Revising the kinematics of 12GHz CH3OH masers in W3(OH)
We derive accurate proper motions of the CH3OH 12 GHz masers towards the
W3(OH) UCHII region, employing seven epochs of VLBA observations spanning a
time interval of about 10 yr. The achieved velocity accuracy is of the order of
0.1 km/s, adequate to precisely measure the relative velocities of most of the
12 GHz masers in W3(OH), with amplitude varying in the range 0.3 - 3 km/s.
Towards W3(OH), the most intense 12 GHz masers concentrate in a small area
towards the north (the northern clump) of the UCHII region. We have compared
the proper motions of the CH3OH 12 GHz masers with those (derived from
literature data) of the OH 6035 MHz masers, emitting from the same region of
the methanol masers. In the northern clump, the two maser emissions emerge from
nearby (but likely distinct) cloudlets of masing gas with, in general, a rather
smooth variation of line-of-sight and sky-projected velocities, which suggests
some connection of the environments and kinematics traced by both maser types.
The conical outflow model, previously proposed to account for the 12 GHz maser
kinematics in the northern clump, does not reproduce the new, accurate
measurements of 12 GHz maser proper motions and has to be rejected. We focus on
the subset of 12 GHz masers of the northern clump belonging to the "linear
structure at P.A. = 130-140 degree", whose regular variation of LSR velocities
with position presents evidence for some ordered motion. We show that the
3-dimensional velocities of this "linear distribution" of 12GHz masers can be
well fitted considering a flat, rotating disk, seen almost edge-on.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figures; accepted in ApJ (Main Journal

Effects of high frequency current in welding aluminum alloy 6061
Uncontrolled high frequency current causes cracking in the heat-affected zone of aluminum alloy 6061 weldments during tungsten inert gas ac welding. Cracking developed when an improperly adjusted superimposed high frequency current was agitating the semimolten metal in the areas of grain boundary

The work described in this thesis is part of the Open Space project, a collaboration between Linköping University, NASA and the American Museum of Natural History. The long-term goal of Open Space is a multi-purpose, open-source scientific visualization software. The thesis covers the research and implementation of a pipeline for preparing and rendering volumetric data. The developed pipeline consists of three stages: A data formatting stage which takes data from various sources and prepares it for the rest of the pipeline, a pre-processing stage which builds a tree structure of of the raw data, and finally an interactive rendering stage which draws a volume using ray-casting. The pipeline is a fully working proof-of-concept for future development of Open Space, and can be used as-is to render space weather data using a combination of suitable data structures and an efficient data transfer pipeline. Many concepts and ideas from this work can be utilized in the larger-scale software project
