Discovery of 15-second oscillations in Hubble Space Telescope observations of WZ Sagittae following the 2001 outburst
We report the discovery of 15-s oscillations in ultraviolet observations of
WZ Sge obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope approximately one month after
the peak of the 2001 outburst. This is the earliest detection of oscillations
in WZ Sge following an outburst and the first time that a signal near 15 s has
been seen to be dominant. The oscillations are quite strong (amplitude about
5%), but not particularly coherent. In one instance, the oscillation period
changed by 0.7 s between successive observations separated by less than 1 hour.
We have also found evidence for weaker signals with periods near 6.5 s in some
of our data. We discuss the implications of our results for the models that
have been proposed to account for the 28-s oscillations seen in quiescence. If
the periods of the 15-s oscillations can be identified with the periods of
revolution of material rotating about the white dwarf, the mass of the white
dwarf must satisfy M_WD > 0.71 M_sun. The corresponding limit for the 6.5-s
signals is M_WD > 1.03 M_sun.Comment: accepted for publication in ApJ Letters; 13 pages, 4 postscript

Prediction of leaf area index using integration of the thermal infrared and optical data over the mixed temperate forest
Orbital assembly and maintenance study
The requirements, conceptual design, tradeoffs, procedures, and techniques for orbital assembly of the support structure of the microwave power transmission system and the radio astronomy telescope are described. Thermal and stress analyses, packaging, alignment, and subsystems requirements are included along with manned vs. automated and transportation tradeoffs. Technical and operational concepts for the manned and automated maintenance of satellites were investigated and further developed results are presented
