Report on the activities of Space Science Department in 1980-1981
Abstract
Cosmic rays, plasma physics, astronomy and high energy astrophysics were studied. Solar and interplanetary proton propagation and acceleration are considered. An experiment for measuring charge spectra of ultraheavy, cosmic ray nuclei is described. Electric field data from ISEE 1 and GEOS 2 were analyzed. Atomic and ionic IR fine structure lines emitted by gaseous nebulae were also studied. The southern galactic plane in the CO(2-1) transition at 1.3 mm wavelength was surveyed. Data from the COS B spark chamber gamma-ray astronomy telescope were analyzed.
