Efecto del entorno de escombros orbitales en el cinturón de protones de alta energía de Van Allen
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|December 2, 1988
Resumen
Los desechos orbitales artificiales están aumentando, lo que lleva a colisiones con protones de alta energía en el cinturón de radiación de la Tierra. Esto reducirá notablemente los flujos de protones por debajo de 1500 km en las próximas décadas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Física espacial y mecánica orbital.
- Investigar la interacción entre los objetos espaciales artificiales y los fenómenos espaciales naturales.
Sus antecedentes:
- El entorno espacial cercano a la Tierra está cada vez más poblado por desechos orbitales.
- Los protones de alta energía en el cinturón de radiación tienen largas vidas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para evaluar el impacto del aumento de los desechos orbitales en las poblaciones de protones de alta energía en el cinturón de radiación de la Tierra.
- Para predecir cambios en los flujos de protones debido a las interacciones entre escombros y protones.
Principales métodos:
- Modelación de las interacciones de colisión entre los desechos orbitales y los protones de alta energía.
- Analizando el efecto de la densidad de los escombros en las vidas de los protones por debajo de 1500 km.
Principales resultados:
- La densidad de los desechos orbitales ha alcanzado un nivel crítico para interacciones significativas con protones de alta energía.
- Se proyecta que las vidas de los protones disminuirán sustancialmente debido a la acumulación de escombros.
- Se espera una reducción notable en los flujos de protones de alta energía por debajo de 1500 km en las próximas décadas.
Conclusiones:
- Los crecientes desechos orbitales representan una amenaza para la estabilidad de los cinturones de radiación de la Tierra.
- Las futuras misiones espaciales y la dinámica del cinturón de radiación se verán afectadas por esta interacción.
- Las estrategias de mitigación para los desechos orbitales pueden ser necesarias para preservar las características del cinturón de radiación.

03:21The Energies of Atomic Orbitals
In an atom, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus. In a multielectron atom, electron-electron repulsions are also observed. The attractive and repulsive forces are dependent on the distance between the particles, as well as the sign and magnitude of the charges on the individual particles. When the charges on the particles are opposite, they attract each other. If both particles have the same charge, they repel each other.
01:15Van de Graaff Generator
Van de Graaff generators (or Van de Graaffs) are devices used to demonstrate high voltage due to static electricity that can also be used for research. Robert Van de Graaff first built one in 1931 (based on original suggestions by Lord Kelvin) for use in nuclear physics research.
Van de Graaff uses both smooth and pointed surfaces, conductors, and insulators to generate large static charges and, hence, large voltages. A substantial excess charge can be deposited on the sphere because it moves...

01:27π Electron Effects on Chemical Shift: Overview
An applied magnetic field causes loosely bound π-electrons in organic molecules to circulate, producing a local or induced diamagnetic field over a large spatial volume. As the molecules tumble in solution, the field generated by π-electrons in spherical substituents results in a zero net field. However, the net field generated by π-electrons in non-spherical substituents is not zero. The effect of this induced field depends on the orientation of the molecule with respect to B0, resulting in...
01:24Potential Due to a Magnetized Object
Magnetic dipoles in magnetic materials are aligned when placed under an external magnetic field. For paramagnets and ferromagnets, dipole alignment occurs in the direction of the magnetic field. However, the dipoles align opposite to the field in the case of diamagnets. This state of magnetic polarization due to the external field is called magnetization. Magnetization is defined as the dipole moment per unit volume. It plays a similar role to polarization in electrostatics.

01:20Momentum And Radiation Pressure
An object absorbing an electromagnetic wave would experience a force in the direction of propagation of the wave. This force occurs because electromagnetic waves contain and transport momentum. The force accounts for the wave's radiation pressure exerted on the object. Maxwell's prediction was confirmed in 1903 by Nichols and Hull by precisely measuring radiation pressures with a torsion balance. The measuring instrument had mirrors suspended from a fiber kept inside a glass container. Nichols...
01:29Potential Due to a Polarized Object
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...
