    The Experiment 5 Antenna deployment problem onboard Helios A, the failure analysis, and changes in design, test, and operation which led to a successful deployment of both antennas during the early Helios B mission phase are described

    Artificial electromagnetism for neutral atoms: Escher staircase and Laughlin liquids

    We show how lasers may create fields which couple to neutral atoms in the same way that the electromagnetic fields couple to charged particles. These fields are needed for using neutral atoms as an analog quantum computer for simulating the properties of many-body systems of charged particles. They allow for seemingly paradoxical geometries, such as a ring where atoms continuously reduce their potential energy while moving in a closed path. We propose neutral atom experiments which probe quantum Hall effects and the interplay between magnetic fields and periodic potentials.Comment: 4 pages, 1 color figure, RevTeX 4; v2 Revised introduction, additional reference

    Helios is the German-American solar probe which comes within 0.31 Astronomical Units of the sun. A special thermal design and a dry lubrication system have resulted in successful operation up to now, with Helios having finished its first orbit around the sun

    The structure of separated flow regions occurring near the leading edge of airfoils including transition

    All the time and effort was directed toward acquiring, reducing, and analyzing more hot-wire anemometer data. Some static pressure distribution data were also acquired to support the analysis of the velocity profile data. Laser Doppler Velocimetry data were not acquired due to equipment problems. Included were seven combinations of chord Reynolds number, angle of attack, and acoustic forcing using the NACA 663-018 airfoil. This research has as its objective the detailed documentation of the structure and behavior of the transitional separation bubble and the redeveloping boundary layer after reattachment over an airfoil at low Reynolds numbers. The intent is to further the understanding of the complex flow phenomena so that analytic methods for predicting their formulation and development can be improved. These analytic techniques have applications in the design and performance prediction of airfoils operating in the low Reynolds number flight regime
