DOI: 10.1029/2018gl078808
Abstract: Recent observations of interplanetary medium (IPM) atomic hydrogen Lyman-{\alpha} (Ly{\alpha}) emission in the outer solar system, made with the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on New Horizons (NH), are presented. The observations include regularly spaced great-circle scans… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s001095251703008x
Abstract: The direction of the twilight sky background polarization on the celestial sphere far from the solar vertical depends on the ratio of single and multiple scattering contributions. Variations in the polarization direction during twilight reflect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/ao.470043
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss some features of open-path remote sensing inherent to CW range-resolved S-lidars (S comes from Scheimpflug) as a new, to the best of our knowledge, and promising class of laser instruments… read more here.
