and 4 micron of high quality absolutely calibrated (2% flux uncertainties) and unbiased PS s...

Geophysics of Small Planetary Bodies

Erik I., Asphaug

As a SETI Institute PI from 1996-1998, Erik Asphaug studied impact and tidal physics and other geophysical processes associated with small (low-gravity) planetary bodies. This work included: a numerical impact simulation linking basaltic achondrite meteorites to asteroid 4 Vesta (Asphaug 1997), which laid the groundwork for an ongoing study of Mart...

Catastrophic Collapse of Particulate Clouds: Implications From Aggregation Experiments in the USML-1 and USML-2 Glovebox...

John Marshall Friedemann Freund Sauke, Todd Freund, Minoru

Experiments with electrostatic aggregation of well-dispersed (nominally, mono-dispersed), freely suspended particles in the United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML) Glovebox have determined that filamentary aggregates are a universal product of grain interactions in relatively dense particulate clouds. Aggregate growth from the experimental par...
