Dust Devils
This volume reviews both historical and current studies of desert whirlwinds called dust devils on Earth and Mars. These include field measurements, orbital observations, modelling of dust devil formation and structure, studies of their population and statistics, and their atmospheric and climate impact. Dust devils have captivated humankind since antiquity, and yet also assume importance in that most modern of activities, planetary exploration. The close investigation of the planet Mars by an armada of spacecraft in the last couple of decades has stimulated extensive research on these desert whirlwinds, supported by improvements in field instrumentation on Earth, laboratory experiments and ...
Planetary Systems Now
Planetary Systems Now offers a broad, interdisciplinary perspective and introduction to the latest results from leading experts in each field. It offers an unusually wide range of research on topics both inside and outside of the solar system, as well as the most recent results from ongoing ground- and space-based investigations. Experts in their field come together in this volume to discuss solar system exploration with its most recent space missions, theories and evidence concerning planetary system formation, and the nature and formation of exoplanets and exoplanetary systems.Including both questions and answers, this book is intended to be a readable, heavily-illustrated stepping-off point for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scientists beginning research in planetary and exoplanetary science topics.
The Atmosphere and Climate of Mars
This volume reviews all aspects of Mars atmospheric science from the surface to space, and from now and into the past.
A Traveler’s Guide to the Stars
A brief guide to the real science of interstellar travel With known exoplanets now numbering in the thousands and initiatives like 100 Year Starship and Breakthrough Starshot advancing the idea of interstellar travel, the age-old dream of venturing forth into the cosmos and perhaps even colonizing distant worlds may one day become a reality. A Traveler’s Guide to the Stars reveals how. Les Johnson takes you on a thrilling tour of the physics and technologies that may enable us to reach the stars. He discusses the latest exoplanet discoveries, promising interstellar missions on the not-so-distant horizon, and exciting new developments in space propulsion, power, robotics, communications, an...
Comparative Climatology of Terrestrial Planets
"Through the contributions of more than sixty leading experts in the field, Comparative Climatology of Terrestrial Planets sets forth the foundations for this emerging new science and brings the reader to the forefront of our current understanding of atmospheric formation and climate evolution"--Provided by publisher.
Handbook of Satellite Orbits
Fifty years after Sputnik, artificial satellites have become indispensable monitors in many areas, such as economics, meteorology, telecommunications, navigation and remote sensing. The specific orbits are important for the proper functioning of the satellites. This book discusses the great variety of satellite orbits, both in shape (circular to highly elliptical) and properties (geostationary, Sun-synchronous, etc.). This volume starts with an introduction into geodesy. This is followed by a presentation of the fundamental equations of mechanics to explain and demonstrate the properties for all types of orbits. Numerous examples are included, obtained through IXION software developed by the...
Encyclopedia of Astrobiology
Now in its third edition the Encyclopedia of Astrobiology serves as the key to a common understanding in the extremely interdisciplinary community of astrobiologists. Each new or experienced researcher and graduate student in adjacent fields of astrobiology will appreciate this reference work in the quest to understand the big picture. The carefully selected group of active researchers contributing to this work are aiming to give a comprehensive international perspective on and to accelerate the interdisciplinary advance of astrobiology. The interdisciplinary field of astrobiology constitutes a joint arena where provocative discoveries are coalescing concerning, e.g. the prevalence of exopla...

Provides the authority and expertise of leading contributors from an international board of authors Presents the latest release in Advances in Geophysics serials Updated release includes the latest information on geophysical exploration of the solar system
Satellites : de Kepler au GPS
Ce livre expose les équations de la mécanique spatiale qui permettent de bien appréhender le mouvement orbital des satellites. De nombreux exemples éclairent cet aspect théorique. Il se poursuit par un panorama des multiples applications de l’outil satellitaire, qu’on le mobilise pour une utilisation directe (observation de la Terre ou d'autres planètes, communications, positionnement GPS, etc.) ou de très vastes projets comme l'évaluation du changement climatique.
Dynamique méso-échelle de l'atmosphère martienne
Dans cette thèse, nous analysons les phénomènes météorologiques régionaux révélés par les récentes missions martiennes. L'approche est numérique et observationnelle : nous avons construit un modèle météorologique méso-échelle complet pour la planète Mars, dont les applications potentielles sont nombreuses, et réalisé une cartographie à haute résolution de la pression de surface en nous appuyant sur les données du spectro-imageur OMEGA à bord du satellite Mars Express. Nous nous concentrons notamment sur les intenses circulations atmosphériques au voisinage des volcans, canyons et cratères martiens. Nous analysons également l'activité météorologique régionale des plaines martiennes, bien plus marquée que ne l'indique l'analyse synoptique. Les mouvements convectifs dans la couche limite martienne sont étudiés. Mars apparaît comme un environnement propice à d'intenses phénomènes météorologiques régionaux.
